WELCOME quiet! You are taking an important step by breaking the silence. Taavah grows stronger in a quiet/secret environment, so opening up to safe people is a powerful step in the right direction.

Someone quoted לא מצאתי לגוף טוב משתיקה. Most translate, "I have found nothing better than silence". I heard another explanation that is much more appropriate for our situation "Nothing good comes from silence".

As far as sharing triggering details... I think you can share that you are searching for inappropriate or pornographic images without... well the imagery . Meaning, the particular image you are searcing for is not terribly important. You can share your struggle without sharing the details.

If an alcoholic is addicted to gin or rum or beer or wine - he does not need a different treatment plan. Lust comes in all colors and flavors, but at the end of the day it's all lust. The important thing to consider is not so much the particular thought or action, but ask "am I feeding my lust"?

Do you think you are addicted? Do you think if you had a filter, you could be ok? Do you obsess throughout the day about the next peek? Have you read the GYE handbook? There are lots of great suggestions/tools there.

Keep posting chaver.

If a phone starts ringing on Yom Tov, what would you do?

Assumption: (and for the next 10 seconds, you would be able to see the caller ID, but afterward you would have to wait until Chol to find out who called,)
