Day 11. The fight is worth it. Never give up. "Where there is no peril in the fight, there is no glory in the triumph." Pierre Corneille
Day 15. I got triggered last night and my urge was really strong, but I fought it and it was worth it. Right now it's still there but it's not as strong as last night. I really want to quit this addiction.
After many relapses I, for the first time, managed to get a consciousness for my urge and could actually reason myself out of doing it even after already searching for p Day 3
As soon as I shoot my mouth off about how the urges have disappeared all I could think about was his much I wanted to relieve myself. Thankfully didn't but it was so tough. Day 15 and half way there.
@Overcome Fear, @takeaction21 and @270916 , you are all doing well, any little tips for us? @jojobthk, @dayez boy and @The seeker , well done for fighting those battles. Keep going! Day 1 for me
Back to ground zero! I relapsed. I was complacency...while I had no urges, a bout of anxiety made me want to escape so bad. I had no defense what so ever because I thought I was cruising. A harsh lesson learnt! I must always be on guard, always vigilant. Also, I need to develop healthy escape mechanisms
Anxiety is such a tough trigger! It's probably my main one. Don't be hard on yourself. Something I've really tried using lately that's been helping is "willingness". I would recomment it for situations involving anxiety, depression, urges etc. You can read about it here: https://cherryhillcounseling.com/responding-to-anxiety-with-willingness/ There's also a Ted Talk:
