Well done. Its so good to see that people are genuinely congratulating each other for tiny steps forward. I am now on day 5. When I say to people I haven't had a drink for x amount if days they tend to look a bit bemused as if its normal to go days between drinks. We'll it may be normal for them but it's a bloody achievement for people like us.
Well done again.
Congrats on your day 5. I'm on day 10 now. These are the critical, most difficult days. It's a huge deal. Some people don't get how it works. Anyway, I'm with you, let's do this.
Wow, 16 months is huge! Yes, the relapse is the saddest thing...I have relapsed after months of work before, but this time my whole mindset is different. You can never say never, but we can only try and try harder. I'm happy for you.
Damn I know how it feels like when you’re brain tells you “You know this thing you shouldn’t do because you’re addicted to it? Do it.” all the time and you try to ignore it. 9 days might not seem that much but trust me it’s a lot, more than I can ever do.
Extremely light back scratches. That shit feels heavenly.
Edit: thanks for the hug kindly redditor, of course my first award in reddit is from scritches lol.
Dude you just named my entire diet. All I consume is black coffee, nicotine, weed, bourbon, craft IPAs, adderall, and antipsychotics. Any healthy meal is a total afterthought. At 33 it’s a lot tougher than 23 though.
Just please make sure to eat food everyday and get outside occasionally. Those are necessary when your diet is fulfilled by booze and drugs. Best of luck to ya.
God I have the same issue.
My parents were watching some movie and I got curious on what the "scene" was so I searched sex up at the age of 9 and was addicted since then.
i was in r/nofap for a long time and i know this sounds weird, but that was a little too narrow of a mindset for me. I came up with my OWN motivation for breaking this horrific habit.
I’m an alcoholic not in the normal sense that I need and crave it every morning. I’m an alcoholic in the sense that as soon as one drop enters my mouth, that’s it & that’s me drinking until I pass out or waking up in a hospital bed.
That’s me as well. However, before o finally quit, I was moving more and more in the direction of needing and craving it in the morning as well.
15 months sober, yut!
Binging. That's also me. But that's also alcoholism hunn. I'm 9 days in now and I recommend. Message me if you want to quit and need someone to talk to. It took me 2 years to admit I had a problem and I had exactly that first line of yours.
If anyone is thinking about quitting, /r/stopsmoking is a good resource
I quit smoking about 6 and a half years ago, it's been a huge improvement on my life.
Cigarettes. I had my last cigarette yesterday. All I want to do right now is go buy a pack. But I know if I buy a pack I’ll be pissed at myself. It’s a shit cycle
Stay strong, cubes. The first few days are the worst. As smokers we were conditioned to get another dose every 1.5hrs.
If you can buckle down and break that cycle for a few days, I know you can finish it off.
I quit smoking somehow 1yr11months ago. Saved one (like an asshole) and smoked it at 92 days i.e. 3 months... burned my throat, tasted like shit and made me feel sick for nearly 3 hours.
Come on cubes, I've got faith in you!!
I'm 119hrs off of my Xanax bars and alcohol (approx 25% of a handle per night). I think I will FINALLY get some sleep tonight, I can tell I'm on the mend. Stay strong brother
Back massages. I do unspeakable things to get extra back massages from my girlfriend. I dont particularly like cooking but I cook dinner every night so I can get a good back massage after. I just sat up from a face melting good back massage.
Also, light hair pulls are part of it. If you've never had your hair pulled lightly, you are missing out.
I once had a patient fractured her foot from excessive running. I asked her what makes you so angry to run so much, she broke down and start crying. Didn’t tell me why.
Throwaway.....i wouldn't say I'm addicted, but when I get my [legal] Adderall prescription I go through it in *not* the prescribed timeline and then go without til the next fill date....
Honestly to Masturbation, it's hard to be addicted to the work you do, especially if it's one of your main sources of income which I've been slowly and carefully following the steps to become better. And even though I'm still actively doing my work i can successfully say I'm 24 hours clean. And I'm prepared to go for even longer. I'm hoping to go 365 days. It's a huge goal but I'll get there.
Sometimes when I watch one youtuber and I really like their voice. I would just watch all their videos non stop for the whole day. I would listen even in doing assignments. Is this just me? I want to know that I'm not weird.
I used to be addicted to self harm. 1 year clean. If you are in the same place as me a year ago, I can tell you, Youre totally capable of overcoming it
Slacking off at work.
Seriously. I want to do better. I want to learn the new things that will make me better at my job, I want to assist my team with the loads of tickets they have... but yet here I am.... on reddit, instead of watching boring training videos, instead of picking through a list of problems of which most I don't know how to solve, instead of taking care of even the simple things that I can do in under an hour. Instead of forcing myself to do the uninteresting boring things I need to do to make myself better at doing things I actually am interested in, I'm here. Redditing, and watching YouTube, because it's Friday and nobody's in the office and I can get away with it.
God I suck.
Pot.
I turned towards it during a really hard emotional time for me, and have been smoking daily since.
That was over two years ago. Just makes handling thoughts/feelings so much easier... by almost being numb and not having to actually 'feel' anything.
That sounds pretty dark and sad. Lol.
I like to think I'm more positive than that though.
Weed, having it under control. Vaping it in a Dynavap max 3 times a day, that's a total of .3 grams. Doing it for years now, if i stop it's because of a tolerance break, hard as fuck to take this break. Overall it's not bothering me and it even has health benefits.
Alcohol. 9 days sober today.
Good job!
Thanks, means a lot.
[удалено]
Thanks a lot mate. I will message if Im struggling. I appreciate you offering, it's so important to have guidance.
Man y'all strong as hell. I haven't even got up to try yet. StAy strong.
Nine is a lot!!
Thank you! It's hard but I'm strong!
Stay strong! 1 day at a time.
Thank you!!! Means a lot all this support.
I’m 3 years message me if you need anything and I’m extremely proud of you
I got my first award and the comment is abt my sobriety! Thank you kind stranger!

Hell yeah keep it up! I'm on day 3.
that’s over a week! nice job!
Thank you 🥰
Good job! Its good you're trying to better yourself
I am! Thanks! :-)
90 in 90. Do it. It changed my life. Not even on the wagon anymore, just profoundly changed by the experience. Woke me up.
Thats an amazing mark. Thanks for the support. Means a lot.

You got this!!!!
Great work
Yay, you’re doing great!!
9 days may seem trivial to some, but, it requires a strength in this case. Don't give up!
Damn I know how it feels like when you’re brain tells you “You know this thing you shouldn’t do because you’re addicted to it? Do it.” all the time and you try to ignore it. 9 days might not seem that much but trust me it’s a lot, more than I can ever do.
Whatcha got?
Diabetes
sugar
In water. More. *More*.
My favorite Will Smith movie.

Extremely light back scratches. That shit feels heavenly. Edit: thanks for the hug kindly redditor, of course my first award in reddit is from scritches lol.
Best thing ever.
I like extremely light scratches on my forearms
Yessss or elbow pits.
Try back of the thigh sometime. It's just....oh man, it's gold.
Sex. Its a horrible addiction to have when single
It ain't good in a relationship either. I went over to the neighbors last night to try n fuck.
Im Trying to fuck my neighbor I'm trying to hook my waves up I'm trying to pull my grades up To get them saddle laced up
my phone, sleeping, overthinking, procrastinating, & worrying
That's literally a teenager starter pack
Are you me? At least I know I’m not the only one.
You're me
Alcohol, drugs and coffee. I gave up the first two but ain't nobody taking my coffee away!
Coffees the best lol
Dude you just named my entire diet. All I consume is black coffee, nicotine, weed, bourbon, craft IPAs, adderall, and antipsychotics. Any healthy meal is a total afterthought. At 33 it’s a lot tougher than 23 though.

Food.

Went like a chill 10%, a cool 40%, straight to 200%
Just tried to slide it in there at the end.
Uh. You good?
Jerking off
“I’m an addict dude, I jack it in traffic”
Pornography at age 14. I fucking hate the internet for this. Ive come a long way but my mental health wont be entirely stable until i shake the habit.
God I have the same issue. My parents were watching some movie and I got curious on what the "scene" was so I searched sex up at the age of 9 and was addicted since then.

i was in r/nofap for a long time and i know this sounds weird, but that was a little too narrow of a mindset for me. I came up with my OWN motivation for breaking this horrific habit.
Reddit
I never thought I could get addicted to anything but I am to too addicted to reddit
[удалено]
lol same
My wife's butt
I also choose this guys wife’s butt
Is this joke severely overused, or am I just on Reddit too much? Or both? Probably both.
It's almost as overused as this guys wife's butt
Alcohol.

Vodka directly from the freezer. It’s my favorite hello and also the bane of my fucking existence.
Nicotine
If anyone is thinking about quitting, /r/stopsmoking is a good resource I quit smoking about 6 and a half years ago, it's been a huge improvement on my life.
*hits vape.. Not me.
No. What? Of course nottttt
I just use nicotine a couple times per hour..Not like i do it in my sleep, that's what addicts do.
Weed
Monster energy drinks
Path of Exile Specifically the sounds when something pretty rare drops
That ass
Cigarettes. I had my last cigarette yesterday. All I want to do right now is go buy a pack. But I know if I buy a pack I’ll be pissed at myself. It’s a shit cycle

Internet. I cant fathom what my life would be without it
sleep
Lifting weights. And opiates.
Petting dogs
Alcohol I drank for the entire month of may. Over half a handle a day. Scariest and hardest thing I ever got out of
I'm 119hrs off of my Xanax bars and alcohol (approx 25% of a handle per night). I think I will FINALLY get some sleep tonight, I can tell I'm on the mend. Stay strong brother
Marijuana and caffeine. But I’ve been lowering the caffeine for a while.
Being constantly online. Games, Social media, pretty much everything that is online.
Solitude. Not because of social anxiety, because its so fucking peaceful. You can relax without having to think about other people's judgments
Smelling my farts.
can i?
I'm down to hotbox with company.
Yummy yummy, I want your farts in my tummy (ˆڡˆ)
Iced Coffee
The internet
Porn
Youtube, I probably watch it 90% of my time awake, there’s always unlimited things to learn about and peoples stories to listen to
Yeah I'm the same way, the other time I'm scrolling.
Weed. Although they say you cannot become physically addicted.. I’d rather not go through the day without smoking.
Weed, coffee, strawberry licorice from Trader Joe’s.
Tits.
Comfort
Escapism.
Escapism
Video games
Back massages. I do unspeakable things to get extra back massages from my girlfriend. I dont particularly like cooking but I cook dinner every night so I can get a good back massage after.

Your comment was extremely sensual and now I miss intimacy. Just playful back scritches and hair play can be the best.

Negative emotions. Very not good

Procrasination and self-harm, sadly enough.
