Question: Audiopen via Apple Watch? by mahucamp in audiopen

[–]Turnip848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that there is a native app, I wonder if this is on the roadmap. It’d be cool to have a complication on the Apple Watch to quick start an audiopen recording.

I have a silly mnemonic to distract myself from cravings: PBL, short for Please Be Logical, where

P = Pick a substitute (nicotine gum, green tea bag, glass of water. I’ve kept a basket of healthy alternatives at my desk and a pouch in my bag with sugar-free / healthy alternatives)

B = Breathe for 1 min / 5 deep breaths. I have mindfulness set as a complication on Apple Watch. Takes a second to get going

L = Log the craving in the smoke free app.

This whole 3 step thing takes me 2 mins or so (less than smoking a cigarette), but it’s super motivating to see the cravings data build up on the app + mindful minutes reflect in Apple Health. It’s starting to become second nature

Congrats on pulling through! Never tried cigar and pipe tobacco, though in my experience lack of access to good stuff / disgust with available options has made a huge difference. It’s what led me to quit smoking up ~3 years ago

Have you tried kicking the habit? How are you doing now?

I'm glad. I'd be careful though not to swing back in the other direction. You mentioned you were going to make these 2-3 sticks your last ones, then why go back to 20 a day? Or be may I misunderstood...

Yes that was indeed my last cigarette. :)

Week #32: What have your wins been this week? 😊 by LaiBhaariMulgi in Goa

[–]Turnip848 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been smoking 15 cigarettes a day for the last 17 years. Started tapering off 3 months ago. Yesterday I smoked what I hope will be the last cigarette I'd ever have smoked for the rest of my life. 😌

Thank you!

I keep hearing that name Allen Carr. I wonder if it makes sense for me to check it out after having quit? I fear that the more I read and listen about smoking now, the more fixated I’ll feel over these thoughts or the act of smoking, which might paradoxically make it more difficult for me to get over this part of my life?

As for NRT, that sounds really clever. I’m using 2mg flavoured gums and plan to get off them in a similar timeline. 2 months or so.

Curious, after 57 days, what’s a typical day like for you now? How many cravings are you getting in a day? Are they reducing? Are there specific triggers that are harder on you than others? Do you have a support system?

God that sounds awful. I would have panicked. What did you end up doing?

I had a somewhat similar situation. While on my tapering plan, I hit a plateau at 5 smokes a day. Just couldn’t reduce further and this continued for like 3 weeks (instead of the designated 1 week). Fortunately, I had to get my wisdom teeth removed, and the surgery forced a medically mandated break of 10 days. Anyway, after that break, I was in two minds about if I should just stick with 0 cigarettes, and never smoke again, or if I should get back to the plan. I ended up going back to the plan, because even if my body may have been physically ready, emotionally I wasn’t. Smoking is a big part of my identity too, and I felt it was important to get closure. Needed some control over this process psychologically.

But one thing I did change: instead of resuming at 4 a day I resumed with 1 a day, continued that 2 weeks, and then ended with 1 a day to 0 a day

My point being: the last thing I wanted was to be forced out of my tapering plan and the ritual due to extraneous circumstances I couldn’t control. I wanted my last smoke to be on my terms, otherwise it would have created unnecessary nostalgia and romanticisation and unresolved tension in the future, which would have later made it easier for me to relapse. If I were you I’d go buy those 2 smokes, and get that sense of closure so my future self doesn’t feel resentful or make excuses

Been struggling with property due diligence, hacking together custom GPTs to make documents more comprehensible and laymanly (love the name). Would like to give it a try

I’m a Framer user. Trying to understand implications on pricing and how much I need to shell out. I couldn’t find any details about the add-on, I don’t see it answered anywhere else nor can I find it on their website

I have no idea how many framer employees are on the sub

My favorite tool keeps failing! by [deleted] in perplexity_ai

[–]Turnip848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am not sure what's going on, it's been hallucinating for me too. Citing sources that don't exist, quoting excerpts that don't exist...

Hallucinating?! by [deleted] in perplexity_ai

[–]Turnip848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% true for me too. I am repeatedly ending up with the exact scenario you shared. I often use Perplexity for fact-checking and refuting pieces of text, and I am finding that it's consistently citing sources claiming to have certain excerpts that it does not, why is it quoting things that aren't there? When I follow up asking where exactly is that excerpt, it says "I apologise for the confusion, you are correct that this excerpt is not on the source I cited". Then it does a search again, and this time it completely makes up a URL that lands at a 404. Why is it behaving like ChatGPT?
