Milestone
One hundred thirty-five days cannabis-free. Day 228 alcohol-free. Morning: 7hrs very deep restorative sleep, vivid dreams, not too groggy, fleeting creative ideas (didn't stick), mood 5. Algorithm reset: hid non-recovery videos (stitch retired until Phase 2). Early signs positive: 25% retention on recovery video, 250 views, 2 likes, 1 follow. Substack: 14+ likes from other publishers (peers), systematic reader going through raw logs and podcast. Podcast page within Substack getting likes. Client's YouTube channel got 45 subscribers in one day — frustration at algorithm lottery. Name reverted to 'The DAM Project' (Morgan Muffel experiment made no difference). Reddit: opened project account (u/MorgenMuffel). Will join r/leaves, r/Petioles. May create own subreddit. Negativity stems from the small niche (quitting weed after 35 years, cognitive repair). The map is for the few, not the masses. Fog 0. Rubble 0. Fuel normal. Immune 10. Mood 5. Stable enough day. 48 days to Phase 2.
Cognitive State
Stable. Negativity from niche size. Function intact.

Strategic Developments
- [Gold-Note: The Algorithm Reset] — Stitch retired. Non-recovery videos hidden. Early signs positive: 25% retention, follow. The algorithm is re-evaluating. - [Gold-Note: Reddit Is the Homeland] — The over-34, lurkers, searchers are on Reddit. r/leaves, r/Petioles. The map belongs there. - [Signal: Substack Peers Liking] — 14+ likes from other publishers. The craft is recognised. The door to collaboration may open here. - [Pattern: Negativity from Niche Size] — The map is for the few. The algorithm punishes the niche. The frustration is real. The mission is unchanged. - [Client's YouTube Success] — 45 subscribers in a day. Algorithm lottery. Comparison is the thief. The map is not in competition. - [48 Days] — Phase 2 approaches. The weekly waffle. The book. The exit from daily grind.

Day 135. The algorithm reset. The stitch rests. The recovery video holds (25% retention, a follow). Substack peers like the map. Reddit is opened. The homeland awaits. The negativity comes from the niche — small, slow, invisible to the algorithm. But the map is for the few. The lighthouse doesn't need a crowd. 48 days. The click is coming. From Reddit. From the podcast. From the methodical reader. Not from the lottery.
