Milestone
One hundred sixteen days sober. Morning: 8hrs very deep sleep, vivid dreams, very groggy, somatic symptoms present, loud frequencies (first time since Day 107-108 peak), mood 5. Day described as boring. All work done. Went out to capture driving footage for podcasts (productive boredom). Evening: fog 3, rubble 5, empty head, anhedonia. The pattern holds: low precedes upgrade, and the days following elevation (Day 114-115 mood 6-7) bring a correction wave. Frequencies loud, cognition empty, mood flat but not crashed. This is not regression. This is the sawtooth at higher elevation. Paying the price for the last few good days. Will likely rally tomorrow. Fog 3. Rubble 5. Fuel normal. Immune 10. Mood 5. Boring day. Productive boring day. The scaffold holds.
Cognitive State
**Cognitive State:** Empty head. Anhedonia. Boring but productive (captured footage). Frequencies loud.

Creative Output
'- Captured driving footage for podcasts (Scottish countryside, roads, visual library) - TikTok days 5-7 summary deployed (from Airtable query) - All work completed
Strategic Developments
'- [Pattern: Correction Wave] — Low precedes upgrade. Days following elevation (114-115) bring a correction wave (Day 116: fog 3, rubble 5, loud frequencies, empty head). Not regression. Sawtooth at higher elevation. - [Gold-Note: Frequencies Loud Again] — First time since Day 107-108 peak. Brain retuning in bursts. Venting phase may include frequency spikes. - [Signal: Productive Boring Day] — Captured footage for podcasts. Not just sitting in the flat. Phase 2 habits while still in Phase 1. - [Pattern: Empty Head + Anhedonia] — Fog 3, rubble 5. Cognitive and emotional symptoms both present. Correction wave after several days of lower scores. - [Expectation: Rally Tomorrow] — Pattern suggests tomorrow will be better. The low is the compression before expansion.

Day 116. The correction wave. Frequencies loud again. Fog 3. Rubble 5. Empty head. Anhedonia. Paying the price for the last few good days. But boring was productive — captured driving footage for the podcasts. The scaffold holds. The map expands. Tomorrow will likely rally. The low is not the end. It's the compression before the expansion.
Cause
Day 116 of cannabis cessation + correction wave after elevation (Days 114-115) + loud frequencies + empty head + anhedonia
Improvement
Productive boring day (footage captured). Pattern recognised (correction wave, not regression). Expectation of rally tomorrow. No crisis. The sawtooth continues.
