@fossilfellow Addiction Recovery. *T.W*

...See more I'm making this new thread, and I decided to make some changes. I realize that the previous method I was doing is a trap, which keeps me stuck in an exhausting pattern. To be completely honest with myself and my healing, I'm switching to a Traffic Light System. 🟢 Green - I stayed completely clean all day. No intentional engagement with triggers. 🟡 Yellow - I have a brief slip or a boundary cross that I successfully stopped within 5 minutes. ( This resets my green streak, but let's me save my overall streak before hitting red. ) 🔴 Red - A full relapse, or engaging in triggering loops for more than 5 minutes. Resets the overall streak back to Day 1. This will be incredibly difficult for me, but I want to heal, and be a normal healthy person. I will do my best 🤍

...See more I was in a shop just now, it's evening, getting my shoe fixed.. then there was a guy in his 30s who was engaging with me in talks.. at first it all felt normal, he was giving compliments and stuff, trying to give gym advices, it all felt so genuine... but then things started getting weird, and he was acting really weird, dancing, and touching my legs and even after knowing I'm seventeen he was engaging and all.. I still didn't step back. I felt like he might be genuinely interested in talkin and knowing about the gym, and diet, after sometime he started getting very aggressive and weird while talking... askin for my phone which i luckily didn't had, mentioning his niece and telling me to teach her how to do gym and after sometime i smelled beer in him, and I felt very uneasy and immediately stepped back and distanced myself from him and quickly got home. and talked with my sis about the incident... I feel really dumb for engaging with the stranger for that long. I should've been more careful and even tho I felt aware during the situation.. I still didn't step back sooner 🙁 even tho it isn't the first time this has happened to me — Idk how I'm supposed to trust someone in public after these kinda incidents.

Taking a break.

...See more I have decided to take a break from cups, and focus on my studies and personal life. I'll be having an exam on February, and it's really important, I'm very behind and weak in my studies. This place and people here mean a lot to me. I'm very unsure about how long this break will be, maybe I'll check in ocationally, I'm feeling scared about stepping away, but i hope I'm doing the right thing. I'll miss you all a lot. 🙁💝
