I Know I’ll be tempted…

I'm not addicted to pornography, but every once in a while...
I don't think I've ever really been addicted to anything. But my job gives me a lot of alone time with my computer, and you might say I'm addicted to my work. But I love my family, and have lots of time with them. We really are a picture of the American dream. We go to church every Sunday, and the kids are in the youth group.
I stumbled into pornography one time as I was doing an Internet search. I was looking for a picture of a medical syringe, so using my favorite search engine, I began searching for medical terms. Wow! Some of the pictures that came up were hard-core pornography! I'm telling you, I'm not addicted, but I couldn't help but click on some of those pictures, just out of curiosity. I was surprised, because I have a filter, and the pictures came through anyway. One thing led to another, and I'd find that an hour had passed away, looking at pornography, of all things! It was obviously a waste of time.
But I have to admit, I enjoyed looking. Every once in a while, I still go to search images and check out what's there. Nobody knows, because I have a filter, and even my history only shows browser searches. So I never get caught.
However, the temptation was so obvious, so strong, that I realized I needed to do something to take away the temptation. I knew I couldn't do it alone, so I really wanted some help, but didn't know where to turn.
I searched the net, and found Covenant Eyes. They have a filter, but the main thing that they provide is complete accountability. So I signed up. After I signed up, I tested it by going to one of the more "innocent" browser searches (though I knew it wasn't completely innocent). Sure enough, that site got red-flagged, and I haven't been tempted since!
Thanks to Covenant Eyes for providing such a sure-fire tool to block the temptation. I never was addicted to pornography, but I might have been... and now, because of Covenant Eyes, I never will be addicted.
