I'm wondering if others are in this situation; I should mention this has happened to me more than once.
I start taking excellent care of myself, physically, emotionally, even nutritionally. After months of adherring diligently to his health kick, I look and feel good. But I also feel increasingly manic. There's a strong pull to go back to being bad: Drinking, partying, staying out late. I manage to keep these longings at bay with even more exercise to exhaust myself, and keeping myself out of trigger environments--bars, SCs, late nights downtown with edgy friends. Yet keeping myself isolated doesn't seem a reasonable, long-term strategy either. And, just maybe, working so hard at staying so clean may intensify the Siren call of the nightlife activities, making my eventual stumble more dramatic and excessive than it might have been otherwise.
Anyone else have these issues? Any advice?![]()
