What I’ve often found is that even seemingly harmless addictive behaviours leave lasting impressions on my personality. My two addictions I’m trying to quit are porn and nicotine gums.

Porn was just taking up too much of my time and energy. Especially since I was working from home. I’d be in meetings with my camera and mic off browsing some weird nsfw on reddit. Stopped cold turkey and it feels amazing tbh

Nicotine gums stay on for now. This is one addiction which has actually provided me an unintended benefit. My jawline improved drastically over a year! But I hope one day I can be comfortable sitting with myself idle not wanting to compulsively do anything!

Oh I forgot!

It depends on the addiction but for me it's improving everything else. Bad mental health makes it very hard to deal with addiction. Here's a couple of things to try:

• Proper sleep. Don't sacrifice sleep unless it's really important (e.g. feeding baby).
• Exercise
• Eat more healthy. (If not sure where to start then stop eating sugar, limit flour, alcohol and processed food).
• Socialise at least the minimum you need. (Your milage and methods may vary).

It my experience the above plus a reason to quit does the trick. Weekly yoga classes, regular 8h sleep and not buying sweets is the easiest way to meet the criteria I know about.

I did an ayahuasca ceremony and asked for guidance on how to quit smoking and never start again.
