Dallas Bragg says the problem isn't dating apps themselves, but why you use them. Seeking connection, intimacy, or escape through apps mirrors the same needs that drive crystal meth use, and those unmet needs can trigger relapse.
Guys, in early recovery from Tina, it's not being on the apps that's a problem. The problem is why you are on the apps. If you're on them because you need to feel connection, if you're on them because you're desperate for somebody to feel intimacy with, if you're on them because you need affirmations to tell you that you're pretty, if you're on them because you need some attention, if you're on them to escape Emotions or what's going on in your life. These are all reasons that you use crystal meth to fill those needs, and that how you get to crystal meth is the apps for the most part. So stop giving me shit about talking about the apps. The apps in and of themselves aren't bad. It's the motivation for getting on them that can lead to relapse.
