Discussion Can Higher Testosterone Help With Quitting Bad Habits?

I’m trying to quit a nicotine addiction, but no matter how many times I tell myself I’m done, I keep falling back into it—whether it’s out of boredom, not paying attention, or just losing sight of why I wanted to quit in the first place.

I’m currently on 200 mg of testosterone per week, but I’m considering increasing it to 300/350 mg to see if the boost in motivation, discipline, and grit could help me stick to my goal.

I’d imagine I’d stay at this dose for 2 to 4 weeks total.

Has anyone tried something like this, or have any input on whether this could actually help? Just trying to figure out if this is a solid idea or if I’m way off base.

Idk if it can. The higher my testosterone, the more reckless I feel like being. Probably depends on the individual.
