Im in my second week of monk mode and life is still low, but im getting better.

I workout every other day and eat regularly to help my fitness goals. I hold frame and focus so well at work the boss said im the kind of guy who is "calm in the storm" so he offered me a promotion. I don't think about women much outside of sex and i subdue the thoughts with reality and get back on my way. The only real problem im still having is smoking. Its killing my money gains and puting my health back, but im smoking less and even went 3 days without a pack. I find working out in the morning kills my cravings all day, most of the time.

Found TRP last year. Never been happier.

Applying to PhD programs, hitting the gym, building a wooden kayak, and made out with a Pakistani model in front of my date last night, who blew me that evening.

I'm on the half-time stretch of monk mode. It's been about 2 months.

My fitness has increased a lot and women especially are noticing, which is nice. I look great and got a good haircut so the physical aspect of all of this gets a good grade. Still work to do before next summer where I plan to travel the country a bit and possibly do some agriculture-related work on the west coast for a month or two.
I stopped partying and drinking nearly as much. I went 2 months without anything but nicotine. I completely gave up pot 3 months ago and haven't missed it a bit. I went out two nights ago and partied a little harder than I'm proud of. I hooked up with a pretty ratchet girl but it's been a while and it's nice to know I still got it. I'm not beating myself up over it, just one of those next day "what the fuck did I do" sort of things. That morning I was offered some pot and I remembered what wonders it did for my hangovers in the past. So, I took a couple hits. I got weirdly high but not uncomfortable, just super self critical. I was alone in this apartment in the middle of the city, stoned and still hungover. I felt as though I hadn't taken any real steps forward with my life, even though I was acting like I had to others. Which leads me to:
Still having trouble pushing myself towards my future. I hate college education and I have no idea what I want to be when I'm older. I'm twenty-one years old and still young but that's a shit excuse. It's a crippling fear of mine; I'm too smart, too personable and have too much potential to settle for adequacy. I just can't find the motivation to push myself through college. I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make a career for myself without it, but it all comes full circle back to going anyways. I know what I have to do and I know how to do it, it just sucks that I have to do it in the first place.

It feels nice to write that out and share it, even anonymously.

I found TRP about 3 months ago after somebody called one of my reddit comments 'redpill'. In that three months I've made massive progress from being unemployed, suicidal and incredibly boring.

I'm working 80-100 hours a week, albeit at a minimum wage, low skill job, but everybody has gotta start somewhere. Doing very well according to my managers. I put in my all and paradoxically find work much less draining and more enjoyable.

Completely defeated my anxiety and depression, I've never felt better about myself. (If anyone wants pointers on how to do this just ask).

More success with women, but this was never a real issue for me. I did however manage to get the filthiest blowjob I've ever had through the use of dread game so thanks TRP.

Got some medical appointments out of the way, got a couple more to do then it's off to the gym!

Never felt better in my life. Swallowed the pill sometime in the summer and started working out, better posture, much more happy, productive at work, ambitious academically, eating better. Everything is just better.

Found red pill 3 months ago. I am now current on all my bills for the first time in 2 years. I am self reliant for the first time in my life. Looking to get a new car and trying to find a way to kill off my 90 k in student loans.

I bought a month of gym free-pass and spent 1,5 hours there to begin with. Shoulders + legs. Then I had myself a nice big steak with spinach.

Been working on eye contact and opening up to people. I used to be very closed and shy but am exercising getting out of my comfort zone and just talking. Even if it's small talk it builds my social skill, confidence and if I'm (really) lucky might meet a LTR or at least a plate.

At this club last night I held eye contact with some 8's and they were responsive by coming over and talking about my graphic shirt. While waiting at the bar to get a club soda (I'm almost 2 weeks sober now) a 7 accidentally grabbed my hand for a few seconds thinking it was her friend. I joked around that saying "If you're gonna hold my hand you can at least ask for my name". Again, she responded positively and I ended up dancing with her and her friend.

Before that I went to pickup some food and chatted to a girl who was also waiting about the painting she was carrying.

In addition to all of this I've been more vocal about calling out some idiots on Twitter (deactived my FB a month ago) cause I can't help it I love pushing stupid peoples buttons and getting them mad :) Lastly, been using this pull up bar I ordered from Amazon for additional exercise at home.

Started hitting the gym back in January, I was 160lb. My goal was to weigh 185. I'm currently right on the cusp of 185lb. Next year's fitness goal is to break 200.

Current academic goal is to finish my Associates. It's been hell to get it cause I'm in the military and I've already deployed once and I'm about to deploy again. But I've got 9 credit hours left.

Financial goals. With this upcoming deployment, I'm going to use my extra pay to pay off my car, and get some extra padding in my savings account.

Relationship wise? Stay the course. I'm only 21, I'm not ready for serious shit.
