The START 2021 STRONGER Challenge [CLOSED]

OK, friends. It is with great sadness that I report that I let myself get a little too comfortable, pursued intimacy with my wife, got rejected, and relapsed afterwards. This leaves me in a tough spot because moving forward as a decision maker that broke the rules simply is not acceptable.

I've seen much feedback towards allowing folks to stay in the challenge after relapse. I've seen suggestions for changing the tiers, limiting relapses to ___ per week. I knew going in this would be tough to be a one fail challenge. I was hopeful it would be the motivation needed. Maybe for some that is what is needed.

Options:

1. No change. Those with strikes are disqualified and placed in any tier they earned placement in. (Tier 4 if 14 days)

2. The challenge IS still open for enrollment. Allowing relapses prior to that would be an easiest fix if the group wants to go there. I'd remove the strike counter and after 20 September it would be one strike and you're eliminated and placed in the highest tier qualified for.

3. I have already begun putting red "x" strikes next to participants that relapsed. We could adopt a 2,3,4,5, strike system for elimination. I am worried about this. I think it is a big incentive to relapse every 20-30 days subconsciously.

4. Possibly the fourth(and best) option is to continue to use the strikes, and as @thikk suggested allow participants to still compete for whatever tier they can achieve. The strikes will be the tiebreaker if you will. So if two members reach 90 days and one has 2 strikes and the other has 3 strikes...the 2 strike guy will be listed at the top of his tier (1st place). If you reach 18 days and have 7 strikes, who knows, you could in fact be the first place finisher for tier 4.

Okay brothers....discuss.

 

I think both options 2 and 4 are good ones. I'll go with whatever you decide though.

Day 2 here. Had a pretty rough morning but I won't be using it as an excuse to act out.

 

You just did. Love the monicker. Welcome to the challenge brother.

Looking for feedback. Will give it some time before we make any decision. I am hopeful everyone can stay on track. According to my math, OCT 3rd is the drop dead date for a 90 day reboot prior to the new year. I've even considered pushing the enrollment date to 01 OCT for that reason. Keep in mind, I relapsed on 30 AUG, hence the start date for me...personal motivation and incentive aside, this is a group challenge.

 

Also, considering adding a LEGEND tier for those with over 100 days. Platinum would be reserved for 90-99 days. Legendary participants would receive a by their name. Participants that start by the 20th would qualify if the refrain from relapse.

 

Hell yeah, brother. Lets get after it. Welcome to the challenge!

 

Count me in.
I'm on Day 7 buddy...
Finiishing 2020 strong

 

I am completely new and yield to you more experienced guys to define the rules for the challenge. All guys love to compete so this is great!

this newbie is day 4!!!!!

 

Agreed. I am hoping for more than just logging on and saying "Day 30". There are plenty of those.

 

Got you added, man. Welcome to the challenge. Wishing you strength to finish this year strong and go into 2021 in BEAST MODE

 

Please see the following change made to the post. I copied some stuff from other challenges I have seen. The peeking has been removed as it is a confusing word and in my opinion, you're looking at Porn or not. I added a section for cautionary actions like you've experienced. Stay strong brother!!!

 

I'm joining! Let's Do this!
