    Hi everyone,

    I was doing pretty well with my streak. Day 901 yesterday.
    However, I was in a restaurant and going to pay the bill. I looked around and saw a drawing of a naked woman hanging on the wall. Or atleast.. I thought I saw it.
    When I thought I saw it I turned my head away immediately, but then (as a kind of reflex too) wanted to make sure if I really saw what I thought I saw or not. So I quickly double checked kind of on purpose to make sure , but 1-3 seconds only before I looked away. It was a drawing of a naked woman laying in a seductive way.

    I did not feel sexually excited. I was curious and wanted to make something sure, but..

    Does this count as a relapse?
    Did I mess it up / mess up something?

    I was happy I got this far but I feel so stupid about it now and it drives my head crazy.
     
  2. Day 901, that is some going.

    Hell no that wouldn't be a relapse for me. So far in my 70 days I have accidentally come across triggering images, for instance on Twitter or flicking across the channels on TV. 1-3 seconds to identify these images is nothing really.

    If you do not guard your thoughts it could lead to a relapse though. Keep vigilant for a few days and you will forget about it.

    Thank you for your reply!

    Yea.. thoughts is still something to work on. I will not PMO. But I worry about meeting with images and scenes and accidentally watching for too long.
