Hi. I'm a recovering addict and just found this forum. It has been a long time since I last looked at porn, but I'm still tempted often and still deal with lust very frequently. I have slippped up and used the internet to look at pages with lingerie, etc. It's the same thing as porn (looking at it for sexual stimulation), just not as socially rejected. But it's still wrong. Jesus said that if we look at women to lust, then we have committed adultery in our hearts. So, I need to overcome all lust. But I know that, with God's help, I can overcome this. I'm really dedicated to beating this because I just can't let my life go on like it was in the past. I need to feel clean. I know that this can only come by stopping sinning sexually and allowing Christ's grace to work in me.
I have signed up for a Safe Eyes account, but since nobody else is looking at what pages I've been accesssing, it is only kind of helpful. I have created a "friend login" so others can see what I've been accessing. It gives a list of the internet domains I have accessed. Flickr has been a place of weakness for me because I can justify going there since it's just a photo sharing site, but I know that there is plenty of tempting stuff there. So, if I have been to flickr.com, it probably was a moment of weakness.
I don't really expect anybody here to be constantly checking on me, but I want to put the login out there so I know that somebody could hold me accountable, and that others who struggle with the same problems can see if I have been strong (in Christ) or not.
