Weird analogy porn reboot

Yesterday night I found out how I feel about this whole journey. It is like building a house. So, here a little story:
You get the task to build a house on your own as fast as possible. There are two main options:

Guy one starts right away. He takes planks, glues
them together. After some days he already has
something that looks a bit like a house and everyone
thinks he is pretty far.

nofapper one starts right away. He removes everything
from his life which he doesn’t wanna have anymore and
starts the counter. Challenges an willpower are what keep
him going. The counter goes up and after 40 days
everyone thinks he is pretty far.

But before he finishes the first floor, everything collapses.
Damn, a relapse. But he is strong and starts anew.
This cycle goes on and on and on.

Guy two goes home after getting the task and starts planning the
whole building. Maybe, he sometimes goes to the building site to
check whether his methods work or not but after 90 days he still
hasn’t started building but he has a strong plan how he wanna
do it.

nofapper two plans his new life. Why / when are there urges.
How can I prevent them and so far. For a long time he doesn’t
care about his counter but he analyzes each relapse.
After 90 days his counter still shows day 1. but he exactly
knows what the problem is and how to address it

Finally guy two starts building. Due to his good plan he is fast.
surely, not everything goes as planned but most of it does and after
some time he has a finished house which withstands even a strong
storm. Guy one also has something house-like after this time but
the first storm shatters the whole building again.

After some time, nofapper two starts his counter. Surely, he will
relapse sometimes but his average counter gets extremely high
very fast. And after a year, two or three he has a strong, new life
where even a divorce, problem in the job or so on can’t retrigger
his addiction. It is possible that nofapper one also is abstinent
at the moment but the slightest new problem in his life can trigger
his old addiction again because the foundation of his cure is very
weak
