Nugs, Nuts, and Self-Control – Exploring abstinence, fapping, and cannabis use

Nugs, nuts & self-control

In a world where instant gratification is often the focus, the notion of self-control can seem like a relic of a bygone era. Nonetheless, the cultivation of discipline and restraint remains an essential aspect of personal growth and well-being. The ancient Greeks extolled the virtues of moderation, and the same principles apply today, especially when it comes to indulging in life’s pleasures. In Nugs, Nuts & Self-control we will examine the relationship between self-control, cannabis use and sexual restraint.

Self-control is essentially about choosing our actions consciously and regulating our impulses. It is the ability to take our desires and channel them in a way that serves our long-term goals and values. When it comes to cannabis, it means striking a delicate balance between enjoying the myriad benefits of the plant and avoiding the pitfalls of over-indulgence. As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, we will delve into the power of self-mastery and its potential to transform our lives in unexpected ways.

In recent years, I’ve been on a significant introspective journey, as many have been during the pandemic. Many of us chose other paths, started to work on our character, our body, our soul. I too went through a similar transformation and am still on this path.

In the last five years I’ve managed to quit a smoking habit that was slowly sucking the life out of me. I started working on a project that filled my soul instead of endlessly pressing keys on a keyboard to make money.

I stared into my inner abyss and didn’t flinch as the shadows emerged. These badly acquired habits, gifted to us unconsciously by our younger selves, plague our daily endeavors. Those voices of insecurity and shame, the inner critic at his best. The shit I don’t want anyone else to know about.

Or maybe you’ve just gotten to a point where you’re comfortable with your demons. Maybe it was just an agreement of mediocrity between you and what David Goggins calls “the inner bitch.”

And so, as a seasoned stoner and lifelong masturbator who managed to t-break and nutt-break for extended periods of time. I decided to write this very important article. It is an article of self-transformation by taming some of the most primal forces that reside within our bodies.

Find the root of your vice?

As we venture into the depths of our vices, it’s important to realize that whether it’s rolling a fat blunt or giving in to the urge, our habits often serve as a temporary fix to deeper emotional wounds. These seemingly innocuous indulgences offer us fleeting solace, but like an emotional credit card, we accumulate a growing guilt that eventually catches up with us.

The addict in us knows that these actions are detrimental to our well-being, but we insist. When this realization dawns on us, the universe is signaling that it is time to face our inner demons. It may seem daunting, but the mere act of acknowledging the emptiness in our lives puts us on the path to healing.

Our habits serve as a coping mechanism for past trauma, unfulfilled desires, and a decompression for the challenges we face. When we try to uncover the root of our vice, we may encounter resistance from our ego trying to perpetuate the status quo.

So when you find that you are no longer enjoying cannabis, self-pleasure, social media, gaming or any other stimulant, it is time to pay close attention to what comes next. The journey of self-discovery begins with digging deep into the reasons for these compulsions. When we peel off the layers, we’ll find that our habits are often manifestations of unresolved pain or unmet needs.

Confronting the root cause of our vices is an essential step in regaining control and finding true fulfillment. Seize this opportunity to face your demons and embark on a journey toward healing and personal growth.

Why am I adding “Fapping”?

Porn and masturbation are often linked together, forming a powerful combination that changes brain chemistry. Scientific studies have shown that engaging in these activities can create a dopamine feedback loop that leads to addiction.

However, unlike other addictions, it is actually celebrated and encouraged. We keep it secretly hidden behind closed doors, but don’t let anyone see your browsing history, as your “healthy facade” is likely to turn into a depraved perversion of your external projections.

Now don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing inherently wrong with jerking off or watching porn, but when you’re on a path of self-discovery and personal empowerment – ​​these are elements that distract you and keep you docile.

Therefore, anyone serious about improving their life would consider “lack of self-control when masturbating or watching porn” as a problem that needs to be addressed.

Couple a healthy porn addiction with excessive cannabis – and you’ve got a room full of caked Kleenex stuffed into the crack that best hides your shame.

As we strive to become the best versions of ourselves, recognizing and addressing these vices is imperative. By developing self-control and breaking free from the bondage of addiction, we can create space for growth, healing, and progression. It’s time to face our demons, overcome our weaknesses, and cultivate a healthy, fulfilling life that lives up to our highest aspirations.

Why am I including cannabis on this list?

While cannabis isn’t an issue for me personally, there are some people who use it as one of their “escape pods.” That’s mostly because they don’t have their shit together and are looking for easy ways to “feel good” and not want to face the music.

I have smoked cannabis for over twenty years and was a late smoker when I was a teenager. I got high every weekend, then every day…then I bought pounds.

One summer I didn’t leave my basement and smoked for three months. People brought food and entertainment and me and my buddies smoked for 90 days straight.

Now I understand that I was a teenager caught in the trance of being young, but as I got older I realized that my use was excessive and didn’t make my person edifying at all. So I quit for 3-4 years to get a grip on myself.

When I started smoking again my relationship with it changed and now I use it as a tool in my arsenal of tools. I consider it “plant medicine” and use it to be more productive.

However, I also know many chimney smokers who only smoke weed all day. And if that’s what they want, that’s their choice. Everyone is free to do nothing with their lives, but after a while, when the emotional debtor comes to collect – that’s when most “addicts” hit rock bottom.

I don’t use “addicted” in reference to the power of weed, but rather that substance or activity is irrelevant to an addict. If it’s not weed, it could be her own genitals.

How do you stop the compulsion?

The first thing is to identify these loops. This means that you simply have to “become mindful” as you do whatever you do.

Pay attention to when you do it, your surroundings, the apps you use, the shows you watch, the people you hang out with…all of these things are part of the environment.

Put them on a list.

Then create a strategy to deal with it.

Second, you must understand that you must make a “life-changing decision.” A decision that is non-negotiable. You must commit to the process and “accept in advance” the pain and suffering you may endure.

You should have the mindset that says, “No matter how hard it sucks…I’ll take it”. You essentially have to renounce that you won’t do this “forever” because this is no longer “who you are”.

Which brings me to the third reason – WHY!

Why will you endure the suffering. Why do you free yourself from your joys? That why has to be strong. You must have the determination.

In my case, when it came to cannabis, it was just a test of “am I addicted” and I found that sometimes I used it a little bit more, but if there was no weed tomorrow – I’d be okay.

When it came to fapping, it was much more ingrained. Probably because it was one of my first vices.

There was a battle of sexual powers raging, coupled with notions of self-worth… I mean, I’m definitely going to write a book about that experience.

The point is, when you make a decision about “who you are,” you can articulate the “why” that can help you through the hardest part of letting go.

And then you focus on your who and work on it, you dig up your promises and march on. That’s the only way I know how to effectively redeem myself, by confronting your demons head on and accepting everything – even your flaws, but most importantly… becoming a different version of you.

What you are today must die to make way for what you should be.

What was harder?

I personally find that controlling the nutt is far more complicated and requires a higher level of self-control than smoking cannabis. I am sure that most people who are addicted to cannabis are also addicted to fapping. In fact, I personally think it’s probably one of the most widespread addictions in society and as more people try to overcome it, they will find more satisfaction in life, more difficult things, etc.

Personally, for me, the complexity of harnessing your biological imperative and sort of “taming the beast” is a lot harder than quitting the weed.

With weed, all you have to do is keep yourself busy and do some exercise or yoga to supplement the cannabinoid waste you experience from abstinence.

However, when it comes to fapping, society is designed to make you think about sex. It’s in all our ads and all over the web. We’re conditioned to seeing hot people in skimpy outfits tapping into our most primal reproductive instincts.

However, when you have the ability to control yourself sufficiently, to say “no,” and to commit to a higher standard of living, you will lift your gaze from your stride to the horizon and begin to have a strong…almost sexual drive—to achieve your goals to reach.

So if you are currently in a world of abundance, take a 21 day t break and challenge yourself in the fapping department. You might learn a thing or two.
