What Counts as Porn in Recovery?
Understanding what counts as porn can be tricky. Many think of porn as just videos. But for some, it goes deeper. It touches on how different things make you feel.
What to Consider
You might ask yourself three questions:
- Does it look like porn?
- Does it feel like porn?
- Does it act like porn?
If the answer is yes, then it might be porn for you.
Personal Reflection
A user shared a story about their journey in recovery. They realized that hookup apps like Tinder felt like porn. Social media also gave them similar feelings. Once they recognized this, they found it easier to set boundaries.
The Power of Honesty
Focusing on how things affect you rather than what is technically porn can help. Being honest about your triggers is key. This honesty can make recovery simpler and more effective.
Redefining Boundaries
Many people have to redefine what counts as porn. This can be surprising. It opens up new ways to think about your habits.
Here are some examples of things others have found surprising:
- Certain TV shows or movies that spark strong feelings.
- Social media posts that lead to unhealthy thoughts.
- Chatting with certain friends that feels too intimate.
Conclusion
Your definition of porn may differ from others. It is important to find what works for you. Reflect on your experiences and feelings. This can help you in your recovery journey.
