journal entries with miles
im not sure how to start so ill just start, im new to this kindof thing so just bare with me.
getting sober is like wanting to know the future but not being able to. On one hand you hope that your sober days continue but on the other hand you are a human being. one that will make mistakes and relapse. if we punish ourselves for our relapses we will never improve. we must accept our mistakes and just make sure that we are sober longer this itme than we were last time. thats all we can ask from ourselves.
@waddmiles Hello there wadd! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us. I hope writing this post helped you out, and do feel free to keep us updated on how you are doing. Relapse can definitely be unpredictable especially under dire circumstances. Embracing one's mistakes is essential for recovery.
Best wishes, and have a lovely week ahead. :)
Im going to try to write here everyday

current streak- 24 hours
quote of the day- "the glass is half full if you just put some in, half empty if you just poured some out, and just a glass if you dont know the answer to the first two." (dont tip your glass)
Neg-
They hired some new guys at work and I dont like them. They follow me around to see how to do my job and talk to me way too much and ask way too personal questions. I get the feeling feeling that my boss is trying to replace me with them but that might just be my paranoia talking. I found out theyre paying the new guys more than me which makes me a little mad. My computer updated today which striggers my schitzophrenia so I had a mild panic attack. Ive had change my class schedule 2 times this semester which is really throwing me off. this whole week was a mess. I had college level agebra and when I went to class they were reviewing quadratics which I've never done and it was suppose to be a review so I totally knew I was in a too difficult class. Im out of schitzophrenia meds which is really messing with my brain. I feel like theres little version of me thats deep down inside of me. And he wants to scream for help but my meds keep him quiet. idk if its ok to use meds to keep it quiet.
Pos-
Im taking two really hard biology classes which I love.
I have some good music to listen to.
I bought a security system for my house which I think will help my paranoia.
I made a too do list on a whiteboard that I hung on my wall.
idk why i do this to myself. 0-0
quote of the day- "dont let me be so vane to think that im the sole author of my success or the victim of my defeats"
i continue to lie to myself about my addiction. i lie about how bad it is. i lie about when i should get sober. i say lies like "one more hit is all" i say things like "lots of people use drugs its ok". i hate myself. i hate the lies that i tell myself. i hate everything.
@waddmiles
I am so sorry to hear that Miles. But I totally understand where you're coming from. Being an attic is a hard thing we hide everything and lied to each other and ourselves. But you coming on here and explaining things and talking is a big step in the right direction. We're here to support you. No judgement here. I am also an addict and I understand that hitting everything in a lying. But I do believe one day it will get better somehow someway. One second at a time one moment at a time one day at a time. That how I get these days but I'm here for you if you ever need anything. We are the hardest on ourselves. I tell people pretend you're telling your story to your best friend would you give them a hug after the story is over. Most likely yes so remember that give yourself a hug you're doing the best you can with what you got ❤️❤️Sending you hugs you're not alone.❤️🙏❤️
Good stuff. Keep up the good work. If nobody said I’m proud of you today then I’m proud of you
Let me warm up a bit its bebebeen a while :P

let me let others love me for who i am not what i have
let me see the end of one path and let me jump to the next
do not let me dwell on paths left behind
but when i am dwelling on paths left behind let me question if they are still open to me
let me find pleasure when my path joins with those that are interesting
let me help those paths as they help mine
let me take the things that i need in life and leave those things that i do not need
let me take the things that i want in life as long as it does not take from others
when i can let me give things from my life to others and lift them up when they have nothing
let me not hope for others to do the same for me because hoping others will help you is only asking for disapointment
do not let me push away help when it is offered because i think i may hurt those that are helping me
let me let other chose to help me and do not argue with their choice to help me when they chose to help me
let me face the pain with a grin of confidence
let me know that i can beat pain to a pulp when needed
if life is a fighter do not let me stand and take the punches
if life is a fighter let me ask them to talk things out
and if life choices to fight anyway let me beat life
if life shows me pain worse than the worst pain ive ever felt before
let me be humbled by the pain and be ready for even worse
let me remember the worst pain ive ever felt and let it fuel my energy to get over the smaller stones in the river that is my life
let me remember the worst day of my life and not hope that it is the worst forever. because if i hope that worse wont come it surely will.
let me be ready for even worse days to come. let me facinated by the random pattern in which they do
do not let me become fixated on the possiblity that those around me cause my worst days
let me understand that pain doesnt come from people but from bad luck
let me understand that pain is not a hinderense but a motivator to become stronger to prepare for even more pain
let me be ready for the same worse day to come and let me be hurt when a even worser day comes
let me bold with my choices even if the doors i want to go through are really really tall up on a cliff to climb
let me recognise the impossible goals to reach and let me try even if failure is almost certain
let me fail at certain things when my plate is full
and let me be happy that i succeded in some and not sad that i didnt succeed in everything
let me be happy and content at the end of the day even if im faking it for those that i love
do not let me take out my pain on others nay dont even let me show it if i know they do not have the energy to help me with it
do not let me hurt others with my burdens if i know my own comping mechanisms are enough
let me know when it is right to ask for help but let me know when it is not
let me know when it is right to take on more onto my plate
but let me know when it is time to pause the actions i go through and take a break
let me know when those around me are seeing my flaws and noticing my struggles even if i did not want them to see
let me work to fix my flaws and struggles without burdening those that are in too much pain to help me
let me be careful with my words when speaking, not to let others know too much and give them the chance to hurt me
let me give others the chance to hurt me when i truely love them and let me hope that they dont choose to hurt me
and let me not blame them if they do hurt me
let me preach my soul when needed but let me stay silent when i know others do not want to listen
let me not focus on loving myself when others need love more than i do
but let me love myself first when others do not need my love more than i do
let me love those that support me but do not let me hate those that choose not to support me
let me enjoy the silence when i can get it but
let me stay calm in the sound of chaos when it comes
let me be the one that supports others in time of chaos
and let me cling onto others when i am not strong enough
let me drown for a second before saving me to teach me when to wear a life jacket
and let me feel the pain of the cold water if it means i get to swim
let me feel the sand between my feet even if i have to feel it alone sometimes
and let me enjoy the breeze in my hair even if the breeze is a sign of the storm to come
let me that give up not as pathetic but as something that i could one day be
and do not let me redicule those that rest if they have supported me in the past
do not let me ever think that i have repaid the support that others have given me
and do not ever let me think that others owe me support for the support i give them
do not let me expect things of overs if they do not expect things from me
and let me not make goals that are met but let me make expectations of myself that are kept
and when i do not meet my own expectations do not let me punish myself but let me realise that my expectations were simply too large
let me not expect too much of others but let me let others know that i need them.
let me hold onto others tightly if they try to leave
but let me find peace when i must face the fact that i must let go of them
let me leave others when i need to and let me feel the pain of guilt for hurting them by leaving
let me leave others that disapoint me before i resort to judgment of them
let me leave those that hurt me before i hurt them back
let me leave those that judge me if their judgments are not valid
but if their judgments are valid let me listen patiently and let me tell them i will do better and let me promise myself that i will do better just the same
let me promise myself that i will get rid of my bad habits even if it may take years
do not let me promise myself that i will do the impossible because that will only lead to self disapointment
let me cry when writing out my struggles and honesty even if it may be the first time ive cried honestly not from pain but from humility
let me cry when i lose those that i love but also let me find peace later and teach others to do the same
let me teach those the pain ive been through not for simpathy but for understanding and sharing of coping mechanism and to let them know that i am an ear if they want to talk
let me teach those the pain ive been through so that they are not afraid to hurt me in the future
let my skin grow tough and hard but let my soul stay soft and kind
let insults wash of my back in the shower but do not hinder me from learning from others anger and rudeness
let my biggest failure be the first thing on my record to show others that i can overcome
do not let my biggest success be the first thing on my record for i dont want other to remember me at my best but at my worst
let my worst be my representation so that i can remember never to do even worse that what i already have
let me remember the worst that has been done to me so that i may avoid worse in the future
let me see the worst in others not to judge them but to protect myself form harm
but do not let me throw away possible love relationships based on the possibility of pain
let me speak words of wisdom to others when i cant speak them to myself
let me lift up other when i need a lift even more than they do
let me hurt myself to help others when it is necessary
but do not let me help those that do not deserve it for helping those that do no reserve help is pointless because they will not accept help
let me realise that it is not my responsability to help stranger and that any amount of help i give to strangers is a posotive even if they do not accept it
let me repeat myself when needed, when others need to respect my words, but do not let me cry if they do not listen for it is their loss
let me whisper to those i love in the dark secrets that only they get to know
do not let me resort to anger if they do not do the same for me
let me let others keep their secrets as long as possible because once secrets are out they cannot be taken back
let me charish the awkward moments between me and my lover because once awkawrd moments become routine they cannot become awkward again
let me hold someone that i love not in a way that is for my pleasure but for theirs
let me focus on those that i love let me focus on making them happy and content but do not let me work to make happiness and contentism come to those that do not love me back
let me undestand that someone loving me can be simple as not hurting me and do not let me assume someone loving me back comes with responsibilities to help me
let me focus on the words that others speak to me but also focus on the intent of the words as they speak if their words intent is negetive and insulting or hurtful let me think of peaceful things as they talk and when they are dont talking let me let them feel heard even if they aim to hurt me but let me forget every word they said
let me laugh in the face of my enemies and let me find their insults funny
let me find the energy that others put to bring me down comical
let me ramble my thoughts when needed in poems about life and lessons
and let me break the fourth wall of my poem when i need a break from thinking
let me continue
let me continue intell my thoughts of negetivity are gone and i realise that my love ones make choices that may hurt me
and let me realise that those choices that hurt me are not choices to hurt me, just choices that happen to hurt me, let me find the diffrence between the two
let me gather up those that i love and take a mental picture
let me charish how the group of people i love change and realise that some day no one will be a original person that i love and when that day comes it will be the worst day of my life
let me fear that day and let me not think about it please
let me not think about the paths in life that have been cut off from me
let me not think about the people that have hurt me the worst and have tried to ruin my path
let me not tempt to hurt those that have hurt my path istead let me cherish those that have paved my path let me share my earnings with them
let me cherish when those i love are around even if i prefered to be alone in that moment
let me cherish my accomplishments even if some may think that they are useless and nothing
let me split my resources to help many istead of using all my resources to help a single person
let me not get to focused one someone who will not help themselves let me realise that if someone will not accept help, then helping then is useless
let me speak fast when i need to but let me calm down when i am done
let me breath slowely to save my breaths when the time comes that i need to panic
let me be in pain so that i can savor the moments when i am not
let me not give out my good secrets to those that do not deserve to know them let me give my good secrets to those that will cherish the feeling of knowing them
let me not give out my bad secrets to those that will judge me for them instead let me give my bad secrets to those that will understand what i was going through when they occured
let me not let others judge me if they do not fully know me. isntead let me say silent as they judge me. let me let them feel heard. and let me let them think i care what they are saying. do not let me argue with them instead let me simply walk away
let me turn around and back track on my path when needed. seeing the mistakes ive made and the accomplishents ive achieved.
let me cherish the things that ive accomplished and do not let me get too focused on the path ahead
let me partake in simple pleasures to increase the capactity to feel calm in my soul but do not let me take part in simple pleasures to fill a hole causded by pain and suffering
do not let me speed run away my days of work instead let me cherish the changes i make to improve myself
do not let me leave behind those that have fallen instead let me wait for them to stab my hands as i try to pick them up
let me wait for others to prove me wrong when i expect good things but do not let me expect them to prove me wrong when i expect good things
let me find disapointment if they stab my hands when i try to pick them up
and do not let me drop them if they do isntead let me calmly set them back down and way onwards without them knowing that i tried
do not ever let me be angry for not doing more i am not resposible for doing too little because any help is enough help
let me see crazy ideas as oppertunities of show others that craziness is a goal to work towards because craziness means bigger earnings
let me not feel shame in losing control of my life isntead let me understand that rock bottom can be comforting and that rock bottom means that you can only improve
let me lose everything at once so that i may build again and find peace in having nothing at one point
let me hit rock bottom again and again and do not let me think that rock bottom erases me past accomplishments
let me find bordem when it comes to me and let me shake it off like a wet dog
let me laugh in the face of those that doubt me and let me not tell them off let me let them have their doubts proving them wrong in the future is enough and if i dont prove them wrong let me respect them for being right but do not let me think that predicted my failure isntead let me realise that they predicted chaos in other words the unpredictable
let me see the best day of my life and let me work to make it the second best day of my life
let me stay in the shadows of those that are better than me when it is needed so that they may also accept praise for their accomplishments
when i live in the shadow of people in front of me let me understand that it is an honor and let me understand that i will one day cast a bigger shadow on those that are behind me and thus it is not the fault of those infront of me for casting their shadows onto me
let me think of the person who has hurt me the most and let me recognise that they also happen to be the person i hate the most. let me break that connection
let me hope good things for those i hate and let my hate disolve with that hope
let me hope that good things come to those i hate and let me hope that those good things are not used to hurt me more
let me respect others belief even if they contradict mine and let me recognise that it is not not job to push my beliefs onto others and let me recognise that it is not my job to change others beliefs
let me educate those taht are negetive respectfully and let me seperate beliefs from personality
do not let me let my beliefs shape my personality intstead let me recognise that my personality is its own entity
let me understand that i can be the personality that i want to be even if it is hard to change into one that i like
let me understand that while change is always possible does not mean that it is always nessasery.
ler me understand that my path still has meaing and if it was time for it to end it already would have
let me see the parts of my path where it becomes thin and almost disapears. when i am weak and come close to losing everything. when i am in pain and struggling and no one care. when i was ready to give up. let me see that in that single moment it was not myself that repaved my path but a group of other. let me be eternally greatful to that group of people
do not let me be so vane to always march foward but remind me to take stops and turn around and shake hands that lifted me up
do not let me be so caught up with those that supported me in the past that i forget about those that support me in the present
do not let me be so vane to think that the people i support are not supporting others
let me be greatful for the web of support that i create by supporting a single person
let me see when it is apropriate to punish those that i have the responsibility over so that they may learn from their mistakes but let me leave punishment as the last means of teaching instead let me teach others how their actions effect people and how their web of negetivity can grow
when i am in pain let me cherish it in a way. when i hit the ground let me taste the dirt. when i get punched let me feel the pain. not to punish me but so that when i see others go through the same pain i can simpathise with them to the full extent
let me hurt myself when i have messed up let me feel the guilt of hurting others so that i can avoid hurting others in the future
never let me think that i am better than others in my life istead let me realise that i just dont know enough about them to apreciate them yet.
let me hurt myself to help others but only when they truely deserve it
let me attempt to balance my support so that those that need it most get it the most
let me help those that need help and never let me reveal to them that i may not like helping them
let me realise that not liking helping someone doesnt make me a bad person
let me realise that my thoughts can be choas that can steer myself from my own path and when that happens, my greatest ally has become my biggest enemy
let me take all my resources and bet them on my path even if it means that my path might dissolve
if my path dissolves let me drift aimlessly for a while and when the time comes if no one is there to help me, let me build another path on my own.
if i do not have the stregnth to build my own path let me ride the path of others intell i can find the ideas that build my own but do not let my riding of others path hurt them stead only let me watch from a distance silently and respectfully
let me respect those that have worked to get where they are even if society doesnt see their work as valid. let me try to make them feel earned and full of riches
let me try to extraordinary in the sense that i will do great things. but do not let me come vain and self loaved. do not let me see myself as better than others instead let me feel respectfully accomplished not for others but for myself.
when i see myself as accomplished do not let it be a marker for the end of my path only a part to remember. let me remember that i can always do more for myself and others
let me do work to help others even if they do not deserve it
do not let me overwork msyelf to the point of failure just let me overwork myself enough that a night of sleep barely gets me ready for the next day
let me sleep peacefull without thoughts of the pain that i have caused others by trying to help those that did not want help
let me forgive myself for not understanding their needs
let me write my thoughts intell my fingers cramp and figurtively bleed so that i can read my own thoughts and rememeber the person i want to be
let me seperate the person i want to be from the person who i am
let me proud of who i am and excited to be the person who i want to be
let me say good things to those that dont need it so that i may say good things to those that do. and let me remember that sometimes you cant tell the diffrence between the two
let me take the risk of trying to help someone over and over again even if they reject my help over and over again
let me work with my hands so that i can respect the days that i work with my brain
let me work as hard as a i can so that i can respect the future days when this hard work pays off
let me not forget my respect for others when the days come where i do not have to work as hard as i do now
let me continuly respect my past self and the sacrafices he has made for me
let me share my secrets with my new loves ones in the hope that they accept me and let me not be sad if they dont
let me share my worst moments with those that i love even if i do just to see if they will leave
let me find peace if they dont leave
let me find peace if they do
let me understand that even if i work my hardest i can still fail and thus failure is not my fault
let me see failure not as a setback but just a turn in my path
never ever let me harm my path in a way that makes it harder for those walking behind me to get to stand where i stand now
when i reach the top of my mountain let me throw down ropes to make it easier for other to climb and let me hopet that those that climb those ropes will carve stairs in the mountain for those behind them to walk on
let me have faith that they will
let me recognise those that hurt me and do not let me think that they know that they are
let me accept those that come back into my life after being gone and let me realise that sometimes people have to leave
let me get rid of old habits that use to bring me joy if they do not anymore. do not let me run on autopilot for autopilot is boring
if i one day meet my idols let me not be suprised if they judge me for they are only suprise that i overpased their accomplishments
do not let me see today as mean and horrible let me understand that today is just jealous that it isnt tommorow

let me find the pain in distance from my loved ones and let it fuel our love for one another when we are back together.

@waddmiles
i like this
day 1 of getting back on the horse.
i dont know what to type about so what do you want to hear from me? what do you want to ask miles watts? ask me anything
@waddmiles
How do you make your self to work purposefully, when the mind resists the same through layers of demotivation !
How do you make others feel comfortable when you are just getting to know them?
@waddmiles
I agree on miles, punishing ourselves is not always the option. You gotta be patient with yourself!
