Quitting Smoking: A Tough Road Ahead
Quitting smoking has been a real struggle for me. After work yesterday, I got gas, had my glasses fixed, and went food shopping. By the time I got home, I felt shaky, dizzy, and like I was going to vomit.
I’ve been smoking since before I could drive and was up to two packs a day. A few years ago, I switched to Juuls, which helped, but now I’m trying to quit completely. The problem? I think I cut back too fast instead of giving my body more time to adjust. I did end up buying a 4-pack of pods yesterday, but I’m still determined to quit smoking for good.
Streaming Frustrations and Setup Issues
Since I wasn’t feeling well enough to stream, I spent some time trying to get StreamElements SE.Live multicasting to work. It was a disaster.
- Kick stream descriptions wouldn’t populate, meaning I couldn’t save them.
- YouTube wouldn’t connect at all.
- Twitch was flaky at best.
YouTube’s issue might be on their end, but after all the frustration, I’ve given up on SE.Live and am now switching to Aitum for a better streaming experience.
Streaming Improvements and Quitting Smoking Motivation
I also worked on improving our stream settings. One of our users noticed that we were only running at 790 bitrate, so I bumped that up and made a few other tweaks. It’s a work in progress, so we’ll keep tweaking as we go.
Tonight, we’re going live to see how the new settings hold up. At the same time, I’m using streaming as a distraction to help with quitting smoking—keeping busy helps fight the cravings.
Looking forward to testing everything out—see you on stream!
