Almost relapsed today. It's these ads!

    I'm at 56 days and honestly I've been doing great. Then all of a sudden I started really struggling the past few days and I finally figured it out.

    I've been reading manga online and the ads are all scantily clad women. These are on the sides so I tell myself just not to look, but just I've been caught a few times with some full screen ads too. For some reason I thought "I'm past 50 days, these wont work on me anymore", and today I almost relapsed. These ads are so dangerous!

    Gotta hold off on the manga for now until I find a way to block the ads. The scariest part about this is how I didn't realize these were affecting me until I almost relapsed.

    I hope this post helps someone in a similar situation before it's too late.

    Good for you for making the realization and sharing your thoughts. Sometimes it is best to just get away from the computer or phone completely. I have realized Instagram is very triggering as there are always scantily clad pics popping up on my search feed when I scroll. Lately I have either just been not going on Instagram, or only scrolling with the specific intention to reprogram my suggested feed by opening and liking a bunch of non-sexual pictures, pictures of good organic foods or travel spots or inspirational memes. It seems to give you more of whatever you commonly look at, so I'm trying to be very aware and slowly resetting it to cleanse my account of any triggering material.
