poll (also would love to hear more detailed responses): have you ever "just decided" or "just willed" that you would change in some way, e.g. give up smoking or drinking, become a kinder person, a large change like that? if so, did it stick?

i might be thinking of multiple TLP posts but this is one of them; searching for "kind of person" returns a few posts https://t.co/qK2CkMI9Sp

@QiaochuYuan missed the poll but for reference: yes | yes, sometimes one particularly powerful success with quitting a videogame cold-turkey I'd been playing intermittently compulsively for ~6mo this blog post somewhat describes how: https://t.co/XFmmpUXV9u

@QiaochuYuan I gave up meat one day in 2008. Accidentally ate something w chicken in it the next day. But after that, didn’t touch meat until 2015 or so when some radical worldview shifts forced me to reevaluate the issue.
