It still does the job

Achieving a recent positive milestone in life meant, or so I thought, that I wouldn't need the ill-advised coping mechanism I picked up not too long ago.

But as of that particular event, which was just over a month ago, I have still resorted to said coping mechanism. Twice. 

And no, it was never a daily affair, even prior to the uplifting milestone. Not that it can't be done daily but if I did perform it daily, it would've meant that I legitimately needed DIRE intervention. That being said, twice in a month is still plenty.

I know what triggered it but I didn't realise that the trigger would have had as much weight anymore considering the aforementioned milestone event seemed like it lifted off at least half the proverbial load I bear.

Maybe the landmark event wasn't as effectual as I thought it would be.

Maybe I still bear most of the weight having only lost but a fraction of it.
