Awesome, Escape! I like everything you said in the previous two posts above…!
How I think of it if I’m finishing the year with struggles, is, like you said, start right away. That way you go into the next year already abstaining. Then you can leave porn behind as ‘last years news’. This helps me to start right away, and to look forward to the new year…
Before rejoining Reboot Nation, September of 2020, I did the same thing you’re doing now, I made a list of all my previous streaks, which at the time averaged every 6-8 days or so I’d lapse. But sometimes it’d be shorter or longer… But I scaled these days from smallest to longest and used them as mini-abstinence challenges…
It’s always good to step back and assess the bigger picture like you’re doing, because that helps us to tailor make a plan that’s going to work for us…
Wishing you the best!
