Years of substance abuse (weed, cigarettes, alcohol) along with almost daily gooning and a 12+ hour daily screen time has absolutely RAPED my brain. Due to this i got fired at my job and am failing all my exams this year

I simply have not done anything but rot for the last 2 to 3 years as I have 0 attention span. Either its social media, substances or gooning. Does anyone have any tips on how to break this cycle of misery and consumption. I have stopped smoking and drinking but the screen time and gooning stuff doesnt go away.


HOW DO I BREAK THIS CYCLE BHAIS

Its up to you to change, you have to detox your brain somehow by making little choices in ur day

I got rid of heavy screen addiction by dedicating 1 day a week without it, and putting all electronics in a spot it was absolutely impossible to access them until I did smthg productive

For gooning its not that deep just masturbate to ur thoughts instead of porn I dont think its very hard to stop

it's most likely the weed, alcohol & porn/masturbation - stop these 3 immediately and start being more productive; find a job, dedicate time to studying, play video games, lurk on LM forums, spend time with family etc. in your free time, just any activity that isn't the 3 mentioned

i would just spend 30min or so every night before you sleep meditating or simply staring at a wall just to get used to spending time without constant dopamine

what dosage do you recommend and are the side effects as bad as google says
I use 40mg daily and only side effects ive noticed is a raised resting heart of 5-10bpm from before. This is also while using 30mg nic pouches and minimum 200mgs of caffeine daily as well, start off at 10-20 mgs and if you dont notice any side effects you can safely increase it. also make sure you dont have any pre existing heart conditions and that your blood pressure is normal. wouldnt use it combined with other heavy stims like coke, use either one but dont combine on the same day. if your on any anabolics or gh/ gh secretagogues id be wary of your blood pressure but other than that it is usually well tolerated. they prescribe it to kindergardeners so it cant be that bad

if you have adhd youd get it prescribed instantly, if you really wanted to you can just larp adhd by saying i cant focus and all that shit, takes longer than buying somewhere else but you have the reassurance that its pharma and not laced
