The fast lane to Teshuva

Declare a new beginning. You will become a new person. You will really become the person that you want to be.

How do we keep from sinning? Anyone who helps another person get closer to Hashem gets closer to Hashem himself, and keeps himself from sinning.

from the Shiur by Rabbi Lazer Brody:

The Ego Barrier

One of the most important ideas of OA is that if you want to keep it you have to give it away. You have to help others who need your help and you will really be helping yourself.
