Hey yall - I screwed up… I was going strong for 20 days or so, and I felt good, but today was unimaginably difficult and I have no clue why. I don’t recognize my triggers, other than I am most tempted when I’m alone and doing nothing. Today was very productive until about noon or one-ish and then it all came crashing down. I am looking for advice on things to distract the mind when alone at home. For context, I am not religious (well I guess I am a Christian based on my beliefs and the way I practice rather than reading and praying), so I am not necessarily looking for advice with religious practice but rather everyday things I can work on and keep my mind a little more managed on being temptation free. Thanks yall - stay strong.
I like to: 1. Go outside (take a walk or just sit on your patio and take some deep breaths) 2. Draw or paint 3. Play video games 4. Talk to friends or family 5. Play sports Also I like to keep my door wide open so even if I wanna I would have to get up and shut it and what not
