35 and Older Accountability Group

Regarding your girl, I can appreciate how you feel and imagine trying to let it go could be hard as the possibility of it being something (even if it's just her entertaining/enjoying the attention) can lie in the back of your mind so I'm wondering if instead of letting go completely you can set a date to revisit it (like say a few weeks) and see how you feel then and it will give a you chance to reflect later and see how you're getting on
this is really really good advice..i will likely do that..i am pretty sure that is why i am awake right now..that and i have a stressful day at work today.

Thank you for reaching out and being there for me.
 
Day 2.

I have been going back and forth a lot lately, and I'm getting tired of it.

I had a very bad binge a few days a go and it left me with a bad headache that lasted for several days.

The thought of watching P hurts my head right now.

Other than that, my work productivity is fairly ok, and other stuff in my life as well.

I have stopped playing video games since September or so. There are just no games that interest me at all. Also I have started working on my own board game in my free time, which is a lot of fun.

Not gaming has made a massive difference in my life. My productivity has gone up massively.

But then there is still P. I was still doing it 1-3 times a week. Not as bad as it used to be, but it's still bad. The sessions are more intense for reasons I won't go into right now.

It still affects my life negatively. I'm not as social as I could be. I'm not as interested in my wife as I could be. I don't have as much energy as I could have. I could even be more productive.
 
Day 0 again. Two days in a row of relapsing. Main trigger is that I'm sick and not eating well and feeling depressed and coping with MO out of desperation... my aim is to stay clean till Sunday and reflect in the meantime and amend my sobriety plan accordingly
 
Hello all been a while, Good to see some familiar faces still here :)

I'd love to take part in a new Musketeers, really need the motivation right now.

Day 1

Apologies, I'm trying something different right now, probably won't be trying the musketeers again for a bit. Still doing cold turkey, but focusing heavily on diet and exercise... seems to be making things a bit easier atm. :D
 
Okay mate count me in if you decide to make another one.
Same, count me in

@x_Nocturnalis_x @JJ_Kino good to see you all brothers @krazzer @born3 @12ove @Alpha_0007 @Warren of fleabags @Wanttosucceed

How has everyone been and what have you been up to?

I am also trying to work on diet and exercising, get the feeling that better physical conditioning will impact my motivation and ability to push through stress

Had an okay today, got to a SAA meeting, read the green book, studied, abstained from PMO for the most part, and just kept my head down

How was everyone day? Any major challenges that you would benefit from talking about or any victories to share?

I'll leave it at that, but good to see you all

Good morning Sam,

I'm trying to back into the swing of things again, had a shoulder injury recently which has kept me from doing the things I like but slowly getting there.

Nutrition is way off, something that I need to work on as I've gained a lot of weight.

Needing motivation right now as finding it super hard to get a run going, stressful.

How you been? How's everyone doing? Cheers

Hey,

I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder injury and can appreciate your the difficulties that you are experiencing around getting some momentum. Is there anything in particular that is triggering you or creating friction in terms of getting into the swing of things? Perhaps sharing hear can help you uncover some insights. Is there one thing (sleep schedule, eating just one healthy meal a day, going for a short walk that could help jump start things)

I am also in the same boat having trouble maintaining momentum and think that I'm trying to do to much but my tendency is to cut back to much in which case I get bored and anxious and start to look for dopamine... am thinking I need to put searching for a better job on hold and maybe even studying and just focus on getting healthy and working with my father in trading...

Look forward to hearing more on how things unfold on your end
 
Relapsed last night... really struggling to stay with my emotions and start to have panic symptoms and really strong convulsions and muscle tension that seems to knock out my ability to stay present in my body so I start to look for the dopamine hit. Am going to have to white knuckle and use distraction for a while and will practice yoga and do exercise in the mean time to build my body up and give myself a few extra moments to process my intense emotions before they send my body into overdrive and I lose the ability to process....

How is everyone else doing this at the end of this week?
