    i finally hit 21 days today. it is an achievement for me. it is the longest i have ever gone without fapping for the last 3 years or so. I need to break this barrier. and i believe the best way to do this is to stop counting the days and focus even more on my work.

    the more i think about having a streak the more counter productive my work becomes.
    i need to devote myself to working on myself even more. I need to read more. i need to study more. develop my mental faculties more. gain more skills with respect to my interests rather than being a third person and whining about why people are doing good and i am not.

    i need to reduce reddit usage-it starts acting in a counter productive way once a certain time spent on the forum exceeds i eventually end up checking out pornographic material online which i know is detrimental to my mental state.

    i need to start doing a few things-i've written about them in the past-

    • reading books
    • coding
    • developing my persona wrt to physique
    • gather more vocab
    • increase my knowledge about the finance field as i am about to enetr it and i'm a newbie.
    i've written about them in the past but i took on all of them all at once-it ended up being too much on my plate and i ended up spilling it all.

    Whatever you're doing that helps, keep doing it. Just persevere in activities/practices that support your mental health. Stress is the biggest killer for me. Sadness too. Find things that inspire you. Get plenty of rest and eat well. Forge good friendships if you can. Go to church or practice meditation. The streak doesn't matter; it's just a number. A line graph goes up and down all the time, even when the bigger picture is going upward. Your health is what matters. Stay focused on what's important. You got this. God bless

    Reddit is certainly less harmful than TikTok or Instagram. It can be a means of relapse, though. Posts past posts of mindless browsing. Social media mimics how porn sites are purposely designed. I think in time society will regret what the internet is turning people into. However, it will not be until it becomes emotionally exhausting.

    Focus on things that construct concentration. It can be reading a book or even hearing an audiobook. Working out is a manner of burning the energy excess. The first nocturnal emission after porn is very much delayed, but don’t worry, it gets more frequent in time. It is not like tension is building nonstop.

    Congrats, you made up the first three weeks! Maintain this streak and urges will get increasingly easier up to the 65-70 day. Then self-control will develop more slowly. Don’t listen to any mind trick. To fap could make you feel good for two hours at most. Then you would be even more miserable than before.
