Hello comrades and welcome to the first megathread of November! 
It’s a good time to set your intentions for the month.
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you have any goals or plans for November?
- Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- 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?
Poster caption: “Criticize the old world and build a new world with Mao Zedong Thought as a weapon”
Top right corner: “All erroneous ideas, all poisonous weeds, all ghosts and monsters, must be subjected to criticism; in no circumstance should they be allowed to spread unchecked.”
(凡是错误的思想,凡是 毒草,凡是牛鬼蛇神,都应 该进行批判,决不能让它们 自由泛滥)
Good luck with your goals! 
This week has been a mixed bag for me. I had a few days where I didn’t drink at all. I also had a few days where I started drinking basically as soon as I woke up and didn’t stop until I fell asleep. Falling off the wagon is difficult because all of my worst habits feel like they got dialed up an extra notch or two. I’ve been entertaining the idea of smoking weed again to stop drinking but I can’t tell if I’m just deluding myself to start smoking weed again after ~8 months. On one hand, when I smoke I don’t drink anymore and I’m genuinely worried that I need the assistance. On the other hand, is this just falling off the wagon v2? I guess I’ll see how well I do this week to know if I need the help or not.
On a positive note: I’ve been lifting more. I often forget how strong I actually am. Turns out having a physically demanding job just naturally builds muscle over time. I weighed myself at 195 the other day, which is the most I’ve literally ever weighed. Most of my gains are probably liquor weight and cooking at home more. But I still have a 4 pack bordering on a 6? I still have cum gutters? I just need to get my shit together on the drinking and keep lifting and I’ll be my goal of a Communist himbo.
