It's time I take my own medicine and start truly self-reflection maxing. I'm 26, 5'10, newly single from a long 3 years LTR, good remote career grossing $115k-120k. I've been mostly taking a cut seriously, I'm for all intents and purposes a skinny fat, but I have some muscle underneath, down to 162 the other day which is the leanest I've been since college tbh. Goal is around 155. Never seen my abs before in my whole life.

I want to look at my vices for what they are, and either put limits on them, or cut them cold turkey. I think listing them here and asking Miscers to put them in some kind of ranking/order of unhealthyness, I'll try to actually do something about the top 2 or 3 you guys think are the worst for me.

My vices, in no particular order:

-Black & Mildonce or twice a week. When I start a work week, and I join our early meetings, I like to usually have 1 Black & Mild while sitting outside and listening/watching the meeting. I mostly like it for the head-rush it gives you, but also I feel like it helps me to concentrate for a solid 20 minutes afterwards, and puts me in a decent mood for a while. I do actually inhale a good bit of it, which I know you're not really supposed to do for Cigars/Cigarellos. Other than that I might have one during a vacation too while overlooking a cool sight or something.

-Alcohol.When I drink it's never to catch a slight buzz and watch it quickly go away. I'm talking 48 Fl oz of 5%-6% beer, and 200ml of liquor with diet coke, drank in usually under 2-3 hours. I've been good about not drinking on work days. I do track my macros usually when I drink, unless I accept that it's a cheat day. I pretty much drink every day I have off from work, alone, while I play video games or what have you. One thing I've noticed consistently is drinking really seems to be linked to me having breathing issues at night, lots of phlegm built up, it's gross. I do have asthma and they say alcohol makes asthma worse, my issues at night make me agree. Sometimes I'll get heavy munchies/hunger from drinking too. It's rare but sometimes I do have blackout moments from drinking too much. Last time that happened was probably 1 week ago.


-Weed.I vape it or eat it. Every day, including work days, I wake and bake, hit the gym while I'm a little high - makes the gym more tolerable for me and the lifts feel easier. If I ingest too much good bye productivty, and potentially hello anxiety and high heart rate. I don't get munchies from it, I eat only what I plan to eat. I've done weed the vast majority of the year tbh, but I was still able to study and pass a difficult certification exam, proving I can actually balance weed and productivity/life lol. For me it's not as expensive as alcohol.

-Diet Soda.For the last 1.5 decades of my life I've drank diet soda like it's water. Srs. I try to always have a couple of 12 packs of diet soda cans, 2L bottles, etc. It's tricky to say how much I consume but it's probably 10-15 12 Fl oz cans a day if I had to guess. This is a vice I've quit successfully for a few weeks before, and then come back to it cuz why not, didn't feel different while off of it.

- Fapping to pronz daily.Pretty much 1-3 times a day I fap to pronz. I've been doing it about this much for years, including while I was in relationships. Beginning to wonder if this is a bad vice. I think optimally I'd like to just fap once a week, but IDK.

So there you have it misc. Those are my worst vices. What is the order you'd rank them from most to least unhealthy or whatever? Help me realize that I need to stop some of this chit.

Man I aint readin all that sh!t OP the fuk...

I didn't add cliffs, but you can look at the bolded text. I highlighted 5 things at the start of each line, black & mild, alcohol, weed, fap to pronz, and diet soda. I wrote more in the OP if you wanna know how often I do it or what I do with those things. Of those 5 things, can you rank them in order of most unhealthy to least unhealthy, in your opinion?

Diet soda and fap are nothing. Binge drinking followed by daily pot smoking are second. Cigar third. Learn to moderate those three things and you'll be fine.

diet soda is probably the most innocent there

the alcohol and pronz 1-3 times daily is pretty bad, chit is frying your brain. probably followed by the cigars but that is kinda meh if you do it 1-2 a week

Not mirin vices

Don't know what Black & MIld is. Stop fapping to pronz at least most of the time, stop fapping more than once a day, stop weed, buy less soda if you can't stop entirely and keep reducing to zero, and I did not read how much alcohol you drink but do no more than once a week now

dedfknsrs on all points. And then go even harder with cessation in a few weeks as you acclimate, if you can't go cold turkey on everything rn.

lol drunk and/or high every minute of the day. Do you even remember what life is like sober? Try being stone sober for like 2 weeks, it will be hard at first because you've conditioned yourself to drink/smoke to avoid boredom but by day 2 or 3, at least for me, things seem to be pretty awesome and I'm way more productive.

I wouldn't drop both but cut them way, way back.
