Hey all,
I know this isn't the typical question for the forum but has anyone gone through this situation? I could use some help.
Quick background: for the last three years I've pretty much been addicted to video games, weed and fast food. Three weeks ago after reading TMF I dropped all 3 cold turkey. some say you should slowly "taper" but I know I would fall back into the rabbit hole. For the first two weeks Ive felt rather dull and numb and it's slowly transitioning into anger/frustration. I'm lashing out at people and my gf, completely out of character.
At this point I realize I've been physically addicted to these things and my body is responding adversely, Games fulfilled all.my masculine desires(competition, accomplishments, semi fame) weed for the escape and food for the dopamine. Now my brains been thrust into the real world and I have no idea what to do.
Ive started working out more but it's more of a temporary release and I soon feel that frustration mounting again.
Anyone have some tips or books that could hide me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it.
