| Getting an internet filter was a big step for me. While it has been frustrating that it blocks some things that aren't an issue for me, it has also saved me many times. I thought this might be a good place to discuss filters that others have found useful. I use NetMop which works pretty well and is reasonably inexpensive. I'm curious to hear what others have found.

I use http://www.safeeyes.com , which works very well.
My only general input is that sometimes folks early in recovery put way too much emphasis on filters to save themselves from their addictive behavior. Indeed, a filter is a "must" for those working hard at staying free.
Yet I sometimes find some in recovery talking about filters ... to the exclusion of really exploring the deeper issues of why they turn to their addictive behavior. If only putting a filter on one's computer would free oneself of being a sex addict ... ha!

That uses the S4F filtering, and I just recently settup the accountability part too. Supposively it will be updated daily too.
It too blocks some things that I dont feel should....but better safe from temptation than sorry.
And yes I also agree that to attack this problem on the end-result part of the issue only does but so much good. But it has helped me face the real problem as it boils up inside...I can start to see it for what it really is.

| I in no way meant to insinuate that a filter was a permanent fix to addiction. One huge realization that I've learned is that there's no one things that works in recovery. Its more like a tool belt that we need to populate with the proper tools. Certain tools have certain uses where another tool wouldn't be appropriate. Filters are definitely on my tool belt, but are used in their proper place. I'm still in counseling as well to explore deeper issues, but without a filter in place for a boundary, I'd be more apt to fall in my weaker moments.

http://www.contentwatch.com is a VERY good program for blocking porn. No software can stop everything, but this gets most of it. Trust me. I've tried many and (shamefully) found ways to beat them all. This can be beaten as well, but you'd have to be pretty PC savvy to beat it and it has kept me from very, very gross falling when I foolishly throw caution to the wind. It's the best of the bunch that I've found. My wife has the password, so I can't just surf at will. The cost is reasonable.
