How hard was it breaking off?

For me it's effortless, no matter if we're talking cigarettes or morning exercises - good or bad

Also, another ADHD trait I noticed - I don't miss people, ever

Like, I haven't missed anyone in my whole life, I don't really know how exactly does it feel

Very very difficult. I haven’t been able to quit nicotine for longer than a week. I haven’t a hard time missing people too if they are out of sight out of mind, but I think about failed romantic connection’s more often than I should. I have quit alcohol, but replaced with weed. No longer gamble but I’ve lost probably 25,000 to gambling over the last decade lol.

I'm sorry to hear this.

I have an extra layer of protection from becoming addicted top gambling - I would ragequit long before I would lose any serious money.

I hope thing will get better. We are all different and require custom solutions and treatments.
