Hello comrades and welcome to the fifth improvement megathread of September! bonfire

Only two more days until October, it's a good time to make some plans for the following month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you have any plans for October?
  • 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?

Good luck with your goals! unity

    It's been my 11th week in a row working out for 1 hour or more at least 4 days a week, as well as my 10th week doing at least half an hour of French and German lessons every day. 3rd week in a row studying medical literature at least 2 hours a day Monday to Saturday.

    My plan for October is to engage in party activities for an ongoing campaign, as well as try to consolidate my studying routine. In November, I will reduce workout time to 3 days per week, and not go much over an hour each day (currently I spend about 1.5 - 2 hours), so I can focus more on medical literature and improve fast on that front.

    So far off drugs (except caffeine and some alcohol) for 3 months, psychologically stable (I think?). Will quit coffee starting in February, or sooner if I become unstable again before that.

      Those are some powerful streaks, keep it up rat-salute-2

      Have you tried to substitute coffee with green tea or yerba mate? Those also have caffeine but they are much healthier than coffee

        Thank you for the advice! I have some green tea lying around at home somewhere, it's been literal years since I last had it lol. It's definitely time.
