Majorly triggered!

Wow, just folding clothes and listening to music, then out of nowhere feel triggered and wanted it badly!! Hot tea and turning lights on and opening windows and doors helps me. The urges feel so strong in the moment! If I make it until it passes though it gives me nice little Serotonin and dopamine release so staying good.

Question for everyone, what’s a song that you can really get into and sing?

Different than a lot of people on here but addiction to pornography (and what typically comes with it.), been struggling with it since I was really young, until a few years ago I didn’t realize it was an addiction and how destructive it was.

Oh, what a night! :laughing: Awesome song. I used to work with the sister of a member of The Four Seasons. I thought that was pretty cool. She talked about all their family dinners with Frankie Valli. It was cool to hear!

Ok great thanks! but what am I missing, why is it called “yacht” rock? I’m German so I’m probably out of the loop here somehow…

I had to look it up too!

"The term " yacht rock " did not exist contemporaneously with the music the term describes, from about 1975 to 1984. It refers to “adult-oriented rock " (or “West Coast Sound”) which became identified with yacht rock in 2005, when the term was coined in J. D. Ryznar et al.'s online video series of the same name.”

Hi Satori, welcome, you’re certainly not alone struggling with porn and masturbation; I do as well (and like you belong to a strong faith tradition; many of us struggling with that do). I hear your voice and I see your struggle.

There is a way forward. Don’t give up. Keep working your sobriety and you will find your path.

Neal made a good post of links here, you may find them helpful or informative; I certainly found joining a group made a huge difference:

Take care & keep holding yourself to a healthy standard. You deserve a safe, sober life where you can be your full self.
