Thabks for sharing Im not the only one. I wanted to share in case anyone else was feeling ābadlyā when they fpund they couldnt apply whats supposed to be a positive or motivating pump for the day. I feel like things are take or leave, and to each their own but I notice some of these I like but quite a few have this all or nothing toneā¦and its not just take or leave, its problematic because it enforces the all or nothing thinking!!
Hope you find a daily affirmation that suits you

Hey you gotta havw a place to let it the fuck out where you kbow we all get it. Snappy? Sure maybe. Standing up for you also? Saw that too.
You can do this, now think of small shit that needs to change, big shit that gotta go. You can do this & I know right now a big part of you feels like HELL. That part of you will tell you all kinds of shit, please dont listen. Its there, its not going anywherw but how can you care for it? What is that part of you running from? Be good to you Mike. Hang on, and dont stop fighting for yourself. You gotta show your girls what a man/dad is, you gotta show yourself you can be all you want to be and fuck probably more. Thinking of ya bud. Keep your chin up. Xo.

Checking in as I head into day 4. I started meditating again after a 4 year hiatusājust small 5 minute sessions over the last three days. I forgot just how much mindfulness helps to be able to sit with the uncomfortable and the unknownācravings included. I know it hasnāt been long without engaging in my addiction, but Iām feeling a tiny stroke of confidence that Iāve not felt in a long time. This forum has helped so much, too. Be well, everyone!

Last night I didnāt sleep for a single second, not for a lack of trying! Insomnia is a trigger for my impulsive spendingā¦it was mostly stuff I need and will use, I just didnāt need it right now or all at once.
I went out for my lake walk at 7:35am, then when I got home I completed the forms and questionnaires for my ASD assessment, it took 2 hours of non-stop writing, bar a 10min break in the middle. Thankfully, my hand has since stopped hurting.
I managed a short nap earlier this evening which helped my mood somewhat.
I have an in-person meet-up with a facilitator from Safe Soulmates that I havenāt met yet, she facilitates the meet-ups in the city I live closer to. I need to somehow find the motivation and energy to shower beforehand. Although I will see how I feel because Iāve developed a chesty cough and Iām a bit more achey than usualā¦

Before it was very big stones I put together in a beautiful beach of Baltic Sea many years ago. I made sort of towers of stones. 3 or 2 of them as I remember. Those towers was very big. Waves did not washed them down that day. Was almost as tall as me. The biggest stones at the bottom were immovable. Second ones was so big I was unable to lift them so I rolled them up. It tooked about 3-4 hours to build those. People were stopping and doing photos of those towers. Looked quite impressive.

Here I is , checkinā in ā¦
I am way too in love with my new vacuum! Done the house twice already, even did the basement ā¦WTF!
Soooo all my chores are done. Itās an ugly grey chilly day here and I am unmotivated to go for a walk. I know I should, it will be the kick in the ass I need but ā¦ Iām now in lazy mode.
I will settle for puppy and cat snuggles and a lame movie , perhaps a nap 
No cravings for alcohol or sweets anymore. Soup, I am totally craving soup!
So I guess itās just a Meh day.
Hope yours are more exciting, wishing yaāll a Gooder Day

Yes, thatās social media. Not social at all.
The only way is: delete your accounts, delete the apps and live in the real world

Sober day 19.
Been having major cravings most nights. Iām really struggling with life right now. I know alcohol will just add to the problems. But it would quiet my mind for a bit. Sometimes that feels like a fair trade.

Great advice. I never have done social media. It scared me when Amazon advertised on my Gmail an item I had looked at earlier in the day. It really is not healthy to be so completely entwined with technology.
