Day 11: vacation is going well. When I get back to school. I’m gonna live life good and get all A’s. I want to stop socially isolating myself but making new friends is hard. Isolation has caused addiction and relapse in the past for me. Luckily I’ve kept most of my highschool friends but that’s all I have. I haven’t made a friend since 2019.

I too felt the same like i dont know how to make friends
But when i went to my class on the first day
I was just sitting there
And there were few people behind me
I didnt know them
And i dont knw how out of nowhere
I turn back and tell
Hello everyone
My name is darshan
Nice to meet u all
May i know ur names

Now when i think about it i think how did i do that
One of those guys became my best buddy and he told me that he was shocked with tbe way i spoke to them for the first time

So dont think much
Many times we restrict ourselves because of overthinking

Well it’s only after a period of time you come to know how much of a best friend they are.

And it’s good if you know each other for years.

I had a bad experience, so it’s like I am showing the other side but everyone’s experiences are different.

Don’t want to spread negativity here so that @Toby don’t get demotivated unnecessarily.

I’m bringing back Toby’s Diary!

I’m currently on Day 11 of no ■■■■. I’m glad to be back here and I’m getting back into good habits. Before this current streak, I would go 1 week clean, relapse, and repeat up until now when I’m taking this streak seriously. I have made it through the semester with a 3.0 which I could’ve gotten higher but with my addictions, I’m grateful I got that score. I have been working out more and I intend to make this lifelong with my current routine and electronic setup. I have quit YouTube as well as Instagram. I will reach my first month in 19 days. Luckily I have made a friend recently. I will study math for 3 hours, Spanish for 2 hours, guitar for 2, and workout for 1 hour. I also hope to clean some of my house

Good luck friends!

My streak ended :slightly_frowning_face: I am making another day 0 post. I’m done using my phone for entertainment. My relapse was influenced by me spending all my day in bed with my phone. I need to get out of the house more and have a strict schedule and discipline. I will become superhuman after this lapse in judgment—time to get great grades, great friends, great workouts without skipping, and great habits! I do have an A in my math class :slightly_smiling_face: . I have faith that this will work. I might return here but I may take some time off the forums so I think about pmo less. All this talk of pmo may make me think of it. I’m having stress with a toxic family member that I’m struggling to cut off from me. I fucking hate this person and should try to control my stress so I don’t go to pmo for stress relief.

I see Isolation is the main reason for your relapse but now you realized how to overcome it.But the question is can you do it for real?
You can say yes you can but you have to proof yourself otherwise at some days you will came here apologised.

I hung out with 5 of my friends today for the whole afternoon and evening and it was probably the best day I had in months. This is what is missing in my life that will get me out of addiction.
