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
