You can use it, but I wouldn't recommend it, at least in early recovery. There are a lot of triggers on that app. You have to decide for yourself what tools work best for you during recovery. If you find yourself getting triggered by IG a lot then maybe it's not good for you. I had to delete...

Your brain has been impacted by porn. When you quit you'll re-sensitize your brain and see women (in this case the girl of your dreams) as you once did. They'll appear more beautiful to you and you'll appreciate them as humans and not as lust objects.
