i only allow myself to yerk it after i worked out or did some sport.

try new workout routine or look for a different form of sport

I'm you further down the road. I didn't drink as much, but I just slowly fell off over a few years, now I have at least 15 pounds to lose.
What made me lock in is getting repeatedly punished for my misdeeds. I have a health condition that I need to manage with diet and exercise, and I finally had enough after being sick all last week. I know I'm not doing what I should, and I know I'd be well if I went back to my old routine of lifting and fasting. Repentance means heading in the right direction, and that direction is to the gym. Things could be a lot worse if you let it slide for years like I did, turn back now.

>new workout routine
yeah i really should, open to suggestions. i'm in a small town in canada so a lot of our sports are seasonal and we don't really have any facility for indoor shit other than hockey in the winter desu. i am interested in boxing or improving at swimming. shit is just so expensive, i may end up switching to a ymca membership for more variety but it's like $30 bi weekly

Thanks anon, something i needed to read. i'm fearful as hell to become dependent on alcohol, and i know i'm heading in that path just out of pure boredom and just doing nothing. it's really stupid, consistency at the gym changed my life once and i know it'll do it again. going to hit a disgusting lift now

Doing nothing all day is not a great plan. If you're a NEET or unemployed you need a productive hobby, and by that I mean a hobby that produces something. Art, music, woodworking, video editing, cooking, etc. If you like to read, write down your thoughts on what you've read. I hope it goes well for you, we're all gonna make it.

Just focus on the one or two lifts in total that you enjoy for the time being.
Any progress is good. Hope the best for you bruder

I couldn't find motivation until my gf left me. It shouldn't have needed to come to that to get my ass in gear, wish I could get motivation from positive things instead of wanting to torture myself for not being good enough.

But anyway really it's more about building a habit, you don't need motivation you just need a habit

i am a neet, keep telling myself i'm gonna be more locked in once i get work but it's been about 3 years and probably in the 1000's for jobs applied now. i used to work in long term care and i dont know if people are retarded or what but they don't understand how it brings out every desirable trait of a worker in other fields.

as for hobbies, i used to be really good at writing things down and making goals - pretty much brought a small pen and pad everywhere because i forget or get side tracked all of the time. I used to go out and do day trips for photography, take up sewing projects and make little survival projects for backcountry camping but i've just gotten lazy and unmotivated. alcohol is definitely a terrible factor at play for all of this and i can recognize that

I never yerk it the day before workout. Also at least 6 hours after workout. Can't risk low T hindering strength and recovery.

Havn't gone to the gym for two weeks now though because i need to let my shoulder heal which had been long overdue and ive been yerking every day
