Quick & Easy Tips 10 Dec 2008 18:23 #1251

I always carry a small mirror in my pocket and as soon as I am tempted or improper thoughts/images pop into my head I look at myself in the mirror and everything vanishes and stops me from going down that slippery slope again.

Wow! what an interesting idea.
I wonder why it works
a) Tzelem Elokim
b) Dmis Oviv
c) Anything special on your face.....
or any other reason

I think this works because you see yourself in "third person" and can laugh that this face and this body, this flesh and blood that you see in the mirror wants such things... (you no longer see it as "I" want it)

I saw once on someone's fridge, "the most active sex-organ is.... the human brain",.  Perhaps when we look at our faces from the "outside", we get a chance to see that there is a human being there as well.

good philospehy, but if you are a real sex-addict then all this works only untill you get hit with a temptation. this is a good indication that you are a sexaholic, and for me nothing works except God thru the twelve steps
