    1080p same as last year

    On a serious note I want to quit smoking but the reason I smoke is stress from the job so not sure how to approach that. Thinking of just going cold turkey since I am not a chain smoker and only smoke 3-5 cigarettes a day so the withdrawals should be manageable.

      Quitting (anything) has a lot to do with you as a person. Some people can just do it cold turkey - they just have to try, others it’s a battle, but it is always better to start the journey, you’re worth it.

      Alan Carr- the easy way to quit smoking. It actually helps but you have to want to quit and really, actually follow the instructions. It works though.

      I feel you. There’s only one antidote: time.

      • It’s good to make a disclaimer to anyone around you at work, family, etc. You will be more nervous and you cold act like an ass sometimes. You can bet on it.
      • Don’t take important decisions in the next month.
      • You will gain weight. Less smoke brings more food cravings. Try to compensate with walking.
      • Find something to fill your mouth. I used Liquorice root (helps me also with low blood pressure so it was a no brainer for me).
      • Keep on keeping on (cit.). You’ll have now and then desire, not need, desire to come back smoking. Compensate that with the thought of being free. Good Luck mate.

      I quit smoking 3 packs a week in favor of vaping a few years ago, and the only reason I quit vaping is because of wisdom tooth surgery. I didn’t really want to, despite knowing I should, as I reasoned with myself that the vape isn’t that harmful. I quit a month ahead of my surgery because I knew stopping nicotine and weed at same time I’d be a grouch and I’m glad I did! Still miss it sometimes and I’ll occasionally smoke hookah or a blunt, but nice not to be feining for a hit of nicotine when I don’t have access.

    I try to learn something every year. One year it was to solve a rubiks cube, one year it was how to ride a unicycle. Juggle. Magic tricks. Shit like that. My thought is that if I need a resolution to change something negative or start doing something positive, I shouldn’t wait till 1/1 to start that, I should start that as soon as I see a problem/opportunity.

    Read at least 120 books with half authored by woman and two fifths authored by someone in a minority community.

    Being more like myself and stop desperately trying to appeal to other people. You’d think that’s easy, but noooope. Especially considering the fact that, after years of behaving like other people expect you to behave, you start forgetting who you really are.
