I made it to 30 days!!I want to start with quoting Lesley Brown: "And if simply you go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith hope and confidence, and stir importunacity, if neither cold, poverty, famish or goat, sickness or pain of body and brain can keep you away from the thing that you want, if goggled and grim you besiege and beset it, with the help of God YOU WILL GET IT!" I used to perceive posters on this thread as role models who are impossible to reach after having many relapses at 7,15, and at max 20, but now, thanks to who continued encouraging me on this post I made it! The benefits: Cleared brain Better performance during either workouts or Soccer/ Basketball / Volleyball games Disappeared guilt Stronger willpower More "alive" looking Better sleep More resistance to distractions(triggering or non-triggering) Happier life ...... Tips: -Workout as much as you can(I do Bodyweight exercises and you can search the for all kinds of them almost anywhere online) -Follow a self rewarding schedule(after 7,14,21,and 28 Days and so on) -Consider searching for anything that might threaten your streak a relapse, believe me that'll keep you away -Never leave yourself idle to boredom, -Participate in competitive challenges(e.g. a last man standing challenge) Next goal: 90 DAYS
Congratulations to all of you! We all cracked the 30-day barrier! My withdrawal symptoms were horrendous! The worst is over but I'm always fighting to remain free from PM. Someday I'll find that special peace from all the struggle. May all you too!
Thanks My rewards were 7: getting myself some chocolate and candy 14: watching a stand up special 21:buying someone I care for a gift (e.g bought my parents some flowers) 28: running in the morning with bunch of friends and then having breakfast together at Cora's 30: writing this very post 37:still thinking about one... Here's a list for some ideas https://www.developgoodhabits.com/reward-yourself/
