Innertruth's check-in

Felt I fell off the wagon for the past few weeks and have not been checking in. My procrastination is worse then ever!

I saw a psychologist yesterday who has recommended CBT. She says she can get me into a program in about 1 1/2 to 2 months. There's no way I could afford CBT in private practise as I'm not making any money. Even if I had supplemental insurance with an employer, I would have limited coverage for treatment provided by a psychologist.

So I feel that I'm part way on the road to recovery!

Work for rest of the day:

  1. Review group assignment.
  2. Read chapter on pronunciation
  3. Practice pronunciation
  4. Run
  5. Pay MC
  6. Review tenses
  7. Review grammatical terms
  8. Go to grocery store and map out lanes for class

Evening

  1. Wash dishes
  2. Handwash clothes
  3. Sort clothes to do laundry on Wednesday

clement ci - day 6 attempting abstinence

9:33am :

was on plan from 9-9:25 but

I'm clement and i have an addictive personality and it's been 1 minute since i last went off plan.

I intend to live my life facing forward, planning on not going off plan, not looking back to how long it's been.

I can feel less strength for this today. God grant me today the strength to pick myself up, and work my program one day at a time. Or one hour at a time. Or 10 min at a time.

1. quiet time
2. plan
3. tasks
11am pa phone mtg
1pm wk mtg.

10:24am :

i can't tell how long i've been on plan or off plan.

A new area has come into sharper relief :

There's an app i depend on that had a problem. Fixing that is on-task. But in searching for a solution--also on-task--i at times went too far, explored related things.

So, when an app i use is broken, i have to define a limited response that is on-task, and not go beyond that. And i have to watch myself more closely than usuall ( which is more closely than normal people to start with ) while trying to solve it.

I believe that's in the "courage to change the things i can" category.

10:51pm :

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known [...]. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. Romans 3:20-25

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. Romans 3:27-28

Incredible after what i experienced and wrote above to then have this the next verse in my bible reading.

This completely absolves me of the flaw in my character that can't resist chasing a cool idea. I will be judged not on that flaw, or even how i deal with it, but rather whether i believe that Jesus died for those sins. I will hide behind Jesus on judgement day, and he will vouch for me as one of his one, one he has called.

And then, he will turn around and give me new strength and insight and power to help me work on the problems that i have.

It's all about him, not about me.

oh, and the desire to chase that idea has ebbed.

12:41 pm :

forced corporate reboot and the reminder i set for myself i set for 8pm instead of 8am. Dang.

This has me all discombobulated. That's my nature, something i can't change. serenity.

i dont know how long it's been since i went off plan. Here's where i need wisdom to tell the difference.

courage to change the things i can. i have a headache. withdrawal. i can simply go back to my plan for the day. That is something i can do. God be with me. God help me. Do not be anxious, with thanksgiving, ask. Dedicate the next task to god.

4:31pm :

mtg at 1pm went well. post mtg let down

problem w/ to do mgr but i fixed that by cutting my losses ( unnatural ). however, now it's fixed. not perfect, but workable. And yet now i still want to fiddle w/ it. That's the addiction talking. So i am here, staying on-plan and abstinent.

next plan...

5:46 pm

it's been 1h 15min at least since i last was off plan. Before that i did not have the wisdom to tell the difference.

i REALLY feel like i need a fix.

But i'm going to stay on plan. That, is God gives me the strength. Could i could *easily* waver.

6:59pm :

i did stay on plan til about 10 min ago. It's now been 3 min since i last went off plan. I have a headache, which may very well be withdraw symptoms.

back to next task. there is one obvious one. so i'm going to do it.
