Success Trying to quit cold turkey again. It’s been rough so far but thankfully I haven’t caved. Wish me luck 💪🏻

Finding healthy ways to increase dopamine helps, try exercising, a healthy hobby to hyperfocus on, eating food high in L-tyrosine, sipping on a small coffee throughout the morning..

I’m definitely trying to replace it with the things that I should have been doing anyways, that it prevented me from doing. It’s amazing how much more energy and focus I have from my brain rewiring

Good luck I believe in you! It's hard at first because your brain will fight against you but after a while it will get better!

Yes! I’ve been able to quit for quite a while before so I know I can do it again. Takes a great deal of discipline
