Flashback problems

Yes the flashbacks, they be there less and less over time. They're a sign of recovery.

 

In my personal opinion, flashbacks are always positive. The memories have to go somewhere right? So it makes sense for them to come to from the depths of your subconscious mind to the surface of your conscious mind. The alternative is that they lay dormant in the recesses of your mind waiting to be accessed. Allow them to pass through without judgement and with time they should stop occurring altogether.

 

same as you I am on my day 18, and it happened to me a lot almost every night I went to sleep, I usually try to stop thinking about it, which makes me exhausted the next morning, I believe in my case it is caused by lack of daily activities especially the physical activities

 

The best method is dealing with flashback is to aware and prevent it, by distracting your mind on other things. But probably you were already swimming in them, when you wrote this post.

Obviously you see an importance in them, if you even devoted the thread for them. It is the problem in you, not in the flashbacks. Not the flashbacks are so intrusive, but you are keeping be aroused by them. You are doing them a service, by paying attention to them.

Are not you going to return to old lifestyle? So live in the present, forgot the past, like a bad dream. Forget about them. Stop peek at them. It is easy to say, but it is even easier to do, because you are able to control your mind. Now when this nasty thought will pop in your head, you will just block and forget it, just like a stupid ad banner. If you saw piece of poop on the street, will you recall it like the problem? No, you will just forget it. So just forget these flashbacks, like you did with a poop, and you will be stay sober minded.

Now, you can forgot about this thread and continue your journey. Good luck!
