Day 5 of 21 done

 

Day 15. fingers crossed

 

relapse reset

 

Day 1 done! Wow, I felt some intense urges this morning. Like a huge wave that washed over me. No idea how I swam through it. In fact I think I am still swimming!
Feels like I am hour by hour at the moment.

 

I caved. 6 days from my goal, and i caved! Am dissapointed in myself. But i will get through.
Day 0

 

Me too bro
I am honestly amazed at how much of a hold this thing has. My 'sneaky brain' started to lead me astray, and I just didn't stop it this time. I thought that I was stronger than that!
Still, 11 days was my longest recent streak, after managing 7 days about a month ago.
Not going back to the 3 day or 7 day challenge again. Want to keep building! All time best is 19 days. 21 days it is!

Let's do this together mate. We can do it!

 

let's keep going strong fellas, I had to start over 2day as well

Day 4 of 21!!!!

 

Thanks. Glad to know this helped in some way.

 

I'd be happy to do this along with you. I'm at 23 days now and will look for the next longer challenge forum to join. However I believe that we're all in this together and so it really doesn't matter which forum in the end you are in. It matters that we are here for each other.

I'd like to share a thought. I learned from Emotional Intelligence reading many years ago that no matter what happens to us we ultimately make the choice - in anything. It doesn't matter what happens to us - it is our choice and reaction to it. So in the early stages (and I'm sure it will come again) I felt that desire to dip back. To take a look. To read something. Just to flirt with it. What I knew in those moments was I was personally beginning to make a different choice. I can tell you that I've hit the panic button 4 times and man was that worthwhile. We just have to keep choosing the longer term goal rather than the instant gratification. That's not the decision that we may "like" or "want" in the moment but I believe it is the decision we will "love" and admire ourselves for once we get through that addictive wave.

 

Days 4,5 done
Day 6 almost

 

Day 5.

 

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Sorry that your previous inspiration only got me through one extra day!

That is really interesting. I am just beginning to realise that myself. Also currently reading 'The Art of Happiness' with the Dalai Lama, which is all about that. How we feel is a choice. You can choose to be happy, or sad! Plus to get better at it you can train and practice. I think that is very transferrable to what is going on here.

This is a key thing that they also talk about. I am still in the early stages of the book. Need to pick it up and carry on reading it!

Thanks again for the support! It all feels less daunting now than it did before, which is so weird.
Which challenge are you moving on to next?

 

Thanks for this. I really needed it. I was feeling like flirting with it and i decided to just come here and read people's posts as a way to encourage myself to keep on going. Thanks. I'll keep that panic button in mind I've always assumed it.
