Caught Cheating on Social Media

Questions people ask

Should I block them on social media?

Most people find that muting or blocking buys back hours of their day, even when it feels dramatic at first. Our guide to the no contact rule explains what it is actually for, and how to do it without treating it as punishment.

Why does seeing their posts set me back so far?

Because a photo skips past everything you have worked out and lands straight in your body. It is not a sign you are failing at healing; it is a sign the reminder was loud.

Is there a way to track what sets me off?

Yes — the Recovery Companion logs triggers privately, so after a couple of weeks you can see which times of day and which apps cost you the most, and plan around them.
