Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of August! 
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 the following 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! 
I agree completely about journaling, I’ve been journaling daily for years. I would say it’s the most important habit that I ever developed. I also agree that it’s essential for dudes because we are trained to suffer stoically and never talk about our problems, especially concerning emotional and mental health.
If you’re into podcasts, check out Overdue, it’s a great podcast about books. The hosts are very nice and have good politics.
