I have been on a regular schedule for the last few months. I make myself get to work early, work hard, got to the gym then come home and take care of any cleaning or other things before I can play ffxi. I tend to treat ffxi as a reward for a good day's work instead of having a beer or two. I reward myself for a good week with beers on the weekend.

To the people talking about quitting smoking, I heard that some scientists have found something that practically vaccinates you to the effects of nicotine in your brain, so you don't find it pleasurable anymore. They've got a 50% success rate on their trial patients, with minimal side effects. They say they're aiming to have it out within a couple years, once they get the success rate up to 70%, and cut down on the side effects.

And Tipsy, I don't know if you're high, drunk, 12, or just plain stupid, but if you don't care about improving yourself, get out of this thread. Stop trying to cause trouble, some people here are actually trying to make themselves a better person, and going "PFFFFFFFFFT LOLOLOLOL WHY DO THAT LOL" isn't helping anyone.

Re: What's something you've done to improve yourself lately?

I managed to quit smoking a little bit ago, not once cig since January. I couldn't care less about my health at this point, but they passed laws banning me from smoking pretty much everywhere other than my bedroom, and I don't like to smoke where I sleep because of the smell. So I quit smoking out of sheer annoyance.

I did also cut back my drinking heavily, and in what is probably highly related news I haven't been late to work in almost 2 months.

Now if I can just stop wasting time chatting on forums, and actually get something done at work!

Re: What's something you've done to improve yourself lately?

For quiting smoking i sugjest taking this prescription called Zyban. I took it for about a month. First week you take it you keep smoking then you just stop the second week and double the dose. Then continue taking it for like 3 months. I just stopped after a month because I didnt feel the need for it anymore. The key is buy a pack of cigars(the ones that look like brown ciggerettes) that will help you get over putting cigs in your mouth all the time. They taste like crap. Anyway the Zyban just makes the ciggs seem very unapealing. I smoked for 13 years and I have been off them for 2 years. I occasionally get hammered and smoke 1 but its rare. Give it a try. Some people sugjest the patch to go along with this method but they just made me feel crappy.
To improve myself. Got a divorce! (All Right!!!)

Let's see now, something I've done to improve myself...
I've started to try to go back to playing games *other* than FFXI. In the local arcades in the malls, even. Yeah, leaving my room and all. Scary.
I should try to muster up what little personal charisma and interpersonal skills I have and focusing that into meeting actual people, but people are scary at times, what with all their looking at you, and talking, and being there in front of you, and whatnot.
Actually, I'm just a really really really shy person, but once I get past that (somehow), I usually open up and can waste hours away just talking with people.

Yeah, I'm having problems at the "Muster Your Skills" step >.>

*sigh*

Its one of the most important things to do in Life Lillith, you can't lock yourself in a room and hope for happyness. I am a quiet person on occasions, but I learnt that you need to socialise with real people face to face, learn how to act with various people of all ages and interests or your life will always be distant. If you want to do well in a job, have a family, bf's and GF's the saying get out more rings true. Yup some people are scary at times but their are plenty of people you will like. I went to norway for a month with some people I met for only 6 hours. after a month we are all good friends, I am going to one of the girls houses on saturday for a BBQ and they are coming to me next month for the same. don't be a loner, just live...

Re: What's something you've done to improve yourself lately?

I helped at a Soup Kitchen, gave money to the poor, saved some puppies, fed starving kids in Africa....

Wait, that's what my parents want me to be.

Oh, and to better myself...I'm eating healthier I guess. More greens, less browns (And I mean chocolate.)
