Relapse

Thanks y’all!

The cycle is there because it's familiar and easy. This isn't easy, you can't get out of this until you wait out the temporary sickness

Because we’re human and short term solutions are easier. For those brief few seconds we forget whatever menial things we’re stressing over or feeling sad about and crave that short term hit - like a mental reward for what we’ve had to endure during the day. It’s ok to feel bad about relapsing, but don’t dig yourself out too much, fundamentally you want to change and that’s the first major battle won. It’s ok not to fix it instantly, take this as a lesson, what triggered it this time? Can you avoid that next time. Use this ‘loss’ as a teaching for next time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, you’ve got this. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be here.
