Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of June! There is one more full week left to finish the month strong.
Some discussion ideas:
- How was your week?
- Do you have some plans or goals for next week?
- Do you have any sober days or streaks?
Poster caption
“The Red Army is bringing liberation to the oppressed of the whole world”.
This poster was issued in 1919 and it contains two emblems of the Soviet Union in use during that period.
The emblem of the hammer and plow (visible in the small red star at lower right) is the earliest Soviet emblem. It was first used in April 1918 as a badge for the Red Army. The hammer and sickle (visible on the flag) was officially recognized in July 1918 when the Congress of Soviets approved it as the state seal.
Not seen on this poster is the crest of the Soviet Union (a hammer and sickle, globe and two shafts of wheat with banners of the Soviet republics). The crest was approved in 1923.
Good luck with your goals!
I’m officially one week free of weed! First of all, I want to say a big thank you to @moonlake@hexbear.net for this self improvement thread, which has been something I look forward to every week to track my progress. This has really been a great resource for me and the support has been great.
So a week ago today I threw out my weed, grinder, pipe, lighter, everything. Since then not being high has been very easy, to be honest. I’ve had a few moments where I thought it would be nice to smoke some weed, but never have I regretted throwing my stuff away. I feel like I have so much more free time now to write and read and draw and spend with my friend. When I was getting high, I would just count all of that time as void, as if it was time I was spending sleeping or commuting. I couldn’t be productive at all, all I could do was eat loads and watch House MD.
Other than that, I worked out three times this week, went bouldering with a friend once, and ate pretty healthily all around. I’ve been at work 5 days this week, chasing that bag, getting money for myself to help my parents if I can. I’ve been writing my fantasy novel a bit, I’m up to 15,000 words with no intention of stopping and I’m finally figuring out some of the minutae of the plot and map. As of this week I have officially lost 5 whole kilograms which I’m very proud of. Overall I feel this was a very good week for me.
Congratulations on your streak!
And thank you for the shout out, I am really glad to hear that others are also looking forward to the megathread every week
