Hello comrades and welcome to the second improvement megathread of July!

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any plans or goals for next week?
  • 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?

Poster caption: "(come) To our construction site, friends!

Greetings to the builders of the Yenisey cascade (of dams)!"

Good luck with your goals! unity

    Nothing really eventful happened this past week for me tbh. I maintained my sobriety streak. I've maintained my eating and did light exercise. I went on a 4 hour round trip motorcycle ride that left my butt and shoulders sore for like 4 days since my partner was on the back. I swam in a lake and had a beautiful day in the sun. For some reason or another I'm have zero issue with the heat despite everyone else in my life seemingly struggling hard with it.

    The big thing I want to work on improving now is my employment. It's not a great fit for me at this point and the pay is mediocre as best with zero benefits. I had put off finding a new job for a while now because my work commute is so short but the feeling that I'm wasting my life in this place is becoming overwhelming. I have no real education (associates degree gang) so my options are pretty limited. I have a shitload of experience but have no idea how well that would translate over to different fields
