I finally get it. I was chasing the feeling of a dangerous dose caffeine buzz because I've been longing for a part of myself I lost in 1990. My whole life since has been a reaction to that. And now I can begin the work of healing ❤️. #recovery #addiction

I am what might be called a profound caffeine addict. Profound in that its not uncommon that I use what can be considered dangerous doses of the substance to get "zooted". Today I've set up the conditions to maximally cut myself off from using it, and I begin the daily work of #recovery.

The mind has a tendency to respond to emotional texture with thoughts that complement the feeling (a depressed mind is lent to justifying the feeling with negative self talk, etc). Given this, it often cannot be trusted to lean toward skillful thinking behavior. #mind #emotion #thought
