    Friend,

    Sounds good so far!

    And I can relate, at least on some level. I am not sure if this is how you feel, but this morning I felt a great rush of sensuality. I might even have a lingering sense of it even now.

    This was not a willed mental act; rather, it was most likely a biological, physical action of the body.

    Even so, urges still come none-the-less as a result. There is a medley of vanity, sensuality, & the allure of pleasure all at once...

    As many say on this site: use this energy for good! Engage the will & "sublimate" the energy for something greater.

    You got this!

    God bless,
    A Modern Miroku

  5. Among Us is not for children anymore, which is a good thing, the game is better when there are more older people to play, but I can't control users behavior, sorry for that.

    Stay strong, brother. It gets easier, then harder, then easier. When an urge comes, know that it will intensify, prepare yourself for it to intensify, and then it will disappear.

    Hi! I'm on the same boat! Also looking to reach a month (4 weeks) of sobriety.
    I will try to stay accountable here
    Day Zero as we speak :)

  8. My suggestion is not to think into the future.

    You are putting an expectation on yourself.

    This makes you think you can't do it.

    Put those goals and desires aside.

    Just say, "TODAY, I am going to make it."

    TODAY.

    Forget two weeks, 30 days, a full reboot, or anything else.

    Just today.

    I will do it just today.

    Tomorrow I don't care about.

    Two weeks from now, I don't think about.

    How do I make it from right now, until I go to bed?

    I need to make it from now, until I go to sleep.

    What do I have to do to survive that far without a relapse?

    I need to fortify this time between now and when I sleep.

    That is it. Just put 100% of your energies on making it today.

    Ask yourself this question:

    If I was dropped in a freezing river, how do I survive it?

    You swim like mad to the closest part of the bank, and climb out.

    That is how you survive today.

    A guy about to drown in freezing water isn't worried about tomorrow,
    next week, in 30 days or even tomorrow morning.

    Every bit of his energy is in the swim to the bank,
    that is where you are right now.

    TODAY

    JUST TODAY

    ONE DAY AT A TIME, BRO.

  9. True.
     
  10. Well I failed. The sadness was too much yesterday and I failed to occupy myself.
    As @LOSEmyselftoSAVEmyself said I'll take it one day at a time.

  11. Just today.

    You have to accept that you can't make the whole reboot

    right now.

    But you will make it today.

    Don't get in your head too much.

    Stay busy. Even when you hate it.

    The first 30 days are brutal to every man,

    there's no way around it.

    You will get those first 30, just by doing today.
