Wellness Wednesday for October 12, 2022

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

I'll be in a country where all ADHD medication and stimulant drugs are extremely illegal, so I'll probably start smoking again to manage my spaz brain. Can't vape because nicotine juice is banned too. Any recommendations on cigs or patches?

Also, please share your experience if you've ever self medicated with nicotine or caffeine.

Which moronic country is this that bans vape juices? Singapore?

Okay seems there are quite a few moronic countries. Latin America and South East Asia seems to have a problem with vapes. Big lol on Latin America (the cartels probably can't profit off vapes, half kidding) and SEA seems to be in character (children smoking is a major problem in Indonesia but I suppose thats less bad than vaping).


As for cigarettes, If you are in SEA consider trying out 'Kreteks' they are Indonesian cigarettes with cloves in them. The flavor is excellent. Sampoerna is my preferred brand.

If you are in Latin America, you can self medicate using other drugs. [Or don't, you don't want to get involved with the cartels]

Which moronic country is this that bans vape juices? Singapore?

Canada is increasingly moving in that direction -- more like "moronic government" than moronic country as hardly anyone (other than vapers) gives a shit, but I'll bet the FDA would be doing similar things if they weren't otherwise occupied.
