I got an idea from a help site for a different issue, they have a concept of partnering up for accountability. That is, a person or group pairs up & checks on each other daily (here on the forum) to encourage/ follow through/ vent the challenges/ remind each other. I'm wondering if anyone would like to do this, if it makes sense? I am under awful stress & awful stress at home. I have zero support at home, so it would be a bit of a refuge.
I will start: I can't get through so much of what I need to do, so I'm breaking it down in to a couple of areas to try to accomplish:
1. Stop smoking cigarettes
2. Check in here each day & be honest
3. Do my back exercises
4. Do not act on SI (happens when I try to quit)
Would anyone want to join me? Does anyone want to be accountable for anything they need to do daily in their life, eg. responsibilities, weight-loss/ gain, addictions, self-care etc? (Without self-reproach or shame or self-blame). Just accountability & reminders of why we're doing it & support/ tips. One goal.
What do you think? (I'm down to one cigarette which I'm about to light & I don't want to buy more. :nailbiting: )
I'm hoping a daily goal accomplished may help accomplish more goals, maybe lead to better grounding & self-esteem or self-worth, get through the hardest parts, & lead to some new realizations. Maybe we can shed some light on each other's struggles, & roll it in to other goals.
Thanks to all! :)
