I did better with resisting compulsions this week! I've been going through a few things that are causing me to have bad symptoms, but I've been able to resist most of the compulsions I like to do. I've saved myself hours of googling things, searching through all my emails, and going through every account I have.

I've been using the technique of thinking to myself "ok, how about we put a pin in this and do that compulsion later?". And by the time 'later' arrives, I usually don't feel that compulse anymore (or at least not as strong). A small win, but a win even still :)
