Yeah, I kind of ended up being one after moving to France but now it has gotten interesting and I wouldn't mind getting better at it.
Alcohol: a bit better, I had a look at my budgeting app and despite all the free beers you get working in restaurants the cost over 3 months gave me more motivation to cut down.
Gaming: I've barely thought about it for at least a week.
Nicotine: the snus pouches are being banned in France in a few days and tobacco shops are running out of stock. It'll be a sharp withdrawal but the nanny state will do my work for me soon.
Overall I'm getting much better sleep, which was the overall goal in the first place. I have a questionably reliable guy promising me a job next month which would finally involve me not finishing work at 2am.

Odd standard, US military bases open your entire country to bombing.
Laos and Cambodia were bombed by the US for similar reasons no?

No progress between the last post and this Wednesday (St. Patrick's Day), doing well since.

No I don't think I could do that, there are good times to drink alcohol. I would like to quit fully for a few months though and then make drinking the exception rather than a habit.

My resolutions were to quit nicotine, alcohol and video games.
I haven't succeeded at any of them, but I'm a bit bored of videogames right now, nicotine pouches are being banned in France next month so that'll force the issue, and I'm drinking more often but less heavily so the hangovers have stopped being an issue.
I think I've already got some good positive habits that I do automatically if I have the time but they're all downstream of not having a messed up sleep schedule, and the above 3 things are the main contributers to that.
Thanks. I never had a habit of drinking at my place, my main problem is always being around bars due to work and the ease at which you can end up going for a pint to celebrate a difficult shift/a birthday/a friend visiting/another birthday/someone quitting work etc. All these once in a while events can add up to a lot.
