Morning Check In
Day 78
Well today is a better day so far! No urges to use which is good! I have been slacking alot at the gym tho, but I have been very tired lately, so idk maybe my body needs rest.
I spent a total of about 2 min on FB yesterday. AND⌠it was actually very nice! I really think FB doesnât add anything of value to my life. I only use FB messenger to keep in contact with family in Manitoba and Alabama, thats it. I was able to accomplish more without being on it too!
I guess not much else is going on! Nice day here. Will go for a smudge soon and do my prayers. Then begin my day!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Checking in at day 7 just trying to try and think positive and saying the rosary every morning to get my mind off of my fâd up life and all the destruction Iâve caused and legal issues over every long period of relapse and now facing another. Iâm scared shitless and nervous and anxious and sorrowful and just mentally exhausted of the man in the mirror being the most fâd up person Iâve ever known .

Hey guys. I am very sad to tell that I relapsed today.
I am a little dissappointed and also felt digust at some point. It happened earlier in the day. I did not binge like before for 6-8 hours. This was close to 2 hours.
Now I am doing okay.
I think I gave in a bit easy as there was no intense urges in the moment. And that is what bothers me a bit.
My mindset about urges have changed during this streak. I feel that my fear of urges has decreased and I started to see them as a growth opportunity.
On nofap, I felt that my confidence has gone up and I feel more ambitious, motivated and driven. I intend to live my life fully sober and leave p*rn forever. I am not there yet but I will be free of that 1 day.
I downloaded the power of now at the start of this streak. I will be reading that and trying to meditate more.
Again guys, thanks for your support. I am really grateful to be here, you guys make my life better.
So lets get this going - day 0

Second check in on day 1061. In the end my manager gave me all the paid leave I have as time off. I have just six days of work for my current employer left, followed by two weeks off, and then start my new job June 1.
Suddenly itâs all very real and close. Also she offered me another job, quite a nice one I think, if I donât like the one I just signed up for. Gave me quite the ego boost. But also brings up some interesting conflicting thoughts up inside me. Am I doing right by leaving my employer? Why didnât she make this offer to me before? Should I have asked?
I know Iâm doing the right thing even if this turns out not to be the right thing. My life is moving. Exciting times. Scary times too. Life is scary at times. Canât hide in my shell forever. I came out of my shell by becoming sober and clean. I am in recovery. Iâm going places. One day at a time.

Thank you Dana. I am still overall a bit tired and rest a lot which is okay as I am still at home after/with Covid.

Have a nice day and think about your rest and relaxation moments. FB is also to me no longer of any value. Iâm on it less and less. Maybe even better, I canât be found by certain people I prefer to stay out of sightđ
Well said. I think you made the right decision regarding your job. You just follow your dreams and thatâs a good thing. That makes you move forward and your life is in motion. New challenges can always be exciting but thatâs just normal and once through them youâll be glad you chose something youâve been thinking about for a long time. Youâve made the decision and your old employer has apparently been very pleased with you. You can use that for references in the future or in the worst case if your new job turns out differently. But Iâm sure it will be fine!
