Flapjack - Recovery log

[Flapjack]

Sup everyone,

it's been another month. Here's where I'm at.
I've been following the protocol at about 80%, I ran out of some supplements so I'm going to restock and i'll be back at full go, but otherwise my diet and exercise along with cold water exposure and breathwork have been maintained well. I will say about once a week I have given in to meeting friends for drinks, and I'm not exactly pleased with what that means for my recovery timeline. I do wonder how much that has truly set me back but going forward, i think I'm just going to have to turn down the opportunities to go out. Symptom wise, still a slow crawl. I've been on an upward trajectory since starting but the dp/dr and fatigue are still sticking around. sleep is about 90% but i still walk around most days feeling like I had about 4 hours of rest. Enough energy to get my tasks done, but not enough to really flourish in my life, I'm just sort of stuck in this hazy dream state. It's getting very tiresome and I'm eager to put this behind me. Anyways, nothing revelatory but that's where things stand. hope all is well out there.

We both know that drinking is going to set your recovery back, by how much, hard to say, but enough to warrant not doing it.

yep. it's hard, because i just moved to a city in the pacific northwest where I know almost nobody and the winter weather wears on your psyche at times, i really want to meet people here but alcohol is ingrained in the social scene unfortunately. at the end of the day, i know what i need to do, I just don't want to pass up opportunities for dates, making friends etc.

They'll be PLENTY of time for that in the future, when you can actually enjoy it, and most likely get laid without having to worry about these bullshit issues. Listen to me.....When I was 30, I wished I hadn't done alot of what I did when I was 25 and thought I wasted my time. When I was 35, I was upset that I lost a huge portion of my life to PFS. It didn't take me till almost 45 years old to learn the value of the present moment.

Do yourself a favor. Take this time to work on yourself....I mean REALLY work on yourself. Two years might seem like a long time now, but it won't seem half as long as if you just kept fucking around and then you're two years down the line in the same fucking spot you're in now!! The social scene will ALWAYS be there. Get well man. Do THAT first. The rest will follow better then your wildest dreams. I'm certain on that.
