Dear eye fellows,
I am now over 2 weeks into my 90 days.Its starting to get a little challenging.
(Actually as I'm writing this I'm starting to feel calmer. )
Things are triggering me, whether it's thoughts of inappropriate images of the past and other.
Sometimes I also think if I act out once that will satisfy me and my hormones can calm down. Which usually it's not true



So it just leads to more.

Hang in there bro.

I find that when I am stressed the triggers are much more triggering. Kin of like when you are stressed, even small issue can make you mad.

When that happens I try to do some deep breathing to help me calm down

Roy in the SA White Book noted that we frequently prayed and it did not work...because the best we could muster was begging G-d to "Please take it away, so I will not have to give it up!

Look up Dov's "Nuclear Reset" post. I'm sorry I don't have time to dig up the link right now.

Yes thank you!
Being stressed causes more triggers and I just want to turn to this to release or whatever I guess im just used to doing this.
