Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of December! bonfire

We recently had an influx of new users and I'd love to hear from them. This is the weekly improvement thread where you can say how you're doing, post your Ws and Ls.

As leftists, there are many excellent reasons why we should strive to become the best version of ourselves. This is the space where we improve together and share our progress.

Here are some of our usual 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?

Good luck with your goals! unity

    This is definitely the place for posting L's, we all have them and it's important to share them as well. I had a bunch of L's this year, mostly related to health issues. My turbo unsolicited advice: I remember your comments when you were posting massive W's in the thread week after week, maybe it would be a good idea to read them unity

      My problem is that all of my W's felt hollow. They didn't make me feel any better mentally nor change the structural shit that are the real foundational problems for me. Yes, physically I felt better. But that didn't cross over into other aspects of my life and that juxtaposition is part of what made me spiral. I'm still broke. I still hate my shitty job. I'm still not happy with my life in general. There are aspects of my life that are going alright and I do appreciate them but the big, foundational stuff feels even more like an unchanging monolith.
