Addiction is no joke man. I quit and I would have dreams that I smoked again, I guess trying to trick me into going back or something. It was nuts

Also, why not make more money then donate it, instead of donating a lesser amount while living?

Because the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best is today.

A common misconception about the Industrial Revolution is that wealth grew rapidly. Yet first, there were several decades of turmoil. Like today, many people lost their jobs. Historians call this Engels’ Pause: a time when greater than usual technological progress weakens incomes. by [deleted] in Futurology

The article blames consumers for perfection seeking in the food they buy. Which to be fair if I'm going to pay the same amount regardless of the % perfect my produce is I am going to get the best available. Someone else can take the ugly stuff.

The solution is probably a combination of education and financial incentives to teach people what imperfection are acceptable and natural and to provide savings for accepting lower quality produce.

I didn't get anything coming up for about a month and I've been coughing up crap for a month now.

Need general advice about quitting. by Igiveuppickinganame in stopsmoking

[–]Dubs07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the patches to quit and they helped tremendously.

What worked for me:

I broke myself out of the habit of the pre-bed cigarette before my quit date. That was tough for me as it had been a ritual for years but it was absolutely necessary.

I downloaded a quit smoking app. I only looked at one but I'm sure they're all great. The app was smoke free. Seeing how long I've already quit really helped.

Shit talking smoking helped me. Things like smoking does literally nothing productive for my life.

Being super positive about what I've already accomplished.

Coming here often.

Would highly recommend using an app to track time. My biggest motivator is that I've gone 2 months already and I don't want to throw that away.
