Learning a skill

I was triggered and wanted to relapse and am still a bit triggered if I think about certain things but it’s reallt helping that I opened an app that’s helping me learn a language instead and it’s getting my brain distracted. I tried calling some friends before that cuz I’m lonely but they couldn’t talk. I’m happy I found something else to do and am enjoying learning.

 

Thanks yes that is a good point. You are right. I haven’t found it a problem so far because it feels like it is just switching my brain into a different mode which helps but yes you are absolutely right. I will work on getting out more. I do have an active job so sometimes I’m resting and having screen time. I have made some good progress and have some accountability and it has been helping and I’ve been going about 2 weeks now without relapse.
