Stage 6: 91-140 Day challenge [27M]

Day 34:
Started back with Gym. Had a partial productive day & partial lazy day.

Day 35:
Relapsed, slow lazy day. Need to be real vigilant for next 30 days.

  • Addiction narrows the things that give pleasure.

  • No matter how far you go, relapse is always by your side. (No matter how far you drive you are always the same distance away from the ditch - things will get worse before they get better, but even after they get better the vigilance should never go away)

If they are giving you more work than others then talk about it to the manager. Relocate task between other team members, you deserve free time.

Manager is the problem

Get close to him, and then get your ways out like a friend. Tell him boldly, that you want him to get promoted so that you can take his place. Itā€™s a double sword but If it works, then you will have time. (And donā€™t forget to give me a cut for the advice) :sunglasses:

Day 47:
I have been relapsing,since the start of this thing & have not been able to go beyond 2 week point. I continued this day count irrespective, the idea was to reflect on my days & this journey that I wanted to get over with. I stopped my 12 day task thing, when it came to the point where I had to disclose about what Iā€™m struggling with to near one. I couldnā€™t, I did try to steer the conversation there with 2 people but just couldnā€™t tell them that how fucking piece of shit I am & on my own accord. Iā€™m probably the creepy awkward person people usually talk about behind there back, it just that my reality is hidden from them or so I kinda believe. But things like this kinda have a vibe, and I know it is evident when a person acts abnormal. I have seen it very closely, & I have turned into the same person. I know that people close to me already know that Iā€™m not to be trusted & that I feel trash & act like trash sometimes. I relapsed yesterday & yesterday I had a clear choice to do it or not to. I had a pause, a minute to reflect on where this is heading & I still chose the wrong path. I still chose a miserable me over a recovering & fighting me. I still choose to broke the promises I made to myself & I keep breaking the ones that I make to others. Iā€™m not guilty Iā€™m angry that why I am like this. I break my own rules, I stay awake yesterday binge watching a series, the series was good. But then it got over late at night & I had an urge, that I very well rode on, onto the very end, a dead end. I have been struggling with this thing for 14 years, the first 3-4 years I donā€™t think I even realised that it was a problem. But i think I was always ashamed of it from the very start. It became major problem when I seriously wanted to get over it around 2-3 years back but couldnā€™t. Iā€™m inconsistent, Iā€™m unexpresive, Iā€™m not reliable, Iā€™m always forgetful, Iā€™m at times irritable, Iā€™m right now sorry for everyone who has to deal with me. If I could swing a mafic wand & get rid of it, I would without a second thought, but Iā€™m just unable to.

Day 51:
Work is still taking most of my day & I donā€™t like that at all. However right now I was thinking about how imperfect our life looks simply because we are looking it up close whereas everyone else seems so well put up together. But maybe they are struggling as well, maybe more than what we can handle, maybe they are also trying to live & fail to do so on many days. How unfair comparison is this, how untouched we are of otherā€™s sorrows.
