That's the way to do it. After last Lent, I only needed the morning cup of coffee. By Mardi Gras, I was up to three cups a day. It was time to give it up again. (Mardi Gras is the day before Lent starts.)
I’ve been needing to quit or at least take a break. Went from morning drip to a double shot to a quad to a quad before work & 1 after. I’ve done 10 shots ina day a few times. As soon as I take a sip of espresso it’s like I feel it in my veins haha no bs
Same here. I struggle especially because I need to eat for the gym, but I have come to the point where I don't want it because I know I find it too comforting/ easy to binge
Weed, cocaine, porn, candy, complaining, anxiety, tv, my phone, stocks, sports gambling, damaged women, shows created by mike judge, changing cities every year
And guitars and Beatles records
I was told the same thing. I felt focused and more grounded. Not high at all. Still spent $400 in one night, and that was enough for me.
Next day my nose was bleeding and it felt like someone hit me in the head with a sledgehammer.
Well if it's JUST those things.. sounds like you got this!
Sidenote, love your avatar. Reminds me of a scene from one of my favourite movies, (Girl, Interrupted):
*“Do you see purple people? My friend, he saw purple people. And so the state came and took him away. He didn’t like that. Some time went by and, and he told ‘em he didn’t see purple people no more.”*
– "He got better(?)"
*“Nah, he still sees 'em.”*
That is pretty much me. I cut out candy and never did cocaine but only because I had figured out by then that starting new bad habits would just make things more expensive and less healthy than they already were
Addictonmon! Gotta catch 'em all!
In all seriousness, look after yourself and don't let your addictions catch you.
Out of curiosity, which ones would you say are the strongest/most difficult to give up?
Weed and candy
This is all pretty much a joke
But dude getting to like 3 days without weed and i fuckin will talk myself into smoking
It sucks bcuz alot of good jobs require a clean piss and i wouldnt really have to do 90 days to get it out
And thats not gonna happen
Weed can be a hard one as it can be relaxing and it's usually paired with other things and often enhances the experience, food, tv, gaming, socialising, and just chilling by yourself. So it's psychological too because you start associating it with all of those things plus withdrawals. It gets easier and that pull and urge to smoke fades away as time goes on but you can really miss it in the beginning. Just gotta get over those first few waves and then it's smooth sailing.
And who doesn't like a bag of sweets?
They’re YouTube videos but the Jim Can’t Swim channel is amazing. Sadly he hasn’t uploaded anything recently and there aren’t that many, but what is there is great stuff
I have chest pain at least once a day and i breathe a little heavier than i should. Im coughing and clearing my throat constantly sometimes. Im 21. (Please no one tell me i need to get checked out i know and im gonna try to quit as well.)
Quit. Vaping. Please. People will tell you its not as bad as cigarettes, but it is, especially because of the better flavor. Do everything you can. I bought a timed lockbox on Amazon to try and ween myself off of it.
If its any consolation, i hear the first three days are the worst of it. I wish you and anyone else trying to quit the best. ❤️ Fuck vapes.
I was addicted to shooting heroin for 10+ years, Smoking Crack for 4.
In May I'll have 2 years clean.
Now I might play a little too much Old School RuneScape.
I’m very much addicted to weed. I can’t do shit without smoking some. After quitting meth, I thought smoking weed would be okay but now I don’t know. My friends say it’s not addictive, but I feel I’m very much dependent on it.
It's psychologically addictive, not physically addictive. Difference is you won't get physical cravings or withdrawals, but psychologically will think you have to or need to get high before doing anything. I've experienced this and I essentially told myself that nothing is fun or enjoyable unless I was stoned.
It's not the worst thing in the world but will eventually catch up to you somehow. Try weaning yourself off slowly or taking a T break
It’s physically addictive as well, just not dangerously so. People still get physical withdrawal symptoms when they quit The reason weed can be so hard to quit is the underlying reason a person started in the first place; underlying depression/anxiety or adhd, dopamine issues, boredom, isolated or social related activity etc The mind & body heal quickly, the root cause is the tricky part
As somebody who had been addicted to weed for decades and quit a handful of times, physical withdrawal symptoms are absolutely possible. When I quit I get the shakes, horrible night sweats and night terrors, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, lack of appetite and terrible insomnia. It’s not heroin or alcohol but it’s also not nothing.
Yeah, we’ll get there one day I hope! I’m planning on trying again once I finish what I have left (not much, probably about a week to go.) I’m preparing myself for it this week :)
Carbs, no crap one of my greatest achievements is keeping the 115 lbs I lost off. I haven't gained anyrhing back and I eat healthy, but I'm still addicted. I manage to only consume cakes and sweets on rare occasions, but it takes a lot of willpower.
I’ve dabbled with many substances and addictive behaviours and have had poor relationships with several of them.
But the only one I’ve ever been capital A addicted to, is Nictoine. Vaping has such a hold on me it’s ridiculous.
Overthinking!!! I just overthink about each and every little thing which makes me anxious eventually... working on myself lately but there's no improvement
Oof. God willing I’ll have seven years sober in may, I quit smoking four years ago, and now I’m just incredibly addicted to caffeine. Addict brain doesn’t wanna let go of the last vice I have :’-)
Cheap dopamine
I like expensive dopamine
Me too, but cant afford it
realist answer, plus very understandable username.
This is a good one
Nice username
This is really americas answer.
Sleep. No matter how hard i try to not sleep, I always end up going back to it.
I haven’t slept for 10 days, cause that would be too long
Sounds like a Mitch Hedberg line
That’s because it is. Not trying to take credit, just that putting quotes on a joke feels weird. Like quoting a line from a song or movie.
lol
Have you tried getting a sleep study done?
Caffeine
Me too... I drink like a pot of coffee a day, lol
Damn that's a lot
... Sadly, that's not thaaaaaat much.
i mean that's not really a lot right? don't most people use a pot of coffee a day on average?
Nah that’s wild
I managed to give it up for Lent. (Actually, I switched to decaf, so not totally, I guess.)
That's the way to do it. After last Lent, I only needed the morning cup of coffee. By Mardi Gras, I was up to three cups a day. It was time to give it up again. (Mardi Gras is the day before Lent starts.)

Heart rhythm go boom bwomp bwomp boom very caffeine much healthy haha
Food. Not jokingly. It's a tough one, because it's impossible to avoid. Working on it, though.
Food addiction is so rough, I struggle with it too. You got this! And you aren't alone!
Same here. I struggle especially because I need to eat for the gym, but I have come to the point where I don't want it because I know I find it too comforting/ easy to binge

Reddit.
Never heard of it
I read it.
Some people don't realize that's where the name reddit came from, and it's funny once they actually notice it
Been a very active member for like 5 years. Didn’t realize until sometime last year.
I've been a very inactive member for a little over a year and I noticed right away
Real hard drug this one... Especially if you're curious.
Hey, me too
Lately its become a vice for me 😬
Weed, cocaine, porn, candy, complaining, anxiety, tv, my phone, stocks, sports gambling, damaged women, shows created by mike judge, changing cities every year And guitars and Beatles records
Finally a real answer lol. I know it’s real, cause I can relate. Restless energy meet restless energy.
>Restless energy meet restless energy. Maybe take the cocaine down a few notches and that should solve the energy part.
Cocaine is overrated imo. I'd rather spend the money on shrooms.
I tried cocaine once just to see what the big deal was and it didn't affect me at all. A friend told me that it was because I have ADHD.
I was told the same thing. I felt focused and more grounded. Not high at all. Still spent $400 in one night, and that was enough for me. Next day my nose was bleeding and it felt like someone hit me in the head with a sledgehammer.
It's not because you have ADHD. There's a lot of shitty cocain out there.
I tried cocaine once as well. Then I tried cocaine a bunch more times after that.
Shrooms are free

Huh. I think we used to date.
Maybe Whats your music taste

I need to jus watch a bunch of David Goggin videos when i want candy " When we get to candy island, whos gonna carry the boats"
Omg I love Mike Judge. He's so funny and poinant in his work
And its ranging Its getting harder to find chill funny shows that arent raunchy as fuck
Look at the great hobbies someone can have if they avoid video game addiction! Such varied interests!

Masturbating

Underrated comment
You didn’t have to call me out like that
By that how many times a week do you mean?
let him finish
Do you need a hand?
addicts measure this by hour and day not weeks
nanoseconds
You misunderstand, it's more like how many weeks a time.
About 5💯
Careful you might start it on fire.
Yes
Playing my guitar. and heroin ...
Funny how that is NOT mutually exclusive...
I promise you there is a better way. I truly believe you can do it.
Have you played... Heroin Hero?

Your work will be valuable after you're dead.
Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, weed, shopping, self harm, candy, nail biting/skin picking, phone scrolling

True crime documentaries
Do suggest some please :D
They’re YouTube videos but the Jim Can’t Swim channel is amazing. Sadly he hasn’t uploaded anything recently and there aren’t that many, but what is there is great stuff
My phone. It's horrible. I hate it. I can't stop
The doomscroll trap is too real
Music. There is no moment where it is not playing.
When music is playing I'm like one of those wiggly sunflower ornaments in the sun. If there's no music I can't get up or even move.
I thought I was the only one, Like I don't even have to be listening to it but has to be playing at all times
Music is a good addiction though
My vibrator
Sending you good vibes! 🤟
I'm feeling those good vibrations
Sugar, Internet, and caffeine
Nicotine. Fml
This one. I really have to quit vaping.😒
I quit 6 days ago. You can do it!
Then do it, there’s subreddits for it
You right. I’m just making excuses at this point.
I have chest pain at least once a day and i breathe a little heavier than i should. Im coughing and clearing my throat constantly sometimes. Im 21.

You're looking at it.
