    Nope, already broke the fast. Alexei Anatolievich apparently gave up on day 24. Pretty lame compared to Jesus with 40 days. Who can't compete with breatharians who never eat anything at all. Apparently some evolutionary cross edge from plants allows them to make glucose out of sunlight.

    Performance plot update:

    streaks.png

    Feeling vulnerable for the moment. I've had exactly the same feeling just before previous relapses. So now is the question if I'm going to go in my previous footsteps or if I have the power to overcome this feeling. Who is in control? Is it me or is it the addictive part of my brain that control my actions? When I think the thought "Fall for it, it's so good..." who is injecting this thought in my head? Is it me or is the addictive part of my brain that is trying to deceive me? The answer to that question is pretty obvious I would say... which means the vulnerable state I am in is clearly a result of the addictive part of my brain playing tricks.

    Distrust all emotions not shared with others. This emotion is not mine. It's my addictive brain that is trying to take back control. As long as I'm not responding to it, the feeling will fade away and my addiction will become weaker. I am not giving up.

  15. @100% You can make a long-lasting difference by choosing the right thing, and getting the positive internal feedback from it.

  19. Bang 0/6. My confidence is not high, and I didn't even reach my goal. The only I can do is try again.

    Still here my friend! Still fighting this vile addiction!

    Was working a lot lately and tried to track my successes more offline by journaling last months, though they are more failures in the last weeks. I found offline journaling to be great for me, reached step 6 in one effort, wich I was very proud of. But a bad and extremely stressful day at work made me relapse and since then I lost momentum...

    I highly recommend journaling, guys! It gets you more into the mindset of reflecting on your own actions (both successes and failures) and the prompts to them. I used this tracking system () (as a habit: no PM and my most important triggers, and I reflected on my steps every step of the fourteen steps challenge.)

    Currently on day 3/3
    Thanks for thinking about us/me! @The Great Safecracker
