    Day 2

    Today was a pretty nice day, I had my therapy session which went really well so now I'm looking forward to future sessions and seeing how much the therapy helps me on my journey. During my daily group meditation session, we learnt a new practice which was incredibly relaxing and cosy so I'm going to try using it next time I get an urge and seeing how it goes. If it doesn't work it's not the end of the world, I have many other distractions that I can use / try out.

    I had a couple of urges today but nothing too crazy.

    Also, here's an immensely cute video of Red Pandas :)

    Day 3

    I had a few urges but I was able to basically ignore them and just acknowledge the urge and anxiety without judging it which was really really empowering. To me, this is very obviously the consistent meditation I've been doing everyday finally baring fruit. In fact, there were multiple things that happened today which normally would be huge triggers for me and give me a massive urge, but today they didn't do anything except for a little scare (because I naturally assumed it was going to get a massive urge because of it), I just casually ignored them. I'm realising that I'm making urges naturally stronger because I'm scared of them. I'm afraid of urges because they're obviously the things that cause me to relapse, but ironically, if I can manage to pay less attention to them and simply acknowledge the urge but not interact with it, it becomes far less powerful and disappears much quicker. Like today, I was getting urges but I just simply wasn't caring, I was simply noticing that I had an urge and continued with whatever I was doing at the time because I wasn't getting caught up in it, it never got powerful enough to reach the forefront of my mind. However, realistically, it won't be like this every single time I have an urge, I still need to be prepared for urges that do overwhelm me and arrive at the forefront of my mind. But, this was still a really nice feeling, being able to just keep doing what I was doing without the urges hindering me and without stressing out about the urge itself, thus giving the urge much more power.

    Day 4

    Another good day, I'm big chillin', feeling really good. I had a few urges today but again - like yesterday - I was able to focus on what I was doing yet also acknowledging and accepting my urge without judging it, allowing me to basically ignore the urge and disconnect from it. I spent a little too much time playing games with my friends today so I didn't have much time to work out or go out on my usual walk unfortunately and it also made me miss the first half of my usual group meditation session. But it's fine, I meditated on my own after the rest of the session concluded and I went out into my garden for a while so I could get at least some fresh air. I'm not really all that bothered that I missed a few things on my routine today, it happens sometimes, it's no big deal. I'm big chillin' B-)

    Day 5 - Relapsed

    Unfortunately my addiction's voice was very loud today so this time I was finding it extremely difficult to just "accept and ignore it", I was getting a really bad headache all day because of the constant urges that I wasn't able to sit well with at all. I kept noticing that my addiction was trying to convince me and I was able to resist it's allure for some time but eventually I was tricked again. I was getting a LOT of triggers today which kept sticking in my head and accumulating so today wasn't feeling very promising from the beginning. I was trying to combat that "this doesn't feel like a good day, I'm probably gonna relapse" thought loop but it kept popping back up. I went out on a walk with my Mum for a couple of hours and was getting triggered over and over because we were walking by a beach, I was also getting triggered from my friends too because they kept sending nsfw memes in our Discord group.
    The thing that ultimately made me relapse was a very simple mistake on my part which I have no excuse for because it was such an obvious mistake: I needed to go to the toilet so I went with my phone whilst having this really strong urge. Even after I finished going to the toilet I just sat there with my urge feeling stressed because my addiction wouldn't shut up and leave me alone and so eventually I was convinced to relapse. The trick that my addiction used against me this time was actually my therapy, "you've started therapy so it's ok if you relapse now because you'll get better anyways.", I should've distracted myself with games or music or whatever this time because I wasn't able to just ignore it but even then my addiction was blocking that, convincing me it wouldn't work. I need to just ignore any and all thoughts once my urges are that strong, not myself and not my addiction because they tend to merge once the urge is that strong so I struggle to figure out who's talking, and that's how I get tricked. I should just automatically go to the list of distractions that I have prepared instead of trying to think of what to do each time, because its highly likely I'll just be convinced to relapse, if that makes sense.

    I'll do better.
