  2. Hey @RiseToGreatness do I have to color code it every time I say I am going to level up? It gets annoying doing it.

    of course not :D, but if you decide to add the challenge to your signature, then it would be good to keep the respective character color ;)

    insomnia is pretty common in addictions. try to have a fixed schedule to sleep and wake up, that will help. also avoid eletronic screens before bed, as they emanate blue light that can cause dry eyes and difficulties to sleep. Let´s go bro, one day at a time.

    18 days my brothers. Here´s a powerful excerpt from rebooting as the best remedy. Have a nice day :)

    "Every day in the rebooting forums we can see brothers that have relapsed, the posts that they make following a relapse is always marked with great remorse. Some brothers would call relapses “battlefield casualty”, I think this is a very good description; rebooting is like waging a battle, we are all brothers in the same trench. We are saddened by the sight of another brother becoming a casualty, this should, of course, spur us into rebooting and to maintain our vigilance. The enemy camp is constantly shelling us with pink shells, the rebooting articles are our bulletproof armor. We must increase our efforts in studying rebooting articles and in doing so increase our awareness and the level of our determination. If you should let down your guard, the next battlefield casualty might be you. When we see inappropriate pictures or videos we must immediately dodge them, we must exercise the same caution to porn as we do towards tigers and incoming arrows, we must be equipped with this kind of awareness. To reboot for good, the awareness must be strong which is obtained through studies. Awareness and vigilance give us the hope to successfully reboot.

    For those brothers that have relapsed, there is no need to be discouraged, nobody can manage to reboot in one try and there will be many failures before success. Before I my successful rebooted I had also failed many times, so many times that I have lost count. I was unable to get out of the vicious circle for well over a decade because at the time I was in a state of ignorance with nobody to guide me and nobody to tell me what to do. Afterwards, having taken up rebooting studies my determination increased. Roughly after a year of studying rebooting articles and health cultivation, my awareness increased by leaps and bounds, through it I gained deeper thinking and understanding. It is under these circumstances that I had successfully rebooted.

    There are 2 types of errors that are easy to make during reboot:
    1. Rebooting without studying about rebooting
    2. Rebooting without cultivating the health

    Rebooting without studying is the same as brute force and blindly rebooting which both guarantees failure. This is because the level of determination has not been raised; after the hibernation period for desire is over, we arrive at the peak period for relapse, once there the urge to relapse is irresistible which is often followed by multiple relapses, all
    previous efforts have been washed away. I have mentioned the importance of rebooting studies countless times in the previous articles. If you don’t study you won’t be in the knowing, your awareness will not increase and expand. Once you have reached a certain stage in your studies your determination will rise, with the determination you are able to defeat the temptation demon, or else every encounter with the temptation demon will result in defeat. It is hard to avoid starting off from a low level when we first begin our reboot, suppose that the temptation demon is at level 100 but your determination is only at level 15, how do could you resist the temptation? Only through studying about reboot can we raise the level of determination, once the level has been raised, temptation demon can no longer budge us. To relapse is not scary, the scary thing is to not study because the result from that is continuous relapses and our inability to escape from the vicious circle."

  13. Day 5: Found out I’m being laid off temporarily starting tomorrow. Had to file for unemployment for the first time in my life. Hopefully it’s the only time I ever have to do it. It’s going to be tough both mentally and financially. Just need to start focused on my goals and not give into the urges that may come around.
