Health and Fitness needs to be number 1 - part of that is reducing alcohol intake which is difficult as I am part of a very active social group which has a lot of alcohol and drug abuse. Financially - reducing my cost base and actually getting to a new highest "net worth" figure (I've spent a lot on self education which has been very fruitful but I need that "fuck you money") Otherwise I need to diversify my income a…

It sounds like it's not too much of an issue for you yet, but you do see the affects drinking/drugs has on you. It's good that you are able to sense this before it has a chance to take hold of you. I was an alcoholic/addict for many many years and remember laughing it off when ex-addicts or recovering alcoholics would tell me that they were so much happier when they'd quit. Now I understand what they meant.

Though I'm wondering if there's ever a possibility for us obsessive-addicts type to be able to reach a comfortable and well-balanced place where we can enjoy a drink or two without everything spiraling out into madness. Probably not...

I have two big goals: - I want to complete my CS degree, get a post-graduation work permit (I am a US citizen going to school in Canada), and find a full time job - I'd like to learn to deal with my anxiety better. I have a diagnosed disorder, and lately it has made it incredibly difficult to enjoy doing things outside of my comfort zone. I often have problems eating and socializing, and I would like to start seeing…

Improving diet and exercise habits. Diet > more plant based Exercise > more “zone 3” cardio training and maintenance level weightlifting.

Curious why more plant based is considered an improvement?
