I would definitely try and tone it down if I were you. Once you get addicted to something on your phone, you’ll be fucked. I get addicted to almost everything that’s omline. Online Shit’s usually designed to be addictive and once you’re very susceptible to it, it’s hard to moderate.

I have 300 days, I should be happy, but I’m really fucking annoyed with myself. I tell myself that I’m going to do something, like homework or yoga or meditation and then I don’t. When I get great advice, I always want to use it, but something inside my head won’t let me. There’s this constant fight in my head that’s been going on for ages and I’ve only realised it last night.
And I’m completely fucking up homework. The amount of work I’ve still got to do is huge, but I simply can’t do it for longer than an hour. God knows I’m trying. I hope I’ll cheer up today. It’s still morning here, so there’s still plenty of potential for improvement

Whoop whoop, 300 days!!! YAY!!! Well done young man! 
I know that resisting thing in my head. It’s pretty common but I guess you know that too. I’m learning to by-pass it in different ways. Simply ignoring it or tricking it into it anyway 
It’s a sneaky thing that wants instant gratification.
Are you taking breaks of 10-15 minutes while doing homework? I couldn’t focus properly much longer than you on my glory days 
but taking a break every hour allowed me to finish everything.

Congratulations with your 300 days Jan
Milestones are tricky days sometimes, at least for me. I like them, but I hate them too. They make me like emotional unbalenced. Maybe that is you’re case too? And about the homework and other stuff you would like to do. Maybe your list of “to do” things is to long? When my list is too long I think fuck it and I do nothing at all 
But when I have only one thing it’s something I can do ✓

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 23
And I have no idea if I remembered to check in yesterday, that day was really busy.
Still can’t sleep properly, so I started yesterday with oversleeping only a few minutes, like 10 but enough to get me out of phase. Stressful morning, both t kids had sport’s class,and a lot to carry to school. I had class all day, we got our exam. I picked the boys up from after school club, the 8 y/o had a field trip to the woods so they got delayed. Home, helping the kids with homework, make some dinner the 10 y/o wasn’t happy about anything and he’s autistic so when he have days like that it just becomes chaos. Finally we had the time to relax and watch Halloweentown 3.
Hopefully today is a better day, morning started just like it was supposed to. Almost, except the little issue with the 8 y/o bike. The after school club have bike days for three days, so they had to have their bikes today. There was almost no air in one of his wheels and I couldn’t find things to fix it. Hopefully the after school club can.
Boys are picked up at 16.00, home for a quick snack and after that they are going to the Scouts.
I’m supposed to start writing on my exam. Problem is that I’ve got plenty if time to do it, so I don’t. Gonna try to focus in a bit, so I at least get half of it done today.
Also I decided to focus some more and go a little deeper in to the magic/witchcraft thing. I already know a lot that comes with our traditions and heritage, and I’ve been thinking of developing it for years. I just haven’t been sober enough to actually do it. But now I am, and now I’ve got the time. I ain’t going to join wicca, dedicate my life to Hekate or anything like that. Gods aren’t my thing I only believe in my own powers and the magic within, would never join a coven I do things my way. But there’s so much left to explore. And it seems to be more mainstream nowdays so it’s the perfect timing as well.
Now I need to write on my exam.
Wishing y’all a wonderful day

Be proud and happy with your 300 days Jan! Gefeliciteerd man. And break up your tasks. 1 hour of homework is long and good. Take a break for 10 or 15 minutes and do another hour. You can do this.

Sorry to hear about your parents, Kevin. I wish you and them well, in terms of strength, healing, love, positivity and courage, which I actually have no doubt you have and know you possess. You will hear the word “luckily” or something like it, you will

I’ve been obsessively checking in, too. Maybe this is the way our brains work? Anyway, this place is so helpful. Like, today I realized I’ll hit 90 days on Thanksgiving. Now, more than 2 months out, I’m wondering if I should mark the moment with wine at dinner. Scrolled through here to find out abour that and came upon an early post about your planned relapse @Dazercat. The comments were so enlightening. Now im planning NOT to drink, though I’m still planning. How sick is that?
