While I have considerable personal experience, I am not by any means as educated in addictive behaviors as many others here. So you are probably right.
I just fight it difficult to understand.
Is it healthy for a person who is an alcoholic to  have a well stocked bar just in the other room?
Does a person who is a recovering gambler voluntary choose to live two blocks away from a casino?
Maybe? and if so, I've learned another chiddush.
{we live life and an alcoholic will go to a simcha at times with plenty of booz, and a gambler will find himself here and there in tempting situations. But voluntarily allowing the alluring thing at arms length day after day. - and the person has a low point...}
I find this concept difficult to grasp

Don't misunderstand me.
Filters,Taphsic are tools that don't get to work on the fundamentals of recovery, I get it. but a filter puts a fence albeit a weak one but a fence - to acting out. WE are fickle people. Who says, perhaps just the need to make just one EXTRA click to get to the shmutz might be helpful tp prevent a fall

Shlomo24  - would a filter have helped you in any way in prevention for your recent acting out?

A filter may have helped. It may have not helped. I honestly have no idea. I could see logic for both sides. Your comparison to alcohol is strong, however. I do find that my relationship with my Higher Power is much stronger because I don't have a filter. I think that's worth it for me. I'm really relying and trusting Him much more. I don't know if I would suggest avoiding a filter for everyone, but I think there's a lot to gain by not having a filter. At least in my case. Also, God runs this world, I don't. I understand this may sound interesting, but evidently God decided I was to act out. So in retrospect, a filter would not have stopped me from acting out. Additionally, I'm following my sponsor and my sponsor's sponsor. And I do feel like I'm living a life with a lot more faith. Finally, I'm grateful I acted out. I'm seeing direct, positive, results from it. In a way, withdrawal is beautiful, because I realize how much I need God. That doesn't happen often, especially if my success gets to my head.

You may think it's absurd but that's how I understand my Higher Power. I have absolutely no control over the past. If it happened then it was destiny. So no, opening his eyes would not have helped in the grand scheme of things.

It happened and nothing would have stopped it, so long that it already happened.
