    brother, i think that strategy of resetting the counter with minimum reason can be overwhelming and demotivating in the long run. abstaining from pmo is already hard enough, no need to through in extra pressure. remember everytime we reset we sense that the reboot is on halt, and that´s not true. so the reason to reset should be strong and self evident.

    to avoid those kind of behaviours and boost the reboot, i´ll update the challenge an create some side quests. stay tuned ;)

    5 days my brothers. Here´s a good excerpt from "rebooting as the best remedy". have a nice day.

    "Brothers with a PMO history of over 10 years tend to run into the problem of going bald, those that were born in the 80s have a higher chance of running into this issue. Many factors lead to hair loss, the common reason is due to kidney deficiency induced by masturbation. Going bald causes much anxiety among people because hair is important to one’s physical appearance. The impression that baldness gives out is that of premature aging and the lack of spirit. Many brothers would lose 100 strands of hair or more each day. Looking at the hair in the comb and in the basin gives one the feeling of panic, the panic towards going bald is disconcerting and leads one to become abnormally sensitive towards hair loss, the loss of a strand of hair would cause nervousness for a hours. Living in a state of constant worry and panic causes additional hair loss. According to TCM: fear hurts the kidneys, the splendor of the hair lies in the kidneys. Therefore it is easy to fall into the vicious circle, one looks everywhere for an antidote. But no matter what the medicine is, the effect will not be satisfactory, thus the psychological pressure becomes greater and one cares a great deal about the opinions of other people. One may also be afraid to look into the mirror for fear of seeing diminished hair count, even the thought of suicide would crop up. The issue of going bald places a person in a predicament that the person is incapable of escaping from. Many people would channel this frustration into acts of masturbation which would cause even more hair loss. In the end, one may end up with a “Mediterranean” style bald spot.

    The hairline of many brothers have already begun to recede upwards, some people would begin to go bald from the crown of the head which is what happened to me. Some days I would lose several hundred strands of hair, after having combed my hair I would see all those hair on my shoulders, that is too scary! This went on for several months and the scalp at the crown of head started to become more visible. Fortunately at the time, I already recognized the true face of the harmlessness theories in masturbation, moreover, I had gained a relatively deep understanding about TCM. Consequently, I rebooted with haste, exercised regularly, slept early and slowly accumulated the kidney qi. Roughly half a year later I would lose around 5 strands of hair daily. If I comb my hair nowadays I would not see any hairs on the comb and very few hairs on the pillow.

    I wouldn’t dare to masturbate anymore because I have realized the bitterness of its harm. Many brothers are still in the ignorance stage, ignorant people are not fearful, they have not fully comprehended the evil fruit brought forth by masturbation. Some brothers are even still mesmerized by the harmlessness theories, after losing hair they still don’t know the real reason and continues to masturbate, channeling the psychological pressure into the act of masturbation. In doing so one sinks ever deeper into the trap of the vicious circle which makes hair loss even more difficult to recover from. Because there are blind spots and misconceptions in the understanding, no matter what medicine we take we will not be able to solve the problem from its root. If kidney qi is not cultivated into abundance then the issue of losing hair will not find a solution. This is analogous with a pot of plant when the leaves have withered we think there’s a problem with the leaves and we thus remove them, but after a while, all leaves would wither away and the plant dies. An expert would spot the problem right away and would dig out the soil and apply for medicine onto the roots which enable the plant to live on. The hair follows the same principle, we must recognize the reason from its roots and not become mesmerized by outer appearances, relying on some overpromoted products in hopes to treat hair loss is not a realistic approach. Even if you have hair transplanted, as long as the kidney qi is not abundant the hair would still fall out unless you repeatedly undergo the same procedure which would be far too expensive for the average person."
