Starting a 90 challenge today

I just found an article in the times and i ended up here, similar situation to you, i've tried but never had a support system. it'll be hard but definitely worth it, see you at the finish line, and ill be shoulder to shoulder with you the whole time.

 

Hi Guys! Great to see your post on here. I just signed up today. I made a conscious decision to stop P and M (mainly M) since yesterday, this is my 2nd day. I've been addicted to M for more than 10 years now. It's destroyed my life in many ways. I like to go on atleast a 90 day stretch to begin with. Are you guys doing any kind of accountability group thing..?

 

Glad to see this challenge. Just signed up today. I've been working on my own and abstaining for the past month, but I could feel my resolve crumbling today. I'll stick with you guys and go for the 90-days from today. Thanks!

 

i got invited to one and functions through an app called kik, or we can create our own through kik, im currently without a phone till friday so i cant set it up till then so hang in there and we can get each other through the weekend.

 

Best wish for you! Play more sport and don't stay alone in your room so much.

 

Rough night last night. High stress and ended up getting into some slippery-slope behavior. Looking at things that were a little too...suggestive. Felt terrible this morning. Confessed to my wife and she expressed her disappointment, then forgave me and encouraged me to keep trying. I am so thankful for her support and patience. Will do better today!

 

That sounds like a great idea! I'm up for a kik group or even a whatapp group. Let me know, it will be a great help!

Stay strong!! Good luck today.

Stay

 

I think we would have to sign up ($10) for premium access to use the accountability group here. We can definitely go for a one of the free apps like kik.

 

Well, that didn't last long, did it? I feel like such a *%&! idiot.

How does that old song go? "...just like starting over."

 

Hey tomorrow is a new day! Stay strong..What usually triggers you?

 

Mostly the typical HALT triggers (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired). I can add Stress to that list. My family is getting ready to leave for their annual summer vacation. My works schedule doesn't allow me to go, so I'm facing a few weeks of being alone. Worst part of my year. My guess is this is what started triggering me.

 

I can understand. Mine are mostly Angry, lonely, sad, anxious or too much free time. Being alone definitely makes it more hard - maybe you can plan things in advance to keep you super busy when you are alone those weeks so you have less time to battle with your triggers.
