Be on Guard at All Times - Day 12


When overcoming porn addiction, it's important to be on guard at all times. You never know when you'll be confronted with temptation. For example, this just happened to me and it leads to today's post. 

I would like this blog to develop into a resource for other people to use in their fight against porn addiction. In addition, I hope it becomes a successful blog. Therefore, I need to monitor where my traffic is coming from. I need to do whatever works and do more of it. I need to participate in awesome sites like http://treatmenttalk.org/. They provide valuable input, support and provide some links for me. The webmaster is very proactive and even answers everyone's post. It can be hard to find this level of personal touch on the web now-a-days. 

Anyways, one of the referring sites listed on my site traffic had a very innocent looking name to it. I clicked on it to see if I could participate with the site. The first thing I saw across the browser header was something like "free porn videos" or some such. I immediately closed the page before I could see what was on it. That was close. Needless to say, I’m not checking any links unless I start the interaction myself.

I’m hoping that some of these sites are referring people to me because they realize they need to stop watching porn and are seeking help. Hopefully, I’ll say something that makes a difference.

There could be other times that are totally beyond a person's control. For example, a co-worker may show you a dirty picture at work on their cell phone. Whatever the situation or reason, it's important that when we come across these things we immediately turn away and start thinking of some other positive though process.
