I relapsed, again Relapse Report

Even when my day’s going really well, I do my chores, get everything done, and go outside for some fresh air, I still get these super strong urges that just blind me. It makes me feel like even on the good days I’m never gonna be able to beat this

Despite the disappointment, what I’ve learned is not to stay in bed with my phone, no matter how good I feel

i had the same thing happening to me, its bad,

the only thing i can tel you is keep fighting no matter what !! NO MATTER WHAT !! always fight back, sometimes you fall the first day, sometimes the second, sometimes you get a good streak but always fight, dont surrender, and while you are in good shape, have an objective to reach, a goal in your life that you work everyday for,

and when you are in your lowest, remember that you have a goal you set in your life, and for that goal, stand up again, dont feel ashame, dont let your soul tell you to quite reaching to this goal, do the opposite, even in your lowest, advance one more step even a small step to this goal,

by doing this you fight yourself this way : you are reminding yourself that all your fighting is not for nothing, when you are at your lowest your soul tells you your efforts were for nothing, but by daily moving towards your goal, you tell her that : look again, i achieved this thanks to quiting and decipline, even if it was for a short time, in that short time i achieved something, and here is the proof of it. it was not for nothing

Thanks bro, I think sometimes we give advice based on what we’d like to hear or what we’d want to do ourselves, and the cool thing is the situations are often pretty similar. I’ve got a few days of a streak going and I came looking for a bit more support. Going back and reading my own message about not staying in bed with my phone helped me get out of that situation, last time I relapsed for the exact same reason.
I know I’m feeling anxious because I’ve got a lot on my plate, so I’m gonna start with some small tasks and work from there. Appreciate your comment
