82 days
The furthest I've ever made it (I look forward to writing this line every day now...)

I used to open the 90-day chart, and I'd catch a glimpse of the names of great warriors up on top before it zoomed down to my position (usually around three days). After close to three months of what's probably the hardest - and the most rewarding - work I've done, I've made it near the top. Talk about an ego booster.

Now, here's my dilemma, in about eight days, when (not if) I'll click that "I don't have a fall to report" button, I'll be kicked off that prestigious position. Of course, one could argue that I'll be on The Wall Of Honor, which is superior, but I can't help but feel uneasy about the transition.

From a Torah-true perspective, I shouldn't feel this way. Chazal tell us הוי זנב לאריות, ואל תהי ראש לשועלים. But still, it's sorta like after being the oldest in Elementary; we're suddenly demoted to the youngest in High School. Even though HS is for the big boys, you're the youngest all over again. (And the truth is, the members of the 90-day chart are in no way sly Foxes; they're Lions!)

Most people just submit to it. Such is life, and there's nothing we can do to stop the passage of time.
One wise man stood up, and Markz was (still is) his name, and said, "I have an idea! I'll stop updating my counter when I'm up there. The pinnacle will be mine indefinitely!"

And so, Markz set his plan in motion. It's an easy and effective plan. In fact, it's so easy; all you need to do is nothing.
But he made one fatal mistake. He stopped updating at 87 days. That means that two people can outsmart him in his own game.

Markz, I'm coming for you!

Let me tell you, there are the names on the dash board that have the most clean days, and they are there forever, you just came later.

But let me ask you, is there a contest who came earlier, if there is a contest, the game did you stay clean, did you guard your eyes, so if you are consistent, you are the same, and possible even better, if you are guarding your eyes etc.

But the real truth is, there is no contest whatsoever, you gotta look at yourself, how was I before and what’s my progress, what difference does it make how other are doing.

And I find even more, that for this struggle, you could only think about yourself, no outside motivation.

All the best

That monster is giving it's all cuz it sees how close you are to 90 days. It's great that you recognize that.  Stay strong, you're about to earn another tuna sandwich.

Here's a line that came to me from a past life as I'm standing just a wee few hours away from 90 days.

Yeah, neither do I.
Baruch Hashem for that.
