I’m sitting here with just over 5 days sober. I can’t sleep because of insomnia. This really hit me where it needed to. This is the longest I’ve been sober in over ten years. Here’s to day 6 tomorrow.

Hope this helps, I used to hear and eventually it sunk it; “One day at a time” from peers I got sober around. You got this 👍

[@Nick-fs8vg]

The not sleeping thing corrects fairly quickly , and it's one of the worst parts. So just lock that door and throw the key away. The worst part is when you start to feel good again and wonder why you quit in the first place. Then you fall back into it and realize it ,and have to start over. That's where I am at right now

Six needs: - comfort/certainty - variety - significance (i.e. sense of purpose) - connection & love - personal growth - contribute beyond ourselves Importance of replacing bad habit with a healthier one Stages before people transform their bad habits: - satiation (repetition makes something not as satisfying) - dissatisfaction (previous bad habit doesn't even feel good anymore) - threshold (you're convinced it will continue not feeling good from now on) - insight (the "truth", you realize you can make some lasting change) - stepping through "the opening" (others can push you through, but you choosing to enter it yourself gives a better chance of long-lasting change)

[@MidnightPolaris800]

This

[@TroskotSkot]

As a guy who stopped smoking 3,5 years ago, the hardest and worst thing about stopping is the realization that cigarettes crawled themselves into so many nooks and crannies of your life. With coffee, after a meal, with a friend, smoking break, with a beer, when drinking, when sad, when angry, when happy etc. You just realize how much of your life is dictated by a tobacco stick. Not to mention the money you always find for cigarettes, but always don't have for healthy options in your life. You have to distance yourself from the habit for an amount of time to realize just how much damage it does to you, because when you're in that "toxic relationship" with it, you can't comprehend it and that "illusion that you have it under control" is preventing you to accept that you have a problem and stop. Great guest, Theo.

[@dreamwhite2886]

Much like alcohol

[@lolokaymeg]

I came to this realization with 🍃 lately, that it's always around. I've smoked every day since I started years ago, and found myself wondering why I felt the need to zone out so often. I always said I never wanted to be on medication because I didn't want to alter my mood yet I've been doing so every day. I stopped drinking and going to events that pressure me to do so but tobacco and 🍃 have been something I have yet to kick

[@TroskotSkot]

@@lolokaymeg as with any habit, it's a matter of willingness to stop and embrace all the hardships of life without numbing the pain. I completely understand why someone would want to just relax and forget about all the problems, I still do it with alcohol, however I really believe that true profound happiness can be achieved only with a sober mind. Good luck to you and everyone struggling

[@logomoko78]

I will never understand how can someone develop such a disgusting habit such as smoking. To me it's inconceivable that someone would voluntarily smoke. You could pay me a thousand dollars to smoke a single time and I'd gladly refuse it.

[@TroskotSkot]

@@logomoko78 a lot of it has to do with education, social status and where you live. As much as I agree with your statement now, a lot of people smoke for different reasons. It isn't black and white, in my country, smoking is still acceptable in a lot of situations and a lot of people still smoke. It is a disgusting habit indeed.

Man Tony hit me hard here. I'm trying to get myself clean from a six year relationship with a woman who had a narcissistic personality disorder... I didn't realise at the time how she'd got me addicted to her, or rather I'd allowed myself to become addicted to her and neglected almost everything else in my life to get my fix from her. I'll get through it, I'm learning to replace it with healthy things... but after six months of hindsight and working hard to keep her away from me, I can see I shouldn't be angry at her and the way she handled things (which was hysterical to say the least). She's mentally ill and has a much bigger challenge ahead than I do. I just hope she gets better some day, but I'm done with being responsible for that. Figuring that out helped A LOT and reminds me that even if we were bad for each other, there was love there.

[@ibrokemycomputer]

I was in a similar sounding relationship for 8 years. It get easier after a while, but with such a huge portion of your life spent with that one person they will always kinda "be there" and subconsciously impact decisions. I hope you're dating again and putting yourself out there! I made the mistake of shutting down, and its been really hard taking those risks again.

I reach for something that hadn't been there for 7 years! I didn't feel like I wanted one but the fact that my body responded by reaching for a smoke. Crazy right?!

I had cigarette rituals. First thing a.m. with coffee. After meals for sure. and before brushing my teeth. After awhile. I stopped the morning coffee routine and had coffee and a good breakfast knowing that my body was going to crave something, I started eating better to avoid weight gain. It worked. Good habits are introduced not shoved into your life for longer stability. I'm pretty sure I just became more active and I didn't want to smell like a cigarette either. It all became part of the new normal. It was so worth allowing for the slow release. It gave me an appreciation for the undoing of a habit. It did require desire and discipline. @@Unidentifying

I had reached that point at multiple times during the relationship and could never go through with ending it. Finally i had a moment of lucidity and realized i was miserable and had been. i saw it for what it was. Not what it had been in the past or what it could be again. I jumped. Ended it right then. There was no hate in my heart. I loved the person and still do a month later. I didnt blame them or have any hate in my heart for my ex. We both contributed, we were both imperfect, and we both made our fair share of mistakes. It wasnt easy and right after i questioned myself about whether i made the right decision.

I was always told by everyone as a kid that I was really smart and easily gonna get a high paying job - anything I wanted!. Just endless praise. In college i realized I was lied to. School until that point was just easy and I was bored and didn't have to try. I had never failed at anything. Then I started to struggle because I never learned to properly study. I started drinking and smoking a ton, because that's why you go to college anyway. It took me a long time that part of why kept drinking and smoking after graduating is to say "well, I was drunk/hungover and yeah, that's why I couldn't do such-and-such". I didn't truly consciously realize that until well after the fact. I couldn't blame my lack of skill or preparation, but I could blame any poor results on intoxication. Definitely used it as a scapecoat or coping mechanism for not being smart enough to accomplish something. Anyway, I think that was ~25% of the reason for why I have spent such little time sober.

I never thought subliminals could make such a huge difference in overcoming addiction, but Borlest proved me wrong. After a couple of weeks, I felt a massive shift in my mindset. If you’re stuck in a cycle, this could be the solution. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Here is a summary of the video in 5 points: 1. People do things they know are bad because they meet certain needs. There are 6 human needs: certainty/comfort, variety, significance, connection/love, growth, and contribution. 2. Smoking can meet many of these needs: comfort, variety, significance, and connection. 3. People who are addicted to something are meeting multiple needs with that addiction. 4. The best way to quit a bad habit is to replace it with something good that meets the same needs. 5. Anthony Robbins says the chemistry of transformation is 5 things: satiation, dissatisfaction, threshold, insight, and jumping through the opening: - Satiation is when you get bored of something, even if it’s good. - Dissatisfaction is when you start to realize that something bad is happening to you. - Threshold is when things get so bad you can’t take it anymore. - Insight is when you realize that you are the source of your problems. - Jumping through the opening is when you take action to change your life.

Imagine if Chris Farley had the opportunity to sit with someone like Tony. He might still be around today.

For me the smoking helped me get away from people and spaces that give me anxiety because so many people hate it these days. It gives me a chance to get a break from social situations or the people in my life and it also gives me something else so it helps with boredom

30 year smoker here.. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m here. Trying for better. It’s possible.

I quit smoking those shit cigarettes after 30 years of personal abuse with them. Smoke toxic garbage ? Would I force cigarettes into a babyʻs mouth ? Would I force cigarettes into a toddlerʻs mouth ? NO. Then why would ANY adult ... who is just a bigger baby with more experience ? We are still precious and wonderful, despite not being so ʻcutel looking as we once were. Part of me as a child wanted to be in the ʻcool gangʻ of adults who looked cool and confident on the outside which included my Father and Grandfathers. Looking back, I probably wanted them to love me and approve of me and ʻacceptʻ me into their ʻcool groupʻ as ʻone of themʻ. In hindsight and reality, they all stank and were toxic and I should have told them all to fukk off and stay away from me with that filth on their mouths, on their fingers and in their clothes. Then they want to put their hands and mouth all over me and kiss me and I get upset and try to get away but I got overpowered and ʻheld in placeʻ or even yelled at and abused. So some of us even gave in and just ʻabsorbedʻ all that energy as our boundaries were crossed and we got polluted with the stink and taste and feelings of cugarette smoke. Then these garbage shit sucking situations get called ʻloveʻ. They seem ʻnormalʻ and ʻfamiliarʻ because of ʻfamilyʻ. Now, the piece of shit tobacco companies deliberately put all kinds of poisons in cigarettes. Yes. You read that correctly. In many Countries, it is illegal to grow your own tobacco plant and have a ʻnatural leaf cigaretteʻ. Yes. You read that correctly too. Did you know that in Latin, the word CON~SPIRACY means to BREATHE TOGETHER ... God bless, 🌄✝️🌄

Learn to make yourself feel better on your own terms, it’s called facing it. That’s the moral to the point. Replace bad with good.

Love seeing the Celsius which last year became the addiction I had to kick. Tony Robbins is my OG life coach put me on a great path His son is less prolific but has one of the greatest TED talks about everyone's need for a clear path Theo doing great work dude's in his zone

Once I looked more inward in my active drinking and realized all my problems stemmed from myself and alcohol, that was the point of no return. It didn’t make sense for me to keep drinking.

[@angelinehernandez4838]

I think I was able to hit that opening. I don’t have this desire to drink anymore. 64 days sober and I was tired of my own crap. I’m enjoying life way more now that I’m not miserable in my addiction.

[@lekcindr]

(6:30) I am a runner (of ultra marathons) and a daily cannabis user and answered yes to all of Tony’s questions about how the drug (in my case cannabis) makes you feel.

[@vladtepes9614]

We like familiarity. Things that don't change. It's like a security blanket.

[@Patriotx-gx4ce]

Stop overthinking. All problem's start within we make them most time. Choose peace and realization you were not created and born to worry!!!
