Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of September! It’s the middle day of the month, good time to review your progress so far and remind yourself of your goals for the rest of the month. 
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- How is your September going so far?
- 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! 
I’ve been sober off edibles for a week now and did some novel reading. I’ve been trying to comfort and entertain myself without spending money, and I went a whole week without making a purchase.
I got paid today though, so I’m going to try to make it stick. Reading the books and playing the games I already have and facing my issues instead of trying to cope with stress in unhealthy ways.
I get that, the games which I don’t own seem much more exciting than those I already have. What are you reading/playing?
Yeah. It’s FOMO for me. I want to be part of the conversation sometimes and these games just stop being active.
Playing Skyrim, Final Fantasy X-2 and Theatrhythm on Switch.
Reading Slewfoot, about a woman in the 1600s being tormented by puritans and possibly a nature spirit or demon.
