Thanks plebbro. I insist. If you want to know wtf is mate and how to prepare it, I can record a video for you and tell you how to buy some in your area. No need for sats, just pure love. I have done before and helped some friends and netizen-Bros quit smoking & vaping.
Facts really appreciate the advice & help bro π« I have a place nearby that sells Yerba mate teas and the cup! Gonna go see them tomorrow and let you know what I find π«‘
Can I suggest how I gave up nicotine?
I was so addicted that even the thought of giving up made me want to have more. It was completely impossible for me to give up or even imagine it
So I decided to not give up
I chose instead to make a deal with myself. Every time I chose to vape I set a clock and delayed by 1 minute. This removed the stress of giving up but created a moment of relaxing self observation. When I felt comfortable with the 1 minute delay I kept adding more time. 5 mins, then 6 then 10 then half an hour. Whatever ever felt comfortable.
THEN, what I noticed in those few minutes, I started becoming more aware. Addiction is automated choice making. By creating time (and being relaxed because I wasn't giving up - just delaying), I became more conscious and the auto choice was becoming more like me choosing.
I kept this going for days, week, months. Adding a few more minutes here and there, staying relaxed and observing myself. Growing awareness of myself in a very natural way.
It is now 4 1/2 years since I smoked or vaped. I still haven't given up because if the urge ever hits me I can still have a vape like in 6 weeks (if I really wanted it) but I keep forgetting and it's no big deal anymore.
Jean-Paul's idea is the same because he uses space to create the distance between choice and execution. The principle is the same
Don't give up
Stay relaxed
Create a little gap in time (or space)
Eventually the auto choice becomes conscious choice
And enjoy yourself
This is so incredible, hearing from others that quit vaping. It seems like such and impossible habit to give up. Like I said when I smoked l, never in the house. So cold weather i was like this is miserable anyways. Smoking on the beach? No way you get by with it. Vaping however can be so discreet and βcleanβ .. this is a very interesting note, i appreciate the comment. So many tips from people that actually gave it up makes it seem more possible when others just say why not just quit. Itβs a crazy addictive habit. Very happy to see these comments. Followed you and thank you β‘οΈ
Happy to help.
I wish I figured out my technique years before. Instead of giving up and dreading to process, after a while it became an adventure and a enjoyable thing to do. Especially when you become more aware of the triggers that create the desire for nicotine.
(Someone just sent me 100 sats! TY. They just bought my grandchildren a house in 2050 π )
Sent for the note β‘οΈπ just appreciate anyone that take time to write a note about their own experience. Itβs definitely a very addictive thing.m and something i plant to kick π¦΅
Great post. Thank you
