Im 4 days in and I want to relapse. The only thing that has been stopping me, is looking at the slow timer go up and thinking about how long it took me to get here. I’ve been thinking about a hookup to keep me satisfied but I feel like that doesn’t count too. Any thoughts?
Don’t focus so much on the timer. I did the same thing when I first started on my journey. Your focus needs to be else where. Focus less on how many days has passed and focus more on self reflecting, creating new/healthier habits and put your mind towards things that are important to you.
