• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

How do you deal with it? I know sometimes avoiding certain places helps if you know if there is. But sometimes there will be times where you can't (i.e work, school, church , etc). Summer is coming too so temptation is going to step up. Women tend to wear some of the skimpiest clothing sometimes, which makes it difficult. Appreciate the advice!

From what I see, ladies wear skinnier gowns that keep them cool. As long as it covers their buttocks I think that is ok. But when it comes to swimsuits... I'd suggest swimming in more isolated areas.

When it comes to temptation, it's not only in one time, it's any time where temptation might occur. Keep Jesus on your mind and that may make you think of something else.

So along those lines... Anyone know of a beach on the East Coast which for some reason is super isolated and doesn't have lots of bikini-clad women? I'm guessing there is nothing. I haven't been to the beach since I was a kid and actually love it, but I really don't want to set myself up for failure in that way.

The best bet is to find a smaller beach
