the easiest way to quit any vice.

the end goal we want in life?
to be surrounded by people we love and admire,
who love and admire us as well.

the only resource we have as humans?
attention and energy.

attention is self explanatory

money is an imperfect medium of exchange for attention and energy.
but it's one of the best we have.

it should be used on things that get us to the end goal above.

how do we get to be loved and admired?
we have to do things which are deserving of such.
working hard to create value for the ones we love, or society in general.

every dollar or second,
spent on vices,
and excess consumption,
is us saying, my sensory pleasures and distractions,
are more important than this other person who needs help.

allocate our excesses to those who need it.

along the journey of quitting,
you will falter many times,
it will be hard, and painful.

the brain will come up with many reasons why,
the vices and consumption, somehow help those people in need,
you are the easiest person to fool,
but trust your intuition,
and keep trying.

once you've went through the journey of quitting,
which will be excruciating.
you would have gained the skill of,
rewiring your brain.
the other challenges in life,
will feel slightly less challenging.
