Need to check in... once or twice a year I have crazy urges to M non-stop for weeks. Then the urges go away. I never truly understood this. I’m going through this right now.
check in tuesday many resets lately fortunately urges decreases during autumn for me . now is time to start new streak ! to start in summer is the toughest!
The file is compressible to shrink it's size for faster upload/downlaod.It is a .rar file and can be easy opened and extracted to any folder with winrar (a small freeware program).Then it will play with any media player.
I remember you having very good streaks.I am sure you can do it again , we all have our ups and downs.
@Rebooter13 i got the affirmations working. I like it. I never would have thought of doing it. I’m hoping for better perspective to help me push urges away during a storm. I’m just going to do 10 minutes at a time then try to think/meditate for another 10 minutes after. I’m not a very deep person so that’s a lot for me lol.
I know that feeling! Time for your defence mechanism to swing into action!! Remember the long term goal!!
Quick check in. Just out of that first week of struggle after a reset. Keeping the running, cold showers and meditation going to push me through the next weeks. As I’ve just written on a friends page here, this motto is high on my thoughts at the moment, “This too shall pass”. I will come out the other side. I will question my brain over its suggestions on P and M!!! I will pass through this and be stronger again. In answer to why we do this, which I think someone was posting earlier. For me it’s easy. I have felt the benefit of streaks up into the 65+ days, and it was amazing. I hate the feeling after a relapse (not because of the guilt or any other let down feeling, but it is the cloudiness of my brain, the loss of clarity on a whole range of issues after a relapse). The difference when in a streak is crystal clear to me. To beat the PM addiction completely, has to be a goal.
Yes! It’s a hurricane season here! Thanks! This helps.... it feels like I can’t see clearly now... this is going to be tough!
Mini check-in. Same mind fight: instant pleasure vs long-term benefits. Let's start and win the fight of this day!
We have joined the resistance! Thanks for share your thoughts and feelings. PM... you shall not pass!
