    well, maybe it was inevitable, maybe it was the lengh of time that you could handle clean, so far.

    you said that for years you didn´t reach this far in sobriety, that means you made a huge breakthrought. i say keep going brother, because you´re on the right path.

    Treebeard: Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn.
    Pippin: I'm sorry, Treebeard.
    Treebeard: They had voices of their own... Saruman... A wizard should know better!
    [He gives a loud yell which echoes across the landscape]
    Treebeard: There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery!
    [More Ents emerge from the woods, following Treebeard]
    Pippin: Look, the trees! They're moving!
    Merry: Where are they going?
    Treebeard: They have business with the Orcs. My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone!
    [More Ents emerge from the woods, joining Treebeard]
    Treebeard: Come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents.

    Here´s an important analysis on the balance between habits and long term goals. From the book "atomic habits", page 20.

    "The impact created by a change in your habits is similar to the
    effect of shifting the route of an airplane by just a few degrees.

    Imagine you are flying from Los Angeles to New York City. If a pilot
    leaving from LAX adjusts the heading just 3.5 degrees south, you
    will land in Washington, D.C., instead of New York. Such a small
    change is barely noticeable at takeoff—the nose of the airplane
    moves just a few feet—but when magnified across the entire United
    States, you end up hundreds of miles apart.

    Similarly, a slight change in your daily habits can guide your life
    to a very different destination. Making a choice that is 1 percent
    better or 1 percent worse seems insignificant in the moment, but
    over the span of moments that make up a lifetime these choices
    determine the difference between who you are and who you could
    be. Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime
    transformations.

    That said, it doesn’t matter how successful or unsuccessful you
    are right now. What matters is whether your habits are putting you
    on the path toward success. You should be far more concerned with
    your current trajectory than with your current results. If you’re a
    millionaire but you spend more than you earn each month, then
    you’re on a bad trajectory. If your spending habits don’t change, it’s
    not going to end well. Conversely, if you’re broke, but you save a
    little bit every month, then you’re on the path toward financial
    freedom—even if you’re moving slower than you’d like.

    Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. Your net
    worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits. Your weight is a
    lagging measure of your eating habits. Your knowledge is a lagging
    measure of your learning habits. Your clutter is a lagging measure of
    your cleaning habits. You get what you repeat.

    If you want to predict where you’ll end up in life, all you have to
    do is follow the curve of tiny gains or tiny losses, and see how your
    daily choices will compound ten or twenty years down the line. Are
    you spending less than you earn each month? Are you making it
    into the gym each week? Are you reading books and learning
    something new each day? Tiny battles like these are the ones that
    will define your future self.

    Time magnifies the margin between success and failure. It will
    multiply whatever you feed it. Good habits make time your ally. Bad
    habits make time your enemy.

    Habits are a double-edged sword. Bad habits can cut you down
    just as easily as good habits can build you up, which is why
    understanding the details is crucial. You need to know how habits
    work and how to design them to your liking, so you can avoid the
    dangerous half of the blade."

    Day 0 @RiseToGreatness

    Made it 24 days without PMO, though my slide started on day 22 when I ogled some attractive women only. I have a 96% clean rate since I started my global counter after my last relapse.

    Best,
