Someone here

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.
