    I apologize if this triggers anyone but Alright guys so ive stopped thinking about porn but i CANNOT stop thinking about girls with beautiful bodies. I just cant get over the body parts and wanting to look at nude women and gifs.
    My BIGGEST trigger is literally the google home page. Sounds stupid because i use it all the time for important thinga like gym articles or a product or whatever... but when i see ir, my mind starts to wonder “what if i type this name, or word and click on images”? That is literally the hardest thig dor me right now. Ive stopped myself from doing that shortly after browsing for a few seconds (we all know how many pics or gifs we can see in just a few seconds, it can be a lot).
    I also find ebay hard to control because yes ill use it to look up things i need but then my mind starts to think the same thing “what if i search this?” and i do it and then the same thinf happens.

    And the worst one ive experienced is my email, apparnetly i have a pinterest account i dont remember why i made ot but pinterest has a lot of nudity and gifs that people post. So out of curiousity i go on there and repeat the cycle of what if and then i see massive massive triggering stuff for me and im like CRAP i need to stop. This is all exactly what happened to me just a few minutes ago and im here typing this with a super fast heartbeat and feeling my insides turn all hot out of wanting to watch more.

    I want to clarify, yea i willingly search this but dont go overboard with it, even though yes, it turns me on and makes me want to relapse.

    THIS is what i needd help in, because i cant seem to cobtrol my curiousity and i SERIOUSLY CANNOT relapse again, i simply cant, and i want to know what you guys have done to prevent yourself from pointlessly searching and scrolling only to “come across” somethi g that triggers you. The answer may be very simple but damn its hard to think right now and i would just appreciate all feedback. Thanks guys
     
  2. Hey!

    Just found this thread now. This is one of my biggest difficulties right now as well. I think it has to do with how your brain is wired. I would never go directly and look up porn because I know I shouldn't. But I often find myself doing the exact thing as you described, out of "curiosity" googling stuff. It happens often that I google really suggestive phrases just to see what pops up. I think the most important thing to do is to realize what your brain is trying to do as fast as possible. The best is of course to stop before you even have the time to search, which I am really bad at, but even if you proceed the search trying to back out as fast as possible. What I used to do was to think "oh well, I screwed up my strike so Í might just as well go and binge porn" every time I came across a nude image. But that's exactly what your brain wants. Now, I'm trying to think much more in terms of stopping myself as soon as possible instead of thinking too much about what counts as losing my streak or not.

    Also, what I'm trying to do is to reason with myself. In reality you very well know what you want to find when you google and that you should not look at that. When I end up googling these things I'm often working at my computer and am getting bored and unfocused on my work. I want to become better at taking breaks and doing something else, preferably away from my computer for a while before going back to my work. It also makes the work more productive.

    I don't know if this was any help to you, I struggle with the exact same thing. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more. I would also like to discuss this particular psub more.
