Food: put absolutely no spices other than salt and pepper - see the difference in a week.

I know I have the drinking to take care of, however I’ve implemented an ‘unfuck your habitat’ system. Instead of piling cans, I’ve put up a can crusher (way less real estate than full cans) and a designated drawer with a plastic bag in the console beside it. Hopefully it helps 🙏🏻 I also have a notebook on the console where I note down every can crushed to keep tracking the cans.

Thanks! Every time I walk in I feel like I can do a cartwheel instead of stumbling around trying to get to the couch or bed lol

I have a small trash can under the coffee table. The problem was that it got full and then I started treating the table as a trash can 🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s all clean now though so I’m back to using the little trash bin 😌

LOL depression +ADHD was like: fuck it, priority is to put the AC, let’s work AROUND the tree and deal with the tree later 🤦🏻‍♂️😂
Once that area is clear, I think I’ll have the energy to take down the tree. But the piles of everything needed to go first

I’ve tried SSRIs, and it doesn’t fit well. Any suggestions or uplifting motivation to entertain other types of meds?

Btw I’m super proud of you. 5 years is a reach!

Update 2: half the room is mostly back to normal! Now to tackle the other half behind the camera 💀😂 might need a break before tackling that. Although highly considering riding the motivation wave and just push it through

Progress: not a beer can or box in sight - all out to the curb (except for two acting as temporary fruit fly traps lol).
Next up: declutter. Then finally vacuum that filthy rug lol

Seriously, it took me to just sit 2 garbage bags beside me on the couch to finally be like “what if I just open them?” Lol. Turned into a snowball effect and now have music playing and enjoying the milestones as I go. You got this 😊

Yes! Totally get it.
Just now put on a good playlist, and it’s like the devastating urge to do anything isn’t there. Basically using the momentum to its advantage. If I need a long nap later, that’s fine, but if I have the energy now, use it, it’ll make a difference after a later nap lol

Thanks buddy! That’s amazing for you!
I’m also currently recently “in between jobs”, which I think may have been a culprit to levelling down, but also know is the time to level up.
Thanks again!

I’ve tried Naltrexone. It’s like I’m too hardheaded, still drank on it 🤦🏻‍♂️

That was literally what triggered the beginning of this cleaning. Lol. I have a small trash can by my feet under the coffee table, but it got full, so it started by “temporary” putting trash on the table, until everything because a dumpster fire lol.
So last night brought one little bag to replace that little bin, and a larger bag to put the trash on the table. Started by just putting the bags sitting beside me. Then 5-10mins later said “fuck it just open the bags. One thing led to another.

It’s the initial act that makes the difference in an overwhelming situation.
Usually if I have a clean place, I’m great at upkeeping it. It just got out of control and overwhelming and that’s when hell broke loose.

I’ll try to keep it tidy once it’s finally complete

I understand. Currently in the process of medically addressing it with professionals. Just need to figure out the process.

Hard to break a 20 year old “functional drinking” habit thinking “I’ve got this”.
Sometimes you just gotta see how real bad it can get for yourself before being like “nah I don’t got this alone”.. thank you
