NoFap is a trigger

Like everything else, going here all the time can also be addicting, so yea I agree that sometimes the best thing is to get away from all sex/PMO discussion, and that includes this forum.

 

You can't run from this filth, brother, it is everywhere, absolutely ubiquitous. So bearing this in mind, isn't it helpful to have somewhere to come to discuss ways of avoiding this ever present danger? To keep on refining your recovery plan? To help new members with issues you may have experienced?

 

One has to be meticulous when it comes to the forums. Yes, this site is absolutely filled with triggers, I have been triggered on many occasions while reading stories. I think if you want to continue to find help through the forums without being triggered you will have to avoid the posts made by newbies, the "porn addict" forum, the "what type of fetish did you have" type forums, etc. Focus your attention on "success stories" and just posting in your own journal. In your journal you could ask people not to share explicit details. There are some that really don't care about sharing details, and there are others, whom I deem to be in later stages in rebooting, who make sure not to be explicit.

Everything can be a trigger. When you are not feeding your brain P, which it has become accustomed to, it becomes hyper-vigilant frantically reaching for that stimulus.

Good luck on your journey!

 

So true
