Stumbled across this video which I think offers a good explanation for addiction. It's mainly from the perspective of drugs but can be applied to...
Last weekend we had a celebration with friends. It’s been a while since we got to socialise with other people and I overdid it in terms of...
Going beyond those small gestures, and sorry if this sounds really obvious but perhaps you need to find a way of communicating your feelings to...
Day 7 The last week has been busy, slightly taken my eyes off the ball in terms of active recovery, but generally things have been stable and I...
Yesterday would have marked 41 days clean of PMO but unfortunately I had a relapse. The warning signs were there. For a few days in a row I had...
Good going OTB. Look to the future, as the world slowly emerges from this pandemic, things will start to get back to normal - you will be able to...
