Good shit man, I cannot believe you're coming up on nearly 1yr no masturbation. Hats off! The cold showers are great, glad to see you keeping up with that as well
Yeah keep improving holistically, make good money and save well man. Very proud!

Had a full week at my new job, also finished off a customer job for my business, it should be a nicely paid month this month! Incredibly grateful for where I am! There is a lot more improvement to be made but I am very pleased about the trajectory. My work colleagues are fantastic and kind, incredibly funny as well!
Struggling to kick this video game habit, I believe this is due to me using games as a crutch and an escape for so many years. I'm gonna keep trying though!
Big love gentlemen
Day 330 no MO
Day 730 no porn
Day 1 no video games
Day 58 cold showers

Good stuff man. I don't game much these days but my crutch is anime, I guess it's a way to escape the world in a way. I think we all have some things like that but proud of you for making the effort! I found that living in this fantasy-esque world of porn / video games / anime sustained me (if you can call it that!) through my early 20s and even the early part of my mid 20s before it stopped. Now even if I relapsed (which I won't!) and went back to those same habits, it would definitely not be what it once was where I felt it was 'ok' -- the only route that leads to is a life of depression and regret. The more we can do to kick aside digital crap (porn, social media, unrealistic TV shows like anime, video games) the better. You don't have to be perfect per se in shoving it all out (though except for porn where it's better to not sure honestly) but the more you immerse yourself int the real world with real people, the better. I'm preaching a bit here as while I've kicked aside porn / social media and video games are a minimum (really only a social activity w/ friends and even then not often), I'm still working to kick aside anime at some point. Good job for making the effort!
Congrats on 2 years porn free!!

That's how it should be man, the day that you just let the clock fade away into the background is the day that this crap has really lost its hold on you. Stay vigilant but as the months and years pass without porn, you'll live the way you were meant to
How's the meditation treating you, still continuing or nah?

haha do what you feel is best. IMO meditation has been even more important to my mental / emotional well being than cold showers (by a big margin honestly). But depends on your goals ultimately. Still hitting the gym hard and putting on mass?

Hello men! Apologies for going missing again, I come with an update but be aware it's not overly positive (which I hate loading onto others so apologies for that)
I think I've been doing stuff half arsed. Life satisfaction has gone downhill, business isn't doing well (recession doesn't help!) but I am supremely grateful to have my new job. I still don't think I'm working for hard or long enough and I'm certainly not learning enough. Couple that with mmy overuse of video games and I'm feeling quite numb as a result. Feel stuck in the mud right now!
On a positive note, I have started meditating again, gonna do 15 minutes every day as I used to. I lost my way since the summer, I'm gonna get it back!
Have any of you kings invested in crypto?
How is everyone's reboot doing?
Love you, kings
Day 360 no MO
Day 760 no porn

Good stuff on meditation again, keep at it man. haha I've got some money in Bitcoin and Ethereum so let's hope we go to the moon!
Otherwise reboot is going ok, I'm feeling the porn pathways kind of reactivate as I haven't been as disciplined in recent months (except for past month) so getting back into the groove

I get how you feel with the reactivation, its so scary how we can fall victim to it after so long being free. Big up your very good self my friend

1yr no MO, that might be the most incredible accomplishment I've seen in a LONG time. When you say no MO, I guess you mean no self-stimulation or are you including partners too?
Also what's happening with ETH next month? Lol I'm out of the loop

Just self stimulation!
Bitcoin is gonna be halving next month so the prices are gonna soar aggressively, I've also bought some up and coming coins so hopefully that'll make some bank!

Hey king! I've been doing nothing but work the job/business in the day and research crypto on the night really! Apologies for inactivity, how is everyone?
