I find I am my own worst enemy. Self sabotaging before I even get started. Doubt. The cycles of starting and then quitting jobs or healthy habits.

What are your tricks to get out of your own head?

      It is for me lol. I’m way more motivated with a couple beers. I’m probably an alcoholic, but I have rules set in place like, I can only start drinking after 5, I can only have hard alcohol a couple times a week, etc.

        That sounds a lot like walking a tightrope there buddy. You need someone who’ll catch you if you fall.

        I was only ever addicted to nicotine, haven’t smoked in 10 years, but I know it in my gut that if I pick up a single cigarette I’ll be right back to 1 pack a day in less than a week.

        Everyone’s different and some people can walk that fine line without crossing it, but the safest is to just stop, my friend.

          My husband and I drink together, it’s not like I’m always drinking alone in my sad little world. It’s a social activity. Plus we live in Japan and it’s very hard to avoid…lol.
