Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of March!

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • It's the first Sunday of the month. Is there something that you wish to accomplish or improve in March?
  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week or month? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

I'm wishing everybody a great March! unity

    Had a great week of workouts, streak from Monday to Thursday. However, I kinda overdid it with the poppers (sex drug) this week, which I'm very new to. I think it may be best for me not to buy more when these run out, or at least make a hard-and-fast rule never to use them by myself. It impacted my sleep negatively as my sex life has been doing for the last few weeks. First drug I've had trouble controlling myself with. AFAIK the risks of using the drug moderately aren't very high, but if it's making me stay up late when I didn't mean to, that's not sustainable.

    Mood has been fantastic except when I'm sleepy. I spent quality time with an old friend one night this week. We even cuddled a bit (it's platonic I swear). Also I'm planning to meet up with an old friend that I'm kinda attracted to today, but the plan is to get to know him for a month or so before I consider making any romantic moves. We share a lot of interests.

    I'm also organizing my space slowly but surely. I got a huge-ass bookshelf and a peaches crate for my records so my books and vinyl aren't piled up in the corner. Next is organizing my closet. My stuff in there is organized chaos... I can always find what I'm looking for... but it could take up to 20 minutes.

    I'm also putting in some time on my instruments, but I need to really set a schedule this month. I've said that before and never got around to it but it's like, literally the most important thing so I can't keep putting off regimenting my work day. At least my workouts are scheduled.

    My sexual behavior has been pretty risky lately so I'm getting on PREP. Just gotta get some lab tests done and I can get started on it again and after 1 month I never have to worry about contracting HIV again.
