First of all, I have no badge. I didn’t have a reddit account at all until just now, so excuse me for that. But anyway, I think this is my seventh week of the challange (give or take a bit), and I have to say it’s worked wonders in my life. I’ll give you a […]

I have failed many, many times. The majority of my “streaks” during recovery have lasted a week, maybe two, before a humiliating and […]
