fudos_shin: 26 days and Magical Thinking (7:14pm)

No advice, please.  Thank you.  Prayers welcome.

                                                                                                              

Sites I've been avoiding for 26 days:

  • social networking sites, including facebook, twitter, youtube
  • dating sites
  • chatting sites: woome, chat with a stranger, etc.  I cannot be on a
    chatting site.  MMORPGs count as "chat sites".  IRC.  The only
    exception is 12 step-related chat.
  • chat programs
  • MMORPGs
  • YouTube, Google videos, Crackle
  • SayNow.com, and calling anyone's associated fan line

 


I will have thirty days if I hold out until Saturday.  At that time I get my one-month CHIP.  If I hold out until then. I literally have gone to websites, where there hasbeen a youtube video streaming, and have had to hit the pause button.  And I don't know if I still count as following the rules, since I have seen a HULU video here and there,but it's not on the list of things.  I just needed to avoid *these* things though.  There was something about stalking Shane Dawson, the comedian that was not good for me.  But I can find other people to stalk as part of my love and procrastination addiction.  I feel like sometimes my love addiction is really co-component with my procrastination.  My feeling of being unlovable has at times made me want to kill myself; my procrastination has aided my love addiction.  My love addiction has aided my procrastination.  I am a serious addict.  I am tarnished.  I will never look good to society, if they knew all the skeletons in my closet, so to speak-- if they knew-  I am convinced that no school, that no company that NO ONE would desire me.  I don't know how to deal with the past.  I don't know how to deal with mistakes.  I don't know how to deal with guilt or the fact that I've done things that I don't feel good about.  I know that's the ninth step-- amends. 

Recycler CI 4:20pm EST

Hi Pro Buddies!

This morning at the gym I did my full cardio, stretching, and ab exercises. The cute guy talked to me today! :)

At work, I kept pecking at my assignment list. At lunchtime I did an errand. Arriving back, a time-consuming "urgent" project was presented; which was ok, I just kept working at it. After it was completed, I worked on other regular projects the rest of the day, until another urgent project came along. I've done as much on it as I can for the day. I've updated my project list and it's looking better than I expected for tomorrow. Whew!

After work, I will stop in at the condo, before heading to my volunteer meetings. I'll probably arrive home too late to update my CI, so, talk to you tomorrow! :)

Have a great night! :)

AM Routine has to be first. This is very hard for me to do to day. 1) because I am starting it as 1:00 and 2) I have so many other things that I feel I should be doing and they are all just swarming in my head and overwheleming me. So this routine is my focus.

mj Tuesday gettin back to work

Having had a breakthrough yesterday by "accepting the possibilities of failure" in my top two procrastinated tasks, I'm now able to move on to new items.

To clarify, I just asked, "What am I afraid of? What's the worst that could happen if/when I start these tasks? The answers were: rejection, and conflict - someone might say "No", or be mad at me, and I'd have to advocate for myself. For whatever reasons, acknowledging this has helped me get on with things. It's in the "tools for recovery" section on this site, under the heading, "Ask yourself Why".

Anyway, today, my top three "must do tasks" are:


sell bike,


get meds,


visit families of  two students I contacted yesterday.

What would be nice to get done, as well:

apply for temp jobs this summer

ecollege/log on, read articles

start on reflection for visits.
