  • You have 2 addictions one is the nicotine the other is having something to do with your hands and mouth. Quitting smoking is so hard because you are fighting 2 addictions at once.

    Nicotine replacement is a bad strategy for quitting smoking because the nicotine is the easier habit to break. It only takes a few days to a few weeks to no longer have a physical craving for nicotine. The need to have something to occupy your hands and mouth is way more insidious and that is the impulse that gets activated when you see something triggering. When you see someone smoke in a movie and it makes you long for a smoke doing the action that would give you the nicotine without getting the nic fix starts training your brain that the action doesn’t work anymore or doesn’t work as well.








  • I’m gonna be a dick.

    A lib spiraling because you dashed their delusional cope is a good thing. (it being your romantic partner is not ideal) If you can bring them to a realization that the democratic party is a genocidal colonialist party that supports white anglo supremacy you are doing good things.

    The questions for you are whether 1)you put your political views above your relationship 2)they put their political views above your relationship 3) whether you can come to a consensus based on materialist reality. (aka can you radicalize them to the immortal science of Marxist Leninism)

    If it destroys your relationship that is sad but do you think a stable relationship is possible when one party clings to a fantasy that ignores materialist reality? Being in a relationship with someone who clings to delusional cope is probably not sustainable. Better to work this out before you sign legally binding documents.
