Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

If I can be frank; at the moment you're full of recent convert enthusiasm. I take it as a bad sign, although not to shit on your parade or anything. You still sound as though you are caught up in a cycle of addiction and this straightening yourself out is as much a phase of that as was your regression. By all likelihood you will falter again, somewhere down the road there'll be a trigger which sets you off on your dopamine scavenging habits of old and so you will continue. I hope you would take that as a challenge, if anything, to prove me wrong; although I've never known that sort of provocation to work before.

You need to understand that this is going to test you again and again and again. You must maintain a baseline level of effort that you never allow yourself to reneg on. It's not wise to expect that you will always able to maintain absolute enthusiasm over a life-style change as drastic as the one you are adopting. So you must level with yourself, to coach yourself when you feel yourself start to flag and to maintain a baseline of effort that is absolutely non-negotiable.

You've gotta be hard on yourself, man, because nobody else is going to do it for you.

You are correct. Now I think about it, I have these phases where I am full on one way, but then I have a trigger that puts me back in the dumpers.

I don't expect full enthusiasm forever. I am hoping to iron my will and discipline to keep maintaining that base effort. I am starting to recognize why I fell.

you can still be red pill/alpha/successful with women/ successful career etc while playing video games and watching porn. You have an all or nothing mentality, if that works for you kudos. But it sounds like you binge then abstain. Wouldnt it be better to just limit porn and videogames, and not cut them out completely. Like completely cutting out junk food. It sets you up to fail and binge. I will say if you CAN completely cut out those vices, then DO it. Porn and videogames dont benefit your life.

That is what I am aiming to accomplish to free myself of those constraints. You are right that I do have an all-or-nothing mentality, for better or worse. I would like to channel that time and energy to more productive things.
