Hey guys. There was a thread a few years back that discussed alcohol, caffeine and nicotine as methods of stupefying (narcotizing - if you don't know what means, it's to dull your senses/sensory input intentionally) oneself and I want to bring that back. I was shocked to find this was on the enneagram type 9 forum and common with this type.
I've come to realize that these three have been a part of my life since my teen years. I started drinking coffee at 13, started smoking at 15 (but quit and started and quit and started and quit again), and I've drank since I was 14. For clarification I'm not physically dependent to any of these three despite starting these over a decade ago.
What's your relationship with nicotine, caffeine and alcohol? Furthermore, would quitting all three aid with a type 9's self growth? I am especially keen to hear from those with similar experience.
