If I’m going to be celibate, then I would also give up TV/movies, any restaurant/fast food, xBox, and everything else I use to medicate myself with. If I’m going to deprive myself of the antidote, then it makes sense to also stop taking the poison.
I would use the extra time on my studies and blog more about the things I care about, and devote myself to meditation and charity work. Honestly, the only reason I’m not already there is because my SO and I have had such a crazy year trying to get settled. After writing this question though, I feel inspired to stop making excuses and start making those improvements regardless- GQ!
