Here is a good resource: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occasion_of_sin
I believe a proximate occasion of sin is a situation that is real close to allowing the conditions for you to fall to sin i.e. an alcoholic walks into a bar promising himself he will just drink soda, or if a person who struggles with pornography finds himself on the computer late at night.
A remote occasion of sin, in using the same examples, is if an alcoholic instead of going to a bar he goes to a shopping mall. Certainly there could be alcoholic somewhere in the mall but that’s not really the main attraction. Also, if the same person who struggles with pornography finds himself on his computer right next a a co-worker in the middle of the day. Presumably it would be hard for him to satisfy his lusts at this time (presumably at least, I know the rate of people using that garbage at work is higher than it should be).
God bless you.
