Are you going to plant them or will they wither in this glass?

It looks definitely really interesting. :+1:t2:

To me, EMDR has saved me. I could not control my self hate. I thought I was a worthless human being. A first tier piece of shit.
I had less than 10 sessions and I feel little self hate. And I can often get rid of it by looking at things Iā€™m doing right.
I really hope EMDR will have a similar effect on you with the symptoms of your trauma. But for some it works better than for others though.

1044 days without gaming
0 days without technology abuse

I went 16 days without abusing both Netflix and YouTube. Thatā€™s a great achievement for me. But podcasts were abused during that time which inevitably led to my relapse in YouTube which led to a relapse in Netflix. But that has happened before. And Iā€™ve been aware of this before.

I know what addiction feels like when it happens. My new goal is to quit whatever Iā€™m doing once I feel that obsession. Because that obsession occurs when I want to avoid something.
I will face that which Iā€™m avoiding head on to find out what it is. Then I will work with my therapist to get rid of that issue.

You can do this. Start again, and concentrate on not using just TODAY. One day at a time (or one hour, minuteā€¦ whatever works).

76 days AF
57 days toxfree and cleaning up

Checking inā€¦
Soon I will reach 90 days Milestone. Wow!
Never trusted I would be able to do thatā€¦
Today, I can trust myself again!
I managed several overwhelming emotionsā€¦
Evenings with cravings, conflicts in jobā€¦ Sober.
I feel strong.
Knowing about the devil behind next corner.
But I feel such a great development in personality, view and opinion on myself, other people and the world. I feel nourished with love, coming deep from inside myself. I feel independent! :muscle:t2::heartpulse:

:pray:t2:

Without TS i wouldnā€™t have managed it until hereā€¦ Thank you guys and girls. :heartpulse:

Itā€™s getting more concrete to change my job.
I will find decision if I will do it or not on the weekendā€¦ And clarify some points and details of the contract on Monday.

My life changes rapidly at the moment.

Joined a new yoga studio yesterday and I will start with a weekly 90 minute class. The atmosphere was sooo friendly and peaceful and yoga with a teacher will guide me further steps on my Yoga way, Iā€™ve been going for 10 years.

I have eaten :rofl::innocent:
Will have a nap now :panda_face:
And swim workout later :swimming_woman:t2:

Sending love, hugs, whatever you needā€¦
Take care and stay sober :v:t2::heartpulse::heartpulse::heartpulse:

Huye congratulations on 7 whole months!!! You have worked incredibly hard to get here! I love what you said here:

Absolutely! This is huge for me. Sometimes not doing anything while in a ā€œfunkā€ is actually worse for me. When i get really depressed or down on myself, i find little tasks to be very rewarding and make me feel good! It sort of ends up being a snowball effect to where once i start doing things i end up doing more little tasks which pull me out of my funk. And being outside. I always promise myself to at least get outside once during the day on the days where i feel really crappy. Sometimes the healtht stuff i dont want to do, is what i need to do to feel better.
Im really really proud of you! Im glad that ur here and sharing this milestone with us :slight_smile:

Day 234
Still no voice :frowning: awe i miss talking lol I feel basically fine otherwise tho. Not up for exercising yet or doing anything strenuous but im getting there. What matters is that my son is much better :blue_heart: I seriously dont have much to do today. I am going to go outside for a walk shortly, wash up the bedding, vacuum, just do somd light cleaning. I always feel better when my environment is clean and organized. It really impacts me when things are out of place and need to be cleaned. I guess thats it for today.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Hugs TS fam!

Congrats on double digits. Those first ten days were so hard for me, I felt such a relief when I had gotten over that hump.

Checking in on day 5
The latest abuse of alcohol made me sick, I have a gastritis. Didnā€™t feel that weak and sick in ages, but thatā€™s what you get if you consume poison right?
I take medicine now and will rest, itā€™ll get better. Made me chicken soup and watch Disney plus.
And I wonā€™t change that for the next days :wink:
Take care of your body friends, you only have one!
