 WHY IS IT SO HARD TO NOT POISON MYSELF

LIKE WHAT IS THIS, WHY DO I WANT TO DESTROY MY BODY, I GET NOTHING OUT OF IT 
 Idk I tried like 10 times and failed 
 not addicted then 
 Really? So I’m good to just keep smoking nicotine and weed forever ? 

Nice. 
 as yer architect; in as much as the balance between lungs and psychological balance is mediated... i know it has making habit "one could make responsible habit"  
 It stops when you stop. 
 I say this from a person who also had vices to quit.

It stops when you stop and every time you give up you have to start over. Don’t start over twice homie. 
 I ask myself this question a lot. Good luck, man. 
 Astrology bro it’s not ur fault 
 go to a limpia with a shamn if so 
 we're always poisoning us!!
the battle upfront is at "the choices" of poison 
 DAMN WELL YOU CAN CHOSE!

 It's called an addiction, bud

It becomes a way of life 
 It's just gonna suck for a while and then you'll be fine.

Be more stubborn than your urges 👊 
 Ive found quitting anything is much easier with a change of environment for a week or two. Go away - leave the habit at home - co me back - profit 🫂 
 You are so kicking this habit. 
 STRANGE ENERGIES FROM SPACE.  
 LOUD WORDS YEAHHH 
 Dopamine pathways are a bitch 
 👆

Seriously.  I did a "dopamine detox", where I just unplugged from social media, watching BTC price, news, and just coded on a project for a few weeks.

Maintaining focus that first was was hard af. But it got better over time. 

 I'm more balanced these days, but the crazy part?

When I went back to peek at X, it was just....I don't know....too much.  Too much in your face.  

It felt "loud".

Something I would have never realized had I not taken a long break. 
 I had a similar experience a few months ago. Those channels opened up again and it was overwhelming, I felt my head tingling from it. Detoxing is definitely worth it, especially to cut through brain fog 
 Cave man brain. Keep fighting the good fight! 
 It serves two purposes: it helps you temporarily cope with the harshness of reality, which can be addictive, and it guides you toward the "afterlife," allowing you to be free from the pain of living. 
 It makes you wonder what's been mixed with the tobacco. It's the only mass-produced consumable in the US that is not required to list ingredients.

Keep punching back, and it will get weaker and weaker*.


(It get's a power-up after 30 days when it's down to a wimper; don't let that catch you off guard) 
 Have you tried lifting heavy things? 
 not consistently, only when YouTube starts recommending fitness stuff to me basically, I suck  
 Just do starting strength, granmas can do it. 
 Hope you're staying strong. It gets easier 
 Because the addiction is stronger than you. 
 Checkout the carnivore diet. You're carb addicted and everything else follows. 
 try
field horsetail - equisetum arvense
(a plant)

It has nicotine and helps you dose it down

and I bet it already grows near you, because mother nature wants to help you
