Successful resolution for me so far !!!

Hey everybody , im grateful to be still sober. Yah..the first few weeks are the toughest ,but its still long way to go.
I wish i can share what i have learned so far so i can make your streak more successful .
First of all you need a strong will to control your mind.Especially this is crucual in the first few weeks . To set better your mind ,start your streak on a important for you date ,so it will give you less chance to relapse in the very beginning .
You must have the ability to say ,,no'' to the urges ,and to divert your mind immediately from triggers you spot. Otherwise you are stepping on a slipery ground and its more likely for you to fall.
Another trick i use when my mind is so week is taking mild sleeping pills when i struggle in bed . Instead of waiting in bed to get sleepy ,which sometimes doesnt happen for 2 hours or more ,i take the pills and i wait 30 min watching comedy movie or playing a game on my phone . After 30 min i clearly get sleepy and i fall asleep within 5 min .I tried this trick every day ,but it was unsuccessful ....maybe becouse you still need strong will.

Anyway...good luck to all and keep the faith

 

Hey there !!..Thank you for your post..I had my first streak of 30 days in 2012...after 21 years of unability to go over 20 days....so i was really proud to reach 30 days.... i was thinking then how to reach more days...it seemed imposible by that time to me......so i made a decision and asked for a friend to work with me as a chef de partie. We shared a room and it was embarasing if you want to M so i didnt which help me to make a streak of 60 day .After that i moved jobs and i relapsed next few days.

 

wow...197 days is more than half year. Im sure you have the will power needed ,and proper technics ,all you need is motivation and you can find it by choosing a proper date....choose now a date you like ,but give yourself a few weeks.,so you can set your mind without pressure.You can make it. Just do it

 

Hi Guys...time for update .... moving up is so slow...grrr...but actually im happy now ,becouse im past that first 2 weeks that are so tough. Urges are much weaker now ...and all it takes is concentration and diverting your mind on hard moment when they strike.
Very helpful for me is going to bed early and waking up early . Also daily phisical activity makes everything smooth
Keep the faith

 

Hey congrats man on your streak !! Keep going & keep inspiring!!
