Here´s a powerful post from a 750 days sober brother . Have a great day my friends!!!!!!!

"You have to suffer. Yeah, you do.

You see, there are 2 forms of suffering. One is the toxic, deteriorating suffering that comes in the form of manufactured pleasure that makes you forget about all your troubles for a little while..only to sink deeper into your endless deteriorating suffering. This comes in the form of porn, unhealthy foods, inactivity etc...

Things that overstimulate your brain, jack up your dopamine system. I'm sure you're already aware of this kind of suffering, we've all gone through it, some of us still go through it.

Now, I will show you the other form in which suffering manifests.

The suffering that comes from pulling your shit together, going to the gym and lifting those heavy fucking weights, the suffering of taking that cold shower that makes your spine tingle, the suffering of sitting still for 30 minutes with a good posture to clear your mind while all kinds of shit is racing through your mind, the suffering of abstaining from eating shitty foods and mending your diet into a healthy one.

This suffering unlike the other, is not deteriorating, this suffering is...

Development, Improvement and Revitalization of your entire being. Your physical body, your mental body and your spiritual body. You live by the virtues, you become Uncommon amongst Uncommon men and women.

You are the metal that needs to be mended and forged. As we all know, metal can only be forged in extreme heat, that is when we can forge ourselves. The gym, the cold shower, all the big or small events in our lives, this is the fire.

Suffering is the fire, through the fire you become strong, healthy and happy.

You appreciate the little things, birds chirping, the cool wind blowing against you, the sound of the ocean waves hitting against the rocks. It is as if the you are aligned with the entire world, no, the entire Universe.

You keep on walking this Path. It wasn't easy for me, It wasn't easy for anyone. Be persistent, patient and vigilant.

You are not alive to watch people fuck on a screen and eat/drink/drug yourself to an early grave, you are alive to live.

I bid you good luck, friends.


Edit: Thanks for the gold and awards! I've read every reply so far and really appreciate you guys, I'll try to sum up the major questions:

When and how did I get on the "big" streak? I stopped counting the days, and made the days count. Basically, if you fap even if you're on day 49, It really doesn't matter, you keep on going. Today is all that matters.

Big changes? Doesn't happen spontaneously, it builds up little by little."
