    So I caught myself before doing it this time, but have done it a lot in the past. I was watching the news and one of the anchors was really attractive to me. In the past I would have googled her name and then done an image search on bing (bing really is the best search engine for porn). The image search would be with safe mode turned off and I would begin my journey to find naked or sexually stimulating pictures of her.

    I realized the pattern in my behavior and caught myself getting ready to do it and stopped. I wanted to share as this would be a behavior that would really not be acceptable to my SO.

    When you aren't actively trying to be vigilant you can fall into these "innocent" traps.

    They seem innocent, to start with, when you're acting out. But after an addict has started real recovery work, he or she can see that they're clearly nowhere near innocent. Maybe think about really examining your life to find other habits that were once innocent. Just a thought.

    Best of luck in your recovery!

    Well done! Nip it in the bud and it's easier to stop. I try hard not to check anyone out in a sexual way. In fact anyone attractive I make a point of focusing on the eyes or look away.
