The Lord of the Rings Challenge

excellent advice. thanks brother

 

hi bro. what do you mean by "marriage release"? please clarify, thank you

 

priority bro. until you put the reboot on top priority in your life, you´ll be stuck in the endless loop of relapses and withdrawals. an addiction is really a serious problem, you got to treat it as such.

 

sis, i know when we´re feeling really low the absolutes "never" and "forever" tend to appear. but any kind of promise or hope we make, tend to create subtle pressure on yourselfs. no matter how hard this may seems, but we can only handle with this day. the pain of today, the urge of today, the boredom of today, etc....

any kind of futurology only works against us.

another thing, the audio you record may seem a good strategy to motivate yourself but you should hear it daily, not just when you´re feeling hesitant.

when we´re feeling hesitant it´s hard to change the focus, we just want the gratification (pmo) to end the pressure and the pain. so by that time it´s like trying to stop a bulldozer with a bicycle.

that´s an important thing i learned about my triggers plan, before there were parts of it that i would only activate if i felt "insecure". the problem is when i felt insecure, it´s hard to change the focus, because the willpower was crippled and on the verge of collapse. so now i put all the components of my triggers plan always active, no matter how i feel. that keeps me safe and also boosts my determination

so whatever you do to keep you motivated and safe, do it daily . makes all the difference.

 

my condolences bro

 

plan you free time bro, and put all temptations at bay. it´s very important, especially when staying home for longs periods of time.

 

checking for day 6 and 7. Uruk-Hai now!!!

sorry for not replying yesterday my friends, but i was stomach sick and with nausea all day. however the addict mind drop in as always and try to bypass the nausea with pmo. luckly my wife hide the laptop battery (part of my triggers plan) so no luck for me. even though i search for it like a damn junkie

today i feel more stable, better from the stomach and glad that i didn´t collapse yesterday. i really felt like a loose cannon for some moments. the reboot is hard in the first weeks, but it´s even harder when we´re sick. that´s why is so important to have a triggers plan always active. we can´t rely only on willpower, it oscilates a lot.
