In addition to being an alcoholic Iām a data nerd. So Iām always measuring everything. I use the journal feature of this great app and have started my own Craving Scale within it. Simple 10-point scale recording frequency and perceived level of cravings Iāve had during the day. Today for ex.
ā Craving Scaleā
3 x 3/10
2 x 5/10
One day I imagine going back and reviewing whatās hopefully a downward trend. Who am I kidding. Iāll probably end up graphing it out.
Thatās all I came to say! ODAAT

Iāve already modified it (just now). Total Craving Score(TCS) for today is 3x3 + 2x5 = 19
Did I mention Iām a nerd?

Iām sorryā¦ why is this in seeking help, exactly? Itās nicotine. I vape nicotine while writing on the forum right now. Should all my posts be in seeking help? Should I leave the forum because Iām āunder the influenceā right now? Should every member using nicotine pouches, gums and patches post in seeking help? If nicotine counts as under the fucking influence, then I gotta stop posting, clearly.
Iām sorry, @Dirk , you made a terrible call. Maybe you could stop playing mod for 5 minutes.

@Amy30 tone is not helpful @Dirk was trying to assist
This forum is a safe place for lots, lets try and keep it that way please
Yes, the forum should be a safe place. Here, we have a new member asking for help and they were immediately sent to seeking help for āactively usingā and told talking about active use is not allowed on the forum. Thatās not welcoming and the type of attitude that scares people off.
There are many types of addictions here, including sugar. Should pictures of chocolate go in seeking help?
My tone represents how annoyed I am. This is the type of thing that makes me feel unwelcomed. Whatever you think about nicotine, using pouches is not, by any stretch of the word āunder the influence.ā

Hey Amy,
as the OP is openly discussing moderation I also believe the post belongs into that category. The difference here is about the discussion. Discussing moderation and use can be triggering for some, thatās what the category āSeeking helpā in my opinion is for.

Yes, I have taken crazy pills and woke up in a dystopian hell. Itās nicotine. The op is using it to quit smoking. Itās a cessation tool, not moderation and you successfully scared a new member off. Well done.
By this logic, the coffee thread should be moved here. And the food one, thatās clearly talking about moderation ofā¦ food and sweets.

I moved this part of the discussion to derailment. I feel we all got sidetracked here. @Amy30 If you want to discuss this topic in more detail, please do open a new thread.

Canāt wait for the notification spam when people play with it.
