    How can success scare you
    It should be failure instead

    Social media specially FB and IG have been the 90% of my triggers. 90% of my relapses have been because of that. The others, weed and alcohol. Remove triggers are essential to win the war. I´m almost in day 90. So it´s my first goal accomplished!! But I think the process haven´t been so effective because I´ve been looking and spending hours on Instagram and Facebook. There are quite of very soft porn. Keep the dopamine in the brain not in the normal levels.

    i totally understand what you mean. that's the reason i hardly use Instagram since i started the counter. i hate triggers, especially those in my mind, it is hard for me to control them. but i still don't know how to join a group. can you help me with that?

    Exactly dude
    That bad day thing is so true
    Sometimes it's the reverse case.....for example if I have to face a social situation.....then that anxiety....can sometimes act as a trigger
    I am glad I started this thread.......all these points are helping me to realize my own trigger

    If it is here then you have to visit the groups section
    There will be certain options......select those with whom you can relate yourself

    Bathing in the NEW is
    nope. Sucess means to be a new version of yourself. This feared me much more than the old pmo version because it's unknown. It scared me a lot.

  18. Tiredness and feeling down (sick, headache, etc.) Are my worst triggers. My willpower is lowest when i don't have the energy to fight, that's why mornings are my toughest time because i generally feel tired in the morning. Oh, and stress of course. Whenever i had a physically or mentally hard day it is harder to fight.

    what i am concluding is that stress....social anxiety...and sometimes fear of future acts as a trigger
