It's ok to say no to people..
This here is step number 1600 for me. My daily streak is now at 10, I think.
I keep learning how hard I am on myself. Which is not helpful.
I am learning that I really do hate being late. In that ( <---- ) and other things, I talk to myself or tell myself things that I would not ever tell a friend!
I am not sure how to reverse this trend. The healthy part of me sure would like to be much more kind to myself. The negative self talk I deal with was learned (over years' worth of time), so does that mean it can be unlearned? I sure hope so. ~ Platy
Oh. And I am learning again - Grief is hard! I knew that before; but with fresh "in my face" kind of grief right now .... I am relearning that Grief is terribly hard and I do not like it!
I've learned that I don't need Don Juan anymore.
When your feeling off, you might be afarid. Afraid to do something you want to. But its better to fail trying then to fail to try.
i learn the same thing each time its super repetitive
Love yourself. Respect yourself. Be yourself.

@GlenM I am learning to celebrate the small victories in recovery!
@baylinAnderson123 - GOOD!
baby steps, small steps, tiny steps leading you TOWARD a goal - for which recovery definitely counts :) ----- gets you a baby, small, tiny bit closer to the bigger "final" goal.
Keep going, baylin! You got this :) :) Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370 Thank you so much for your words of incouragement!
At Step 60.
140: I have been doing quite terrible the last few days. Behind on all work, inadequate sleep, can't focus during the day. Last week was productive, but something happened on Friday and I let it ruin every day up until today. It makes sense for me to feel upset and nervous, but the problem has blown way out of proportion.
I have been avoiding something, and then avoiding other work too. The last few days, I procrastinated because I was upset, stayed up late, accidentally took a multiple-hour nap, procrastinated more because I was upset I wasted time, and now it's late again.
I don't have a solution. But for me, I don't think this will be about finding a perfect solution, just improving things a little bit, day by day. Eventually things will go back to being a little bit okay.
Practicing a change in my reaction to stress. It is a work in progress.
