Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of June! It’s the beginning of the month, great time to set your goals and priorities for this month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • How was your May?
  • Do you have any goals or priorities for June?
  • 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! yuri

    We went on our yearly vacation a week ago, and despite eating and drinking a lot, I didn’t really gain any weight. I’m hoping to drop some weight this summer. I got a more physical job, and I’m eating better.

    We had to put our dog to sleep right before the trip, and the lead up to that was very stressful. We quit doing yoga, didn’t have time for ourselves or motivation to go hiking or anything. I also had a really bad bite on one of my fingers, so my hand was unusable for a few weeks. I’m sure I’m forgetting some other BS.

    Anyway, all this is to say, we plan on starting yoga again tomorrow, and I’m getting motivation to start doing things that need doing around here. That’s my short term improvement plan. I’m not at rock bottom, but it’s been a while since I’ve slacked off this hard.

      My condolences. Putting a pet down is never easy heart-sickle

        Thank you. It was really hard watching her go down hill and having to decide when it was time. I miss her, but she’s not struggling anymore, and our relationship is improving.
