In October, I took the month off alcohol. It was difficult sometimes due to social pressure, habit, and shitty days. But I made it the whole month and felt proud of myself.
For December, I decided to take the month of social media. It's day 2 and I've already opened Facebook out of habit 4 times. It's just so deeply ingrained in my habits.
I'm thinking of giving up video games in January and meat in February. I don't think either of those will be as difficult.
- cylinder 8y agoManually unfollow everyone. It takes time but worth it. I never check FB anymore (over two years) because I have no news feed. I use Messenger still, unfortunately.
- mabbo 8y agoThat creates an unneeded amount of work come January of re-following everyone and everything I want to follow. This is a month experiment, not a permanent life change. At least, so far that's all it is.

- dorchadas 8y agoI bit the bullet and deactivated my Facebook a few weeks ago. The first few days I found myself going to website a lot, but seeing the login screen was always enough to make me exit out of it. Now, I rarely even start to type Facebook.com in, and only end up there if following a link from elsewhere.
- cageface 8y agoI found giving up meat to be a lot easier once I started cooking at home. If you eat in restaurants a lot it's more difficult, although I've found that restaurants in the U.S. and Europe are much more likely to have some non-meat options now than they were even a few years ago.
