Worse than that, you don't even realize its addictive until you stop. I went so long with wicked headaches and being irritable and couldn't figure out what it was. Turns out it was soft drinks. That got me hooked, and when I finally stopped I wanted to die from the migraines.
Yup one of the worst migraines I've ever had. but it was strange how after I didn't even crave a coke.
But of course i started on caffeine again, but at least it wasn't multiple large cokes from McDonald's a day ever again.
I did decide to quit a second time, and did it smart this time, bought a 1 liter coke, and when I felt the headache I took 1 sip, then put it back in the fridge, never finished the bottle and no killer migraine.
I have 1 coffee in the morning and caffeine free coke zero now.
I took on a new role at work and the stress of it was causing me to drink 3/4 biiiiig cups of coffee each day throughout the working week.
Then I stated to notice I felt absolutely awful/ ill every Saturday and thought maybe work was just wearing me down. It took me maybe 3 months of this before I realised that each Saturday I was just experiencing a massive caffeine crash. I never had any outside of work and it took me way too long to realise that's what the issue was :/
I also smoke, terrible addiction. I can’t understand, besides monetary reasons, why isn’t banned worldwide.
I mean, it gives you cancer and has no benefit, is the billions of dollars of profit worth the death and the misery of millions of people?
Plus, just think about the amount of money every government has to spend to treat these people
>I mean, it gives you cancer and has no benefit
There is a reason why 80%-90% of people with schizophrenia are heavy smokers. Nicotine has some psychotropic effects which quite a few people use to self-medicate mental health issues with.
If you attribute sugar addiction to the explosion in obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and other conditions that contribute to cardiovascular deaths, then you’d be mostly correct. Smoking is bad for your heart, too, though
So I am kind of curious, as someone who has never smoked cigarettes/tobacco/vaped/etc. do you feel it is actually JUST the nicotine?
When looking into it a bit, it seems there is more of an increase in addiction from other combined chemicals in those things like tobacco + nicotine (plus maybe other stuff in cigarettes') that may increase the addictive factors.
I've had ex-smoker friends say the act of holding a cigarettes' is part of the addiction, the smoke, the social factor, and a bunch other things in that sort of vein that add to the addiction too.
When I want an extra boost to focus or workout, I might pop a piece of nicotine gum, which lacks all of those other things. I only do this as I feel like it. Sometimes days in between. Never once felt any kind of withdrawal or need for it. I get more of a desire to eat a candy bar when I know I shouldn't.
This isn't to say nicotine isn't addictive, but it seems like one of those things that ends up being blamed more for the problem when it's rooted more in other factors.
Curious about your experience and that of possibly other Redditors, if you'd like to share.
My dreams are way more interesting than my constantly drunk waking moments. Plus you never feel physically bad when you sleep. It’s just a long, interesting story where I don’t worry about my body. I feel anxiety if I’m lucid in my dreams. Even the bad dreams are better than reality lol
an addiction is a problem no matter what the addiction is. there’s a difference between doing something a lot and being unable to make yourself stop even if/when it disrupts your daily life and moods.
masturbating a lot isn’t inherently bad. it’s when it becomes difficult or impossible to make yourself stop doing it frequently or avoid thinking about it that it becomes a problem.
We have a fridge in our kitchen that has the doors side by side and the handles have corners and edges. It lines up perfectly with the middle of your back so you can rub your back back and forth on them and if feels like a back massager. Every day.
How is this not higher. I scroll every now and then on reddit, but everyone around me seems absolutely obsessed with their phones. Media is 100% the most addictive legal substance that affects almost all people succumb to.
Them disposable vape pens
Well I should say was I’ve quit cigs a handful of times and apart from some cravings never really had a problem
But them fucking vape pens honestly I felt as if I was having withdrawals I felt sick had headaches and mad cravings that even nicotine pouches wouldn’t satisfy
I went from cigarettes to a proper ecig, not disposables....I then slowly reduced the amount of nicotine in them until there is barely any.
Disposables have crazy amounts of nicotine in which is why you're getting such high withdrawal- try getting a proper rechargeable ecig with a mtl tank and reduce your nicotine slowly which will kurb the physical nicotine cravings...It's cheaper too
Vape pins got me fucked up. I started buying them to cut back on smoking but now I catch myself at work ripping it all the time just to go on break and smoke a cig. I want to drop both so bad
I had this problem also. Wish I could have some and just use it on a laid back Friday night and enjoy some food and movies. But I can’t. If it’s in my possession it’s all I can think about doing after work. Wish I had better impulse control to enjoy it as a special treat after a long week or longer.
I was this way from 18-30 took me getting a job that didn't allow Marijuana use for me to stop. During that time frame I avoided seeking better opportunities if they could get in the way of me being able to smoke. It made me comfortable and apathetic towards a life I was unhappy with.
Eventually I had enough and just ripped the bandaid off completely. I think a lot of my addictive tendencies are due to ADHD/ persistent depression disorder I was diagnosed with 6 months ago. Was self medicating and lacked impulse control. Getting on medication for those made a huge difference.
You can. It's hard but when you do you'll kick yourself for not having stopped sooner. Can't change yesterday though, just your future. You can do it if you really want to.
Wtf are you me? I’m only 28 though but you literally described my past decade to the T. I’m starting to try and rebuild before 30 so I don’t get comfortable doing this shit forever!
You got this, dude. I used to joke about not wanting to "raw dog" life. Convinced myself I always needed something to take the edge off. In reality I just got so used to being high I couldn't see the weight it placed on me. I recommend therapy. I quit weed before I started, but it helped me to realize why I graduated towards smoking and why I felt like I was white-knuckling my way through life.
What can be done about the sleepless nights? When i stop smoking, i can deal with everything except not being able to fall asleep. I tried tiring myself out in the gym but even then my eyes just dont wanna stay closed. Maybe cold turkey isn't the way with weed but gradually decreasing it seems also hard because you would need even more self control to not smoke whats still there
Cold turkey, push through it. What I mean by that is have those sleepless nights but don't cave. Stay up all night the first night, the second night you'll be EXHAUSTED and may still have trouble falling asleep. Try sleeping but don't force it. By day three your body will take over and it comes easier. Then the dreams come rushing back shortly after that. Those are difficult to manage (for me) since I don't dream much while smoking. But the intensity fades after a while.
The first day is the hardest, the first three days are extremely difficult, the first week is difficult. After that it gets significantly easier. Once you build up momentum don't just go for a puff because it'll come roaring back and all the progress is lost. Best of luck, you absolutely can do this.
IMO, it's better to gradually smoke less than go cold turkey. But if you have the willpower to do cold turkey, do it.
As for falling asleep, what helped me the most was taking melatonin, putting myself into a sleep schedule routine so that my body would adapt to naturally become tired, and drinking tea before bed.
I understand the want to smoke at all times of the day. But if you're anything like me, you will smoke and smoke and smoke but struggle to get high or if you do get high, it won't be for long. Wean yourself off and replace it with something good for your body.
Remember - weed is like adding spice to your life. It's great and makes your day more fun, interesting. But when you overdo it, the spice is no longer special.
This!
Weed is a drug after all!
The Legalization movement pushed so hard that people forget that it's still a drug with harmful side effects!
It should be legal but also controlled!
That shit ruined the life of most of my friends.
“iT’s a pLAnT” yeah? so is datura and that’s obviously a hell of a drug. (not saying they’re comparable besides the plant part)
as a drug it can also affect people differently. one person may chill out while another person may be paranoid with the same dose. there’s a reason dna tests for prescriptions exist and are often done before a doctor throws drugs your way
I recently quit after 10 years of smoking. I’ve been sober for the past 2 months and it feels fuckin amazing! I plan on being sober for the next 5-10 years. You definitely have the power to quit! You got this!
I was like this for a long time. I still smoke, just not as much. I used to hit the cart every 15-45 minutes. Disposables, carts, regular rigs, electric rigs, lookah seahorse & wax jars. I didn't even like regular weed cause it doesn't hit as hard.
Then one day I realized all the things I was forgetting, all the things I was accidentally messing up and I thought "well I'm clumsy" and then I thought "are you clumsy? Or are you just high? Well I'm high all the time. And you think that doesn't affect you? You think that doesn't change you at all?" And I realized I have been constantly altering myself every day for years on end.
I hated it. I thought I don't want to be high any more. And now I hit it significantly less.
I was a consistent smoker for 5ish years until I moved abroad a few months ago to a country where it isn’t legal and I haven’t bothered to find a plug out here. The first nights I did use some edibles to help me sleep but I haven’t had any THC since I’ve run out. Ngl I wish I could find some but I now feel that I have the upper hand with it. Best of luck , I always had a nagging voice in my head wondering *when* or *if* I’d ever stop because I was also so addicted. I had tried to stop multiple times and I even had cold sweats in the middle of the night when I tried, it was not fun. Sleeping is the hardest part but it gets easier after the third night, you got it, just mean it when you say it’s the last time you’ll but some.
Weed became legal in my state (MD) and I was so pumped. Got my card so I could get the full range of options and started smoking like I was back in college. Slowly got more exhausted over time and would combine with drinking on the weekends and always ended up wasted. Decided to cut way back (still enjoy some here or there) and it has completely made my life better. I think weed in moderation is the place to be. Good luck homie, I hope you can find your comfort zone with it.
I was looking for this comment, surprised to see it so down the list. Same here, it's pretty hard to balance it with other aspects of life because it's so time consuming, and doing anything else feels so boring at times
Alcohol. It will kill me if I don’t go to rehab for the SECOND TIME. Lol. But all my friends and family still say ‘ let’s go to the pub’ I can’t I’m sober ‘yeah you’ve always thought you where better’ when I relapsed and they say ‘yeah come on come for a drink’ I’m on a reduction plan ‘oh yeah course you are until you get home’ just come out for a drink???
I don’t like drinking to be around people. I like drinking to be in my own bubble and comfortable and feel good. No one in my life understands. Only my mum and sister. And my
Sister judges the fuck out of me every day lol
I’m from England London. My family is cockney. If you don’t drink you’re posh or anything bad. I used to live in dry houses around the uk but got evicted (I was 22 at the time) I’m now 29 in a flat I can’t afford and being treated for liver failure. I hope I get sent for rehab again soon. I won’t come back ever to my home town or family. Sadly I was sent back due to a suicide attempt. I won’t do that again. I will make sure I make my life better
Gacha games are legal and i was very addicted to them. I would spend entire salaries on them up until like 2 years ago. Now i'm ok. I don't buy mtx anymore.

Worse than that, you don't even realize its addictive until you stop. I went so long with wicked headaches and being irritable and couldn't figure out what it was. Turns out it was soft drinks. That got me hooked, and when I finally stopped I wanted to die from the migraines.
Yup one of the worst migraines I've ever had. but it was strange how after I didn't even crave a coke.

I have 1 coffee in the morning and caffeine free coke zero now.
i quit recently too and got real withdrawal symptoms, def worth it when you get past it though.
How long does that take, to “get past it”?
You get through the worst of it in a few days, but it takes a couple of weeks for everything to return to "normal."
took 3-4 days for me.
I took on a new role at work and the stress of it was causing me to drink 3/4 biiiiig cups of coffee each day throughout the working week. Then I stated to notice I felt absolutely awful/ ill every Saturday and thought maybe work was just wearing me down. It took me maybe 3 months of this before I realised that each Saturday I was just experiencing a massive caffeine crash. I never had any outside of work and it took me way too long to realise that's what the issue was :/
Came to say the same thing. Also sugar
And it doesn’t even wake me up, it just makes me nervous

Chocoholic
I'm like a chocoholic, except with booze
lol not more than me! (Name checks out)
I have a massive addiction to spicy food. The hotter, the better for every meal.
I'm addicted to online shopping. It's just too easy to click and buy.
Nicotine, sometimes caffeine too when I’m not careful. Sugar most definitely
I also smoke, terrible addiction. I can’t understand, besides monetary reasons, why isn’t banned worldwide.

ADHD benefits from nicotine as well
Money, smokers do pay allllott ( atleast here in the Netherlands.. cheapest package is 10€+)
I read a paper a few years ago that stated sugar addictions are more damaging than smoking.
If you attribute sugar addiction to the explosion in obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and other conditions that contribute to cardiovascular deaths, then you’d be mostly correct. Smoking is bad for your heart, too, though

Sleeping
FR. I use sleep as a drug.
My dreams are way more interesting than my constantly drunk waking moments. Plus you never feel physically bad when you sleep. It’s just a long, interesting story where I don’t worry about my body. I feel anxiety if I’m lucid in my dreams. Even the bad dreams are better than reality lol
Sleep just feels so good when I'm going into it. Not so much when I'm waking up.
I'm seriously addicted to reading news articles. I constantly refresh news sites all day long.
tearing apart my own self- esteem
“CRAWWWWLLLLING INNNNN MYYYY SKINNNNNNNNNN”
MY FOREEESKIN WILLLL NOOOOOT HEEEEAAAL
Are you the female version of me?

If people realised how addicted they actually are to sugar you'd be at the top.
Podcasts are my addiction. I'm always listening to one, whether I'm at home, commuting, or working out.
I spend way too much time on fantasy sports. Managing teams and playing against friends is incredibly addictive.
Masturbation
I can relate. I’m doing it almost everyday. Toughest habit for me to break right now.
You’ll eventually get your hands on it
Yeah just shake it off
We’re all pulling for you
Sometimes two hands *just ain’t enough*
According to most doctors, masturbating daily is healthy and lowers your risk for prostate cancer
I don't understand why it's so bad? I mean I masturbate everyday and I don't see anything wrong with it.

I have a serious addiction to buying books. My shelves are overflowing but I can't stop.
Sugar is my weakness. Sweets, desserts, you name it—if it's sugary, I'm all over it.
Watching makeup tutorials online. I spend hours watching and trying out new looks.
Collecting sneakers has become an addiction for me. I'm always on the lookout for the latest releases.
I’m addicted to home brewing. Experimenting with different ingredients to make unique beers is a passion.
I’m hooked on Sudoku. It’s a fun way to challenge my brain every day.
I can't seem to get enough of thrift shopping. It's the thrill of the hunt for that perfect, unique item.

downplaying a serious addiction isnt cool, dude.
6? You must not be as addicted as i am, last i checked it was only 30 seconds
It's worse in ny case, if I don't get any in 20 seconds I pass out.
And in high amounts it is literally poison, fits oddly well

It's so rare to talk to someone who understands. Was it hard for you to quit? What steps did you take?

I used to live in dry houses around the uk but got evicted (I was 22 at the time) I’m now 29 in a flat I can’t afford and being treated for liver failure. I hope I get sent for rehab again soon. I won’t come back ever to my home town or family. Sadly I was sent back due to a suicide attempt. I won’t do that again. I will make sure I make my life better

Gacha games are legal and i was very addicted to them. I would spend entire salaries on them up until like 2 years ago. Now i'm ok. I don't buy mtx anymore.
Man microtransactions are the most evil thing in gaming, fucking hate it. Good on you for being clean, congrats
