I will list some usual triggers .... Earlier I deleted this kind of thread.....but I think I should continue this Because I believe my triggers will help others also....to understand this deep addiction
During pmo addiction my triggers was bordom,loneliness,depression,Social anxiety.Loneliness was the main trigger
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.
This is a very good point you have raised... It's been a while since I left both of these And believe me it's one of the best decisions I make I only use WhatsApp
My trigger is usally starts from one picture accendeinltey and I keep staring at it for like 1 minute and my mind rationilizies saying oh you already saw a picture why not just relaspe and my trigger is usaully when I have a really bad day to remove the pain
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
Here or on WhatsApp? 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.
I would say.....when everything goes fine.... sometimes we still fear.....that what if it all vanishes away.... Interesting point though
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
another one i would like to add .......is that frustration regarding life.... sometimes frustration specially regarding opposite sex results in trigger.... i am so happy to see that most of us share the same triggers.........this will help me to cure the root cause
