>>130144832Abstinence is like a muscle.
You feel the need to drink, and you hold it in for one hour. And then two, and then three, and so on.
You don't need to "start abstaining" for a day or from a day onwards, you just train the "muscle" of abstension.
You know you're "lifting" and "training" in the moments when you experience these two things at once:
1) you want it
2) you're not doing it
If you don't train for a while, the muscle will become weak.
If you train every day, the muscle will become stronger.
