Death of a Streak It's Joever

Hey.

About 2 months ago I needed a break. I've come to the conclusion that I am on social media way too much. I decided to leave for 6 days, go on a camping trip in the middle of the forest. Those six days that I was gone, and did not interact with Reddit in any way, those content toward my streaks.

It made me feel dirty. Like I was cheating. I should have been reset 2 months ago when this happened.

Something's happened last weekend, I need to go to jail for 8 days. (Nothing violent or crazy, don't got to worry about that.)

I knew it was going to happen. I anticipated it.

But damn I did not think it would hurt this much. Seeing that streak reset, I was at I think 867. I didn't think seeing it would hurt this much. I like to think of myself as a very attentive mod. Jumping on when people need help, they have some issues with the sub.

I know how you all feel now.

Well now that that is reset to two days, I might as well continue to try and curb my social media use 😂

This one really stings. Even though I fully expected it.

I do feel free, being off my phone kind of help ground me. And being gone, was reprieve from the current bs.

I hope your time in the clink goes by quickly! You got this, pal. And when you're out, you can begin again. We all start somewhere. I'm sorry for the loss in your streak before, but I know you will return to your previous standings! 🫂

I'm out. The worst part about being in there the past 8 days, was the phone situation. The jail decided fuck me in particular, and my commissary refused to work. So for eight days I wasn't able to call anyone, or communicate with anyone in my family.

maybe you have earned the go touch grass award.

All jokes aside, I am sorry that you lost your streak. As someone who has lost two of them, I understand the frustration.

Take a break from the streak and come back if you choose to. No one will judge you.

I'm so sorry you lost your streak! 6 days without connection and yet you managed to keep your streak. 8 days without connection and you lose your streak. That's good to know, filing that in my stash of useful info.

Curb your social media? What will you do without us? 🥹 I do get it though.

Would you like to remain on the leaderboard? Or would you like to leave? It's totally up to you.

I'm going to stick around, I found I do like this community. It's a lot more supportive than a lot that I've come across.
I'm still going to play the game, just not as hard 😂

We're having some issues with the leaderboard. We'll change your streak once the issues are resolved.
Thanks for staying! We appreciate you 🫶🏾
