Hey! First things first -- You did Stop and this is fantastic! Your brain will thank you as if you HAD continued on it would be that much more etched in your brain. also you have identified ways in which you can do better next time: 1. You realized that you did know this magazine would have stimulating material in it, but you started anyway. 2. You realize now that you really were looking for stimulating mateiral. 3. You realize that you continued on even after you found an arousing picture. Knowing these things about ourselves gives us increased strength to turn away from this type of thing in the future. A word about the image-- Ask the Holy Spirit to take this image from you. Repent, receive His forgiveness, and ask Him to take the image. You do not have to live with it to make up for anything. God is happy to help you out of this pit. I know you may be sorry to have let yourself down somewhat, but all in all I think this is really a victory. You can definitely become much stronger in response to it. Cheers to you in recovery.
