It is a crazy vicious cycle. Normally happened when I quit nicotine. At first I craved for dope. When I smoke dope I will crave for sugar and finally I will cave in to cigarette.
This is the dopamine cycle. It seems that I crave many things at a time. In reality I only crave for one thing - dopamine. To break this cycle I got to maintain a certain level of optimum health so that I get my dopamine hit from sweating.
Let me see if I can curb the craving through songs:
It can be done with body in motion.
This is the real test of quit smoking; when I no longer have to depend on nicotine. For the past 1 year that urge was laced with Nicorette. Without Nicorette I am back to fighting dopamine addiction.
I will still get my dopamine hits but they should come from my runs and swims.
I also notice that since I quit Nicorette, my urge for carbs had also increased.
No matter what NO DOPE. It makes me crazy.
I think I'll go for a drive while listening to Iron Maiden.
I need to get rid of nicotine dependency. Nicorette is not the answer. The key is to live free from dependencies.
It's getting easier. I got until 31/5/19 to break the habit. In the mean time I run:
OK Sarah, I'll catch up with you later. I need to shake this urge to smoke pot by driving around.
Later baby...
