Relapsed after a stronger streak. Listened to the lies and the boredom before bed ( which was a strong habit for me). What do yall do to help the battle before bed. On the days I stay clean I can feel myself uneasy and staying up so late ( which I know will get better) but would appreciate insight. Keep fighting
We are only as strong as our weakest member, im thinking of creating a discord group for all of us to chat in
Also prayin for you both
Brotha Jared thank you. Praying for you RN. I really appreciate this message.
I’m having a night like that right now, buddy. The Bible teaches to flee from temptation. I’m up playing games and enjoying a podcast, but the words of The Enemy are trying to creep into my enjoyment. Laugh at the demons and go to bed. Come on here, breathe a little, reflect on the reasons you want to do this— reflect on how crappy relapsing truly makes you feel and commit to not ever wanting to make yourself feel like that again. Comment on someone’s post and encourage them with the strategy you’re currently employing (hi, that’s me right now). Know that you’re not a failure— you just had a failure and, if you choose to love yourself in the way God still loves you, you will reflect on this experience and be more prepared to say no for this next streak. I know you can do this. We’re all struggling with the same temptation. Each “setback” creates a new stone on the path for us to step on and climb higher. You and I will eventually be free. Keep trying. It’s way easier than giving up and living in misery.
I try to go out for a 30 minutes walk

I’ll be watching the posts for it, man. I’ve been a quitter long before I joined this app and I’ve gained a lot of insights through my Catholic catechesis. I’d love the opportunity to share these insights, as they help me even more than they help the people reading what I say.
