I love this forum and you guys/girls. This is really encouraging to have people to share and to help in this situation and especially in covid. Thank you. Hope everyone is okay Day 20 check in. One of the thing I got ta learn to quit is to "eat" my mouth/lips on the inside, kind of taking more and more places in my head when i'm studying. Sometimes, instead of taking 3h straight of studies, I cut it in 30 mins parts with 5 mins of exercices/eating/walking/drinking. It makes it less difficult to lose myself in the process of studying, and because I'm on the computer all the time: sometime the urges comes real fast. So, I'll try to set a timer to make 30 mins straight without looking and then, 5 mins breaks before restarting, I'll see how it goes in concerns of the urges.
It hasn't been going to well with me not even being able to sleep without sleeping pills and PMOing to try and escape the grief. But I know it will get easier with time.
Thanks bro for keeping me in mind and your prayers. I really appreciate it. These are tough times but if I know with the passage of time I will cope much better with grief and become stronger
in this holly month of my religion.. the urge is almost at 0%. i guess fasting greatly improve my streak right know im fighting with mobile phone addiction the one who greatly changed my life and have been the no 1 cause of my relapse.. yeps its almost all stared with smartphone. so i hope with a little bit discipline at june i will be free from this phone addict my strategies are : -disable all the not so important social media like twitter, instagram and facebook - delete my browser hope it works stay strong fellow mando
Day 2 It has been a calm day thus far. Took a long ride with my bicycle and communed with nature. I have decided to set small milestones once again to allow me gather momentum.
Day 23 Yes coding, yes drawing, no sugar, no excuses No sugar thing is critical for me at the moment. I'm doing the right thing, I studied for 2 hours, cooked dinner, did drawing, talked with a good friend of mine. I just felt accomplished. You don't always have to run for accomplishments. If you take your time like a turtle, your motion doesn't change that fast all of a sudden. That's what I realized. Mindset check; You won't do an amazing job at first. But embrace the progress you will see everyday and have fun with it!
are u draw like digital drawing sister? what kind of drawing do you do ? like anime things or engineering drawing or else ?
Yeah I hope the HALT thing helps. Pretty basic, and I think we know already that we're more susceptible to temptation at those times, but it's good to have it spelled out.
Thanks so much Unhommebinsoft! I also firmly agree with the meme, although having a picture of that particular person is curious (if it's who I think it is)
Day 3 The day has begun relatively calm. I have decided that I will do the Recovery Nation workshop once again but this time more slowly and deliberately to absorb the material. I am not about to give in to PMO and escalate depression. I have also begun reading my bible again and praying more fervently.
Day 4 Mini-target of 4 days achieved! Next target is 6 days. Smaller targets seem to trick my mind that the journey is a very short one..hehe. It has reduced the anxiety of relapse. Let's see how it goes.
