I am obsessed with the idea of living healthy

The strongest man in the world can't sleep? damn...

Seriously though, if you wanna fix sleep then you need to start going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. so 10-6 for example. You need to reset your circadian rhythm.

I can't help you with the smoking though.

 

Basically you need to think long term right, so not just like buying healthy food here and there or working out sometimes but consistency. But of course if it's a lifestyle the transition is in itself a process. In general going with one thing you can do consistently and building on that is probably a good idea.

 

Yes, I've a long history with all sorts of addictions. Thankfully, I've learned to stop most of them. I managed to stop smoking weed and cigarettes, with cigarettes being the hardest by far. But at least I had patches to help. Without them I'm to sure how successful I would have been.

Unfortunately, with PMO there are no patches or magic pills. I'm still drinking far more than I want, but I usually find I can stop one, but not the other. But it's also fair to say that drinking supports PMO in it's own way.

I'm hoping, planning, thinking that through abstinence of one, I will build on the skills, strength, courage and conviction to believe in my ability to stop the other.

I must say though, if you can go 24 hours without a cigarette, that's really quite impressive. Have you tried patches? From my experience, they gave me that extra confidence to stop

Best of luck with your goals!

 

Congrats on 30 days clean, thats a tremendous achievement. I always advise people to be kind to themselves, and 'fix' one thing at a time, so maybe the cigs can wait? One a day isn't that big a deal.

Sleep is worth sorting, as there is nothing like feeling refreshed and wide awake each morning to face the day's challenges. I'm sure youve heard it before, but a strict no screens rule two hours before bed time will miraculously change your ability to fall asleep and your quality of sleep too. Its a good rule of thumb not to eat before bed either, or at least just a light snack.
Establish a simple enjoyable and relaxing evening routine. Something like: tidy up, put on PJs, wash, clean teeth, read fiction until you feel sleepy (personally i prefer to read in a chair then transfer to bed, but whatever suits you), get into bed and light out.

 

I am a bit like that when it comes to how I am getting the majority of my nutrient intake. So the majority of time avoiding certain foods, and trying to make sure I am getting all of my essential nutrients on a daily basis, or near daily basis from whole foods. But I sometimes still drink heavily, I still sometimes eat junk food, and I still sometimes PMO.

I think the way I look at it is when I drink alcohol or eat junk food, when I do these things I am not trying to be healthy. But the majority of the time I do want to be getting all of my essential nutrients from whole foods.
