@fossilfellow Addiction Recovery. *T.W*
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 🤍

Always here for you through it all 💛
@Amanda84 Thank you ❤️
@fossilfellow
This is so thoughtful my freind 😎
I understand u are not feeling happy with your addiction but as a previous ex addict i can help you identify some common pitfalls in your protocol.
Its not easy to just quit an addiction in oneday you know that but one day will defeat our addiction..
Our nervous system is wired to that addiction and our pre frontal cortex is too weak for tenncity.
Our mission should be to develop our pre frontal cortex and tolerance towards our urges.
I will very much love if you compounded this building tolerance approach with ur already present protocol and ur willingness to overcome addiction.
It worked miraculous for me so i am optimistic that u will be successful one day..
Peace out ... ✌😘
