    Day 54:emoji_fire:

    I think you're doing an absolutely amazing job @Paul S., for holding on despite your struggles. Visualize yourself climbing 90 degrees up a mountain, and that your 71 days is 71 meters. If you slip now, you would probably fall badly, hurt yourself with unforgiveness, and suffer for a long time by the chaser effect. In other words: It's not worth it! Just relax and continue what you are doing right now. I really count on you brother, we all do!

    @kaerhal, if you carry out all of this, you'll get all my credit and respect. Initiative and responsibility (as you've already shown!) are the two most underrated key actions in this community, and gives you so much advantages in your daily life. Kudoz on you for all of this, and I'm look forward to see the updates and how it goes!

    The PMO forces were at your tail but you crossed the Ford of Bruinen, leaving them behind. The House of Elrond is in sight!

    Thank you, bro! Motivating words. Not sure about relaxing, but I'll try to keep going.

    It’s been a tough week. I relapsed again and binged for a while. However, I’m back here again - ready to give it another shot. Day 1 in the books. Stay strong Fellowship!

    1 day - At Buckland, Bilbo gives you Sting - an Elven short-sword made in Gondolin. It will turn blue when porn forces are around.
    Quest Item - Sting :emoji_zap:

    Alas! I stumbled again while on LinkedIn, of all places! Now that the Reset Jitters are out, it is time to go on another record-breaking streak!

    170 days – Lord Elrond, on the wings of Gwaihir, meets your path. “My Lord, here is a new sword for you, rebuilt from the shards of Narsil!”. Very bright was the sword when made whole again, the light of the sun shone redly in it and the light of the moon shone cold.

    Grasping the sword you declare to all land: “This is Andúril, Flame of the West! May it lighten my path and vanquish the perils ahead!

    Quest Item - Andúril :emoji_dagger:

    Day 9

    Spent a lot of time studying addiction, reflecting, and journaling. I also told my parents about my addiction, and it was incredibly freeing.

    Day 10

    Glad to be well over a week clean. Watched an online lecture about addiction and how it works in the brain, had some great information that helped me understand how I can avoid relapsing.

    When conditions change with time and circumstances, so do our choices. The opposite of addiction is connection.

    Day 2 in the books. I’ve felt pretty down all day - not sure why. I just want to be free of this. It’s hard to have a positive mindset when I’ve slipped up so many times. Here’s to hoping tomorrow is a little better. Stay strong Fellowship!
