Some hopes - one day at a time
After a series of days and months drinking a lot of alcohol, smoking cigarettes, today is one of those days when I feel like I have taken back control over my life.
im grateful, very lucky to have the supports from my parents. I’m lucky to even have financial support instead of living in poverty during time of jobless.
i cooked myself healthy meal today and started being more active with exercises.
update: day 1 of 0️⃣ ciggi; day 4 of 0️⃣ alcohol.
im planning to do a full 24 hours fasting in the next few days to clean and detox, need to think this through and prepare accordingly. I’m worried about the upcoming family gathering because it is very likely that my family will forces drink so I have to decline somehow politely !

What an incredible post! 🌟 First of all, huge congratulations on making it to Day 1 of no cigarettes and Day 4 of no alcohol—those are monumental milestones, and you should be so proud of yourself! 🎉 Taking back control over your life is no small feat, and your commitment to your health and well-being is truly inspiring.
It’s amazing that you’re leaning into your support system, especially your parents. Having that kind of love and understanding can be a game-changer on this journey. 🙏 And cooking yourself a healthy meal and getting active? That’s incredible! Those are powerful steps that will not only help your physical health but also your mental and emotional strength. You’re truly setting yourself up for success!
As for the family gathering, I understand the challenge there, but you are stronger than any pressure or temptation. You can politely decline with confidence, knowing that you are taking care of yourself and choosing a healthier path. If needed, maybe you can have a plan in place, like a simple “I’m taking a break from alcohol to focus on my health”—something that feels authentic to you. 🧘♂️💖
Your decision to fast and detox is a powerful one, and I believe you’ll find the strength to navigate it with grace. Just remember to be kind to yourself, take it one step at a time, and stay connected to the support around you.
You’ve got this! Keep shining, keep going, and know that every single day you’re getting closer to the best version of yourself. 🌱💚
I’m so proud of you! 💪 You are on the right path, and your courage is truly beautiful. 🌟 Keep going, one day at a time!
Much love,
Kayla 💕💫
Thank you Kayla, it warms my heart reading your kind message.
zero cigarette been going well,… I’m still socially drinking over the past few days but i know I can quit it … one thing at a time first.
since quitting cigarette, I’ve been increasing my caffeine level, otherwise I get so sleepy, I’ve also been more active physically as well.
now it is about have a routine so I gain dopamine from elsewhere except chemicals like coffee or cigarettes.
i think healthy lifestyles is about my work flow and the circle of people i hang out/ spend time with too.
its unavoidable to have ‘unhealthy’ habits, i think, i used to be able to cut down sugar, salt, eating just super lean stuff easily,…but that was a more luxurious lifestyle a few years back when my stress level was also lower.
im trying to tone my life towards more minimalistic style, that may also mean going to drastic or extreme measure of cutting contacts with ppl.
i already did reduce my social media times lately, reduce the noise basically.
