I see this same behavior in MYSELF, "red-pilled" friends, 4chan, in most who are familiar with TRP; but I don't want to focus on others so instead I will describe my life. I Swallow TRP, then vomit out undigested pill a few days/weeks later and fall back into my computer chair.
Even someone as lost as me can clearly see that there is a HUGE GAP between those read+know vs those who practice+understand. There are endless phonies who really convinced themselves they are red-pilled but only a tiny minority actually live a life of their own choosing.
I've gone through the following cycle countless times:
- Lost in a pleasure prison of my own construction. Endless internet, gaming, and drug consumption. Zero progress toward goals.
- Stumble upon some enlightening video or post leading me to motivation.
- Take immediate and strong actions, read, set goals and plans, deleting apps and games, promises and deadlines.
- Live my true self My true life. These few days/weeks are the only time I'm truly living. I feel unstoppable looking into the future I could have if I stick to my goals.
- Wakeup 2 months later realizing I've somehow done a full circle all the way back to square 1. Repeat.
How do I escape this pleasure prison? I do not like the man/habits I've created.
My recent ideas have all been centered around running away from this room, leaving all my belongings/habits and getting an apt across country but as I think about it more this seems more like a childish waste of brainpower than an actual solution.
I can clearly see where I want to be in a few weeks/months/years but all attempts so far have led me to this computer chair with minimal results.
Can any of you see my fatal flaw? ANY advice will be cherished by me!

Experience, discipline, and a firm commitment to continuous improvement.
All of that shit is mad addicting; it was designed to be addicting. You’re gonna have times where you relapse; best way to measure your progress imo is how much longer you can go before you start to revert.
Eventually, your relapse phases will become shorter ie you might catch yourself binging on Netflix/video games/porn for a day or two and then you snap yourself out of it and hop back on grind mode.
Just keep at it one day at a time. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.

Maybe you'll find some answers between point 4. and 5. You basically just skipped the part about what happens there, which seems to be the important bit. Write a log or something, I don't really know, other than this being an issue with discipline.

Remove access to nr. 1. Sell your pc and replace with a pad or a shitty laptop that can barely surf the internet. Get rid of the tv. Stop contacting bad friends. Delete drug contacts and toss that shit. Etc.

A lot of this doesn't sound like it's red-pilled vs blue-pill. It sounds like you have fundamental addictive qualities and habits that you need to kick and accept that you need to fix first.
I think if you kick some of the addiction you seem to have that your actual red-pilled goals will come through more and you can start applying TRP

I basically sold all my shit, quit my shitty job, and flew to the other side of the planet. Best thing I ever did for myself. Sometimes that's what it takes. There's nothing like starving on the streets of Jakarta to get you motivated.
