20 weeks left till the start of 2027.

Most people here report benefits (tangible ones) - in a couple of weeks. There's still 20 weeks left. Other men will find reasons to relapse - especially near the start of the new year whereas you would be beginning with a decent 20 week abstinence period.

I did not mean to sound unnecessarily competitive - but this has become a cut throat dog eat dog world in 2026.

This is a very good opportunity to practice radical forgiveness; forgiving all your past relapses and completely accepting them - and ultimately moving on and making SR a lifestyle.

20 weeks isn't 6 months - and its definitely not a whole year. But its a solid concrete period to practice abstinence long term. Hope this helped.
