YFM: What are the boxing gloves for? I put mine down a while ago

It's hard to tell from the picture if his hands are still in them, maybe he already put them down.

Aha! That's the chiddush!

Trying to pull em out but they're stuck. Guess I didn't fully surrender yet....

Shlomo, Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. If I'm not mistaken I believe you have a bit of sobriety under your belt. If you would care to share your sobriety date, it may be helpful to some of us. Up to you of-course. I do have a question. Can you please by way of explanation reconcile these two statements: 1. " So if I see a beautiful man, those neuronal pathways can get lit up, which is the definition of being triggered. Once those pathways are excited, only a true act of God can keep me sober, because I'm biologically determined to act on those impulses." and 2. "I don't believe that triggers CAUSE me to act out. It's just that my diseased brain tells me I need to lust when I'm feeling triggered." to me they seem to be inconsistent and contradictory. 
Much Hatzlacha!

According to Reb pinchas koritzer, even the direction a dog lays is decreed by heaven; according to rishonim, however, He doesn't get involved.

Workingguy, I just want to point out that the word trigger doesn't appear once in the AA Big Book which is the foundation of 12 step recovery. Well, that's not exactly true, there is one reference to actual trigger on a shotgun. I'm aware the word and the concept is found in the White Book and may be appropriate in the context in which it is found there. I rarely if ever hear the word at SA or AA meetings. 
Much Hatzlacha!

I counted 14 times in the White Book, including "What we seem to be discovering is that just about anything can become a trigger."



I'm not arguing, just referencing. Have a wonderful sober night everyone.

II haven't been at meetings in a while, but the group I was associated with did use the word.

It's not common in the rooms as it is here and it's in a different context.
