secondary threats

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by jobbyj, Sep 19, 2017.

  1. as i now get stuck into my nofap journey once again (on day 6 and feeling good), i am wary of how difficult it is to avoid soft triggers.....

    some i am taking stock of, but some are just difficult....

    e.g. i know if i go out and drink i will get tempted....so i dont drink

    but i also know if i say, go onto some news sites, there can be images that can be alluring, and provactive, that lean towards sexualised thinking....i am not saying it will lead me to fap, but it leaves a marker and that marker can grow once it gathers some weight if it isnt stopped, to grabbing other soft triggers

    i am less worried about the porn side of things, but this stuff i think makes day to day harder....even coming onto nofap, where people will be saying words and language that can act as reminders, can be troublesome, so i like this site, but i am also wary

    anyway bit of a ramble, my question

    what other secondary / soft triggers do others note, and what do you do about them?

    thanks

    (i wrote this tonight, as one allured me a bit but i stopped - happy)

    This exact thing happened to me just a couple of hours ago, I was browsing a news site to catch up on the days events when out of the corner of my eye I saw
    a minor celebrity I am extremely attracted to in a bikini
    and it has now been stuck in my head since then, its certainly annoying as I'm not trying to find this stuff on purpose, it just seems no matter where you look something will trigger you eventually.

    Another soft trigger that always gets me is specific words or phrases that remind me of when I used to browse extreme porn, if I hear these words/phrases it can really set my overactive imagination going and pose more of a serious risk than the actual porn itself does.
