Day 1 - 1/10
Day 100 - 7/10
7 may seem low but you must understand it is a VAST improvement! I still have a small ways to go but I'm doing so much better! I have the zest for life back and I am enjoying things!

2) Good music definitely! I can feel it coursing through my veins and I enjoy the experience! I've always enjoyed good food tbf, I guess it changes for each individual?

3) The primary change is I am MUCH more motivated to pursue my career goals and finish my project cars (I'm a bit of a greasemonkey). I am even taking steps to start a business restoring and selling cars! I have a lot more resilience when talking to people, I used to be acutely self aware to the point that it was crippling and I tended to be quite agitated in normal conversation with friends, my baseline was defensive. Now though, I can talk with and banter with my friends as I know that it's all light hearted and not personal! I find that it is easier to talk to women for sure. It is easier to talk to everyone for that matter! Naturally I still have a ways to go, reboots are certainly marathons and not sprints, especially considering I have 11 years of PMO to unwind, but my life is so much better porn free!
1) This is great! 7 is NOT low. First of all, this is a 600% improvement. 2nd, I don't think it's possible to really stay at a 10 for anyone because life gets in the way. No one has a truly perfect life, if you can get to a 8-9 and stay there most of the time that's a huuuuuuge success

Great stuff on 2 and 3. Wishing you all the best

Day 105 - I believe I'm entering a flatline, my theory as to why is because of a few life stresses I have at the moment, I found myself craving porn ever so slightly last night. I've been here before though, I shall persevere!

Stole this quote from the thread made by @Blondie

"What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward todeath; the major portion of death has already passed, Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands. Therefore, Lucilius, do as you write me that you are doing: hold every hour in your grasp. Lay hold of to-day's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon to-morrow's.

While we are postponing, life speeds by. Nothing, Lucilius, is ours, except time. We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession. What fools these mortals be! They allow the cheapest and most useless things, which can easily be replaced, to be charged in the reckoning, after they have acquired them; but they never regard themselves as in debt when they have received some of that precious commodity, - time! And yet time is the one loan which even a grateful recipient cannot repay." -Seneca
Reminds me of memento mori. I learned about it in stoicism. Btw I'm happy to learn ur progress and this has been a great thread to read.
