I have another 1 month to break this habit.
In the meantime, I got to do OMAD and AHAD.
I need 45 days to form these habits.
As long as I don't have nicotine in my body, I am progressing towards a worthy ideal.
Nothing less...
------------------------
This is really bad. I feel really depressed.
How do I fight depression?
Do I keep going rock bottom for the next 30 days?
Will the Sake Technique of breaking the bronco work?
I can only know after the 45th day.
Meanwhile, I will persist. The worst that can ever happen is I will get sleepy.
So back to the question, how do I fight depression?
I will break the bronco after 45 days.
Plenty of sleep until then.
------------------------------
What is the alternative? Start chewing Nicorette again. That is not *a[t] (an) option. Not after 41 years. I will carry on for the next 3 months to stabilize my brain's chemical.
* Yes baby, I will not be a nicotine addict for life.
So there are 3 schools of thoughts:
- A new habit is formed after 45 days
- It takes 2 weeks to 3 months for brain chemical to stabile
- For every year on drugs, need 1 month to recover. Thus I need 41 months
So I had done 2 weeks, which is the shortest. Still feel depressed. I should extend another 30 days.
That is how tricky to shake off nicotine addiction.
I discovered the root cause of my smoking - the void created by the lack of a mother's love.
Why do I still feel depressed? This time it is biological. It is due to low dopamine.
The key here is to increase dopamine - doing new and exciting things:
- Finish Coursera
- Read new book
