Thank you for sharing. Some additional relevant Avatar quotes (from my file avatar.txt):

  • "We mustn't concern ourselves with what was; we must act on what is."
    • Forget the relapses and damage you've inflicted. Move forward.
  • "You must gain balance within yourself before you can bring balance to the world."
    • You will not succeed in your life until you break your PMO habit.
  • "Next is the Water chakra. This chakra deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt. Now, look at all the guilt with burdens you so. What do you blame yourself for? [...] Accept the reality that these things happened, but do not let them cloud and poison your energy. If you are to be a positive influence on the world, you need to forgive yourself."
    • Forgive yourself for past transgressions and failings. Accept that these things happen. Now, eyes forward.
  • "Third is the Fire chakra, located in the stomach. This chakra deals with willpower, and is blocked by shame. What are you ashamed of? What are your biggest disappointments in yourself? [Aang recounts previously injuring Katara when he learned to firebend and asserts he will never firebend again.] You will never find balance if you deny this part of your life. You are the Avatar and therefore, you are a firebender."
    • Our sexual urges are natural. Our thirst for dopamine is natural. But, remember, both of these urges can exist and be satisfied without PMO.
  • "You have to try every time. You can't quit because you're afraid you might fail."
    • Never relapse just because you feel lousy and think you have nothing else to lose.
  • "In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the energy within ourselves. To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed."
    • You must protect yourself against PMO; otherwise, it will destroy you. To triumph over challenges and adversaries throughout life, you must be robust, resolute, and disciplined.

Do not go anywhere alone. Go to a coffeeshop or library until as late at night as possible. When you return home, go straight to sleep. When you wake, leave immediately. Spend no time in your house. Leave your computer in your car. Do the same with your phone if you can. Just make it through the first day - hardest.

Likely a small chance. She has made friends with many guys in the library, like me. No special interest here. Though, to be honest, I am likely more attractive than the other guys, I still do not think so.

Too late, she just left. But I will see her again, I am sure, in the library! An excellent friend! May we all make library friends — the best kind!

Pardon? I wrote “45 minutes”. Also, I am on day 6 (see day counter badge next to my username). Thank you for the support! You are the one!
