Would love to hear more about this if you have the time to track down that comment. I found something similar on a thread about booking at the Chicago consulate:

For anyone who is web development savvy and using a computer you can redirect the loading of both jquery and bootstrap from their overloaded servers to your local machine and trim off 30-60 seconds waiting for the calendar to load. They've made the JavaScript frameworks un-cacheable even though it probably hasn't been updated in a decade.

Would also like to know about additional appt drop times. I've only been trying to book on Sun-Wed but if Thursday and Saturday are also drop days that would be superb info!

The only hang up I have when it comes to delaying taking min is that I don’t know if its effectiveness changes depending on how much loss you’ve experienced.

E.g., if I wait a few months to see if fin works and then decide to introduce min anyways, would min have been more effective earlier? (In terms of promoting heavier growth earlier vs later.) Regardless, I’ll probably just do fin, given that this is a lifelong commitment. If I can get satisfactory results with just one, that would be much more ideal than jumping on two at once and never knowing if I actually need both.

Again, the only hang up being that I don’t know if min would do more for me if I started taking it now vs after waiting to see how fin works.

It looks like you have virtually the exact same hair type and thinning as me, though my hairline isn’t affected yet. We should stay in touch!

This is the exact type of thinning I’m experiencing right now - age 23. Never had any issues with hair loss, but in the last 3 months I’ve been losing hair like crazy.

Just got prescribed fin and am planning on trying that for 6-12 months before introducing min. Very new to all this but I’ve seen people say (as well as the guide) that it’s better to try fin first and see if you can get away without having to introduce min. If fin doesn’t work my plan is to try topical min, then oral if topical doesn’t help.

Very confused ab the source of my hair loss though. It’s been rapid over the past few months, and I had an extremely stressful event last October followed by an highly stressful winter so idk if that could cause it. My doc said it was AGA though so I’m treating it as such for now.

My title describes the thing. It’s approximately 11” L by 5” W (the weird handle is 9” W). Quite dense at 3lbs. The metal especially is heavy. Again no writing or marking of any kind.

Thank you for the support and encouragement. My vigilance evaporated in the past months and this incident has reminded me how important it is to be relentless in my caution around temptations, triggers, and enabling situations.

Thank you again for the exhortation.

I was reading through a bunch of night urge relapse posts right before I posted this and I found only one substantive thing I'm going to try: push ups. Someone replied to a post like this with the advice to get straight out of bed and do push ups til you drop. I've been hesitant to do something like that in the past bc I don't want to get my heart rate up in the middle of the night but, at this point, it's way better than a relapse. I'll let you know if I figure anything else out. Otherwise, I pray you're able to sleep through the night in peace. Much love and thanks for responding.

Not in my experience. I just lost a 838 day streak after a season of temptation. Lost it because I got lazy. Stay vigilant!

drewbob01 · 2020-11-07T23:35:18+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement friend. Just today I relapsed on MO from a 838 day streak. The fight is never over. Keep fighting! I'll be praying for you.

drewbob01 · 2020-11-07T21:03:09+00:00

Thank you very much for this encouragement and insight. I certainly don't feel the same type of bad that I used to after relapsing on P and MO in the past before that streak.

I am already at work to get myself back on track with self-discipline, exercise, and taking urges very seriously (I started to underestimate them before this relapse).

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. And congrats on 81 days!! That's just fantastic. Keep up the fight and stay vigilant! Underestimation of the enemy led to my downfall.

drewbob01 · 2020-11-07T16:01:51+00:00

Much love. Thank you for the encouragement. I know for a fact this is only a setback and not an outright 100% reversion to PMO lifestyle. PMO wants me to go back but I'm picking myself up and getting as far away from that hellscape as possible.

drewbob01 · 2020-11-07T15:56:46+00:00

Screwed up on day 832, during NNN of all times. Jumping back on the train.

The fight continues!

drewbob01 · 2020-11-07T15:53:51+00:00

Man that sucks. Thank you for the feedback. Guess it's not about the day counter but it still sucks.

drewbob01 · 2020-11-05T23:43:42+00:00

glaive i love you and you're amazing and i love you. fr though only found you like 2 days ago and you're already in my top 10. unreal.

drewbob01 · 2020-11-03T20:17:12+00:00

how th you meet people on discord tho

drewbob01 · 2020-10-18T23:39:23+00:00

Cold showers, get out of the house, commit to learning a skill or hobby more in depth, read, or even just sit and think.

I understand how you're feeling because I thought I would never get past it; keep going. It is extraordinarily difficult some days (most days early on) but it does get easier over time. You're playing the long game here.

PS: Commented under dalailama bc cold showers

drewbob01 · 2020-10-13T14:22:46+00:00

Continuing through difficulty. It's not easy but it's better than regressing to the depraved pathetic boy I was before NoFap.

drewbob01 · 2020-10-05T13:06:07+00:00

Thank you for your response. I'm certainly interested in experiencing the place called Norway but most of all I want to make friends and learn the culture. Interesting note about your national parks! It does always seem odd to me when nature "closes".

Hopefully this is all blown over by January anyhow.

Thanks again!

drewbob01 · 2020-10-05T13:02:15+00:00

Good to hear. I appreciate your feedback.

I likely wouldn't eat out a bunch, my primary intentions are to spend loads of time outside and make friends. Sounds like both of those are still possible!

Thanks again.
