Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of June! hexbear-pride

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 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: Friendship forever for the happiness of nations!

Good luck with your goals! rainbow-has

    Sobriety streak continues to day ~60. Another get together with friends came and went successfully. I’ve got a pretty big hang out at a friend’s lake house coming up that I normally get really drunk/high at as a yearly thing so the thought is there to have some fun with my friends and drink/smoke. But also, I’m curious to see what the weekend would be like sober for the first time so if nothing else I’ll try it this year without anything.

    I’ve started some light exercises and am really enjoying how my body feels and responds to exercise now. It feels like everything is working better. Coupled with my digestive issues all but going away and my diet vastly improving, I’m feeling better than I have in a very long time.

    As for plans and goals, I’m planning on picking up some dumbbells soon and actually starting to lift again. I was initially going to stick with bodyweight stuff but I did a deadlift and I remembered how much I enjoy picking up heavy things. My home gym plans are coming together. I’ll also be picking up a rowing machine for glorious back gains
