This is a good and healthy approach! You and I have chatted some in my journal about dealing with triggers and such, and I agree with this approach.

If we're forever running away from every little trigger and white-knuckling through every temptation, that's not freedom and feels exhausting and impractical for the rest of my life. Glad to hear its working for you! And I hope lots of other guys see this as hopeful that they too can stop thinking so much about p.
