Even if I will succeed by some way, it's gonna be luck

    So I have been fighting this for 4 years. The biggest streaks: 90 , 120 and 70 days.
    However I would say that 70 days one was the toughest and, therefore , the one i am the most proud of. Why ? because it was during the pandemic when we had to stay at home.

    What I did : workout ( 30 mins/day,) meditation ( 1 hour a day), reading,journaling, working and attending my master degree.

    If I will ever succeed, I don't think it will be because of some master plan, and some mindset you hear about from public speakers from youtube. I think it will be purely luck.

    Why do I relapse?
    Because I am bored. Because of the pandemic, I can't be always thrilled, excited, and not having many friends will eventually make space for those boring moments in the day when your mind and body crave for exciting feelings. And the only option left is PMO.

    You would say that it is not the bad luck , but the pandemic which is an exceptional situation. But what about those who can't go out because of other reasons ? What about those who are placed in remote villages and are very poor and can't go to a big city to take up activities so that they find a way out of this vicious cycle ?

    It seems like if I need something as superficial as taking dance lessons so I can socialise with others, in order to quit, and if I can't do it without these external stimulus , then it's about luck.

    It won’t be luck bro. It will be either you are committed no excuses and no matter what or you are uncommitted because you have moments of weakness like all of us. Building your strength during those moments is imperative to your recovery and indeed your survival, if they didn’t require strength then they would not be weaknesses. Luck will have nothing to do with it. Bad luck didn’t get us all to where we ended up and good luck won’t get us out of it. Harness every fibre of your being and channel it, focus it towards the end goal which, as I imagine it is for us all, to be become whole again. To become a fully functioning human being again. Maybe for a lot of us for the first time as adults. Change your mind brother and everything else will change too. Stay strong or get stronger. Peace
