Chopp's Search for a Perfect Storm of Pleasure - AM6 Journey

Stage 1 Day 32

I started Stage 1 on the night of October 14th, so tonight I switch over to Stage 2. I think that is right?

I've had changes in Stage 1, but they are different than I expected. I am less social at the moment, and I've stopped visiting my favorite bar, which I was doing a couple of nights a week. I've started to see the people there in a new light, and I don't want to be around them at the moment.

Procrastination is much lower, and I am having a hard time sitting still when I'm at home. I've started painting the rooms in my house, and I'm planning on redoing my floor next, both of which are huge projects. I felt overwhelmed with the task before, but that has been replaced with a feeling of "I MUST DO THIS NOW."

I've had more interactions with women before I stopped visiting my bar, but nothing really worth reporting on in detail. I may try online dating again if I feel like it during Stage 2. I've had a couple of women at work approach me out of nowhere and start chatting, which is new. I have no interest in pursuing them, because being co-workers it could risk my career.

I have more stories, but I'm not really in the mood to type them all out. I'm really looking forward to Stage 2, even though I am trying to avoid anticipating what changes may come to pass.
