Hello comrades and welcome to the second improvement megathread of October! 
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 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! 
Today is day one of not drinking again. I drank something like 3 liters in a week or so and my insides started hurting. I drank so much that in the maybe week and a half that I was drinking again I put on 9-10 lbs. I really need to figure out why I drink so hard when I do drink because if it’s not alcohol it’s something else. Or, as my 6 months of sobriety showed, eventually the same reason I drank to begin with reared it’s ugly head again and I’m into another bender.
The only thing I’ve managed to be consistent with is not missing a day riding my motorcycle. Through rain and shine, hot and now cold I keep riding. There’s something weirdly appealing about riding in shitty conditions. And now that it’s getting cold out, I’ve been getting a lot of cold rides in.
Hell yeah, I’m glad to hear that you’re already back on the horse so quickly. Good luck with your sobriety and keep us posted in the thread about your progress!
Btw I recommend writing a journal, it’s good when you are trying to figure out what is triggering your behavior. If you get a craving, you can write down where you were, what you were doing, how you feel, what you were thinking about and so on. Eventually you start noticing patterns and then you can predict what situation triggers a craving in order to avoid it.
