Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of May! There is one more week left in May, let's make it count.
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 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: "No!"
Good luck with your goals!

I'd like to be added! Ironically, one of my goals is to be less terminally online, and to spend less time scrolling hexbear and refreshing to see new threads, but hey, I'll take my accountability from where I can get it.
Welcome aboard comrade, we are happy to have you!
In regards to being terminally online, I think it's a systemic issue. Everybody is so starved for basic human needs (meaning, community, affection, etc) that it's impossible to resist the free dopamine box. It's like being a rat in a cage, of course everybody is gonna get addicted to the only thing that gives you a tiny hit of pleasure.
Hell yeah that's a goal of mine too! It's soooo hard though. I deleted Instagram and Reddit (again) and it's at least helped me to pay more attention during movies 😅 step in the right direction I guess. Now I need to be less of a cave troll and touch more fucking grass. How have you done with it so far?
