Today is day #7, and I think the combination of posting here daily, staying away from twitter and youtube and keeping my weekday drinking to minimum have all been huge helps. Looking forward to upgrading to a 14-day challenge tomorrow.
This is really good. I love the tracing paper analogy; it captures the way an addict should think about each day and the impact his decisions make. I'll try to keep my mind on the day as a whole without becoming fixed on those short moments when I feel that I need PM. Got through days 1 and 2.
The chaser effect dominated me today and I PMO'd. But guys I still am not giving up and keeping faith on myself and hope you guys also keep faith in me. Sorry for letting myself down again.
Day 1 done!! I was at school until like 3:30 pm and got home about 4:30 so i had 5 free hours minus the study hours (approx 1 hour). Out of the four i was balling for an hourish, and came here for half an hour. I kept myself busy all day, and this is the technique i will go with in the future. Im comin' day 2 !!
@2525 Day 7 has finally been completed! I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy but it was well worth the journey. I definitely feel more alert to the world around me and don't feel numb when talking to others like I used to when I was in this PMO loop. I look forward to continuing the challenge in the [14-Challenge!] Mind over matter my brothers, mind over matter.
Day 2 done. Had a good swim this morning, exhausted me enough to have no energy to even think about anything. So, another fine day. Still focused on getting my name on that list.
Day 5 complete! Still going strong with the desire for success. Thank you for all the positive talk and encouragement.
