Happy belated birthday, THD. :V

Also, congrats on getting through all thirty days for the second time.

Conclusions

Drinking only water was the easier part of the challenge, in the long run. Once the withdrawal symptoms ended, I reacquired my taste for water, and this time, it's a habit I intend to keep going.

As for staying off the Internet for a longer period of time, things went great when I not only had work to accomplish, but other varied activities like going somewhere to eat or doing something else like that. My attempts to start another kind of at-home hobby didn't really stick well. Even though I was off the internet, I was still at my computer a lot, and it wasn't very interesting. If I were to attempt this again, I think it'd be good to have more off-computer activities (something else besides reading, I do that enough). As such, this habit needs some work, so I'm probably going to drop it for now until I can really fix it. I still plan to get all my work done before jumping online, though-it's served me well thus far.

Thanks to everyone who's read this thread or commented on it.
