Your vlogs are awesome. It is good to see how motivated are you on the 3th day. Your days are always productive. Itās motivational.
Iām currently on day 1 and I am lazy as hell.
Best wishes brotherš

Thank you bro.
In the past, I would do nothing productive until I had reached a certain number of days clean. I told myself that being clean was enough, and that I will start working hard when Iāve regained my energy.
But then, I would always relapse and continue the cycle. I never got anything done because I was always postponing things until some future date. When Iām 2 weeks clean, a month, after I complete my 90 day reboot.
But life wonāt wait for me to catch up. If I start work 3 months from now, then Iām 3 months behind where I could have been. I have important work to do. My goals call out to me every morning, telling me not to sleep too long. If I donāt accomplish them, no one else will, and the world will be worse off.

Got to know about your relapse just now. I know u are a wise man. Just texting you to let u know we are with you. Though the degree of pain and uncertainity vary among us , I am also in a rough road like you. Nothing more to add. All the best !! This trash addiction is never worth it.

Thanks for your support man.
This rough road that weāre on is an opportunity for us to prove ourselves. We will show that nothing can break our determination 
The addiction is over, we will focus on building a better life

What a good way of thinking. I like it
We need changes immediately.
I try to change things but it is hard when you are addicted.

Which is why I believe that too much focus on the streak number can also be a distractor. It can lead us to be overconfident (oh well iāve reached XX days, now I can peek and ātestā myself) and also plummet our confidence if we do relapse (Iāve reached XX days yet I still failed, I can never succeed).
While I think the streak count is a helpful tool at encouraging oneself, too much focus on it and it becomes and imaginary ladder and almost like a self-imposed boundary. You start to think āOh, I can only do something if I obtain XX daysā, āOh, I am useless until I reach XX daysā. The truth is, we are absolutely able to quit at day 0 just as much as we are able to CHOOSE not to PMO at day 1000. Anyone at day 1000 had the same decision that they made at their day 0: that it would be their last day and they would NEVER PMO again. Itās the same concept, all it takes is the choice.
Make it happen mate. You are never falling in that pit again.

Absolutely true bro. This is the true attitude. No need to think so much about streak, it just makes us fearful of relapse. We choose to be free and embrace life, and we are free now

I am on day 11 now and my mindset about PMO didnāt changed one bit since day 0 and if it doesnāt changes in future, I might be on some day 300-400 with the same mindset.
Number of days is just a proof, nothing else.
I made a shit decision last month when I had a 130+ day streak and I felt more weaker at that time even tho the streak was big compared to now. What we do and our mindset matters, delaying things till we make a streak itself shows you still havenāt got the mindset required to get out of PMO.

Hello bro. How long will it take you to upload your video in YT ? Like your last video is 5 min long. So how much time it will take for you to practice , editing etc ?

Iāve been there bro. Start with what youāre capable of. Itās like weightlifting. When you start, even the lowest weights may be challenging. But you increase slowly as you improve and youāll discover you can become much stronger.
Set out your goals and make daily steps towards them. Make steps that are small enough that they arenāt too challenging for you when your mood is low and you donāt have much energy, but large enough that you are still making an impact on your life. Start from the beginning, day 1. It is a huge change in mindset. Youāre telling yourself that youāre no longer an addict - when I was an addict, I was lazy and unproductive, Iām not an addict anymore, look at the results Iām producing in my life.
Words of wisdom 
I completely agree.
The whole process may take 90 minutes, from recording the video to uploading it on YouTube. But I can get some other things done during that time too, like reading while the video editing software is processing the video or watching something motivational while the video is uploaded to YouTube.

I was reading The Freedom Model today and gained some insight into what makes the journey of ārecoveryā difficult.
Similar to the wisdom shared in the EasyPeasyMethod, we donāt start off with a sense of joy that weāre making the best possible decision and excitement at the life weāre building free of addiction. Rather, weāre afraid of triggers and of future relapses, and secretly still craving for PMO, yet worried about experiencing more negative consequences.
I want to do my best to leave the fear behind and approach the journey with love and happiness. I am at my best when Iām free and clean of PMO. I am happier and far more fulfilled. I am not depriving myself of anything beneficial or genuinely pleasurable.
My form at the gym wasnāt the best today and I injured myself, it was quite painful. I want to be more attentive in the future to prevent further harm.
Alhamdulillah for everything.

It was a good day, moods were high. The energy from the last streak has not been completely lost, I have bounced back much faster. Iām feeling like myself again.
The day would have been better if I accomplished something for my business. Money is dearly needed right now. I want to put more energy into earning an income outside of my job.
Without a clear schedule, there is too much room for procrastination. Thereās a difference in productivity on the days when Iāve made a plan of action.
I recorded a new video: Why Do We Binge and How Do We Break the Cycle?
Alhamdulillah for everything.

Bro, why using so Harsh words man.

There was a time that the day 1 badge in this app was Slave and day 2 was Servant. It was changed because people found it too harsh.
I think outcast is okay - itās just a rank. I donāt feel like an outcast, I am an emperor already. I live like an emperor today so I will become one tomorrow.

The urges were present today. The voice in my head was saying, Right now if I listen to the voice in my head, heās saying, "Good, you have lost weight and done well in your diet. It is the weekend, you can relax and enjoy yourself. Go buy a pizza, have some ice cream, eat until you are satisfied.
Your streak is tiny, it is only a few days. You are expected to relapse a few times after falling from a high streak, thatās only normal. You can binge on PMO this weekend and start again fresh on Monday."
That voice is a liar. Every time I have listened to it, it has promised me the world and left me in pain and misery. I refuse to listen to it anymore.
Despite a recent injury, I completed my workout at the gym. I could have easily used it as an excuse not to go, but I persevered and found a way to stay on task without causing myself any further harm.
Alhamdulillah for everything.

Thatās way better even if harsh. Maybe they can still put these ranks if your streak is for a few hours or something.

Thereās no badges for hrs. So I doubt these ranks will be reintroduced.
But imo there should be some sort of relaxation day 3 onwards. Imagine being in a tough phase, making a 3 day streak just to see the app calling you servant.

I agree 
The lowest badges should be unpleasant since no one is aiming to be there.
