Well………..I’m off to a new program tommorow I’m just hoping it will hold me off and I won’t relapse or leave sometimes I give myself permission to leave because my anxiety kicks in when I’m around a lot of people or I need a stiff drink and at that time that’s the only reasonable solution to my anxiety I know better now and currently in a short term program so I have a couple weeks sober and feel anew, rested and prepared to face my upcoming challenges such as; negative self thoughts, anxiety and depression and/or FOM (fear of missing out). I got so many addictions, just about anything that brings me pleasure becomes an addiction I could see coffee becoming an addiction but that’s light weight, it is much better than vodka or sticking a needle in my arm. That’s for sure. I just wanted to put my thoughts out into the electronic universe of the web.

Hey there, it is okay to feel down sometimes. Most people feel a light roller coaster of emotions throughout their days/ weeks. We are not supposed to feel happy constantly. Its about being able to balance those times when we are stressed or down with healthy coping strategies. For instance, when a balanced person gets stressed out by work, peers, and life struggles, they might practice mindfulness and meditation. These responses are not just actions but habits. For example, when one wants to receive the positive benefits of these practices, one must practice them on a daily/ weekly basis. These coping strategies can be learned and “overlearned” to the point of automatic response. By contrast, negative (unhealthy) habits can also be “overlearned.” Thinking, talking, and acting negatively can become a habit too. (automatic response) Some people have trouble understanding why they think or behave in certain ways that lead them to feel bad. One possible answer is they accidentally learned to do those things. A possible solution: become aware of unhealthy thought, speech, and behavior patterns. Then, unlearn them slowly and re-train new/ healthy responses. The first step is believing you can. You can! Have a good day.
