    And me, switching from stinky cigarettes to candy flavored vape. I thought a month or two max. It’s been three. Time to fix that. Look out world (fr). Maybe since it’s warmer, my bike is fixed and I’ve almost gotten the interior of my home back in order, it won’t be so difficult when I replace those nicotine hits with dopamine hits? 😬 🙏🏽

      I quit smoking by switching to candy flavored vape. Then I quit vaping and it was easier than quitting smoking.

        Yep. This week will be particularly busy/trying, and I expect my current vape to run out Tuesday. Please send good vibes, that I don’t give in to temptations, bite off anyone’s head, or grind my teeth to dust. Tyia.

      I replaced my caffeine habit with a water drinking habit. You truly do swap one addiction for another one, and it’s really bonkers how I legit get the exact same withdrawal symptoms if I haven’t drank water as I would if I didn’t get my coffee

        Maybe Freud’s oral fixation theory isn’t so insane, after all. I posit lunder/over emotional nourishment is as credible as a cause as under/overfeeding.

        I know, just musing.
