Self improvement

Putting myself through periods of starvation and then unhealthy eating. I went a day without both food and water. I've been laying in bed the past 2 months. I'm waiting to die from starvation or a heart attack. Today I only ate pie, half a dozen cookies, milk, and some pork.

I undone the noose off my bedroom ceiling, but I cannot bring myself to undo the loop.

Nullified my porn addiction.
Do everything I can to read more books.
Started writing myself even.
Been wooing this Catholic girl.
If I could just settle myself a stable income, I'd be set.

How I wish to do all this…I was on the same path as you, one misstep and I fell even deeper in the hole of the spider.

Been fasting(20 hours) with keto diet and use the gym for the past 2 months, I hear remarks about how cute I am now :) Oh and also planning on starting philosophy with the Greeks and read all or most of the works by Kierkegaard.

Nice. I am on a similar path although I am being drained right now by a lot of work.
One thing that stands off for me: When reading books with "plot"(not theology/politics/philosophy, etc.) war memoirs/stories always cheer me up in my effort to become better. You read about someone struggling beyond his strength and it kind of motivates you towards something higher. I would definitely recommend it

Resumed the working out today.
Feels good. Really good. A new surge to get back into doing things

everytime I make it a few days in something terrible happens (car breaking down, family members getting divorced, etc)
Not him but I can give you my two cents on this. I've given up a couple of years ago cold turkey for 9 months after 10 years smoking, and now doing it again (as in, quitting) from this ny just gone after foolishly, casually, picking it up after initial said 9 months (been back smoking full time for over a year).

Point is, I did it because, at the time (like now), I was committed to doing it. To be blunt, you've just realed off a bunch of excuses as to why you haven't succeeded in the past. I don't think they had anything to do with it? Maybe you've been smoking longer than me and have a heavier addiction idk. But you need to want to do it, and your post sounds like a bunch of excuses more than anything, hope you manage it though. Sorry if this wasn't very helpful.

Congrats man

Hope these are jokes anons and not geuinely representative of your situations and thinly veiled cries for help

reading Bible

what the hell is that pic?

don't worry about improving yourself.
help others improve themselves.

Where do you think we are?

Hold on user, God didn't put you here for no reason.

Probably some quote by lolbergtarian chosenite Ayn Rand made in anime style.

last year i quit hard drugs, this year i trying quit alcohol and weed maybe cigarettes too
I know it does not sound impressive, but I thought I would take drugs until I died

You'd be amazed on what kind of suffering some people go through if they quit hard drugs. It may not impress you, but you impressed me.

it was a few crazy years with lsd, mushrooms, ecstasy and snorted some shit
but i suppose it could be much worse because I managed to quit

reading as much as i can and going to the gym regularly, ive also been enjoying alcohol free beers more

I want to start exercising, and when winter ends spend more time outdoors, though I'm not sure how to commit to it. I also want to clean out my place and get rid of stuff I no longer need; would like to downsize eventually because people who downsize generally consume less unnecessary things. I was looking into what it's like to live off the grid or in a tiny house or bus, but apparently all of those things have legal issues that I don't know how to even begin to address.

Others will respond better if you have a good grasp on your own life. Never seek self improvement out of vanity, for money, or for attracting a woman, but keeping your body healthy, earning a modest but stable income and working hard at that, some form of personal study with a lot of ready (both the Bible and other thing), even getting a totally secular hobby just to appear more rounded will make you a lot more convincing when you give other advice and enable you to actively help others in a better way.

Are you into libertarianism or you just happen to like the quotes?
just curious

I am libertarian

Going back to get my GED so I can start college. I'll start college at 23 at the earliest but better late than never I guess.

Lifting, reading, spending less time on chans and internet in general, eating healthier.
