Today is a new day
Sooo everyone, wish me (and my hubs) good luck. We both struggle with addiction with all the things lol. Today is day 1. Again. It’s been almost a year since a day 1. I really need it. My marriage (to my soul mate, I swear) is hanging by a thread. It's one of the last important things I have left and I won’t let addiction snip that thread. Send positive vibes!
@BeautifulCurse congratulations. Remember to give yourself some grace because if you get caught up on not being perfect you will set a bar that's unreachable. Sometimes the trick is to go smaller with the goal they say one day at a time but at times it takes one hour at a time, one minute at a time. That's what worked for me anyways. I was addicted to opiates for 5 years and that's what it took because I have a habit at looking at the finish line even if I'm at the starting line and the finish line would look overwhelming and unreachable so smaller increments let me have little victories which motivated me to keep going to the finish line it's been a little over 5 years clean now. You got this
Very good, all of it. I’m distracting myself with online shopping 😆
@BeautifulCurse hey whatever it takes. You know why you like shopping because it gives you the same dopamine hit that you get from whatever you're addiction is. It's just the reward center in your brain associating that with a positive. Be careful though could easily become another addiction
