Hi Retread
I gotta where you are regarding the "no joy in it" several weeks in during June. Strangely I drank soon after feeling that feeling to test my hypothesis... It turned out to be a joyless but familiar feeling and lasted a couple days . I rallied and then repeated the experiment in late July.
Why do we forget? There is truly no joy in it!
Keep that feeling, hang on to it and move past the struggle. I'm back at it but really and really don't want to test myself that way again but it takes resolve that I really hope I have.
Thanks for your post.
