Procrastination is my distraction.
When I want that which I cannot/shouldnot have, the more I tell myself “No- you cannot,”
the more I want.

I use my special powers of procrastination, to delay the gratification without the torture of denial.
I simply tell myself in a mater of fact voice- later, I can indulge, but have to wait (however long I think I can) an hour(?) or three(?) before I can have it.
then I wait.
…and wait.
…and wait.

When the time is up, I tell myself that now I have to wait a half hour…or so.
Just until I finish project “A”, or “B”."
I could keep this up all day long.

You can do it. I don’t even drink caffeine anymore :astonished:. Just follow the steps and reach out and then give back

Kinda like how I tell myself half a day at a time. If I can make it until noon, I’ll be ok…then over and over…yeah, that helps me when I get suicidal

I definitely drink a lot of coke and coffee. Plus I smoke a lot of cigarettes. I will eventually quit those but just not now

I think MIs just have a “knack” for self destructive behavior. Yeah, that’s a lot to tackle at once. Baby steps, but I’m sure you’ll look back and say…geez, I made it :hugs:
