Can't relapse if you never quit in the first place...Black Star Trek Guy Pointing At Hairline Meme
no, but on the real. My relapse is being an absolute sloth when I come home from work.
Can't really consider a relapse if this is my norm.
I go into the weekend having aspirations and plans- but just can't find the inspiration to do otherwise.
Working too hard can't be it, these symptoms are only exacerbated during vacation, and specifically, this has been a problem in 2021.
I don't have television or fast internet, so I can't even claim to use my time unproductively to do something interesting
like watch a movie or get into a hip game that isn't one of the dated browser ones I've been replaying for years. Why don't I fix that and purchase television or a good gaming rig? Money isn't so much the problem, laziness is and for that I am ashamed. To a lesser degree I am fearful that I will be pouring my money into yet another service that I don't really use.
My weekends are a blur and all I can remember from the waking hours is mindlessly cycling through the same four of five websites prowling for updates...I promise myself, okay I'll look at one more article...reply to one more post...and before I know it, two hours have passed like that. And then I spend the next hour in self-pitying reflective nostalgic state...Then I'll spend the next hour playing a game to get my dopamine levels up...Oh, look it's time to fap*...why don't I read the person I just fapped to's biography...and then it's past my bedtime and I've got nothing done.
I fall back into bad BEDTIME habits because of the above. Doesn't help that my workplace has gone lax since COVID, people can come in late, deadlines are pushed, and people are often unavailable. Not blaming anyone but myself, just stating the situation I guess. (I do like the coming in late though and I always work my hours and then some...I will never be a morning person)
I haven't PICKED UP an instrument since July. Music was always my favorite pastime...what happened? I'm afraid to hear how rusty I've gotten. I'm afraid to release unpublished projects for years...is it fear of polluting a site that I hold in high regard, or to uphold some silly static false image of S3C?
I can't be BOTHERED to cook a proper meal, so I end up eating frozen foods, trail mix, and salads.
I am ADVERSE to doing chores so I wait until they pile up, and the clutter only cuts into my already dangerously low levels of motivation.
I ENJOY capitalizing key words in my sentences. I find it HUMOROUS. Sorry about this RAMBLE, probably should have left it as a NEWSPOST. Please help, thank you.
Looking at 'perfect people' and there motivational videos and normie, eventual, healthy activities makes me feel even more like sh*t. And for that, I am a bad person and need to work on being better. blabbering here will give me 30 seconds of motivation, but I've always been all think and no action. All plan and no promise.
*no masturbation challenges are kinda easy, abstinence isn't hard for me. But there was no benefits in my case, so why deny myself a basic yet powerful pleasure over an extended period? minus one 'relapse' I've been sober since April 2017. Not that I was ever addicted to substances or anything. I find it takes so much more energy to do something (i.e. create a piece of art weekly exercise) compared to abstaining from something like going to the store to buy booze.
