Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of August! 
It's the beginning of the month and there are 4 full weeks until the end of the month. This is a good time to make some plans for the month.
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- 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 plans or goals for August?
- 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! 
Fuck, it just keeps getting worse. I don’t even know what I did wrong. I walked, ran, ate reasonably, went to bed reasonably, and suddenly I just feel like total garbage and can barely get out of bed for days. I suspect a near future deadline is really messing with me, not because it’s very special, but because I really tried hard every day and I can’t get it done. I don’t know what else to do. Maybe this is just what the brain damage is like after repeated covid infections. I’m going to keep trying, but it’s really hard.
Give yourself a break, you didn't do anything wrong. Remember that we live in hellworld on a prison planet. None of this shit is your fault.
I'm the same way, I can't relax when I have a deadline hanging over me. Let us know if it's something we can help with
