Your thinking is very Myopic
I read your write up and wanted to help in my own way, and for some reasons ,I don't want to write it in the open, not everything is meant for public consumption,
Some of you are just daft, I wonder what's special in your whatsapp, are you a woman that I should be begging you for your number,
And for your words , it seems you're gaybriel to be asking ur fellow man if he wan nyash you,
Like are you really okay?
Please I will end the conversation here,

It's a good thing the internet is available to every Tom, Dick & Harry nowadays. because back in the days you'd have to say that shit to my face and then you'd get punched in the fcukin' throat for running your mouth like a bitch.

The urge to roll up a big joint and have mindless sex took a hold of me this night...

I did a quick mental scan of all my current babes and briefly considered visiting an adult video website but I didn't let the thought stay with me for long as I brushed it off almost the moment it came in.


You see... I've been consciously guarding my thoughts and have also been intentional with my micro-thoughts and my internal monologues.

For example, once I'm on Instagram search column and a Big Bootay 🍑 pops up on my search result screen I don't spend more than 5 secs looking at it...

The moment I catch myself staring, ogling and drooling over a big booty pic online, I immediately exit the entire app.

Same with Phoenix browser app...
I hardly ever open that app anymore due to the explicit short videos featured on it.

You see... When breaking addictions one needs to be 100% actively aware of his/her triggers and I flee from them because you are defenseless against them.

One of the reasons I have been feeling this honey may be because my soon-to-be-ex babe visited yesterday and I got all smoochy & touchy with her.

I am actively and consciously avoiding triggers like a plague.

That includes scantily dressed hoes on Socials.
Clubs that have hookers.
Inviting babes home and the lot.

Besides, I need to retain those proteens as they'll be needed for all the mental calculations and planning I'll be putting my brain cells through this week.
...

I need to hit at least 5million in my savings from my work to be able to start thinking much about coitus.

I have to catch some rest now as tomorrow is church. I'll keep you guys updated.

Fluffyfafel:
Nairalanders with babies please who has tips for my making my baby eat. My baby is 7months 8.3kg and doesn't eat much only thing I can get him to eat a bit is the food on my plate and oatmeal swallow.
It's been a battle and I'm scared he's loosing weight. He hates milk or anything sweet and if I force-feed (which I'm advised against) he just pukes it all out.

It's even more frustrating when I try to make food just for him and he doesn't take it I'm juggling with work and I'm pulling my hairs at this point.
Please any tips would be immensely appreciated.

I'm single without kids but I have experience with kids .. I'll have to direct you to my dietician friend and owner of Phizo foods.

She has more expertise. You can reach out to her on Ig- Phizofoodsng

Blissful102:

So is everything meant to be said in the open?,
It's okay. Don't worry about that anymore

You wan nyash me? Abi you wan initiate me? Which one be chat you call you email you? Calm down broski. You formerly said to send you a mail which I did yet no response. Now it's WA chat .. lol bro.

What do you wanna talk about? If you can't give me a clue then I don't wanna know

....

So yesterday my babe came over to my place. Spent like an hour before leaving..

After she had some food and was relaxed I invited her over to my bed so I could hold her.

She came over and after a while she started kissing me. She ate up my lips but no tongues. Then I slid my hands down her shorts to grab her soft succulent butt cheeks.

And when I tried to lay on her she tensed up immediately. This happened in a split second. If no be say I sabi pay attention to person body language I swear I would have missed it.


She began to adjust herself and escaped from my hold and left the bed. Hmmm 🤔

By this time, I was already hard as steel!

I mean it's been a while I held a woman in the privacy of my room. E done dey reach 2 months now.

I felt bad and she noticed but promised to visit again. In my mind, I know I'd have to get another girlfriend. ..

I can't keep providing BF services while getting nothing in return. The system is rigged against me

Blissful102:

Just send me your whatsapp privately on email bro

We are already communicating here. Why do you insist on WA chat? Isn't it something we can discuss here?

CandyOps:
This is Day 8 of staying free from Marijuana and all forms of it.

Effects of Weed on REM Sleep

1. **Reduction of REM Sleep**: THC tends to suppress REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is the sleep stage associated with dreaming and cognitive restoration. I'll explain what cognitive restoration means.

Now... What is Cognitive Restoration?

Cognitive restoration refers to the process through which the brain restores & enhances its functioning during sleep, particularly during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.

Here are key aspects of cognitive restoration:

### Key Aspects of Cognitive Restoration


1. **Memory Consolidation**: REM sleep plays a vital role in consolidating or strengthening memories.


During this phase, the brain processes and organizes information acquired during the day, helping to transfer short-term memories into long-term storage.

Which is why most stoners are bad at keeping a collective memory.


2. **Emotional Regulation**: REM sleep is important for processing emotions and experiences.

REM sleep helps the brain to merge emotional memories, which can lead to better emotional regulation and endurance.

3. **Problem-Solving & Creativity**: REM sleep has been linked to enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities.

The brain makes new connections & associations during this phase, which can lead to insights and innovative thinking.

Which is also why a lot of stoners lack zeal & motivation.


4. **Neuroplasticity**: REM sleep contributes to neuroplasticity, which is -- the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself. This is essential for learning and recovery from injuries.

Which is also why smokers tend to have a literary fried brain cells.


5. **Cognitive/Mental/Psychological Functioning**: Adequate REM sleep is associated with improved attention, concentration, and overall cognitive performance.

Lack of REM sleep can lead to difficulties in these areas.

### CONCLUSION

In summary, cognitive restoration during REM sleep is extremely important for memory processing, emotional health, creativity, and overall cognitive functioning.

Disruptions in REM sleep can negatively impact these processes, leading to various cognitive and emotional challenges.


Which is also why persons below 27 years aren't advised to smoke weed.... And the reason is because your brain is still growing during those early years of your life.

.
.

.
LET ME END BY REPEATING MY REASONS FOR EMBARKING ON THIS QUITING SMOKING CHALLENGE.

REAFFIRMATIONS:

I'll stay clean for my lungs
I'll stay off weed for my brain cells
I'll stay off weed to improve my cognitive and mental health.


I'll stay off weed to realign my subconscious during REM sleep.

I'll stay off smoking to prevent the habit being passed down to my offsprings when God in his infinite abundance presents a suitable spouse.


I'll stay clean to detox ...
I feel so good and I know the universe is aligning to my affirmations 🙏

So... That's it. I'll update in tomorrow, Sunday.

Time to hit the gym because CandyOps understands that the moment he cut off the major source of his dopamine supply he has to get those cherished hits from other sources hence - lifting weights up to 100kg and above 💪

This is Day 8 of staying free from Marijuana and all forms of it.

I think I'm at the last phase of withdrawals as
I currently find it hard to sleep. Not like I'm an early sleeper but then I don't have troubles falling asleep when I want to.

Or... maybe it's my doom scrolling that keeps me up all night.

But then the nightmares are here!
Weed kinda disrupts REM sleep stage and shiit.

Stay with me I'll explain...

Weed, particularly strains high in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), can impact sleep patterns, including REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Here’s how it affects REM sleep:

Effects of Weed on REM Sleep

1. **Reduction of REM Sleep**: THC tends to suppress REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is the sleep stage associated with dreaming and cognitive restoration. I'll explain what cognitive restoration means

This can lead to fewer dreams and may affect overall sleep quality.

2. **Increased Sleep Latency**: While some people may fall asleep faster with THC, it can also increase the time it takes to enter REM sleep, disrupting the normal sleep cycle.

3. **Altered Sleep Architecture**: Regular use of cannabis can change the structure of sleep cycles, often leading to longer periods of deep sleep (non-REM) at the expense of REM sleep.

4. **Withdrawal Effects**: For regular users, stopping cannabis can lead to a rebound effect where REM sleep may increase significantly, potentially resulting in vivid dreams or nightmares during withdrawal.

5. **Individual Variability**: The impact of weed on sleep can vary widely among individuals based on factors like tolerance, dosage, and individual biology.

### Conclusion

While some may use cannabis to aid sleep onset, its impact on REM sleep can lead to changes in sleep quality and overall health. Reducing or moderating use may help restore a healthier sleep pattern over time.

Listen to yourself. Are you making sense? Every man simps for the woman he loves even if she doesn't love him back Didn't you read some of my own simps quotes? What are you saying? I'm not asking for your opinion if you don't have anything reasonable to say why not exit? Drop popular simp punchline I'm not asking for your goddam opinion

Lol... The road to ruin is paved with good intentions. Funny how the little yellowish amber flame of the candle light you lit up is about to spiral out of control into a wildfire

Sometimes even the best intentions can lead to the worst outcomes.. just smile and wave! You've sadly lost the rein over this thread lol

Make I see small 5million from my business savings first. Make I hear say I no reactivate my bbw chasing mode. All these skinny and moderate sized girls too dey get issues.

No be like say bbws no get issue but if you dey remember how u take dey spank dey booty you go dey forget their issues

There's this solar light in the shape of cctv but its just solar light you can try it out. It's very cheap and it uses remote control

Ok thanks for the suggestion. Do you already sell it? Is it hot? As I've exhausted my ad budget. I can't afford to test random products for fun.

My next sales campaign will have to be a joint venture. I develop & design the sales funnel while my partner's will provide funding for the test advert.

I've been up since yesterday. I need to catch some rest

ecomalchemistt:



There’s money in the list.

Also focus on building a digital real estate , like a YouTube channel or something.

Also add digital marketing specific skills to your portfolio (SEO, SEM, PPC,) etc.

Ok thanks. I always somehow miss those specifics when sending out my CV. I once had a page rank on Google page 1 in the men's health niche. But it didn't bring in any sales or new subs
Just page views

Blissful102:

Can we discuss? Please write me on my email with your whatsapp number,
Wealthdigitals36@gmail.com

Yes we can. Isn't it something we can talk about here on NL?

Stayed awake yesterday till past 2am working on a sales page for the last product I'll give a trial.

I have to complete it this morning in other to test run it today being a weekend.

I also made up my mind to start building a customer list. I think I leave a lot of money on the table running a hot sales campaign as against growing a customer list.

Hopefully this will work 🤞

Blissful102:

I'm interested in the product,
Please email me at Wealthdigitals36@gmail.com

It's herbs and roots. Like your normal agbo. So there you go

Day 6!! I'm on a flow now.
I had a meeting with my friends to discuss business and they surprisingly told me they were on a break from smoking as well.

The universe really connects to you when you tune in. I also got an invite for a birthday hangout but I had to decline the moment I heard they already rolled up some fat Canadian joints.

Twas tempting but I'll pass.
I knew it'd be easy if I made up my mind. And if I dedicate time to lifting weights as I have to get my daily dopamine hits else I'll relapse into the habit again

Clean sheet continues.. It gets easier after Day 3. One thing I've noticed is that the way you see life when sober and high differ a lot. ..

Now that I'm sober, e come be like say I done dey see the shege with clear eyes. Omo!! E no easy to face life with clear eyes o.

So na this thing people wey no dey smoke dey experience?! Ha! Omo lol

CandyOps:
Clean sheet Day 3 morning.

Feeling quite low on motivation today.

Day 5. Clean sheet record still up.
I fit just finally become non-smoker last last by the end of this fasting.

I now experience headaches. Woke up this morning with a dull almost imperceptible ache.

I done even nearly pay for some malaria pills this morning b4 my second thought 🤔 reminded me mild headaches are part of the withdrawal symptoms.

Damn bleeping withdrawals! 🤦

Still low on motivation and I hope to have enof morale to hit my gym tonight.

At this point, I no dey even get 1 single urge to smoke any more. The nightmares are yet to come.

I'm expectant... And I'm yet to start getting rewards from the mystic universe. Maybe it's still not convinced at my efforts.

I need to put in more work towards my goals (not just in abstaining from weed)

i have seen it boss, pls delete

Ok I saw the products you sent me on WA. Does it work for libido also and any NAFDAC cert on it?

Do you mean the dummy solar CCTV?

dkidd:

That's what a lot of people do but at the long run U lose on clients who requires value. U got to deliver value bro... It's not always about profit build a solid base be known for the value U deliver. I know it's easier said than done

Yes. I know right?
That's why I'm thinking about the health niche. I know a couple of cheap yet effective products that could fly.

I'm currently working on the sales page as we speak. I do get a lot of return customers on that as the product is sure especially for men who don't last long in bed.

We keep trying till 1 clicks

ecomalchemistt:
When you’re on a lean budget , you do local arbitrage.

People don’t import these days anymore.

Made a lot of money back in 2021 selling health products, but Mark kept banning my account.

Got fed up and dumped FB ads for good.

Sure. Local arbitrage has been my saviour for a couple of months especially when I sold kids tablets but then market inconsistency made the seller pause with the supplies when the dollar blew past the ₦1k mark.

I also delved into health earlier in my e-commerce journey. Men's health niche gave me my first Milla back then in 2018 but 1m isn't worth so much nowadays.

I and my guys had a meeting yesterday to discuss the way forward and we decided to give the sex health sub-niche a try again.

We stand more chances of getting cheap products that can be sold with like 20k markup on top after expenses and we also planned on creating a list of buying customers so we don't leave money on the table

Bitterkola100:
drop your number and mention me on a dead thread.
I have a locally sourced product you can easily make millions from with a short period.

I have dropped the number on another thread. Reply me here when you see it so I can delete the number

SarutobiEky:
boss. I already mentioned you on a dead thread. Please check. Thank you.

I done drop the number. Reply me here when you see it so I can delete it

Nazgul:
To be honest I really feel for you cos most of Tinubu's supporters who still live with their parents have no idea of what he's doing to the economy and how he's killing the efforts of genuine young husslers.

The reality here is that the economy is bad, and the purchasing power of the masses keeps going downward on a daily basis. So whatever kind of business you go into would definitely experience serious challenges. Because Tinubu's ultimate goal is to plunge the entire population into poverty so that they'll be at his mercy.

That's why no matter how hard you try to hussle, you'd discover that you just cannot see the money, cos inflation and the constant collapse of the naira against the dollar would keep frustrating your efforts.

You made mention of digital marketing, it's a good path, you can even get foreign remote jobs in that field, that way you won't have to struggle with HBP whenever you experience poor sales on stocked goods

Yea. Already submitted a few applications. I may have to use LinkedIn more often. With focus on marketing and sales opening.

I am currently trying to liquidate my funds in Binance because na who dey alive dey invest

IMO01:
How I survive with ecommerce and digital Marketing is dropshipping.

The product I sell I look for people selling It in other states selling it states run ads to those states. They fulfil the order and send me the markup ontop.

I don't import.

But I'm still looking for products to run ads for.

I'm experimenting with solar light and solar products.

Nigeria no go kill us

Solar is HOT! right now. I have a couple of friends dealing on it.

But then I'm looking for cheap products below 5k that I can pair with another then sell. Any good portable solar should cost up to 20k and above. Anything below that would be thrashy.

I just want to send a broadcast to my past customers on WA and see if I can get any return customers.

Bitterkola100:
i am from the fb ads thread.
Please drop your number, i have a super product you would want to see.

Hi. I don't have access to the email attached to this moniker so I'll mention you on an unrelated thread to Xchange WA number

SarutobiEky

Use

Don't quote the number so I can erase it later. Let's chat on WA

Treborblue:
Bro I recently did the fb ads thing . And a lot of clicks but low sales . I spent 350k on ads in 5days . I made roughly 100k . I’m just starting out but I think maybe i should invest in something I can do payment on delivery on. Cause that’s what most of the clients want . Maybe we can talk better

Yes most definitely.
35k per day is a whole lot. I usually start with 10k daily but fund 5 - 7k for like 2 or 3 days before scaling the daily ad budget to 15k while funding 10k.

If performances are good, I then scale to 20k daily while funding 15k except on weekends. I go all in Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

FB is crazy if you have the whole formula working out fine for you.

Day 4, identifying as a non-smoker.


6.45am wake up time.

I feel a whole lot better after a full 7 hours rest. I feel refreshed, recharged and brand new. 🌞

Happy independence day my people...
Today we count our blessings and loses.

Oh damn! I didn't get to fund my Meta advert account as my debit cards got expired yesterday. Plus I was too dizzy to keep my eyes open for another hour to midnight.

So my routine for the day will be:

1. Journal on NL as I'm doing rn (30mins).
2. Toilet break (15mins)
3. Read a chapter of Brian Tracy's The Psychology Of Selling . Read half a chapter of Robert Greene's The 33 Strategies Of War 40mins

4. Have a little quiet time to meditate (30mins)
5. Look at my To-do list from yesterday and have a mental pic of my tasks ahead today

3. Stretch, cardios (45mins)

4. Bath (10mins)

5. Brew myself a hot cup of black coffee

6. Turn on my ads - back to work. (3 hours)

7. Take a break for 30 mins.

8. I need to take a swim later in the evening. It's been a while I took a dip.

9. Complete the course outline I drafted for my digital products sales and review my advert performance.

10. I should pay for the nursing school entrance form and open a CA & UK Tiktok account for monetisation. Facebook included.


I should learn to wake up earlier...
1 hour headstart is better

Leniroyal:
Cool thread. It's been 4 months plus still counting of abstinence for me. Smoked fo over 20 years

Wow! What triggered your decision to take a break?
