Coping with impulses ?

0

Of the many things stopping me from coming to terms with how to deal with my mental issues, and entire self as a whole, is my habitual use of both nicotine and marijuana. For about the past 3 years I’ve been habitually smoking weed nearly daily, and cigarettes for about 2 of those. Now , the longest time I would always do both at the same time, so now I sort of feel like I have some connection with both of them, I feel like if I have one I HAVE to have the other.

So, this goes to the whole deal about this: The first step towards focussing on the rest of my jumbled, work of a head, is to actually become clearheaded, yet I’m finding this to be nearly impossible. Today I broke down and started crying on the floor literally 3 times due to the agony of both my splitting headache, boredom, and desperation to feel anything but sober. It’s becoming to really interfere with my life, and I really can’t stand it anymore.

tl;dr – I got addictions, what are some good way to fight those?

P.S. – I’m really sorry if this is hard to follow, I can’t think straight for the life of me right now.

Distract yourself is something that can help a ton. ;) Throw away all your cigs, and weed and make sure its in a place where you cant get it back. also, sometimes talking about your addiction helps alot and makes you realize that you dont need to be so dependent on it.

I know this may sound like a risky idea. But, maybe going all out and quiting ain't the way forward. Maybe what you want to try and cut down slowly? Maybe reward yourself with a cig when you've achieved something you wnated or needed to do. Almost like a reward.
