First of all - Here's the link to the roosh blog post in question as it seems nobody has posted it yet:

I have to say that this one sentence above really nails it.
If you don't keep feeding your own fire, the flames will reduce and eventually go out....and it takes ages each time for it to be re-kindled once it's spent.
It's been over 3 years since I became red pill aware and consciously started using/applying game and I know that if I'm not getting the results I want, it's nothing but my own fault for not putting in the work and staying active. If you are not consistently doing the approaches on hot girls that make you nervous (especially with daygame) and pushing out of your comfort zone, it's very easy to get lazy and go back to a semi beta-like state. I know for a fact that my confidences drops when I'm going through a dryspell that's due to laziness/making excuses on my part.
I think a common misunderstanding for newbies is that killing your old beta self is some kind of one-off, one-time thing and irreversible from then on.
No, it is not.
You have to put in work year in and year out to stay 100% red pill. Hence why I started the thread asking:
How many years did it take you to fully destroy ALL your old beta habits ?
Gaming is like training muscles that need to be flexed on a weekly basis to stay in shape. Backsliding to beta is similar to getting fat again after you've spent a lot of time and effort losing a lot of weight. You need to monitor yourself constantly and having amazing self discipline in stopping yourself in regressing to old bad habits, while at the same time encouraging the new good ones.
I also know that if each year isn't better than the last one, then I'm not putting in enough work.

Great quote in the comments from thegmanifesto:
"Game is like throwing logs onto a fire. Game is not like building a house."
