Hi comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of March!

We are in the middle of March and there are exactly 2 more full weeks until the end of the month. This is a good time to review your progress so far and set goals or priorities for the rest of the month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • What would you like to do next week?
  • Which aspect are you currently focused on improving?
  • 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?

Good luck with your goals!

      I think just being honest about your experiences and goals goes a long way. It helps to find a therapist that has dealt with family relationship issues (usually they list it somewhere). In general just make sure you feel comfortable with your therapist, they aren't being judgemental, and they ask you engaging questions that get you to open up about your situation and start working through things. At least for me it was extremely difficult to talk about at first, but got easier with each session.
