    Hey everybody! I'm challenging myself to 90 days of no PMO and, unlike previous attempts, want to celebrate milestone along the way (5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, etc). I'm eager to try this because part of why previous reboot attempts of mine have failed is because I forgot to take it day by day; I got caught up in a sense of "wait, so I have to do this every day for the rest of my life??" and it felt overwhelming. So, I think celebrating milestones will help keep me in the moment, take it day by day, and also serve as positive reinforcement.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of ways to celebrate these milestones? Every day that I'm clean, I have a mini-celebration in my mind, but I want to do something extra on bigger days. Maybe have a special meal or watch a movie/show I love. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas, so I'm open to anything!

    I also decided to make a paper chain for every day I'm clean so that I can see my progress. Every morning, I cut a strip of colored construction paper and add it to the chain (and I'll start the chain over if I relapse). It's kind of silly, but I like to visualize my progress, and the physical process of assembling the chain gives me a small moment to reflect on my success and re-commit to continuing forward.
