Spending plenty time reading articles (from this and associated websites, in addition to investing the time to working out what my life is all about (very in-depth/values/dreams and so on), prayer and meditation - including creating 10 Mental Barriers (this definitely worked for me; for the first time in many years i have founded consistency, strength and determination.

The T'shuvah is ongoing, and although i am currently single - i deeply want a home/family relationship of purity and modesty. recently, a gentile colleague was proud for have experienced a sex-show. whilst i felt sick, it actually hit-home.
this, in a virtual world, is what i had been associating my life with. Shame on me. it is painful to admit reality, but once you find it - the discovery of Emes by way of closeness to Hashem/Torah - it is clear, beautiful, serene and exciting.

B'hatzlacha Raba. May you all live the life that you Really want
