Looking at where I was in January compared to right now is honestly pretty crazy because these last six months were when I finally just locked tf in.

I ran my first full marathon, losed more than 30kgs and I scaled my AI agency to $10k/mo in just four months. Out of the 180+ days so far this year I feel like I won almost all of them, but now we are stepping into the second half of the year and I am terrified of getting too comfortable. It is so easy to grind when you are starting fresh on New Year's with nothing to lose, but staying hungry when you finally have some real traction is a lot harder.

I am writing this down because this is kinda my contract to keep pushing until that January version of me is a distant memory.

The Hit List for the rest of 2026:

Hit $50k/mo since the foundation is done.

Gain 5 more kg of muscle.

Read 12 books (7 already done).

And the Main One: Win the rest of the year by just doing something every single day.

How did your first six months go, guys?

Hello ladies! ❤️

Another Ch@nel has officially joined the collection, and this one came from my favorite trusted seller Anna. It definitely isn't my first bag from her, and once again she delivered exactly what I was hoping for.

I wanted another bag that I could reach for without thinking, and this checked every box. The caviar leather feels dense and durable, the flap holds its shape beautifully, and the overall finish has that polished look that makes the design so iconic.

Details:

• Factory: 187 Factory

• Size: 25.5 cm

• Leather: Black Caviar

• Price: $378 USD

• Seller: Anna

• WhatsApp: +86 134 1164 1100

As expected, the entire buying experience was flawless from start to finish. Anna has been consistently reliable for me, which is why I keep going back to her.

400 days... it honestly sounds completely crazy to me, because before this I couldn't even last more than 2 weeks.

So I just wanted to share my actual journey from the very beginning up until today.

Here is exactly how it went:

The first 3 months were honestly absolute hell. I just didn't know what to do with my hands or how to actually relax without grabbing a beer or a smoke. And the worst part wasn't even the physical urge to drink, bet or so; it was realizing just how much of my brain was constantly thinking about it all.

Around month 3 or 4, I finally had to sit down and look at how my brain actually functions without any alcohol or nicotine. I also looked at my bank statements for the first time in two years. That was honestly its own kind of rock bottom, because I had been making decent money and basically had nothing to show for it.

After 9 months of quitting all of that garbage, I finally felt real control. I was actually able to just sit and watch the game without needing a beer, without placing any bets, and without having to step outside for a smoke. Just watch the game and actually enjoy it.

Even nowadays, people still try to say "come on, just a small bet," "just 1 beer". But I just keep saying no simply because I promised myself I would.

The exact moment I knew it was really over: my buddy won $2,000 on a parlay while smoking outside, and I honestly felt nothing. Zero jealousy, zero urge, absolutely nothing. That's exactly when I knew the obsession was actually gone for good.

No more chains.

What else actually changed in the past year?

I paid off $10,000 in debt. I always actually had that money, but I was literally just setting it on fire every single weekend on drinks, bets, and packs.

I finally got promoted. My boss even told me I seemed like a completely different person.

I started consistently going to the gym and completely fixed my sleep schedule. Finally...

My biggest advice: that "just one bet" or "just one sigar" mentality is exactly the same as "just one drink" for an alcoholic. It simply doesn't exist for people like us. That first bet, beer, or smoke is literally never the last one.

Also, don't try to tell yourself you're quitting forever right away. Just give yourself a 3-month goal. Once you actually get your brain back, you won't even want it anymore. The feeling of actually keeping your entire paycheck and breathing normally is way better than any win or buzz has ever felt.

Who else is on this journey right now? What day are you guys on?

I have a very weird hair texture, fluffy and unmanageable. Curly hair products weigh my hair down and normal products make it look like a lion's mane. Please suggest some anti frizz serums to make it look a bit presentable (in the affordable range, I am broke af 🍍).

P.S- I have never chemically treated my hair or even done any treatment on it.

Found this cutie randomly on the pavement, can anyone identify what is this? The mimicry pattern is brilliant though, almost like a leaf or stick insect.
