Thirty Days Today

To all you young’uns who learned and accepted that you have a problem and you had the courage to come onto this site and join and give this a try, I applaud and admire every single last one of you. It doesn’t matter if you have a long streak or a short one or no streak at all, you are so lucky.

I told myself that I didn’t have a problem. I told myself I’d stop when I started dating someone seriously. I told myself I could never stop so why bother trying.

I was watching YouTube one day and a video automatically played by a guy who was talking about his streak doing NF and the changes in his life that were taking place. When he talked about his shame and guilt I related so much to that. So I decided I’d give NF a try to see if it could help me.

I’ve had ups and downs the last 30 days. I’ve had a lot more energy and I’m getting stuff done every day. I haven’t isolated for days at a time like I used to. I love listening to my favorite music again. I’m socializing more than I have in years.

On the flip side I’ve experienced some real low lows. But they don’t last.

I couldn’t have done it without all the support I’ve gotten on this site. You guys are great. Even you @ultrafabber. You make me laugh when I feel like crying.

I know I’m being super corny right now but my heart is bursting with gratitude. This is the longest streak I’ve had since I was a kid and I’m old.

It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, get right back up, reset that counter and never ever give up on yourself. We are worth it. Every single one of us.

 

Yayyy, congratulations! This made me happy for you when I read it. I'm so happy this site could help you, @SaturnSun. You're doing amazing, girl!
That some serious discipline you have there. That will for sure take you farther than you know.

You'll be able to climb out of this hole with all the dedication you have to bettering yourself. I'm glad to hear about all these positives that have returned in your life and that are happening.

Keep on keeping on : )

 

Wow! Nice work SS. Congratulations and keep up the good streak.

 

really happy to hear this. Cheers to 30 days!

 

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to thank the academy... (sniffs, wipes away tear while holding statue in a death grip)

 

Thanks so much.

 

Ah I didn't see this one. Bravo!
