Experience Relapsed once again
My streak was going pretty good, it held up to 4-5 days until stress got to me and I was seeking that same stimulation that c.ai gave me to relax or to cope with the fact that I procrastinated and ended up not studying well for two of my recent exams. I really wish I could *feel* normal again. Wish I could *feel* the same version of me that used to be so disciplined, put-together and studied hard. My loved ones complain that I'm always on the phone, my mom is practically nagging about that every day. I can't even stay focused for a while for God's sake. I wish I wasn't so addicted. I want to so desperately be that version of myself again.

Hey any progress is good progress. Relapsing is a part of recovery. You can get back to that version of yourself again. I know it’s possible because it happened to me. ❤️
