Wow, first of all thanks for your awesome reply @movingman! It's a shame more people didn't take the time to write out such a thoughtful response.
I don't know about any saunas in the area, but there are some natural hot springs outside of the city. A bit of a drive but no membership fees ;)
I think you nailed it though about our stress relief tendencies actually being more stress inducing. The information overload clouds clear thinking and creates a mental fog that can seem crippling. Maybe meditation can help?
I do run, but I'm out of practice. I do miss it though. On top of feeling good after a nice run, it's a great way to get outside and get some direct sunlight, which is supposed to be good for sleep as well. I was a smoker but kicked the habit years ago. I need to quit drinking though, or at least cut back and delegate it to weekends only.
I appreciate the love and attention! Good luck with your quest to stop tabacco.. what helped me was focusing on how crappy I felt in the mornings etc. while I was reaching for a cigarette. Most of the time it was enough for me to say "I might want that cigarette now.. but I don't want to feel like shit later.."

Hot springs?! What ya waiting for! Are you in USA?
Meditation would certainly help definatly, old wise ekhart is a good one for the non spiritual approach.. Ok.. A book, its on pootube if your nor into reading, The Power Of Now.. Link this with meditation and your laughin 😁
The nicotine problem for me is smoking spliffs that contain tobaco 😖
Might try the chewinggums with nicotine in them and I have a vape here for weed. Running is cool though especially when you relise your fitter than you thought! Its well quiet on here atm, are you on discord?

In the states, we usually don't add tobacco to joints. 😎
I'm not on discord, but I have heard a lot of people mention it on this platform. Am I missing out?
