Day 60: Remove Your Triggers

2/3 of the way to the 90 day marker. I feel a lot more at ease; following Christ, deepening myself in His Word, and focusing on obedience have been truly transformational for me. I would not have gone this long without Him. All the glory goes to Him! It’s interesting though that despite having gone 60 days with no porn, I would still be a fool to think that I’ve “conquered the beast”. I started watching a really great show, which unexpectedly had some sexual scenes and only then did I start to have sexual thoughts pop back into my head. The old me would have given into those impulsive thoughts and seek refuge in porn, but I’m grateful to say that I’m stronger and resisting thoughts is a lot easier. Still difficult, but doable. All this to say: take inventory of what triggers you and REMOVE it. I’ve long since deleted social media and that’s a huge help. My issue is less about porn and more about dopamine, so I’ll still have 2-3 hr doom scrolling sessions on Youtube shorts, but they’re few and far between. But if you don’t remove your triggers, it’s really, REALLY hard to fight this fight.
