Leaving behind degeneracy

I was an alcoholic for 2 years straight. 7+ drinks of liqour a night, and for no real good reason. Then I coughed up blood one morning and that was it. I became mortified about my health, and became disgusted and disappointed at myself. I'm a young, relatively attractive dude surrounded by people who love me and I was destroying myself because I liked playing video games drunk and euphoric.

Stupid fucking stupid. Went sober cold turkey and I've been that way now for 6 months.

You're going to like having a clear head. I wake up refreshed and full of energy. My thoughts are in order, and my brain is functioning on a level I didn't remember was possible. My social life has improved, my finances have gone through the roof, and my body thanks and rewards me every day for quitting

It's going to be rough man, but see it as a challenge. Conqueror your demons like a fucking man. It is only then that you can truly grow

I used to sell weed and smoke about an o a week until I got arrested.
God bless the Irish justice system because it got struck out.
I quit weed quit my job stopped selling got a new job quit that got a new one again now I get paid well life's going well.
haven't ate junk in 2 months now eating right eating clean and have my diabetes under control and am finally starting to put on weight :)
still autistic as fuck though.

I've been hitting really high productivity levels and feel much better as a whole since I resolved to stop fapping daily and to start scheduling out my days. I'm a solid student and can do decently well without much effort but I'm sick of seeing myself as wasted potential. Now I have started to get all my work done correctly and on time, got a raise at work, and now have time for fun since I'm not wasting hours and hours on here or just sitting around. Hopefully I will make it friends.

Most alcoholics are severely deficient in vitamin B, and also D and C to a degree. Many doctors megadose those during the withdrawal process because your brain and body desperately need it... has increased sobriety success rate too. Look up wet brain for a good idea of what alcohol does to your body's ability to absorb vitamins. Also alcohol pretty much neutralizes testosterone. Explains the wasted workouts and bitch nipples.

I tried to steer my alcoholism into a better relationship. It's my only vice left. Quit dipping. Quit being a fat fuck. Started running and working out. Can't seem to stop drinking. I have cut way back to only 1 beer a night with a day every now and then of no alcohol. Shit sucks.

I understand what he's getting at, but slippery slope is not an argument. You're not going to shoot heroin into your eyeballs if you get prescribed Oxycodone for a broken leg, you're not going to get fat from eating a big bowl of sugary cereal on your birthday. Problems arise from consistent indulgence, occasional indulgence is fine.

remember when the withdrawls come, it will only last about a week. The worst of it. Stock up on camamil tea, maybe order some kava..

Power through. You can expect at the worst time, panic attacks, primal fear and insomnia..

But remember this your bodys way of punishing you for the abuse. Get through the rough parts, your mind and body will reward you with clarity and balance.

Exercise -

>>40647792
I've come to realize that most of my addiction lies in having something to drink in my hand. My problem was finding something that's not bad for you. If I wasn't downing beer after beer, I was drinking a gallon of random soda. I can drink water, but it just gets bland after a while. At the moment, I think I have found my savior. Right now, I drink about a gallon of sparkling water with a lemon twist. I'm pretty sure there are no drawbacks to it, and it tastes great.

>>40647911
this is too extreme. The point of life is balance. Keep on your diet 95% of the time. This is your life style, it is normal, it is just the way it is.

The other 5% occasions, going out, whatever its such a small part of your life it will make no different at all..

A loving and supportive GF forces you to be better and fix everything, I tell ye

>>40648107
weaning off of any addiction is recommended. You do not have to put your self through the torture of cold turkey withdrawal..

But you have to be real with yourself. Are you going to set a schedule and keep to it.

for example - First find the dose you can take so you wont feel like shit. Not get high or drunk or even buzzed - just not feel like shit, feel ok is the goal..

Every 3-4 days at the same time, stay within an hour or two, lower your dose. If its alcohol, 1/2 a beer less, if its pills a 1/4 less.. Stick with this till you are down to nothing..

It really makes quiting so much easier, but you have to want it..

I was a meth head for four years. Started with weed, then pills(opiates, xannies, uppers), then coke and eventually the meth. I didn't get out totally okay either, I now have schizophrenia.

I quit because things weren't making sense and I said one day that doing this the rest of my life wasn't worth ending up like some of the people I was hanging out with.

Dealing with my stuff anymore is okay, but at first it was awful.

My tip is, keep going. Stay clean and do your best not to fuck up. Spending all that money, time and all that doing all the shit is not worth it in the end. You'll look back two years later and say, "Damn, that was me?" We're all gonna make brahs.

I'm still struggling with my anorexia. I still don't quite understand what was going on in my head but three years ago something snapped and I starved myself down to 100lb at 5'8 before I realised what the fuck I was doing.

I started eating more and lifting about a year ago, weight has gone up a lot, but food still feels sinful. Also I still feel fat. I feel so much better though, and I hope over time I will overcome this sickness. Stay strong brothers.

>>40647954
Agree and disagree. Sure it'd important to keep balance but up to a certain point you have to grow up and harden up and remove any weakness from your body. When you do so,you find that getting stronger is more enjoyable then short term gratification.

>>40653038

The brain takes several years to return to a healthy state after chronic alcohol abuse. Entirely possible, though, thanks to neuroplasticity.

Most of the people I've known in recovery have told me it takes several months before their mind returns to "normal." Don't lose hope, anon.

All or nothing is much harder to stick to than being able to enjoy things in moderation.

I was never really addicted to booze. My dad was a pathetic drunk, so booze just didn't seem that great to me. I will drink every now and then, but I can't get my self to be wasted. The same goes for weed. It was fun smoking weed when I was younger, but now that I'm older, weed just seems kinda like waste of time/money.

My problem is that I'm addicted to porn. I enjoy watching those POV/JOI type videos because there more personal. Like its almost like the girl is there and she talking dirty to you. I'm a lonely guy in his 20's thats never had a gf, so those women in the porn give me a connection (I know beta AF).

I'm trying to stop watching porn in general because I've read a lot of bad things that happen to people who get completely hooked on it.

Its been 12 days since I jerked off, but its only been like 12 hrs since I watched porn.

Got any tips?

>>40654507
>watching porn and not jerking off
Dane Cook? Tell me about wolf dick!

No but really, if you stop watching porn you aren't suddenly going to get a GF. Nothing happens with girls unless you make it happen, you don't need to stop watching porn or jerking off (maybe cut back 1/day). What you need to do is go outside and meet people.

Alcohol is really just a shitty alternative to all the vastly superior drugs out there that normies fall to because it's socially acceptable to drink what is essentially poison to the human body.

If you enjoy being on drugs then put in some work to get a hold of something that is less damaging and provides a better high. Resorting to alcohol to acquire a high is really the mark of someone who is pathetically tied down by their situation.

i used heroin and tried to maintain my life for many years. i have a job and work out, i've always tried so hard to maintain the addiction and my other habits, but after 6 years i've kicked it, it's been 62 days and i'm never looking back. good luck OP. it is degenerate. kick it and never look back. people who don't have addiction problems will say shit like
>just do it in moderation

nah. never again.

>>40651342
dude this is seriously the worst idea ever. this mentality is the first step towards addiction. don't listen to people who tell you it's possible in moderation. it's possible for some people, and for others it leads to years of lying, stealing, crying, pain, real real pain, loss of loved ones, loss of jobs, girlfriends, wives, houses. some people use in moderation and walk away unscathed, yes. that's like saying you played russian roulette and survived. there is no reward for playing, NONE. why would you want to risk it. it's not worth it bro. i wish i could give the memories of my hardships and losses to other people so they can truly understand that it's not worth it.

>>40654948
There's no lasting reward for using drugs, I agree. The point I'm making is that when you use drugs you feel a sense of instant gratification and relief, very similarly to food. There's no benefit to overeating, but people still do it because it makes them feel good.

>>40654992
i understand that, that's the danger of it. i speak dramatically only because of what i've slogged through in my life because of drug use. if i quit years before, i would have a different outlook. but burying half a dozen friends from highschool, losing a house, a job, a fiancee, those things sting a little. and i lost them specifically because at the time the drug WAS worth all of it. but i'm vehemently antidrug now due to my own personal experiences, i'm aware of how they /can/ be used, but i'm biased. the only drugs i don't regret doing are hallucinogens, specifically DMT, LSD, and psilocybin.

>>40655042
I've had experiences with every category of drug, and I was "addicted" to weed for 5 years (g/day). Whenever I could get my hands on drugs I would use them in addictive patterns, but I never actively looked for anything besides weed after I would run out. For instance, I bought a tub of k-pins from one of my old highschool friends and must've eaten a hundred of them before I ran out, but when I swallowed the last one I never even thought to look for someone who could deal them. Similarly whenever I got prescriptions for opiates I'd work through the 30-day supply in a week, but I never felt the urge to go out and buy more. I used to drink like a fish until the bottle ran out, but once it did I would go without for weeks.

The reason I smoked weed wasn't because I felt like I needed it, I just found it fun to do every day and never saw any negative effects. I wouldn't have stopped if I didn't need to get a job, and I'll definitely be smoking again when I move to a legal state or it becomes federally legalized.

I know hard drugs are a lot different than weed and I got lucky by having a fairly benign drug of choice. In principle I'm anti-drug, but I think we need to reclassify what a drug is and stop incarcerating people for drug offenses. Addicts need help, not prison. Yeah, throw them in jail for two weeks to detox and require a program but don't give them a ten year sentence in federal prison for it.

>>40654992
>caffeine is a drug
Kek. No, don't listen to everything Oprah and those fat bitches on the View tell you.

Ya i have a tip. You dont have to stop jerking off, you just have to stop watching porn. Its legit impossible for most people to nut everyday witgout porn, so your jerking off will decrease as well. But you problem isnt the negative health effects of nutting too often, its the psychological effects of porn addiction. Look at yourbrainonporn.com. it seems like momscience at first but its helped people. Give it a shot

i'm working on leaving degeneracy behind too. used to drink a lot and take tons of drugs. find sketchy guys online for anonymous sex, most of them were married. lazy, fat, and an overall piece of shit. no job, dropped out of college.

now i have a job, i'm down to 125lbs, in college again. don't use drugs (except weed obviously) and rarely drink. don't meet randoms for sex, and practice safe sex.

still have a long way to go. i'm not really fit atm, just skinny af. still kinda lazy. life is still a struggle a lot of the time. but i'm making good progress :)

Former alcoholic, haven't had a drink since December sometime, also took lots and lots of opiates on the rare days I wasn't drinking, it's a shitty excuse but I did all this to mask the pain from a pretty fucked up back injury. I'm clean of everything except this gay ass vape I use with low nicotine in it, lifting 5 times a week again and building enough stability in my back pretty quickly to get back to moving decent weights. I used to be pretty fit it's amazing how far I let myself fall, never again, we are all gonna make it boys, give up the vice and pick up the iron.

I'm here to get fit, mostly.

>>40648058
I'd guess the natty limit would vary a lot from person to person... I wouldn't mind having the body from the last pic though.

I don'd drink daily but once a month I meet my friends and we drink around 3-5l in beer equivalent and lately the hangover is literally killing me I can't do anything till late noon and I get drunk very fast and do embarassing things. Turning 28 next week. The bad thing is I don't want to quit alcohol cold turkey I just want to drink my two beers or a bottle of wine and stop. But when I drink one beer I always end up drunk.

Quit drinking mid January. Feeling a lot better already. Still consume weed, but that's mostly cbd stuff for sleeping and muscle soreness.

>>40647460
I dont drink one month a year just to prove to myself I can easily do without. Rest of the year I drink reasonably with the occasional binge.

People think I'm nuts when I'm in that month.

>>40658398
Why don't you just drink less?

>>40658796
I can't stop. I think that maybe something fun will happen too.

If you're going out you can try limiting the amount of money you bring with. Not only to prevent you from splurging because of your diminished inhibitions, but also to put you in the right mindset. Every time you pull your wallet you will be reminded. Telling your friends might be an idae too

>>40658830
Just take a step back, go to the bathroom at a point sooner than you normally stop, sit down and ask yourself if you're done.

More often than not my answer was yes.

The longer you abstain the better the relapse feels.

Imagine how high you'll get after you don't smoke for a month.

Imagine how little beer you'll need to get buzzed after a couple weeks of sobriety.

:)

I used to smoke a half ounce of weed a month. Did this from 16-19.
Quit weed over a year ago.

I dont smoke, drink, or do any sort of drugs. I dont even drink coffee or soda.

I take steroids at 250mg a week of testoserone. I dont consider this degeneracy because it makes me a more complete version of my self.
I have autism and never plan on having kids so its ok.

You know this whole place is cancer and memes but then a thread like this pops up and reminds me why I keep coming back. Thanks guys.

2 months sober here. Picked up cigs again sucks but I'll drop them when I run out. I have the mouth fedora just haven't fucked with it

>>40647460
Man you should see a doctor though, alcohol withdrawals can be extremely rough on the body to the point of death

>>40646375
Hey potato, you a type 1? Had it for almost 20 years, diagnosed at 2. Was a model diabetic until about 12 years old. Only in the last couple of years have I really taken back control.

Just came back from my endocrinologist yesterday and gained more weight then I have in a long time, getting /fit/ and it feels so good.

A Q a week? a gram a day?
Oh no, what an addict.

Grow up you faggot.

>>40659024
Vaping a gram a day is actually pretty difficult.

It's like 5-6 hours of smoking.

>tfw you own a brewery and you.know quitting beer would make life easier

I try and keep it under 30 ounces of beer in various stages and I've cut out all alcohol but rum. I've found it better to become a snob and only buy fancy stuff makes it harder to sit down and pound a fifth

Just hit the two week sobriety of ciggies and booze, after drinking around 6 gallons of beer a week, and chain smoking with beer lungs.

Feels good not spending 50$ at a bar, not wasting a day being hungover, and slowly getting my life in tune again.

Walking past the beer isles when getting groceries, and declining offers to hang out with people at night is no bueno still.
Everyone thinks I'm doing this to train for a Spartan Race at the end of May, and that I'll get back to boozing when it's over. Praying I don't slip back into bad habits.

>>40659228
A good way to go out and not blow everything is to only bring 20$, your id and your phone. Assuming you can uber, it's all on your phone and that way when your out, you're out and no way to get more money.

>>40659275
That's good advice. I used to do that freshman year, but completely forgot about it till you mentioned it. Best part is I won't be drunk enough to lose my id and train pass, and too broke to afford missing the last train (meaning staying drinking until 6am)

>>40654507
I feel this bro. Honestly porn/wacking it is way more difficult for me to get over compared to substances. Managing a day without beating off is considered a major accomplishment for me.

You guys both are correct. ADHD is real; imagine not even being able to comprehend a simple sentence due to your mind being scrambled.

However, pills I agree is not the answer. Neuroplasticity is real, so rather than gulping pills 2-3 times a day for the rest of your life, force your brain to focus and little by little (it may take years) your focus should increase.

Well, I'm a long time smoker myself(+social drinker).

Tomorrow I turn 20, so I've planned to do as follows:
>today thoroughly clean the house and try to get rid of some of the smoke smell + quit smoking
>from tomorrow onwards stick to my routine(just hygiene, sleeping schedule etc, nothing big)
>20 March(Monday) - introduce a studying routine(both for uni and for leisure) + put my diet in order
>27 March(Monday) - start hitting the gym, no excuses

So help me God. Godspeed to other anons as well.

i know you guys think it doesnt compare but I'm trying to leave vidya behind.

I just bought a new laptop and it was a fucking hard decision to not buy one with a stronger video card.

But I did it, now I can't play games that are still played online because the performance is bad. Shit is restricted to single player.

Now I gotta start scheduling it to not fuck away hours a day. I still can't do that part tho.

Its not important why I started drinking, just that I did, and it got real bad, real fast. Like a liter of vodka in 24 hours bad. I was Nicholas Cage from that movie about a guy drinking himself to death bad, at 29 years of age.

I'm half a year sober.

I'd be dead if not for medical help. They pumped like 20 banana bags in my veins, and after that gave me a week of librium to get me through the DT's.

Brehs, it was hell. At the end of it, my skin was dry and cracked, face and abdomen swollen. My heart was pumping 130 a minute, all day, with blood pressure of 160/100 at the least. Its surprising I didn't stroke out. Took two months just to start feeling human again.

Now at the half year mark my bp is 115/60, heart rate 60-70, liver mostly recovered, pancreas no longer swollen. They took a heart echo and said there's no damage they could find. I look like a different person. The doctor is amazed, in fact. I think I have enough confidence now to go back to the gym very soon. Its been far too long, but I simply wasn't strong enough until recently, as well as concentrating on getting my finances in order.

Look, if I could turn it around, anyone who's still breathing and not dying of cancer or cirhossis can, too. Also, there are people you can reach out to that will help. Do it, it might save your life.

Thanks for sharing. I've worried about fatty liver, wet brain, permanent imbalances and stuff. Nice to hear that you went full throttle and your body still healed. Also, I'm sorry you had to go through whatever caused you to hit the bottle like that.

sometimes i sit down and realize, ive used drugs pretty much every day for the last 4 years. im 22. im so used to using by the end of the day that without it i feel miserable. i need to stop. im also addicted to masturbation. on day 2 of nofap. really dont know how long im gonna last with that one

Currently struggling to get out of the habit of smoking weed 24/7. I've made it to waiting before bed, but my addict brain will find a way to make a special occasion/excuse out of anything (friends are over, stressful day at work, basically anything. It's made worse by the fact that the munchies and the feelings that smoking brings out in me trigger an ungodly urge to binge-eat until I feel like shit. I used to be a fat fuck and much of my /fit/ journey is driven by the goal of leaving that lifestyle as far behind me as possible, but it keeps trying to catch up with me. Not as dark as the other stories on here, but any advice on quitting weed or eating to cope with emotions/psychological conditions would be appreciated.

The hardest part is being in a social environment where it's completely acceptable to be a pothead, if not expected/encouraged (musicianfag here), and it feels even worse knowing that I helped create that for myself by pushing it onto my friends when I got hooked. But if I got them into that life, maybe I can get them out if I clean up my own shit first.

On a positive note though, it's been a year since I cut out soda/sugary drinks in general, and the progress I've made from that alone looks and feels better than any can of Coke could ever taste.

Say hi to Patrycja from me.

>>40646218
Does eating garbage/junk food count?

>got rid of everything unhealthy in the house
>cookies, chips, soda the whole lot
>mad cravings for the last month
>and then suddenly it stopped

I'm still hungry all the time, but that's because I went hard on the "stop eating" part. Cut down to 1-2 meals a day, only eat healthy sandwhiches during the day (inb4 >bread) and infinite variations of chicken, rice, onions and spices at night.

Eventually when I get my money sorted out i'll be branching out and cooking all sorts of shit for myself, but right now I'm feeling fucking fantastic. My buddies still eat garbage and do next to no exercise and they're sitting at easily 100kg+, I'm down 2kg in the last few weeks and putting on muscle at the same time. Less fat on my chest and stomach, looked in the window of a shop while getting food today and noticed how much fat I've actually lost over the last few weeks, it was insane.

>>40654507
I think a big motivator for me was when I read somewhere on 4chan about porn being an addiction and I just tried stopping it to prove them wrong. I literally lasted maybe 2 days and it fucking scared the shit out of me.
I've been trying to stop watching it on and off for close to a year now, but so far I haven't been able to. I'm about 14 days or so in now (started a few days before Lent and gave up jacking and porn for Lent) which is my longest streak and I really hope I can keep the motivation to just never do it again.

>>40654930
>It feels REALLY good.
that's not a good enough reason to destroy your life. If you think it is, then there's honestly no hope for you

>>40647917
You can still smoke, just don't eat shit food while youre high, I guarantee you'll enjoy an apple or an orange way more than a bag of doritos when you're high

What counts as a degenerate activity /fit/?

Drug/alcohol abuse obviously
Vidya?
Porn?

>>40664313
In the context of self-improvement, I would say any overindulgence of a vice or habit that is detrimental to your well-being or counterproductive to one's personal goals, with or without an added social stigma of whatever sort.

>>40664123
I don't think it is, that's why I don't do hard drugs.

There are people who do, and there are people who do.

>>40664313
>>40664447
This. Everything in MODERATION. I only see degeneracy as letting your vices control you instead of the other way around. Be balanced, enjoy life's pleasures only to the point you believe is healthy. The only one who can decide where that point is is yourself.
