i know it's been bad for AWHILE. i haven't been in a serious long term relationship since end of 2022

i'm born and raised in the bay and have been here most of my life. i guess it could be bc i'm older now (30), but i feel like it's been god awful for awhile now. i don't meet people as often, and when i do (IRL no apps), they will act like they're interested and then ghost or come up with some stupid emotional unavailability a couple weeks in

i feel like men weren't as bad before but now i feel like all i'm dealing with is god awful men... i know there are some other dating posts in this sub, so apologies for the redundancy

i'm feeling super discouraged and bummed out. i'd essentially mostly opted out of dating because it's dangerous for women and becausethe options are horrible i'd honestly rather be alone. but every once in awhile, i'm only human and want companionship and to be planning a life with someone

i planned to quit a few weeks ago. it's been mostly going well, smoked a couple here n there when i saw friends. but otherwise it was pretty easy. except i smoked a lot tonight. i'm about to get my period and thats always the hardest time to resist

i've found optimism in how easy it was to just stop in general. so i think a blip here n there is okay and that i'm still on a good journey to properly quitting. i thought i would be okay being around typical temptations, clearly not. so i will now stay away for a few weeks or even months if need be to properly quit

any motivations are much appreciated!!

i'm 30 and was a casual social smoker/passive smoker for many years since early 20s and in last couple years due to dating a smoker it got worse. i already always planned to quit at 30, but didnt plan to be smoking so much by this age. i know cancer is hard to decipher at this age, so i just wanna be healthy in general so i can live on many years from now

basically ive been mostly entirely sober since december. the cigs slower than the drinking, but nonetheless. was completely sober for a minute there

i let myself have 'one night' where i go all out

it's so easy to be entirely sober now after somewhat limiting and then going fully sober. now i'm having a surprisingly adverse affect where i'm thinking, if not zero, how do i manage? any and all tips much appreciated!

i know it was in the episode where the time ghost guy takes him back in time etc, but i thought that their moment was outside of that and i thought it would carry on in future episodes

she's known since early s1 and i'm surprised they don't let her be in the know by s2 a few eps in tbh. i was really hoping we would know

i watched the show on tv as a kid and am rewatching now, so i really don't remember what goes on after lol. sometimes i'll have my memory jumped when i'm watching episodes but for the most part not really
