JG2690, So many benefits from my reboot including more confidence. I flirt better and I am also very aware of when I'm checked out by other people. The greatest benefit has been stronger athletic performance. I run trail races and obstacle courses like Tough Mudder and I have upped my mileage and have begun conquering obstacles I once failed like rope climbs and and rings. I'm much more focused and alert and handle stress better.
aboodos94, I guess about 20 days in I knew I was committed for the long run and began to find ways to get past urges, i.e., exercise, tea before bed. It was a challenging journey, one of my most difficult ever, but I just really wanted it, and then joy came from the success as well as the proof the reboot was working. I found my safe place where I felt confident and had no triggers, the gym, and I spent most evenings there exhausting myself so that I could sleep at night. I wouldn't have succeeded without that outlet.
