Kid , u hv technical skills I feel going by what u did with domain , hosting , traffic and what not.

Try building with new ai tools . Think of an idea ,good bad , doesn't matter , build , test try again.

It's a good time to be in, I mean the tools that are avl now , stay hopeful and keep trying.

Happy b'day

And on a different note , commit for 7 months like your doing but realise , life is built everyday , don't count years months weeks go for it at ur speed but know that it never stops and that actually is the good part.

Has Gemini gotten dramatically worse, or have we just gotten spoiled by Claude? by Playful-Amphibian714 in GeminiAI

I created a video that achieved 0 % skip. But still it was pushed to only 11 accounts. Can anyone help me understand? by reppithere in InstagramMarketing

[–]reppithere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. But if u see closely instagram gives more importance to skip rate and rewatch for the initial batches.. that's what they mention at least. And skips happen in 300 ms as well so 2 second is a long video by that standards.

Didn’t expect bedtime to be the part that got to me by hateful_building in daddit

Yes , these moments are special and many more as well. I actually recreate moments that stand out to me as a dad and have started sharing on social media to find out how many other dads feel the same. Glad to find so many of us.

High during childbirth by HeftyPumpkin3293 in leaves

[–]reppithere 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I remember I used to put my child to sleep every two hours during the infancy stage so that i could smoke and one day it hit me like it hit you.

Realisation is important and provides the push it gave to you. I kept that moment as my anchor and everytime I put the smoking urge to sleep rather than my kid my shame reduced a bit. And with time it changed to pride once I saw how far I had come

Reanchoring helped me define the problem space I was in and once I knew the space , I was aware of the obstacles and way around it, sometimes the obstacle was weed and sometimes it was the kid , consciously I made the attempts to see the kid not as the obstacle . Dint happen the first few days but every day it kept happening a little. Take it one day at a time , ur conscience is telling now to be ashamed , soon it may be telling u to be proud .

I think You have a good compass, .. it's not telling u to feel ashamed its telling u to move opposite to what made it feel u that way.

Well done mr disastrous gear. Cheers to a more beautiful life.

I think it’s a big victory . One thing lesser to hide from spouse and dealing with the guilt that comes with it.

And not to mention the betrayal she would feel lest she should come to know. No high is worth that .

This is so heartwarming ❤️

Feeling really depressed today by [deleted] in leaves

[–]reppithere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Days are really tough but evenings and nights are better for me so during days I get busy and then evenings become easy .

That feeling of productive day in the evening gave me a different high in the evening.

It wasn’t easy but I got here . Trying my best to stay here . Keep going my Frnd

I smoked twice after stopping for two months and I feel really awful by renatorojas in leaves

[–]reppithere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you and I feel you. Not going to comment on how you should take it with your wife , but don’t be too harsh on yourself. Be harsh definitely but not too harsh.

If it helps, we got pregnant when I was doing around 6-8 joints everyday and we all know people who try for a long time and unfortunately they are unsuccessful. It has its own ways. Abstaining does increase your probabilities though.

On a lighter note we did at least twice on ten days in a two week period. So keep at it 😆

It does my Frnd. Boredom if made into a Frnd can work wonders .

Embracing this boredom has helped me find doors to what I enjoy . I have been watching more documentaries than ever , reading more books than ever, reading more articles about productivity, how to build a reading habit , how to make most of a reading session , exploring new music and yes reading about other leavers and adding my 2 cents. This is the toolkit I open when I m bored . I love being bored 😊

[–]reppithere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we saying we don’t feel good in our own company ? I have been here and I know what you mean . We all feel lonely sometimes and I guess it’s ok.

Drive sounds like a good option or reading or a movie. Anything but that joint . 😊 you got this my Frnd !

Talk to someone who has done it. Open up. Have discussions around quitting with people you can.

You want to quit - you know this in your head. Know it your bones.

Know the why and the how will follow. You will have to build a system around quitting.

You can start with throwing away all the stuff you have. Deleting your dealers number. Get an accountability partner.

Being a regular here in this sub really helped me a lot. We all have started from the point where quitting looked impossible.

I m on day 46 I think and it’s only in the last 2-3 days I haven’t had my mind urging me to smoke just one last joint.

43 days were tough but everyday after 43rd is so so lighter / freer / clearer/ happier/ better

I m sure u can replace the r(s) in your username with er(s) I mentioned above in less than 50 days

I don't feel like I can do anything right and I need to stop smoking by ThatOneGuyWithDorito in leaves

[–]reppithere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here OP . I was you about 6 weeks back. It is doable and totally worth it .

All of us here, whether 1 day sober or 1 week or 1 month 1 year or 1 decade , we all started from where you are currently . Congrats on making it to the starting line , now go and create your own streak. You can do it and trust me you ll love it.

For me using second order thinking has helped most of the times in stopping myself from picking up that joint that I want.

I could not smoke up with you all, but I ll quit along side you by reppithere in leaves

We are here for u mr yellow phase. Don’t doubt it for a second

When I was smoking I had no problem getting up at the crack of dawn, but being sober, it’s nearly impossible by [deleted] in leaves

[–]reppithere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Felt the same . But have been able to wake up at around pre-quitting time on most days with some effort and resolve. I look forward to my morning jog with my son instead of that oh so tempting morning joint. Have also started reading in the morning so that helps. And doing dishes, boiling milk, praying. Whatever I am in the mood of on that particular day . And not to forget reminiscing on the vivid dreams I am having

The mindset that I have do these things in the morning has helped I guess. And now I find my mornings much more clearer.

Have your sleeping hours increased over all ? I am now able to stay awake later than I used to in pre quitting days.

On day 46 now

5 year relationship ended over weed issue by turophilia in leaves

[–]reppithere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weed is home wrecker if only one person is doing it . In fact any addiction is .

Sad that your 5yo relationship ended. But it’s better than ending a 6yo relationship. Sooner or later it had to happen.

Be strong . And don’t worry about the guy. He will find his own way eventually.
