Self Improvement

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.

I can link a torrent audiobook for that Allen Carr - easy way to stop smoking book if you like. The method is pretty unique in that it targets the false ideological supports of addiction(targeting the lies we tell ourselves about addiction), rather than trying to use willpower. They use that method for all kinds of different addictions too, because it works really well.
Okay thanks
k, here ya go

The Easy Way To Stop Smoking - Allen Carr
Thank you.
This was something that helped me kind of deprogram myself from the way I thought about nicotine addiction. It helped me change my perspective from "nicotine makes me feel good" to "nicotine makes me feel like shit except when I'm actively smoking," which was crucial for me to really quit.
