Anyone up for one week pause?

The same muddled thoughts as before, but then started to re listen to illuminatingjoy on making lists of wins... and I’m working on that list. It helps. Again just lots of little moments of a feeling anxious and choice to either dwell on it, or just stop and do something else, to shift or not give in that further feeds anxiety

I've been doing a lot of acceptance-based work...
I try to accept that I don't understand my POI's actions and probably never will.
I try to accept that I feel anxiety.
I try to accept that I feel sad.
Fighting my emotions makes it even harder and sucks more energy... "I shouldn't feel sad," "I shouldn't feel anxious"... those kinds of statements in my brain just make everything worse.
I do feel sad, anxious, upset... and that's OK.

Great job! I swear, the longer you go without getting a reading the better you will feel. It really does get easier.

I've still made some calls this week. So much for my accountability having started this thread. Not binging at least, but not what I want. I still wanted to post this because I think it's important that we celebrate smaller victories and show some compassion with ourselves, too.

I feel like after all the good I did yesterday I had an emotional tantrum, gave into intrigue and gave into drinking then sleeping the day. So new day today, just keep getting up. Have I called or chatted? ... sigh no. And that matters too! I am worth investing this time back into me.

Congrats! A lot better than my week.
I didn't have a great evening. I need to examine WHY I am calling before doing so. Tonight I read with some people who were new to me, and the readings were just terrible. Absolutely no new information, the readers didn't even sound that into it. Just throwing money away. Pointless. I don't feel any better or worse other than I'm upset at the money I just threw away today. It's sickening.

Oh gosh, no apologies necessary!
I'm glad that you are not calling and happy this thread helped you in a way. Congrats!!
Today was a good day for me. I came to terms with the amount of money I've been spending over the last couple of months and made a plan for paying it off.
I'm just done for a while calling readers who are new to me, even if this forum likes them. I felt so sickened last night after I tried a few new people who just sucked for me despite their glowing reputations and reviews. (Most didn't give negative predictions -- they just didn't feel in tune with anything.)
I'm OK with some calls to a very small handful of readers I already know I like. I do benefit from the guidance of a select few. But I need to reduce the amount of times I'm calling them and the duration of my calls.
The LOA stuff is great, I agree, I think mainly because it feels like we are releasing some of that need to control (which is why I get readings) and rather putting it into trust.
