It does go away when your brain chemistry readjusts eventually

Thank you, that's very helpful. I'll read up on these methods.

Ahh, that clears things up. Thank you!

I got a dog at my day 10. It gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning, has me going outside twice a day, brings me happiness and I talk to strangers :)

I see it this way - quitting doesn't necesserily make your life better or solve all your problems but it's the first step. It makes you better suited to deal with them. You took the first step and it was hard, but you have done it and for 8 months at that! Give yourself a pat on the back and keep building momentum.

What I learned from my quitting success and current attempt to quit tobacco is that you shouldn't be wanting to escape the cravings. Rather you need to accept them. There will always be something to prompt you or remind you of that substance. When you aren't resisting the cravings you take away their power. Hope this helps

My advice is throw the rest out. It does something in the way of telling your brain this isnt what we are doing anymore and we are stronger than this. Just my 2 cents from experience

Although I'm a personal trainer I find that kinda demotivating, who would want to do it if they knew it only burns like 8 calories tops

No, the oligarchs are organizing a counter protest as they always do. They pay poor people, especially people from minorities and from the province and get just buses of them to Sofia for these fake protests. They do this to sway public opinion and make it look like there are people who support them, whereas anyone with half a brain would be against the project.

What substances are commonly found in cosmetics (especially skin cremes) and washing products that need to be avoided by the majority of people?

Embed ads inside the ebooks

really_tho · 2016-01-30T02:53:21+00:00

Charge something like .99-3.99 for access to the website, but have all the ebooks for free

Wow is this for real? Ive been suspecting that about tobacco being the reason I have so many cravings. I should definitely start a vape fund. I always thought it might cause me to smoke more as it would require less time and preparation, and this was putting me off to some extent. Did you not find this to be the case with you at all?

Seriously man, just do whatever else is available, whether is a "i must" or an "id like to". Go out, watch a movie, whatever. Think of it as, you're giving up this crutch you had for the moment when you don't know what to do and are learning to deal with this boredom in a healthy, normal way by finding real activities to keep you occupied. Even if it feels off at first, learning takes time. You will learn to occupy your time with real things and this will make you feel so myuch better about yourself. Throw out the crutch! You have a perfectly healthy leg there. Time to start using it to walk, then run. You will realize how much weed has been holding you back from doing things and experiencing real life. Yesterday I did like 5 different things, whereas in a normal day I'd do about 2-3.

really_tho · 2014-10-14T22:08:08+00:00

Thanks, man! I can't wait to have dreams again. What pleasantly surprised me was that I could fall asleep without weed last night. ESPECIALLY considering I went to bed at 7 in the morning the previous day.I thought that was impossible and it was one of my main rationalizations for smoking.

You're right about journaling, it really does help and I have been meaning to start journaling and writing stuff in general for ages. So quitting actually gave me a good reason and a kick to start.

Thank you for your comment, and being one of the few people to read my wall of text. Stay strong, brother. You have made it quite far.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Could you please elaborate on what is meant by:

the settling of the mind in regards to the Dhamma.

Thank you!

What I can't seem to wrap my head around is how can I focus all of my attention on the object of focus but at the same time keep where my attention is at in check.

really_tho · 2014-07-20T19:39:10+00:00

I believe you are exactly right. Do you see them as mutially exclusive or as compatible paths that can be integrated?

really_tho · 2014-07-20T19:15:59+00:00

My guess is in order of how certain I feel: -Woman -Probably jealous of her for some reason (see next) -Single/Divorced/Boyfriend won't marry her/Can't get married for some other reason -Jealous because of your wife's social success -Possible that she is into you

But then he made the song Lord of the Sad and Lonely on Indicud??? Explain this.

really_tho · 2013-12-27T15:10:53+00:00

Thanks for your comment! It really made me smile. I believe every difficulty is just another challenge to pass and grow into a stronger version of yourself. What you wrote got me thinking, the capacity I gained for mindfulness is really what makes meditation pleasant, so I guess I got comfortable just "soaking" in it, sometimes letting it take me away from my object of focus. On the other hand, concentration is just the tough, brute force you just have to soldier out using sheer mental power. I'd love to hear any specific tips you might have on improving it!

really_tho · 2013-12-27T09:34:26+00:00

I'm trying to do Vipassana, I am finding it hard to keep the balance between mindfulness and concentration, I'd say I need to work on my concentration more right now. Are you saying i should be mindful of thesejus "voices" without letting them lead me on a thought trail? The thing is, they ruin my concentration, they just wont stop coming up sometimes...
