First, you have to stop, like he said. Then, you have to put a fence. A fence, like he said, meaning you know certain trigger points that you have. You know that every time you hang out with this guy and that guy, they bring you to some club that you don't want to be in. You know that every time you walk around that street, all of the they go there also. So, don't go on that street. Just like somebody that wants to go on a diet, he's not going to go past his favorite restaurant every day. Just for you know, for memories. No, why? Cuz eventually he's going to go inside. So, you know that there's a certain trigger points. You have certain trigger points that cause you to sin. You know that every time you go to a certain website, what happens? So, don't go on the website. You know that every time you're on a computer alone at night, it happens. Don't go on the computer alone at night. You know trigger points, so make a fence. Regret is not just about, "Oh, I'm sorry." Thank you, you're sorry. What do you do about it? What do you do about the sorry? You say, "I'm sorry" to your wife for yelling at her, but while you're yelling at her. That's not I'm sorry. What are you doing about it? You're doing something about it? You're going to take some anger management classes? You're taking doing You smash your head against the wall a few times? WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT? NOTHING? SO, YOUR sorry means nothing. Do something. Put a fence. Third, like he said, pray, but pray with tears. Pray, I'm really, really sorry. How are you going to be really sorry for something you enjoyed so much? Anybody have an answer for that? How are you going to be really sorry for something you enjoyed so much? Only way you're going to be really sorry is you understand the magnitude of the sin. You listen to the a thousand times until you understand how bad the sin is, and that sin, that pleasure becomes disgusting to you. Last but not least, you have to make up for lost time, for the sins you've made. There's only one way to do it. You do whatever you can to cause other people to stop sinning. Whether it's arranging lectures like this, or just using your right finger or your left finger, whichever one, it's the same price, and pressing share on the button of this lecture and other lectures like it like we have, and sharing it with every contact you have. Why? You share with people, they're going to do chuvah. That's making up for lost time. There's no other way to make up for lost time. That's what the prophet Ezekiel says, "Don't let your sins be the stumbling block of your future." Why? You have to make up for lost time. You have to make up for the past sins.
