Someone here

The quality of the forums is going downhill. Maybe I will stick to my journal and Leo’s blog.

Thank you for your advice man . I appreciate it .

Preach .

I’m already trying to lower the dose by buying cheaper brands that have a lower nicotine concentration. I’ve been making an effort to reduce how much nicotine I’m consuming, but I still find it really difficult to quit completely for a decent amount of time. I can stop for a week but eventually I always end up going back to smoking. It feels like I can manage without it temporarily, but maintaining that for a longer period is much harder. When it comes to the rituals and situations that make me want to smoke, I’ve noticed that I mostly turn to smoking when I’m stressed or experiencing negative emotions. It has become something I automatically rely on when I’m feeling overwhelmed or anxious. smoking feels like a way to calm myself down or take a break from whatever I’m dealing with. Do you suggest avoiding stress ?

Hi there . Thank you . well it’s really becoming a physiological problem. The nicotine is in my blood . I’ve been smoking for 6 years now almost everyday. before smoking , I feel like I want to bang my head to the wall if I don’t smoke. during smoking I feel like I’m getting high . As If I’m sniffing cocaine from a prostitute’s tits lol . after smoking I usually feel better and calm . But now that I’m experiencing health issues I feel depressed after smoking.

Relapse . Smoked a cigarette. Fuck .

you have to do it by yourself.

Ramana’s teaching is that you should NOT answer the question “who am I ?” Verbally or conceptually .Just ask it and look within your own being and find the source of the “I” .

What art do you create ? You can get paid for it if you’re talented as well .

Only when I tried to quit did I realize how completely addicted I’ve become. Not just to one thing, but to almost everything that gives me a quick hit of comfort or pleasure. I’m addicted to caffeine. To cigarettes. To sugar. To checking social media for attractive girls, even when I know I’m wasting my time. To watching porn. To video games. To music constantly playing in the background so I don’t have to sit alone with my thoughts. I’m addicted to staying in my comfort zone, avoiding discomfort, and choosing what feels easy over what I know is good for me. I’m addicted to distraction. To instant gratification. To reaching for my phone whenever there’s even a second of boredom Maybe addiction isn’t always about one destructive thing. Sometimes it’s simply becoming dependent on anything that helps you avoid being uncomfortable with yourself.

Sometimes I think she is an angel , not just another pretty girl .

Well, you said the main reason you can’t find a girl is they think of you as having no goals in life .

Do you have a job ? How do you pay your bills? Why don’t you have ambitions in life ? What kind of girls are you interested in ?

I want to take a long break from the internet. This constant attachment to my phone and the digital world is really starting to drain me and zap my soul. I feel like I need to step away from all the noise, distractions, and endless scrolling for a few weeks and simply learn to live more naturally again. Last time I did a dopamine detox I felt high just by watching a sunrise or a sunset lol. I want to wake up early, go to bed early, spend more time outdoors, eat simple and healthy food, meditate, read, reflect, and enjoy the quiet moments without constantly reaching for a screen. No unnecessary electronics, no social media, no endless notifications etc I see it as a kind of detox, not just for my body but for my mind and soul as well. I want to disconnect from the digital world for a while so I can reconnect with myself, find some peace, clear my head, and appreciate the simple things in life again.

Do you have any unhealthy habits? How is your diet? thanks .

5 days without smoking . Definitely going through tough withdrawals now. I’m pissed off . My body asks for the nicotine.

Watching porn originally starts as sexual lust but once you become addicted, it stops being about libido and starts to be more about the brain craving the dopamine which is released,without being really interested in sex physically.

The main thing I’m going to focus on right now is quitting smoking and sleeping well . I will keep a daily record here . 4 days without smoking .

I’m taking a break from spirituality for a few months and choosing to focus more on my personal development during this period. I feel like I want to temporarily shift my attention toward myself, my habits, my lifestyle, and the way I’m living my everyday life. One of my main focuses during this time is overcoming certain bad habits that I’ve developed. I want to use these few months to make real progress in this area and become more disciplined and in control of my actions. Another thing I want to work on is getting into a smooth flow state in my daily life. I want to feel more naturally focused, comfortable, and consistent in what I’m doing instead of constantly feeling stuck or out of rhythm. I want to find a better flow within my day-to-day life and become more comfortable with maintaining that state. I also want to improve my physical appearance. I want to put more attention into how I look physically and work toward feeling better about my appearance. This is another area where I want to see noticeable personal improvement over the next few months. I want to become more social. I want to start talking to girls more and become more comfortable approaching and interacting with them. I want to put myself in situations where I can actually talk, connect, and socialize. I also want to go out more often and socialize more frequently in general. I want to become more active socially and spend more time interacting with people. I’ve been isolating myself for over two years now .I want to get myself into a smoother rhythm of going out, talking to people, meeting girls, and simply being more socially involved. Overall, for these next few months, I want my focus to be on personal development. I want to work on overcoming my bad habits, getting into a smooth flow state, improving my physical appearance, talking to girls more, going out more often, and socializing more. This is the period where I want to put my attention on myself and make progress in these areas.

Dawn is the best time for spiritual practices .

@PeaceOut96 you refuse to explain with more details . So I can’t continue with you. Peace out ✌️

You can’t explain it further than these three words ?

In what sense exactly?

If there is only you , how does it make sense to thank Leo ?

I see no value greater than self-love. I am the most valuable thing in my world …right here, right now, exactly as I am. I don’t need to become more, prove more, or earn my worth. My value is inherent. It has always been here.And this is the absolute truth.I am sacred.I am whole.I am already Enough right here, right now, exactly as I am. I do not need to seek outside myself for my worth . I consider doing that a form of stupidity and insanity .I am a divine expression of life itself, worthy simply because I exist.My presence is precious. My soul is priceless. My existence is a gift. i am the most valuable thing I will ever possess because I am the only and one sacred soul I will experience this life through.
