8 days – Gildor Inglorion, an Elf, crosses your path causing a Nazgûl that was chasing you to flee. You stay the night with his company of Elves talking about your struggles with PMO. "Courage is found in unlikely places" he says. He gives you an Hithlain rope, a magical rope, light and flexible, yet extremely strong.

Day 8 in the books. Everything is going well thus far. Stay strong Fellowship!

Thank you - I just wish I could follow my own advice sometimes!
 
1 day - At Buckland, Bilbo gives you Sting - an Elven short-sword made in Gondolin. It will turn blue when porn forces are around.
Quest Item - Sting :emoji_zap:

After a lot of recovery work, planning, motivation and then relapse I'm tempted to bring my whole approach into question. But that would be stupid, wouldn't it? It was one shitty day and I'm already ready for another streak. When relapsing I also "felt obliged" to neglect my sugar rules and since did a lot to undermine my fragile but working healthy lifestlye.

My point is, I should continue like before, when all other options are clearly worse.

However, I'm also seeing that I was invested a little bit too much in my recovery - planning long ahead (expecting success) and writing a lot in the forums is also a way to push dopamine and doesn't necessarily reflect current or future progress. Also I can see that I listened a little bit too much to motivational and explanatory self-help content, while neglecting mindfulness, meditation and simple things like cleaning, getting things in order.
Yes, often it's the easy and obvious things that help me most.

But I can also see - and shouldn't neglect it - that I definitely made progress. I made two longer streaks and despite relapses I'm simply in a much better place than before.

CONCLUSION

I'l try to continue my recovery as before, but not overdo it, not get lost in details or illusions. Keep it simple, ice!
