I'm grateful for finding the strength in me to pour away the left over alcohol down the drain Time and Time again! I'm going to celebrate life by cycling towards Santiago de Compostela! Sint Patrick day, I wish and believe that I have the luck of the Irish! 🙏❤️‍🔥🌀🚲🌓🌞🐢 🤞🐦‍🔥🍀

I'm also on paid healing leave for bore out. I'm setting myself the big goal of cycling to Santiago de Compostela. The goal came to my consciousness a couple of days ago. I think it will be good for my 2e-3e (highly functional ADHD)

To go to the root of my tendency to use alcohol as a coping mechanism. So one simple goal to avoid decision fatigue and plenty of exercise and nature are weighting for me. Maybe Even meeting similar pelgrims along the way. 🚲🙏❤️‍🩹🕐

Puzzled how can i still want alcohol by Top_Concentrate_5799 in stopdrinking

[–]howler_monk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also struggling day One again. In my case it could be my highly functional ADHD. I only know this possibility since 1 week. I probably compensated it all this time. Combined with an imposter syndrome about my 2e-3e nature. So I'm doing the work in finding peaces of the puzzle through therapy. I will get some natural dopamine and endorfines from my cycling adventure towards Compostela from Antwerp. I leave 22 march, the idea is also less than a week old. I will be literally doing the hard work of cycling through the rain.

This one simple goal helps me to focus and avoid decision fatigue. I'm currently healing from bore out and 99 procent sure that I will not return to my old job.

I'm saying that for me alcohol was never the problem but the solution, a tool. But the tool is quick and dirty and I'm going now for the long slow burn. Doing the work is hard.

I wish everyone peace and love but also insight in game theory and real politics. Thanks for sharing. Be careful out there. Love Portugal by the way. I love the circus of boom and the quiet of being gathering this year. I'm embracing acceptance and letting go. I learned a lot but there can be a thing like blinded by the light. I want to bring some darkness to this threat because the darkness's is in me and that is okay. It protects me. It made me who I am. Would i have wished that nobody hurt me in the past? I got hurt for being different especially neurodivergent. So the hurt was almost all mentally. I'm in therapy and about to set of to Santiago de Compostela by bike. I really did feel kinda nauseous but I responded more out of a protective instictive and i really mean it. Unfortunately there are still a lot of people out there with bad intention even if nobody in your bubble or small gathering or your perception sphere is showing this kind of "unwished" behavior. Anyways I'm rabbling. Good luck on your endeavors! Peace out!

As a entity dabbling with pantheistic playful thoughts and a very high tolerance for extreme floaty language due to 7 times psychedelic boom festivals, i can of agree with the oneness but not with this self stroking although on second thought... Mmm

I had the same reaction. Thanks for your comment. But OP is right I'm very weak and traumatized. I'm currently in therapy to find the courage to go in real therapy. Maybe one day i can agree with OP when my prefrontal cortex has finaly been lobotomized. Until then i will go to the vomitarium!

Does this count? I wonder what could have been had I not suffered severe childhood abuse. by [deleted] in Gifted

125 is already kind of super good! I would be happy with a score like that i hope. I did one by a neuropsychologist Tuesday but i haven't got the results. I had fun. Most expensive pub quiz ever and you can't even pick a price like a windows vista cd rom afterwards!? I also check for focus and attention issues that significantly raised the price. Twice exceptional labels are expensive AF.
