Hi Chevra,

I am struggling mightily with the following situation:

My job requires me to do some administrative work that involves Internet access. On some days, I can make the commute (1-hour each way) to the office. Other days, there are other things going on in the office and it is simply not a place to get work done.

I find myself setting up at home, with no one around. This morning, I told myself that every 1/2 hour, I would take a break from the computer. However, there was stuff that needed to get done. During one of my non-breaks, I glided over to a site I should not be on, found some "fashion photos" and MB'd to them.

How do I get out of this trap?

Firstly, if you have any choice at all, don't work from home. Secondly, do you have someone you can call when you feel weak? Can you install a filter and/or monitoring software?

I am trying to think of where to go. It would look a little silly to sit in a Starbucks, but i may not have a choice. The library is no place for a good Jewish addict

I do have filtering software and accountability software - they are able to be gotten around.

As far as someone to call - might be a good idea, but I don't feel weak beforehand; I just do it.

so.... just make the call.

have you tried other filters, other accountabilty stuff (KBA)?

and if you do sit in starbucks, do you mind sending me a coffee? (quite sweet with milk)

In Starbucks you may avoid "fashion photos", but you may encounter live stuff that can be as triggering. So I guess wherever you are, you need a strong commitment to guard your eyes.

I took a look at KBA; it uses Covenant Eyes, which I already have for Webchaver(and can get around). Unfortunately, in the heat of a binge, the threat of embarrassment (and certainly of an extra charge on my very busy credit card), does not register until it's too late.

I go for extra milk, but will pass on the sweetener

I actually have been doing OK as far as seeing actual people - being nearsighted and removing my glasses also seems to help. Don't know why; I think that I am ashamed to have those women see me ogling them. (They dress that way to get people to like them, but fool themselves into thinking that men are not really fantasizing about them. They would be disgusted to know what's going through our minds...)
