I did the same thing 66 days ago after 90 days.
I’ve reset too many times to count, but each time it gets easier and longer.
Hang in there and keep trying!!!

I’m reading a murder mystery called Wife of the Gods, the first in a series by Kewi Quartey. It’s just a change of pace from my typical Sci-Fi and self-help books.
Day three ticking on by. I feel like a loser. I feel on edge. I feel disappointed in myself. I feel I can do nothing right. Can’t wait until this day passes.

Almost done day 51, @TeejLazer I used to listen to type o negative, October rust was my favourite album .!
@Sassenach hey, I have got to that ‘edgey’ point before and heard my head going faster and faster trying to edge me over to go fuck it and pick up some cans when I was driving home from work,I stopped at a shop but I sat tight in the car with engine still running trying to hear my good voice to reason with the thoughts to buy alcohol,as soon as I heard that good voice I drove home,ate quickly and got myself straight into bed…safe and sober 
… the good voice speaks over the bad chatter… keep in touch with your Self and that higher voice

@Fargesia_murielae it is hard to not have a space u feel comfortable. Is there anything u can do to make ur house feel more like a home? Or will it just take time? All the best for ur time out, hope u feel comfortable and like urself soon.
@AnonymousD the fear and guilt and regret totally suck. Been there. Hugs.
Day 97
Heard from a few people in a few different areas of my life about Brene Brown, and liked her vulnerability ted talk. For my 100 days celebration was thinking of buying one of her books. The gifts of imperfection sounds like it might be a good fit for me.

Yes to Brene Brown’s work! Daring Greatly and Rising Strong are wonderful and build on her previous foundational books, including the gifts of imperfection. I recommend these two books in particular. Did you know she has a brand new podcast?! So good!
P.S. I got so excited about BB I forgot to say happy early 100 days, how freaking exciting is that?!?

@GVLNative @Hazy Thank you both so much, the support of this community is amazing. It really helps to know we’re not alone in this & I appreciate you both taking the time to share your own experiences with me. If I ever get the urge again, I know I just have to come post here instead and talk to all of you.
Have a great night.
