You know what sucks? Being responsible for your own actions.

I ate like shit, relapsed on the vape, and drank hella caffeine last night.

Got a bad endo flare up today and I can only blame myself.

A lot of y’all make discipline and a healthy lifestyle look easy.

#Bitcoin fixes this 😄

nobody likes that being resposible for their own actions crap, you can get out of here with that shit!!! LOL (HAHA) 🤣 😅 🤪 😉

😂🫂

You recognized your lapse in judgement and you’re not letting yourself off the hook.

That’s the hardest part.

Gotta keep going, dude. You’re closer to the finish of that nicstick than the start of it. Get a reward for all of the mental bandwidth you’ve devoted to quitting. Don’t give up!!!!!!

That is the one thing. My awareness is so much stronger now. I think that’s a good sign and my intention is real like I really want this

Way back in college I took a class called Health Psychology. There is something called the “transtheoretical model of change”. You’re currently taking action, which is always a messy process. But you’re 100% right, you’re well beyond the contemplative steps. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I can just promise you that if you keep showing up everyday and trying, sooner or later none of your bandwidth will be devoted to the cravings as they will dissipate. And the monkey will be off your back and you will feel a profound sense of freedom as you no longer require exogenous substances to feel “whole”. You got it dude.

Damn I think I remember seeing this model in my undergrad behavioral psych class and completely forgot about it. Thanks for the motivation 🫂

As in girl cramps?

Um my uterus grows outside of itself and bleeds internally, if that’s “girl cramps” then sure lol

Yep 👍

Well that’s your opinion then. A poopy not good opinion, but yours 😂🫂

Close enough for me

It's a process. Be kind to yourself. Restart tomorrow.... Or Monday.

Yup. I just can’t quit quitting because I “failed” a few times and I realized that not all progress is linear

You know it.

Responsibility for your actions becomes easy as your actions become more responsible. Replace the habits with better ones. I have a really hard time with some things too. The war is fought in small battles. Keep fighting.

Thanks so much. The more I talk about it, the more I feel like I’m holding myself responsible and I’ve been getting a lot of good encouragement, like this 🫂

Hang in there 💪

Yeah, being responsible for oneself and not relapsing is time consuming and takes effort.

We do it as best we can 🫂

Amen sister 🫂

It's one of those things where inertia cuts both ways. Don't beat yourself up for not doing it right; work on the small things, make a habit of it, and step them up when you can.

The worst though is when you get in one of those grooves and then being a parent to a teenager with multiple sports teams and a work schedule that moves around throws it all off the cliff and you're back at square one...

I’m not a parent, but that was basically my experience. I had a really chaotic day yesterday and all my discipline went out the window 🫂

I think it happens to all of us. Definitely me in any case. Be gentle with yourself while beating the will to comfort out of yourself...or something, haha.

Focus is the same when adhering to physical discipline as it is when meditating. The more of a big deal you make of a lapse of focus, the less focused you're being.

Yup and I’ve noticed that I haven’t been having good meditations sessions lately so my focus is off. May need to do some exercises

You gotta cross addict into feeling good. That is the secret sauce.

Yeah I’m trying to find a worthy replacement behavior

One demon at a time, I don’t see nicotine on that list 💪🫂

The vape 😭

😆 I thought the point of the vape is so you can go pure herb ? Joints with pure herb toke for shit 😂

Also it’s a bit of a cliche but tomorrow is a new day and we fall.

Tomorrow is gonna be the healthiest day I’ve ever had. Mark my words😂

Words have been marked, will check in 24 hours 🫡😂

Thank you! that type of accountability is actually wanted 😂🫂

Check in on that healthy day, your words

Omg the disaster artist😂🫂 I love that fucking quote. Better today so far. The vape died last night

That good to hear 😂 hide the charger 🔌

Hahaha I will 😂 trying to sip water or hit the joint whenever I get the urge

That seems appropriate 😆

so you're saying we're partying tonight?

If you have a mouse in your pocket who really likes to party, then yes 😂🫂

"oh look, it's the consequences of my actions" I think this to myself sometimes 😅😅🫂

Oh man self honesty is so rough 😂🫂

That’s why we have tomorrow

Well said!

It’s not about getting it 100% right.

If you’re disciplining at 80% you’re doing better than most. Hell, at 70% even.

Yup. I’ve made progress. Definitely not at my goal, but better than before 🫂

Be kind to yourself, it takes time. We all struggle with something. Focus on getting a little better every day.

Yup. I’ve been expecting a lot at once instead of the much more realistic one thing at a time method

Hey man I need all the help I can get, if that’s tough love then bring it. I don’t wanna be hitting this vape anymore like a tool 😂

You need a balance of “you’re doing well I’m proud of you” and “toughen the fuck up.” I think this is deeply ingrained in humans. Mother provided unconditional love while father set the standards and expectations for growth.

If you talk about giving up, then you’ll see the other side 😂

If it makes u feel any better u and nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r (she’s a probationary member and the council has some serious reservations) would be the cutest in the ⭕️

Whoa whoa whoa. They are not cuter than me

😳….that ain’t the worst thing I did tonight tho…I depersoned nostr:npub1v7k63c6y2vktlqhsuupywt3yc7ykursujc34at964f9cv9s9y9csjutfk0 on my list of the ⭕️😩

…this will not end well…u know how he’s cozied up to the council 😖

Stacey this leaving homies out is getting beyond ⭕ levels of crazy

Indeed 😂

I’m happy to enter through the back door. Sicilians never use the front dooor.

John this is the front door

I need a doctor.

I smell toast.

Hmmm… not good

Wait mother in law baking bread. I think we’re ok.

That was a close one

Is it gluten free?

😂

Oh damn, urs moves😳…I gotta figure the live meme game out…or maybe not😂

tenor.com

If you’re on iPhone, go to gifbuddy.lol and click add to homescreen. Then you just search whatever gifs you want and copy the link then paste into a note here.

Never

Would it still be bread?

I honestly don’t know lol

2 ambien suppositories and call nostr:npub1ghcetnluhryhynhuyj8s2pazldjm27wl40nu6dfeskvpv09twcnsneygat in the morning 😂🫡

I’m a doctor what do you need?

The other kind of doctor 🤭

Something for the pain. The spiritual pain.

What is this from?

Looks pretty epic

The anime is alright but this villain is pretty bad ass. His name is pain and he believes that pain would make the world a better place.

Interesting villain

Itachi & Pain were quite the interesting characters

My go to was cowboy bebop and trigun. Perfection.

I haven't seen them. I've heard about Cowboy Bebop, but not about Trigun. What's it about?

I really enjoyed Psycho Pass, Lelouch of the Rebellion, and Death Note.

Death note!

Don’t watch the live action remake of cowboy bebop whatever you do. It’s about space bounty hunters. But it’s not really scifi if that makes sense. Trigun is harder to explain. Just watch it and don’t judge till you get 3-4 episodes in. It gets deep

Never heard of trigu

Curious about it

It’s incredible. Both are great because they are just like 24 episodes and that’s it. Not like hundreds

I like that

When I watch anime, I'm a purist. English subs only.

Respect. I studied Japanese in undergrad so I have an advantage but the sound just fits better that way.

If you're into philosophy, Psycho Pass is pretty dope.

I’ll check it out. I’ve been failing to watch anything for pure entertainment lately and need to make time for that

Give the first season a try. I think you'll enjoy it.

You get the real voice acting that way

Absolutely. Pros.

First season psycho pass was great. Lelouch of the rebellion was really good but ending was kinda lame to me. Death note is a classic.

There’s an episode of cowboy bebop where they are so hungry and eat a bag of magic mushrooms. It gets wild

100% agree.

I did really enjoy the last season of Psycho Pass. Season 1 is by far the best though.

Attack on Titan and Death Note are my favourites

Still gotta give Attack on Titan a shot. I've only heard good things.

You won’t be disappointed

I believe attack on titan is tied as the highest rated anime of all time with FMAB

FMAB?

Fraternity of motherfuckin anime bros.

Is that a real thing? 😂

No I’m being a dick. I don’t know what that is.

It sounded like you were joking 😂

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

That makes more sense. Thanks 😂

Attack on titan is the best

That looks intense.

So good

Never watched those but heard cowboy bebop was good.

Nice

☝🏾tru….an unfortunate consequence of the growth of size and influence of the ⭕️🤦‍♂️😂

The girth and size of the circle 🤭

Thic

This is a good exit point, John this is not the entrance

That’s what she said.

Extremely 🤭

3mg Zyns helped me

Addiction/habits are hard to break. Being too hard on yourself often leads to people giving up.

You should read what anonymous wrote. He went full therapist mode on her 🫂

I appreciate it all, seriously

Lmfao I was giving a lighter shade of myself a shot. Is it a mistake? Should I resort to my old ways?? DO THE HOS WANT THE OLD DRAKE BACK????

Give us the old drake damnit!

Ohhhh girllll don’t tempt me🎶

You went too far back Dolph!

Where do you find this shit bro😂😭

This is what I ask myself most of the time 😂😂😂

My meme folder has things saved from 2008. I am very proud of it 😂

Drake the type of guy to see a female zombie on COD and whisper “who did this to you?”

🤣🤣🤣

Noooooo! A mix 😂

Prolly lost that incisor at a diddy party…the first time he met bron and Mitch the turtle😳

Started from the bottom

In one week, I want to quote boost this “now we here” with the statement that i have been nicotine free for a whole week.

Proof of work

Maybe your mind is getting in the way.

It definitely is.

Don't forget, social media is misleading. Most of us probably highlight the things we DO get right vs what we don't.

I think as long as we're all trying to be better and realize when we've fucked up, we're on the right track 🫡

Yeah I compare the worst parts of my life to the best parts of other peoples’ on the regular and have to reality check myself 🫂

100000%

You are not alone if that's any consolation.

There's a fine line between inspiration and self shame 😅

It is kind of a consolation. It feels good to be in the same boat as someone else ya kno? 🫂

Oh yeah, make no mistake, I do be fucking up quite a bit. You ain't special.

😅😅I'm sorry...hope you had allot of water...helps allot 😘

Yes. All day. Flushing it out 🫂😂

♥️ It's beautiful that you posted that, because you were judging yourself and then you saw you were doing this and it seemed to me that you stopped punishing yourself and just saw the facts and what you want to change. you are dealing with a lot right now, and even if you were not, you can make "mistakes" and look at them without punishment - but even being judgemental can be understood and embraced and then you can drop it. I'm celebrating here all the perceptions and spaces it opens (for me it was very helpful).

The good news is that by taking responsibility for your choices you get to make other choices once you've experienced the outcome.

The bad news is that you don't get to play the victim & blame someone else.

🫂

if another would've done to me what self has done....😔

Own the action but don’t punish yourself. The moment you break that link the kinder you become to yourself, which can help you to be more compassionate to yourself in the future. It helps your mind create new habits from peaceful thoughts and mindfulness.

Self punishment is a brutal treadmill that disrupts our mindfulness pathway. 🫂

Never try to be perfect, be grateful every time you did things right. Good luck!

It takes time. Don't give up. This is my third year trying a carnivore lifestyle. Maybe this one will stick.

Attachment to craving and aversion leads to suffering.🧘
