Ima be honest bro, I have adhd bad and smoking really eases my mind and really makes me think about what I’m really trynna do with my life and what distractions to eliminate so for me bro, I think it’s okay

Wow my brother this is all 100% true,could not agree with you more. Anything in life worth having takes time and hard work.

I used to smoke a lot, and I’ve stopped now, but I’d say smoking definitely didn’t help me. If you want me to keep it a buck, I think you’d get more benefits from quitting smoking than from quitting porn. Ofc I’d drop both if you can. The way smoking works is very similar to drinking, jacking off, or any addiction really, it’s short term gratification. You smoke weed to feel good at the end of the day, but what I’ve learned from quitting is that you feel even better at the end of the day if you spend the day hard at work, which is hard to do when you smoke att. I used to think I worked hard when I smoked, but it was an illusion. What smoking does is turn off your inner critic, which is why it spikes creativity and make you feel like everything is “all good”, but if you don’t have your inner critic, it’s very hard to make improvements, so it’s really not worth it imo. Like with jacking off, when you fulfill that urge correctly, it’s 10 times more fulfilling. Your sex drive is meant for you to find a wife, and a wife is infinitely more fulfilling than your hand, similarly, your urge to relax and feel good is a good urge, and it’s meant to push you to work hard throughout the day to earn that rest and good feeling. Naturally, dopamine is spiked by things earned, such as hard work, or food(which in nature, would have to be earned), or something nice you worked hard to get, or a happy family that you worked hard for. These are all wonderful things which you’re robbing yourself of with cheap gratification. Nothing in this life is free brother. Anything that brings temporary joy comes with a price.

it makes it worse for me personally, but i’ve heard it helps some people. i think it just depends on the person, so if it works for you keep at it

I think it makes it worse for me
