Supposedly addiction is a monopoly of pleasure, and the way to break the monopoly is to develop competing pleasures... Sep 30, 2018

  Day 3. Hard to be starting all over again, always so far from the freedom I envision. Every day sober counts, though. Be well, folks.

  Day 4. I was away from this site for over a month and couldn't get past 3-day streaks. Pathetic, but I'm glad I just broke that cycle.

  Day 2. It's like the motivated me is another person. Let's see how quickly I can take actions to become him again, and even better.

  To be able to smile and look strangers in the eyes with: "I respect your existence. I believe in your dreams," tacitly communicated...

  Day 2. What action - now - will be the foundation to break through 1 month, 2 months, 3 months - well past my all-time record?

  Just imagining how things might smell, taste, sound, look, feel, when truly free of the addiction, is making changes.

  Day 8. Every attempt you've made to get better is worth remembering, examining, like a diamond turned by your fingers in sunlight.

    I had two pet rabbits as a child and I remember that hot little pulse in their chest when I'd hug them - so tender, rapid and vital!

  Day 3. Yes, I relapsed a few days ago. I'm the clown climbing back up onto the trap door of the dunking platform. But I have a new plan.

  Day 14. Tempted last night, half-awake. Glad my laptop was in the basement. Every night it's like a sacred ritual to put it down there.

  Day 12. Just overcame massive, despair-fueled temptation to PMO, and now it's time to celebrate.

  Day 11. Desire seems just as much a motivator to get things done as a hindrance deluding me that I lack qualities I actually have.

  Day 4. Grateful to be right back on track. Sleepy, though, and feeling disconnected from outside world, like there's a force field...

  Day 3. Grateful to be back on a streak. Looking at my last relapse as a university education of insights in what to do differently.

  Day 2. GRATEFUL I didn't binge! Interestingly, my limbs shook uncontrollably at the outset of the relapse, like I was extremely cold.
