Ha! I find it a bit funny.

i spoke to Dov and was avoiding triggering words. He asks me why i am not saying this word and that word. I told him I did not want to trigger anyone. Somehow he has his opinions, which I respect, and many of them do not have an opinion on them as of now.

You may find in his posts a language that for many of us would be triggering. After all who am i to speak related to someone that has so much work done on himself to get achieve sobriety.


I actually agree with Dov but I do not agree with others. ...meaning that one can say penis and masturbate and sex, for if that is triggering for us, it just shows how much help we need, but there have been posts lately that have gone too far. ....it is not the words but the context.

Sorry, but everyone is entitled to an opinion here, even those that disagree with Dov. It is up to the rest of us (and the mods) to decide if anything is wrong with that.

Sorry for my ignorance Cordnoy, but does berkowitz mean?

Until I came to GYE I couldn't read the word penis and masturbate without getting triggered. After being here awhile though, it doesn't bother me any more (I think that is good, but I'm not sure).

The word "sex" lost its triggerability (hey, how do you like that new word?) long ago when I was teenager because nowadays you see and hear it so often.

Airplanes 22, I think you just figured out how to guaranty a thread will be full of triggering words. Just start a thread about how you want to avoid triggering threads.

Much Hatzlacha!
