So I'm 6 days in and doing good. Life has improved so much since I've managed to stop doing this; I'm more erudite, I'm a more effective leader at work, and I feel a ton better about myself.

However, I made the fatal mistake of going out after work last night. Got very drunk and woke up with an awful hangover this morning. At which point, my resolve to resist touching myself or looking at things really dropped.

I edged but before I climaxed, I came to my senses and stopped and I'm glad I did. But it's worth remembering, things like alcohol can really lower your resolve. Stay careful out there and try to avoid anything in excess.

I will keep things up!
