The yetzer horah is capitalizing on my success saying" look how good you have been, you are really strong, you can take a quick look. I had some close calls but still in the game BH.

I feel like I am in a movie theater in a horror movie. I should shout at the screen, "Don't open the door, there is a axe murderer behind it."

If you want proof you can read the hundreds of times people have posted on here,
I just wanted to see it still affected me
I just wanted to take one quick look
I just wanted to see how good my filter was
I just wanted to make that when I closed my eyes I did it for a good reason
I just wanted to make sure my reporting software works (Ok I never saw that one)

Don't fall for the trap!

I can feel the effects of not feeding the impulse. I have less "need" for it, but I think its mostly due to a change in attitude and blocking out triggers. I am traveling this week and will be away for one night. Ready to overcome any issues there I'H.

So I had a little slip last night. The baby was up sick so I was waiting for her to go to sleep. I managed to find some images I shouldn't have. But here is the curious thing... I wasn't nearly as aroused as I would have been in the past. I feel like my brain has an automatic shutoff against these things and actively fights against them even if I'm not that smart. Good news is, no fall. onto day 27.

If you want some chizuk, take a look at the Hakdamah of Rabbeinu Bchayeh Al HaTorah where the famous Medrash of the Melachim demanding why HaShem is giving the Torah to Klal Yisrael is discussed and HaShem's defense of man as juxtaposed to the Melachim .
