Gear up warriors, because now you have to fight a challenge which is different
As familiar faces in the Rewire Companion Forum, we’ve witnessed challenges centered around streaks—fall once, and you’re out. While initially motivating, this approach may falter in the long run. Does one relapse truly signify defeat? Must you start anew, resigned to failure?
Absolutely not!
In this novel challenge, each clean day is a triumph. Picture it as collecting a coin every day you stay clean, with relapses yielding nothing. Streaks, in this context, reflect the count of clean days since the month’s commencement. Even if you stumble, you’re not disqualified—continue accumulating your clean days!
But there is a small catch
If you relapse more than once on the same day. Then you’ll be eliminated.
Don’t look at me like that. Failing once is acceptable but failing twice in a row is not. James Clear, author of the book ‘Atomic Habits’ once said “If I miss one day, I try to get back into it as quickly as possible”. Relapsing once shouldn’t be an obstacle but an opportunity to get stronger and make a bigger come back.
## Points System (for the old users for only first edition of the challenge)
- 1st place: +5 points
- 2nd place: +4 points
- 3rd place: +3 points
- 4th place: +2 points
- 5th place: +1 point
All start at 0 points monthly. Points reflect ranks, emphasizing clean days and breaking ties with check-ins. Newcomers can surpass leaders through consistent efforts. Initial points (for just the first edition) slightly favor old consistent performers, but highlight potential for newcomers with sustained commitment as checking in more compared to old users+maintaining clean streak will mean them beating the old consistent performers in this challenge! Not a small feat right?
Let’s get to know about the rules through a QnA format.
What format is this challenge in?
This is a monthly challenge and the score will be set to 0 or simply reset at the last date of every month.

What’s different for the first edition of this challenge?
The first edition of this challenge will commence on 1st Jan and conclude on 31st Jan 2024.
The users in the member’s leaderboard (this leaderboard came into effect in the month of sept 2023) will start the challenge with some prior points based on their ranking of their performance in previous format of challenge which ended on 31/12/2023.
But from the second edition aka from month of february, they will start from 0 points like every other candidate.
How the winner will be decided?
The person with the most clean days in any particular month+most number of check-ins in that particular month will be the winner of the challenge for that particular month.
There’s +1 point for checking in (on clean day) and +1 point for clean day (both points per day basis).
In case of a tie, the winner will be decided by the amount of check-ins(This rule will be in force for the first edition of the challenge too). The person with most check-ins will be placed number 1 and the second most check-in user will receive 2nd position.
What will be the format of the leaderboard?
The leaderboard will consist of 5 columns.
Namely username, Clean Days(from 1st), No. of check-ins, sharing code and no. of points.
What will lead to elimination?
If anyone relapses twice a day, they will be eliminated. We are watching, so no place for lying, beware!
In what format we have to check-in?
(Date in dd/mm/yy format)
X clean days (in current month)
Y relapses (in current month)
Example below 
2/1/24
2 clean days
0 relapses
What will the winner get and when?
At the last date of the month, the top 2 position holders will get E certificates from the admin and co-admin of this challenge.
There will be an award ceremony on the last date of every month at 10PM IST where the top 2 position holders will be provided E certificates. A way to honour the efforts of the top performers!
What about those who finished outside top 2?
Those who completed 3 weeks or more will get their name in a mention at end of the month in the category “honourable mention” through a post made by me or the co-admins.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it - but all that had gone before.
