First official reboot attempt and abstinence observations

So this is my first time posting in the reboot section. Mostly I've just been an observer for the past couple of months. But I really want to make an effort to start anew and forge a new life, so I signed up just recently. Ultimately, my goal is to reboot fully in a 90 day period, but I'm shooting for 30 days as a first time small goal.

In the last two months my biggest streak has been 12 days. I always set out to go the full month so this less than two week streak seemed like a small accomplishment in hindsight. But let me tell you, I had never been more focused in life. As someone who has struggled with A.D.D. this is truly a revelation. Normally to keep my attention on any little task for a period of time I need to blast music in a room, or slip on some headphones. Typically I can't even think straight with out having some kind of background mental stimulation. Maybe leaving a show on TV without really watching or playing with something in my hands helps to function. I'm the kind of guy who constantly finds himself in a room not knowing how he got there or what the hell he's doing. A perpetually twitchy fidgeter.

Going 12 days without PMO'ing was like being born again. All of these symptoms nearly disappeared by the end. By day 7 they had subsided significantly. The "brain fog" had lifted. But it was more then that. Between the "hunter-gatherer vs. farmer" mental wiring I was still a hunter; I still took in multiple thoughts, observing many things in an environment at once. A multi task-er. But I had a train of thought, not being consumed by being constantly jerked in different directions without the ability to actually process anything.

My current streak is 4 days and I plan to continue. School just started this week and I'm enrolled So I have direction, and focus. I think it'll be a good semester.

Good luck fellow fapstronauts!
