šļø Day 1 ā Describing Myself.


This is part of my āCode Comeback Diariesā series where I rebuild my focus, skills, and career ā one day at a time.
š A Quick Intro
My name is Prince. Iām from a small town in West Bengal, India. Iāve always been a shy, introverted guy ā so I donāt have a big social circle (right now itās maybe three friends... or honestly just one š).
I grew up doing well in studies ā scored 92% in 10th grade. But thereās not much āexcitingā to know about me, so letās get to the real story.
š³ļø The Drop
Fast forward to now ā I just completed 12th grade (Science stream), and the results were a huge drop: 72%, despite preparing for the JEE.
So what happened?
No, I wasnāt on drugs or alcohol.
My addictions were different: porn, masturbation, endless scrolling.
It started as a way to cope. I had no one to talk to, and all-day study stress made those habits feel like a ābreak.ā
Until I couldnāt break from them anymore.
š§ The Realization
I didnāt notice when those habits went from āreliefā to chains.
And now? I feel the toll. Mentally. Physically. Spiritually.
Iāve hit a point where I know it has to change.
š» The Rebuild Starts Here
So Iām choosing to fight back.
Not with perfection. But with purpose.
This blog will document my journey of:
Escaping digital addiction
Learning to code daily
Building discipline through small wins
Regaining control over my mind & body
If youāre in the same boat ā stick with me. Weāre not alone.
Letās build the version of ourselves we were always meant to be.
See you in the next one.
ā Prince
