Life is precious /b/. Kick the addiction, get off of this shitty

You madem y day /b/ro. No more weed and marathons of pokemon LPs....

I'm gonna stick with 4chan, but I'm gonna start studying more...

>>596565494
Do it man. If you're serious, take the steps needed. Get rid of the substances, hide them, give them to a friend. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about Dota, or League, or Hearthstone, or anything else. It's all gone from my computer and I plan on never re-installing.

>>596565928
I'm addicted to shutting off and watching stupid stuff for days...

Antidepressants don't help that much and weed makes depression worse....

>>596566450
Dude, I'm the same way. It's like a form of extremely comfortable apathy. I fucking hate it. It's all the entertainment from technology we have. Again man, it's a genuine addiction, that's why it feels so good.

>>596566818
it's what fucking american capitalists wants us to do all day

>>596566450
You gotta figure out a way to get away from it. Force yourself away from it and put yourself in the environment of productivity. It's cliche as fuck, but go to the library until you figure out another place you like to work in. Get rich bro, it's easy: All you have to do is put in the hard work. Before I let my addiction sweep me away, I had within a year a 150% stock portfolio.

>>596567062
Hardly man, it's what the corrupt capitalists want you to do all day. A real capitalist, wants you to pursue riches. If you pursue riches, and I pursue riches, we can pursue together, and that creates opportunities for the both of us.

>>596565237
Everything in life is an addiction.

You either don't enjoy doing it or are addicted to it.

Eating is an addiction (even tho that ones a bit more lgit).
Having sex is an addiction as well.
Taking a shower is an addction.

Every thing you do without being forced to is an addiction so what are you gonna do about it, op ?
Live a stoïc life, stop yourself from desiring and living inside your mind only ?

Addictions are life. No addiction, no life.

Get your shit straight.

>>596567243
I don't know man...
I'm 19 and when I think how my entire generation (me included) keeps wasting their time consuming useless shit... Someone gets profit from this...
Maybe though it's just an effect of technology progressing and making stuff easier, including wasting your time

>>596567591
Maybe it is that we got regular access to the internet when we were young but not too young, so we did not learn from a very young age to moderate, as we do with other stuff (>>596567401
like food)

I got signed as a model last year as my lil sister does it and suddenly I was put into situations where confidence and people skills were pretty important. I feel like I faked it until I didn't have to anymore, and now I am like a new person compared to my former self. I look at posts like this and think any of you could make a change if you're willing to, it doesn't take being a model lol but going out there and doing stuff is the only way your situation will be any different. I haven't been on 4chan or /b in a year and it's still here, it's still the same, it always will be so why not go out and do something real

>>596565485

>>596567401
That's a fallacy. Doing heroine and taking a shower are completely different things. Doing something and enjoying it, is different from enjoying something and thereby becoming addicted to it.
>>596567591
I'm 20 bro, I am the generation. This behavior you describe has been inculcated not just through capitalism, but through the generation's feedback into itself. Someone gets profit from us, yes, but someone gets profit in damn near everything you do. And it's not just that wasting time has become easier, it's that it has become more attractive en masse.

I don't give a fuck what you think. I can't prove anything regarding my innocence and nor can you my guilt. Besides, after this thread, and maybe a few more like this, I'm never coming back. Maybe I'll write a book about my addiction and get famous. Who fucking knows? The world is my oyster.

>>596565485
It's easy to think of all the shit you want to do when you're laying in bed at night, because you don't have to do any of it right "now".

Break everything into smaller tasks, then you get the feeling of accomplishment more often.

Do it man. It's all about whatever makes you happy.

>>596567775
The point of my post is to say i have lots of addiction, but live in harmony with them.
Taking life as it comes can save you someday. Maybe not physicaly, but mentaly.

You gonna fight against the world, and life ? You're just a piece of dirt in an infinite universe.

Things will always happen. Maybe happy stuff, maybe sad stuff. But why the HELL would i try to fight against what i appreciate ?

My addictions are part of me and i chose to not think about the cons of those addictions.

Being on PC all day ? Good, i love solitude ! When i feel alone, guess i have my classmates and my family, but no way i let my PC down to spend 12/24 with people... Makes me sick just thinking about it.

Smokin weed ? Cool brah, chill out, foget about the shit you had to do ! Missing money ? Wait to have some, duh. (if you do anything else like steal or prostitute yourself for weed... Sorry to say but you're an immense faggot)


Anyways, until the point i get bored of it and it therefore isn't an addiction anymore, i will never let what i desire down.

>Piece of dirt in an infinite universe
Try the likelyhood of a multiverse. I'm not gunna fight against the world and life. If anything I would fight for it. I understand my insignificance and I embrace it. There is never a day where it isn't in the back of my mind. It is through this insignificance that I understand the granduer of life and this world. You aren't fighting against what you appreciate. It's fighting for a greater appreciation of life. The world is a magnificent place, and there has been few pain that has surpassed my knowledge of the squander of my time. I would much rather read, enhance my body, enhance my mind, than sit on my ass all fucking day and night in front of this high tech fucking brick.

Success is not a triumph but a necessity. There's no mistaking it. You're only rewarded for the risks you're prepared to take. Once out of context, actions become undefined. Any willpower or ambition that is gone to bear is arbitrary. There are no external urgent necessities to justify choices of profession, hobbies, or violence. No force or coercion to render life around. Everything must come from within.

>>596568740
If you're a chick, hell, maybe? I've got a gf that I'm actively trying to work things out with. If she's not willing to do what it takes though - and you're a chick - and live in my area, I'd be willing to try a lil somethin somethin.

>>596565237
Just because you're too pathetic to pace yourself doesn't mean we're all addicted.

>>596569196
Although I agree with a majority of your statements. Success to me is both a triumph and a necessity, but only because I make it so. My success, could be a 75k a year job in the profession I so choose, or it could be making millions in over the next 5 years and retiring. Success is ultimately what you define it to be.

>>596569593
That's good to hear. I would hope everyone here wasn't addicted. Addiction fucking sucks. I wish you the best in whichever endeavors you so desire.

>>596569791
You're a /b/ro

>>596569640
I think that falls under being rewarded for the risks you are prepared to take in following the path to get to where you want to end up. It's actually a quote from a speech, I got it from the start of this song if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RtV3_J8V78

>>596569640
Success has nothing to do with money...

>>596569137
> I would much rather read, enhance my body, enhance my mind

Well what a noble addiction to aim for this goal. I don't, because i know that i won't do it. I know even if i try my personnal addctions will bring me back to MYSELF and not someone i'm faking to be.
This harsh life has taught me one thing : You're not a hero. Don't think you will become one someday. You won't. So i accept the sentence.

I'd rather stay with my weak minded desires rather than fighting against myself.

I just uninstalled league of legends and nearly every 1 of my games from steam library except for civ 5 due to it being a casual thing i only play in holidays

Maybe not for you, no. But for me, as far as I understand myself, it plays a large part. I've grown up poor, and I know that through my hard work, dedication, and risk taking, I can achieve the monetary goals I so desire. Also, nice dubs m8.
>>596570098
Dude, that's fucking awesome to hear. Make sure you watch yourself with that Civ 5 though. It may start casually, but with nothing else to play, it may become something you slowly turn to. Just watch the amount of time you spend.

If you have the time in between your addictions, I'd recommend spending what time you can looking into a philosopher named Nietzsche if you haven't heard of him. Look into his concept the Ubermensch (and I mean his concept, not the concept his cunt of a sister gave to the Nazis). You aren't fighting against yourself brother: You're fighting for yourself.

Sorry man, I wish.

Thankyou, it sounds really fucking homo but I think i did the right thing
i have a serious problem with gaming and I knew i had to stop
i really need to focus on my academics right
Whoever the fag was that told me to uninstall, fucking love u
you turned a mediocre life in to a great one

>>596570588
Nietzsche is good, but if you read a bit he is kind of a fascist (probably misspelled).
His sister was a bitch by the way

any time you enjoyed spending is no lost time

>>596570655
That's because you did do the right thing. I would even recommend uninstalling Civ 5 as well. You don't need it, and relapsing really really fucking sucks. I've done it 3 times and I'm working hard as hell to make sure the last time was the last time. I'm glad I've been able to help and impact in some way. Keep working at it. Keep driving.

>>596570960
Good, man. Now don't reinstall them, no matter how badly you want to play. It will spiral, I promise you. And know too, that if you do spiral, it's not the end, but you have to fight it. Watch yourself, brother.

AAAAAAAAAAAA
Why am I still here?

I'm trying to kick pot and food. I've been smoking weed for over a decade now. It completely controls my life, I can't sleep without it, back pain, tonnes of shit, that and I just recently exceeded 300lbs, Im going to fucking die, been sober for 3 days now, havnt slept once, this is the longest I've gone without toking for many many years, maybe if I can kick pot or at least bring my use way way down, I can focus on losing some weight.

So the fact that I'm about to be promoted, get a 6 dollar pay increase and get about 20 more hours a week means that I don't do grown up things? You mean have responsibilities like bills and rent? Yeah I have all that. What have you done with your life bruh bruh?

>>596571724
Man I don't use as much as you but I too have felt the need for weed...
I was smoking every day, now I only smoke on weekends and I want to reduce it more...
Time is the best doctor for weed adiction I think. The longer you don't smoke the less you don't need it....
I guess this is true for every addiction....
With weed you feel it much quicker though...

>>596571392
So you plan to stay in gamestop until your 70? Good one how about build a career bruv and learn things read books instead of smoking weed and playing games?

Weed has been such a huge part of my life, at my peak, when I was making good money. I would smoke a QP a month. Now I'm down to about an ounce. But it rules me. I enjoy nothing unless I'm high, I don't even cap sober. The worst part of quitting is the insomnia and hot flashes. Also my mind is fucked, anyone who says excessive weed consumption doesn't damage the mind is retarded. I have no memories any more. And I can't make new memories, if I watch a movie today, I forget everything about it by noon tomorrow. I'm constantly losing my keys and wallet. I'm just hoping the damage isn't permanent, and maybe I can get some of my childhood memories back, or at least make new memories

Business management is a career nimrod. I'm on my way to store manager. took me like 4 months to get this promotion. 2 more and I'm a store manager. No I don't plan on being at gamestop till I'm 70 but, now and the next 20 to 30 years are gonna be filled with video games the way technology is going, so if I can either get my foot in the door to managing teams of game sellers, maybe I can manage a team of game testers or game designers. The video game industry is a big one, just as all industries are

Tl;Dr
I like video games and smoking weed makes me deal with people. Video games are gonna be around for a while so why not get in where ya fit in.

Dude, if need be, go to NA, seriously. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING HELP. Getting help is one of the strongest fucking things you can do. You are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Two semesters ago, I was willing to do almost anything to kick my video game addiction. I wish, to this day, for there to be a Video Games Anonymous in my area, but there isn't. Facing yourself with vigor and understanding that you're terrified you'll lose is nothing to be ashamed of.

How would you even allow yourself to get to this point? An ounce per week is so fucking much to smoke, its wasteful, why didnt you just do heroin or something

>>596572540
Yup. Been like that as long as I can remember, but I can't remember, maybe I was always like this? I doubt it though. I've already started remembering a few details I thought where long lost after being sober 3 days. I know I will get better but probably not as good as if I never smoked before

>>596572207
Im not talking of money but by playing games you are the mass controlled by big business. .you are a consumer not a producer..ii know you enjoy it and its good etc but it's better to create a change in the world for the better, through energy yoy wouldve spent creating, rather than consuming..do you catch the drift?

Shrooms are nice, I've smoked crack a few times, but its nasty, weed is just so soothing, I won't touch heroin though. Im already probably going to have a heart attack before I'm 40 anhways , no need to kill myself any faster

Thanks /b/ro means allot. I hope, I'm in Canada so its cold and snowy. But soon as the weather gets nice I'm going to start jogging. I can't get far or run long, but I need to try. I need to do something. Anything is better than smoking weed all day and drinking a 2l of soda in one sitting. I routinely order 5lbs of chicken wings and eat it all at once. I'm done with that now though. I'm not eating only vegetables. But no more slamming back 4 cheeseburgers stoned as fuck at 2am

You make a good point, OP. Thanks for the motivation. I'm going to give it a try.

Adios, my /b/rothers.

>>596573288
Not to be pessimistic, but if that's the case then an hero. The preciousness of life is subjective. My life is precious to me and thus I want what is best for myself. If that is to kick my addiction, than that is what I am going to work towards. My life may mean nothing to you, and that's ok: There is nothing I can do to change that. But I'll tell you something man, your life means something to me, and so do many of the lives here. If I can impact one, then I have done some form of good, no matter how miniscule.

The sad thing is I've been saying I'm going to get better for years now, but I never truly tried. I've taken minor steps but thats it. And now, its too late. My brain is done with its youthful stage where it can absorb and adapt and grow. Its all downhill from here.

The truth is, I dont truly want to be better. Its just my ego pushing me along, trying to get on the same level as my peers. But my true character is a fat, greedy sloth that just wants to lounge around all day.

Just because a brain is no longer useful does not mean it can no longer absorb, adapt, and grow. There are numerous studies that prove this. Do you truly believe the things you're saying about yourself? Do you think that there is any possibility where you could be wrong?

Anyway, I've got shit to take care of. I'm glad I was able to help whomever I could. I'll probably be back /b/ros, but only to make another thread like this. Maybe 1 or 2 more, after that I'm gone.
