No shame or judgment, my friend. We are here to support you. Reseting IS PART of the process. Reseting is not stopping the process.

 

Day 2!

 

Day 5/14

 

Day 14 / 14 completed. Thank you so much for your support guys!!! Hope to see you all in the next challenge.

 

Starting over yet again. Cannot seem to stop making the same mistakes. Stayed up way too late. Feeling bit discouraged because this is my third time restarting this challenge.

 

I know how you feel Kaladin504, I have reset a few times too. Don't give up.

 

Day 7/14

 

Day 3 done. My mind is doing so many rationalisations to give in.

Do you guys have a strategy specifically for the moments where you're wavering? Some quick burpees/shadow boxing is working for me. I also have several site blockers installed which would take a while to disable, so I have time to think about what I'm doing.

 

I can understand how it feels. I call it the 'Split Second Moment' when you kind of have brain freeze i.e. your brain stops thinking rationally. Make some pointers as to what are the various alternatives available to you during that moment. My go to thing is just getting out of the room for a walk and coming back 30 minutes - 1 hour later so that I don't dwell on those thoughts anymore and you will notice that the split second moment has gone without causing you any harm. Remember it is very important to then follow what you have written in those notes.

 

Yes BuffEeyore, for the last few days I have been using my exercise bike which is working really well, especially if I have a cool shower after- I'm still working on having it cold. I don't have site blockers but It sounds like a very good idea. I did put google search on 'safe mode' though which saved me a couple of days ago when I got a bit 'mindless'.
Take care mate.

 

Safe search is also a great idea - I'll do that right now. Thanks Gef!

 

Day 9 !
Trained today with a great friend who is a former Navy Seal and Seal instructor, such an inspiration ! Life is beautiful!

 

Mistakes are okay. That's recovery for ya. It is helpful that you can see your pattern. If you know what's going on, you can deal with it.

I love your support and your ideas!

People like you are what make this community great!

Your hard work will pay off. I cannot express how helpful site blockers are. My life fluctuates so much, which makes recovery sometimes very hard. Normally, I would relapse with the worst kind of material. But with site blockers, I would consume less harmful material, even on my worst days when I REALLY wanted to find the most harmful material.

 

Day 3. Haven't felt this good in a while.
