Taking care of your health is cool and good. Stop smoking and you'll own the libs, and they must be owned. You must the one who owns them.
Congrats man. I'm coming up on 2 years nicotine free in August. It's hard, but it is possible and it does get easier
Congrats on your sobriety
Thank you!
hell yes, i'm rooting for you
Death to America
Good on you! It's not easy, but the first step is the hardest!
Yeah, I've done almost a month before and the first week or two are the hardest with cravings.
You can do it, comrade!
you can do it!
o7 a difficult journey but well worth the benefits.
Fidgety stuff for your hands to do, mints or small sweets to help w the hand to mouth fixation. One day at a time one hour at a time one minute at a time.
Quitting was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself, and it’s the same for you.
hell yeah, wishing you all the best comrade
Good luck! If you need some quitting-smoking comedy to tide you over, the first chapter of Italo Svevo's Zeno's Conscience is a classic memoir of the narrator's many last cigarettes.

Self Improvement
220 readers
31 users here now
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
