Day 1

Well, I've now put down over 16 hours, with no problems at all. Of course it helped that I was asleep for 12 of those 16 hours, but nonetheless, I'm feeling confident. I think the first minor test will come tonight, at Sudwerks. If I get buzzed, and certain other people get buzzed, this thing might come to a mercifully quick conclusion. I'm pretty sure I can be good, though.

I was also considering some options to make things easier on myself. One such option would be to just stop shaving. I can look very homeless, very quickly, when I don't shave at least twice a week, and I'm getting to that stage already. Keeping my facial hair unruly and unattractive would make it that much easier to avoid slipping up in this endeavor, but part of me feels like that's cheating. I should be able to handle this with a clean-shaven face, and no help from the Jewish hair follicles. Feel free to let me know how you feel about this.

So far there have been no urges, no potentially compromising situations, and no close calls. I am a paragon of virtue and chastity. See you at Sudwerks tonight.

I think you can continually sleep through 40 days, then you'll be good to go.

In order to achieve pure sexual denial, you must be tested. There is little glory in abstinence when you were not the abstinent agent. To make this interesting and maximize the effort you must put forth, try making yourself extra alluring. Clean shaven no beard, musky not musty, some jeans that give your butt lift. And maybe chase some Viagra with oysters and chocolate-covered strawberries.

You can do this. I have faith in you. You can be like Jesus in the desert, with or without the beard.
