I am in. As I have found many challenges and already am on my longest recorded streak of 19 days without P&M, it will be an interesting journey through the month.
I recently just relapsed and instead of looking down I’m looking up. I want a fresh start this month!
I've been struggling today, but honestly, knowing that we're all in this together gives me hope and courage. @Syphax don't be worried about the weekend. Fear will NOT help you. Thus is for everyone.. When your worried about a speech or a whatever your more likely to choke, but when you strategies and have faith in your plan, guess what happens, you thrive. So the questions to you, me and all of us, 1. Are we doing enough to quit? 2. How does the amount of effort we're putting in this time COMPARE to last time? 3. Can we do more to quit? 4.How does the amount of effort we're putting in this time COMPARE to last time? 5. Are we doing enough to quit? My answers. 1. Am I doing enough to quit?? A: I feel like I am doing a lot but I don't know. 2. How does the effort im putting in this time COMPARE to the effort I put in last time?? A: I feel like at the moment I'm putting in the same amount of effort. I feel like the closer I get to that point that the opportunity presents itself and I'm about to use, thats when I'll know the answer. But I have to remember to answer this question when that time comes. 3. Can I do more to quit?? A: Yes I can definitely do more. (Personaly) For weeks I've been meaning to start writing in a journal. I don't workout. I watch too much TV. I hate my job (mental health) but I've put little effort into looking for a new one. I've been reading but like I said, I watch too much TV and not that it's bad but I could be more productive with my time. I heard that talking to your younger self by printing pictures of your younger self is a way to practice self love. I've been meaning to do that for months and still haven't. And again, personally, I want to get closer to God. I've been meaning to for weeks but haven't even kneeled and prayed aside from Sunday services. I have been reading the Bible but inconsistently. I could listen to some podcasts but #TV. 4.How does the effort im putting in this time COMPARE to the effort I put in last time?? A: Well I guess I don't really have to wait until that moment to see how much effort I'm putting. When I answered this question the first time, I referred to the effort I put at that last few minutes that I start white-knuckleing it. Clearly I can acknowledge that there are a few things that I've been "letting slide" for weeks and months and if I continue to do so then yeah, I'm only putting the same amount of effort as the last time, and clearly, that amount of effort didn't stop me from giving in so yeah, I need more effort. 5. Am I doing enough to quit? A: No, if I haven't changed a bit since my last use, and what I was doing didn't work for me last time then, the answer is no.
Day 3/30! No urges, but the weekend are my week spot. I made a lot of plans this weekend, so hope to avoid my pitfalls... Have a good weekend!
