Another thing I wanted to say...when I entered and seen a notification from your username...it had the same effect on me, personally, as I was confessing here, in this post: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/back-at-the-base-of-the-mountain-ive-already-climbed-once-hold-my-beer.239100/page-60#post-2578746 .

Thank you.

Anyway - stop playing with fire, and minimize your setback. Don't go half-assed about it. Watch out for the chaser effect (search for it if unsure what it means). You don't want to change this into a binge (watch out for the chaser effect).

[continued] Different brains react differently in case of a relapse...even for me...sometimes it was worse, sometimes didn't even miss a bit. But in the long run, you pay a price - so don't test your limits. Do the right thing, forgetting what you've left behind.

God bless.

Thanks, man! I was tested yesterday...quite hard...I still have it because I didn't give in. No rocket science.

Indeed! Kind regards from me too :)

(kind regards?) I mean: shine on you crazy diamonds!

Thanks, @icebreaker polarstern . Now that's a name I haven't seen for a day or two 'round here...:)

Succes! :)

Thank you, my dear friend, I surely appreciate it! It depends how you look at it: from one perspective - GREAT! From another...I realize it was only my lack of wisdom that kept me so far behind.

Have all the lessons have, finally, been learned? We'll see. I bet they have...

Yep, man, I feel like some kind of icebreaker! :D Peace!

Thank you, it feels good, man! Join me!

I just checked - and your streak is just as respectable, my friend! Congrats!

I sure am. Heading that way :).

I appreciate it. It really warms my heart to hear that my humble contributions are regarded as motivating by others.

Thanks, man, yeah I did. I just commented on your thread - I really wish everything will happen exactly as you envisioned it or even better. You're a brave fellow.

God bless!

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

I just came back after a short break (forced by the amount of stuff I had to take care of offline). If one asked me, I couldn't even tell how many days exactly I have "in the bag", I need to go check.

Hey, thank you for the concern, I appreciate it!

I'm doing well, but I was extremely busy. I may, from time to time, need to skip on roaming around here :), even though I miss it.

How are you doing?

A little bit of everything, not quite there yet...but pushing forward :). I appreciate it!

Hey man, very nice of you to say that. Nothing (beside me beating this thing forever :) ) gives me more satisfaction 'round here than witnessing other dudes waking up, standing on their legs, raising their fists and shouting: "Enough!", then acting according to it.

I realize most of us fail, then lead lives of quiet desperation.

The saddest thing is that we are all cut out of the same cloth, good enough to make it. Although I very much believe in meritocracy, and not in participation trophies...I know very well that in this particular case I'm not overstating our abilities. We ALL can make it!

I appreciate it, buddy!

Congratulations brother!!

Thank you, guys! I appreciate it.

(I almost got my tongue into a big know trying to read your username the first time.)

Thanks! You're the second one nodding over "Saxon" on my profile :). They are really something - yet for some reason it took me quite a while to discover them. Oh well - still plenty of years until I'll go deaf ;), if ever.

It was "knot", not "know"...

Thanks. You will join me any day now.

You seem to just discover the scary but advantageous flatline. Don't ever be tempted to stress about it, accept it for what it is: a good sign.
