Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of August! bonfire

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 the following 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: "(Let us) make the decisions of the 25th meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union reality! Make the bond between the Hammer and Sickle stronger!"

Good luck with your goals! rainbow-has

    Things have been rough the past few weeks. my stomach problems have largely gone away but I'm still unsure what the issue was in the first place. It could be something as simple as I caught a stomach bug but there are dozens of other potential things it could be. However since I don't have insurance I guess I'll never know.

    My body is tired. I helped my in laws move a shitload of antique furniture on Sunday as well as having an outdoor event for work that included hauling ~50lbs of product on my motorcycle on Saturday and then standing in the sun/heat for ~6 hours. On top of my regular job consisting of moving heavy shit all the time. Suffice to say I'm impressed at my bodies strength at times considering I don't lift weights outside of life. I really wish I had a home gym to lift because I am adamantly refusing to go to gyms anymore.

    All that being said, I have maintained my sobriety streak still. I don't really have any goals besides keep on keeping on. I wish I could pivot to a new job but I honestly feel trapped at this point. Getting out of this line of work feels insurmountable given my lack of education/credentials.
