One common repeated mistake

I know where your coming from, I myself have insomnia . The best thing we can do is to put that extra energy we have into something else until we feel the need to fall asleep . All these additional thoughts,feelings,energy's,etc. are all part of the program, we just have to focus & fight through !

 

Well, at least, it shows that your mind is alive.

I think you should be happy for that.

Because, as for me, since I suffer from schizophrenia, I have very few thoughts, and it's boring...

 

Yellow flowers, I think you raise a very important issue here. Restlessness, brain fog, lack of focus are however temporary effects of de-addiction. In fact, if these things are happening, it means that your mind is healing as old synapses are being broken and new ones are being created. I don't know how far this is true as a general fact but it is definitely true for me. Changes in my behaviour are clearly visible. So far, I have definitely had continuous 3-4 days of lack of focus during my streak every now and then. But in retrospect, I can say with confidence that out of my 82 days, there were 20-25 days of lack of sleep, lack of focus, etc. That is 60 days of mental freedom!!! Totally worth it. I believe urges are simply triggered sometimes by the kind of people we hang out with occasionally, or by watching a love scene in a romantic movie, etc. which extend for about 2-4 days. But if we hang in there, we will definitely get out of it. So yeah. What you are doing is perfect. I do suggest an occasional trip to the resort with family to cool it off.
Peace

 

Love the mindset there. Don't focus on the bad days. I know that if I PMO, I am always in a mental fog during it. I may have foggy days as I fight this addiction, but it will always be less than if I continued to PMO.
