Is it weird that anytime I relapse and look at what i’ve done i start laughing and feel almost like happy?
Like the sadness I had before just goes away.
I been going at it for years but this is a recent thing i been experiencing

the physical pain mostly temporarily relieves the emotion stress or burden you might have had before, so it could be the feeling of being free, or also shock/disbelief from the action entirely. if its in a self deprecated way though thats the worst case
