Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of November! bonfire Two more weeks to go, plenty of time to kick some ass!


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 goals or plans 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: Unite to achieve an even greater victory!

Tuanjie qilai, zhengqu gengdade shengli!

团结起来,争取更大的胜利!


Good luck with your goals! solidarity

    stress, mental health improvement, near meltdown, sobriety

    Had the kind of day yesterday where every inanimate object and technological gizmo were conspiring against me personally

    Anything on a shelf fell off, anything I looked at wrong fell over, every app crashed or froze, Bluetooth wouldn't pair, a broom broke off in the bristle head thing so I couldn't even just replace the stick part without chiseling out the end of the old broken stick, etc

    Just exhausting tedious stressful bullshit non stop

    Still managed to make myself go to the gym and had a relatively good leg day

    Absolutely gassed, walking funny, finally get to the shower

    The shower curtain bar fucking falls off and on my head, don't have my glasses on, can't see shit to fix it, water still running and getting on the floor, just a shit show

    ALMOST lose my fucking shit and start throwing everything and breaking shit (more)

    Manage to do DBT self dialogue shit after I loudly curse a couple times and Velma without her glasses/McGyver my way out of that bullshit

    Almost road rage at a dumbass not using their blinker on the way home and get pissed at my shitmobile's screechy fan belt for the heater/AC trying to defog the windows and punch the horn a couple times

    Didn't lose control

    Old me definitely would have and this would've made me go on an 80 proof 1.75L nosedive for a couple days, stayed dry this time

    One day at a time nyet

    The fuckin' way she goes bud aubrey-pain
