My goal was 0 days with unhealthy coping skills. # of day I used unhealthy coping skill count
Jan 2024 - 2 days
Feb 2024 - 1 day
compared to last year, same goal
Jan 2023- 1 day
Feb 2023 - available electronic data says from Feb 1-15, I had 1 day with unhealthy skills. I do have the data on paper but it's in OK and I'm in ME. I have it electronically but it's in the womens weekly threads and IDK if rappstar archived those when he cancelled the womens ;-)
CONCLUSION: Performance equal to or better than last Feb for the month of February.

How are you doing?
My 2024 resolution was no days w/ unhealthy coping skills (I'm not going into what these are at the moment). I had 2 days. I think in January of last year I had 0 (I made the same goal. I'm still trying to change the same thing, and I'm annoyed at that, now that I'm writing it and realizing it). But two days also represents 29 days of not using those unhealthy coping skills and on many of those days I had to try REALLY hard.
I read something useful today, which was to the effect of 'the gap [between insight and action] looks much larger than it really is.' That felt helpful and resonated. So, on March 1, look for a thread in which I tell you I had 0 days with unhealthy coping skills.
gosh darn it I really wish I could say I had a totally healthy coping skill month. On April 1 look for my "made it w 0 days using unhealthy skills!" thread on THIS thread, not the April fools one...
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
