    So as I think about what this is gonna take , I'm interested to know what your limits are? What restrictions do you put on yourself to set yourself up for success?

    Things I'm curious about are limits on :
    1)Social Media - Instagram, etc - I see this triggering people
    2)Movies with nudity in them , etc

    I understand each person is different but I'm trying to get an idea from newbies and veterans in the NoFap / NO PMO community what has helped them succeed.

    Its a good question to ask because sometimes I will find my self being triggered from Instagram or just watching Game of Thrones. It sounds stupid, but you are right and TV Shows/Movies and Social Media can trigger people. I'm trying to limit Social Media as I have been spending lots of time on it lately so I usually only go on it until all my work is done or I have nothing to do. Its hard but when I go on Social Media less I get triggered less. Obviously don't go on a model's instagram page or click on the picture with a girl in a bikini in it. You can never predict what can appear on instagram that will trigger you but at that point you can't be so cautious that you don't go on ever. Going on once in a while doesn't hurt. As for movies I just don't watch the obvious ones that I know I will get triggered you just have to be careful with the rest of them. I don't watch movies with nudity in them that much so I have no problem limiting. I try not to spend massive amounts of time on social media and movies but at the same times I'm not so cautious that I don't go on them at all.

    Yeah. I find myself getting triggered in the past easily, just watching TV and seeing the ad for JCPenny, VS anything with an attractive female in it. I love the female body and think it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. But its the littlest things that trigger it sometimes. I only expect it to get worse, seeing a beautiful women in a bar wearing the low cut shirt or the short skirt.

    I don't know. Im just trying to set myself up for success.

    Yeah I didn't really give a definitive answer, I guess I'm still experimenting I mean sometimes I just need a break and a scroll through social media will do it for me. Its good that you are trying to find limits to set yourself up for success. While I can't give you an exact limit I will say that instead of going on social media or watching TV for an escape try going for a walk or explore a hobby. I mean unless you see a beautiful women walking her dog I don't think you can get triggered from trees haha.
