Hi comrades and welcome to the second weekly improvement megathread!

I am glad to see that there was a lot of engagement in the first megathread and that people were checking in throughout the week.

Same as the last week, here are some ideas for discussion:

  • Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • What would you like to do next week?
  • What aspect of life would you like to improve?
  • 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 to everybody with your goals! unity

      violence, suppression, or bootstraps.

      are not fucking useful goddamn.

      folk “remedies” that don’t work are more dangerous than doing nothing. it’s 1:1 analogous with steve jobs eating a magic diet instead of getting actual cancer treatment. you can’t “lol bro just think positive bro just lift bro just be zen bro just murder people bro” through it.

        Also, like you don’t know me at all, you don’t know what I’ve gone through in my life or any of my circumstances. When you say shit like this it comes off very arrogant, as if you know better than I do for what is working and has worked for my problems.

          It’s best to have all your rebuttals in one comment, edited on if needed, rather than replying a bunch of times, as it begins to become harassment at a certain point. Even if I agree with the point you’re making.
