I can do better in 2020

@jixu, thanks man.

I relapsed again last week. Don't remember which day but it doesn't matter really. I got some new assignment and I need to occupy myself with it. Yesterday I was still procrastinating a lot and eventually I started working in the late afternoon and I felt good. I watched a video about dopamine detox and indeed it's something I should do. Porn is definitely the main source of my dopamine overload but there are many more things that I do are bad, such as youtube, phone scrolling, etc. For years I've been thinking about cultivating a habit of reading but it just never happened because I always fell back to the fast internet. It has caught all my attention and I feel depraved by it. I've "promised" several times before to cut youtube or web browsing and it really demoralized me that I never kept my promises. This is such a bad thing to do to myself.

I can hear you big time on work pressure-yikes!  I have faced it for years, often times on a daily basis with little respite.  So, stress is a given (if not form work, from some other facet), and we shouldn't be surprised by it but learn to channel it properly.  Any replacement activity that gets you off-line, such as reading as you mentioned,  will help.  Anyway, good job coming on here and continuing the battle!
