Hi filozofio and welcome to the forum. Being 30+ days free from pmo is a great accomplishment.
You should be able to set up a counter by clicking someones counter and then clicking the button 'Make a new tracker for me'. Then just follow instructions. You need a google account to accomplish the task. To make tracker visible in your messages add link to it to the Signature box of your RN-profile.

Today I begun to see a stupid film, war film. In the middle of the war film, a girl shows her breasts. It was only for a second, no more, but I was excited. I stopped viewing the film. I don't think it was viewing pornography, and it was only a second. I will left my counter continue to count. But I also recognize that this can be a trigger, and I have to be coutious.
In the future, I will select films carefully.

Thank you for your feedback!!!
I am learning more about how to handle the temptations. After the first reaction, I thought that the method is not to suppress the temptation, or substitute it for other thing (like a good video, christian music, or whatever). I have to face the temptation. If not, the temptation will come back.
What I now do is:
1. Recognize the temptation. I want to see this...
2. Accept the temptation. Is OK, is normal...
3. Remember my freedom. I can chose, in this instance (not in others in the future).
4. I chose my vision of myself, free and changed person, and I develop the vision a bit.
This is what I have learned in the course I mentioned above, and it is really working. In the past, I would experience some victory, but the temptation would have remained there, in my brain, lurking, and I would have begun to approach it, slowly, but feeling worse, and worse.
Now, as I recall my freedom and my vision, I am able to really experience a victory over the temptation. It does not come back, because my desires change, and are oriented towards my vision.
I am grateful for that.
