Triggers

Hey everyone, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. Although this topic has been covered, I strongly believe it bears repeating. This simple tip can help you avoid a relapse, and it's helped keep me clean for a month hard mode. The key is to *always avoid/move away from all external sexual triggers*. That's it. They're everywhere. From the girly ads you see on facebook or yahoo, to fitness models on TV infomercials, to Victoria's Secret storefront images, to girls walking around wearing scanty summer clothing. You're processing every image you see, triggering hormones that signal a cascade of biomolecules that eventually lead to the "craving" for PMO you want to rid yourself of. Personally, purely softcore mental fantasies don't trigger it as much, but visual ones *always* do. I know this might mean living somewhat asexually for a while, but, remember why you're here. Just look away - don't allow yourself to lock in for more than a second. Do this everyday until you fall asleep, and the next day you'll start with a clean slate. Like the recovering alcoholic that must avoid even the sight of alcohol or a bar, avoid the daily visual "non-website porn" in life that's all around us.

Hope this helps, stay strong guys!
