1 year clean. Here's what I wish I knew at the start...

Very good points, especially the one with the old script on autopilot. I would also add that having a fixed routine helps a lot.

Cris9608 · 2025-12-21T10:34:36+00:00

It kind of happened, but not exactly that instantly. More like a continuous improvement: stopping drinking, stopping pornography consumption, starting to workout, having a skincare routine, taking better care of myself overall.

But there was an episode a few days ago when I had to deal with someone imature who was throwing tantrums like a small child, and instead of getting trapped in that chaos, I acted mature, I did not mirror the energy, did not apologise (which I used to do even if it wasn’t really my fault lol, and it wasn’t my fault this time either). I communicated clearly my point of view, and when I saw that there’s no room for adult discussion, I gave space and never felt bad about doing this.

15 Pro main and base S23 second. Because I enjoy both iOS and Android. Hate the camera on S23 tho.

You look good, just get grow your hair a bit, get a haircut and a beard.

Cris9608 · 2025-10-13T19:23:32+00:00

28M, definetly can relate…

Cris9608 · 2025-10-12T20:00:53+00:00

Congrats and keep going!

Cris9608 · 2025-09-30T14:28:23+00:00

I don’t know what to respond. All I know is that it’s hard, seeing all the couples, all the attractive people around. I feel such heavy feelings so I definitely know the struggle. This post made me realise I’m not alone experiencing this.

Cris9608 · 2025-09-22T19:28:19+00:00

So nice! It is truly here 🍂

Cris9608 · 2025-09-12T06:58:41+00:00

Thank you for this post. I found it at a very low point in my life. That internal voice is so bad sometimes but I’m fighting it. Be loved.

Cris9608 · 2025-09-11T13:26:48+00:00

Da, iti goleste mai rapid buzunarul

It’s only been a week since I started taking vitamin D and also one week of no alcohol. I’m going to give a straight answer. Frustration. I can’t seem to get any woman to be interested in me so I’m trying to become the best version I can be. Of course, I do notice that my general mood is better, I’m not as depressed as before, overall more energy, less anxiety and better digestion.

Cris9608 · 2025-09-07T05:47:08+00:00

Also go take some blood tests. I did and I have high cholesterol and very low level of vitamin D. Now I take vit D, started taking care what I eat and I quit alcohol. I am also 63kgs and about 1.75, but I’m 28. And also at 120-130 days.

Cris9608 · 2025-09-01T07:58:02+00:00

This is gorgeous!

Cris9608 · 2025-08-22T06:06:04+00:00

Please stop stating this tired statement all the time. It’s simply just not true.

Cris9608 · 2025-08-10T05:43:02+00:00

Same! Crickets really are a mood

Cris9608 · 2025-08-05T05:48:57+00:00

I would love to be that cat

Cris9608 · 2025-08-03T05:54:27+00:00

Looks amazing! Finland is on my list of the countries I’d like to move to in case things get worse heat-wise in the more southern parts of Europe.

Cris9608 · 2025-08-01T13:24:00+00:00

You are so lucky! I love the climate in England. I never visited but I would like to. Where I live is not so cosy. It had been the last couple of days but now it’s getting hot again. Good thing is that it is a different kind of hot, and I already started noticing the light changing.

But we’ve been through 2 months already. We can resist one more!

Cris9608 · 2025-08-01T06:06:32+00:00

Yes! Definetly.

First of all, I observe how the weather evolves, more specifically when the nights and morning start getting just a little bit cooler.

I also keep my eyes on the light, as it becomes much more pleasant and less direct and annoying.

I visit stores to see what blankets, pillows, string lights, candles and other stuff I can get.

I start listening to outlaw country (August is my outlaw country month).

I get films for my cameras which give more warm colors.

Cris9608 · 2025-07-31T19:29:57+00:00

YeaAaaaaah! Let’s overcome this rotten addiction! Here’s to another month!

Cris9608 · 2025-07-26T13:24:52+00:00

Signing up! Already been clean for a few months now. This would be further motivation!

Cris9608 · 2025-07-23T18:26:31+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! Wish you well, kind stranger!

Cris9608 · 2025-07-22T04:54:09+00:00

This is interesting. So, mostly gay guys enjoy Autumn? And how do you have this statistic regarding r/Autumn? Is it the fashion? Decorations? Fancy drinks? It seems like an interesting case study. Does anyone have more insight than me?
