it's good to undo any bad habits that you deal with.

You sure showed him, fellow nihilist. MUH FEELINGS, amirite?

I quit doing heroin, started working out, got a job, bought a car, got a gf, got an apartment, bought a puppy, and now I'm saving money and working on career goals.

I don't feel like I've accomplished anything with my life. I don't feel proud of myself. I think I barely deserve to live, much less deserve a pat on the back for doing shit that everyone is supposed to be doing. But I am doing much better now than I once was.

I hit my lowest

Hung out with people worse off than me
Made me realise I didn't have it bad

Then I decided to ditch everyone who kept me down

And I decided just to stop being unhappy

Now every time I feel low I just stop and appreciate what I've got.

To be honest, lifting. It gave me the self confidence and mental fortitude to pursue my goals and reinforced the idea that small daily improvements lead to long term results and habits.

I mean *tips fedora* and all, but it really did help me.

>>40980570
Went to rehab, then a recovery house, started lifting, then did NA meetings for like 3 years and quit all drugs, got a job, went back to school, am about to graduate in 3 weeks. Still feel like a loser because I'm 26 years old no gf in 1.5 years and moved back into my moms house to avoid loans and still haven't found a career job/internship for the summer aside from my wage cuck grocery job, at least I'm not homeless and shooting heroin though.

>>40982312
same situation but i'm 31.. Except swap heroin for opiates and ghb.

Heres a little perspective for you. I have a friend, hes 31 also. Has a place, a woman and a kid and another on the way. He was great shape, big handsome mother fucker.

He has a pain in his shoulder, it get so bad he has to get it checked out..

Stage 3 cancer and it aggressively moving too his back. He needed emergency surgery so he doesn't lose his arm. He is now in the process of fighting for his life and is about to under go severer treatment... This all just happened within a month..

Your life is not so bad anymore is it..

Appreciate your accomplishments and where you are going. I need to do the same myself.

>>40980570
I wrote a list of all the things I needed to do to succeed, then deprived myself of sleep until my stream of consciousness withered away. No emotions, no hedonism, no random intrusive thoughts, just exhaustion to the point my face hurt. Then I let my list guide me.

started a business with my friend

it legit turned me from a depressed directionless dude into someone who thinks more clearly, acts more decisively and feels much better in life.

I have really bad anxiety, but an idgaf attitude. idk how that even happens, when i go to the gym my fat hambeast self just does what i need to do . and ignore onlookers but once i stop and am outside all this shit comes flooding in and im a mess of tears and idk how to deal with it

>>40984046
Me too. Im a beast in the gym but my mind is full of cringy memories and shit that beats me up consistently.

However,i told myself im awesome today and that im in the moment as a mantra in my head, and i had a thoroughly good day for once.

>>40980570
Alright OP, you need help, and it ain't gonna be easy.

First, you got to separate the colors from the whites or they bleed into each other. Then you gotta go through all the junk you've built up and throw some of it out and put the rest in a neat pile. After that it's as simple as making a day planner.

i drink on occassion. i dont drink much in social gatherings. i drink a bit more when im alone, on my alone days i am depressed, today is one of those days, where i have to pretend everything is right when it isnt, my life is close to being in shambles

>>40982312

Got back into lifting and running for health and personal reasons, not to impress anyone like I used to. Fucked around and got over my oneitis who'd had a hold on me for years after our breakup. Cut my drinking with friends down to once every week or two instead of 4 nights a week (college, man). Started working two jobs and refusing any money from my parents, they're generous as all hell and I don't want to coast off them. Made dad proud. Paying all my own bills got me to actually graduate college instead of failing classes due to "depression" which amounted to me being a lazy shut in.
Started cooking more. Reading more. Stopped jerking off as often. Improved my wardrobe. Sold my shitty minivan and got a nice used car. Cleared out all my pack rat bullshit and simplified my life.
Just landed a good job a few states away, moving soon.

>>40984062
I feel you on the cringy memories. I know that I'll never forget them and I constantly feel like a bitch because of it. I guess once I reach my goals maybe the constant nagging in my head will stop

>>40980570
I bought a bike, then I got a new job with 4am starts, I ride the bike everywhere I go now it's so fun, I use most of my paycheck buying nice stuff for it. Then I started to realize if I wanted to go faster I had to start really focussing on myself, so after 12 years I quit smoking cold turkey, then I quit drinking, then I quit eating extremely unhealthy foods.

After I lost the excess weight I started focussing on working on my body more, I'm ok in the legs so I focus on core and upper body workouts.
I do bodyweight training every other day, and ride my bike 60-120 miles every day im not training.

I'm super fucking poor, I'm tired all the time, but fuck do I feel good.
Decided to join the Army too so I've started to throw some jogging in there as well since even though I can ride forever basically, my running is still weak.

>>40980570
i didn't srs i still drink every day and have an amphetamine addiction i just use the amps to fuel my workouts etc

>>40984046
If you are fat and you are in the gym NOONE is looking down on you (except for douchbags, fuck them). What I say to myself to keep me from going full antisocial mode is that EVERYONE has their own insecurities to worry about you

one day i decided to just go do everything that i wanted to do and start building myself as a human being because i was doing nothing and had nothing.

i made the decision to take the first step and start from the ground up, working every day to make myself into who i wanted to be and slowly give up things that were holding me back or wasting my time.

you gotta be willing to sacrifice your time and surrender to the process.

also accepting that you wont always feel happy and perfect, makes you feel a lot more whole and makes life flow better

>>40980570

I didn't, that's why I'm still here.

>>40980570
I think I'll never be fully sorted if I don't leave this place. 4chan is toxic and helpful at the same time.

Got a job and manned the fuck up. First months were terrible cause I am a fat introvert pussy beta but I just withstood and my character changed a lot from that experience. I realized that all the issues I was obsessing over and getting anxious about previously were trivial bullshit. Eventually I developed more of I dont give a fuck attitude, went back to finish my college and got a gf. Granted, I am still fat (less so) but I am way more confident my peers which is easy since I am in IT and everyone is an autist.

I was an egotistical fuck who crashed and burned his life at least 6 times. The last time it happened was due to smoking crystal meth. I prob didn't actually sleep for a year and a half. I now have a wife and kids and I'm 41 with a good job. I don't have an ego problem anymore because when life kicks your ass that fucking bad you kinda stop being proud of your own dumb ass.

Tried college because i thought it would be better than doing nothing and would make my parents and partner happy.
Dropped out of my third 1st semester of college because it made me miserable.
Did 7 months of cognitive behavioral therapy, learned to manage my feels and stop being afraid of living life.
Therapist felt ok letting me go once i started a concerted effort to dig deep to find some kind of purpose in life.
Met someone who made me realize I could be with a person who challenges me to live my higher values and pursue my passions instead of just being with someone out of convenience/because they support me.
Did the futureauthoring program to figure out just what the hell I really wanted out of life.
Now I'm:
>working on a personal training cert so i can have a real job
>selling on etsy lol
>filming myself building art in parks, goes on youtube
>getting my drivers license at 24
>gonna break 6'3 190 by august, 200lbs by my bday in march next year

tl;dr: wasted the opening years of my adult life sitting on the couch, browsing the internet, smoking weed, and playing videogames. Been sorting myself gradually for the last year, and i'm finally doing things with my life. I'm unrecognizable from my high, do-nothing-bitch self from a year+ ago, and it's great.

It started with a bad breakup. Then when I told my dealer that I was stopping he kind of dismissed it and patronized me, which pissed me off. So I was just angry at a lot of people all at once and felt like they thought they were better than me. Which they aren't. Most people are, but not those ones.

Systematically cutting all the bad things out of my life, while also starting to run again and going to the gym every day instead. I went from drinking heavily 3-4 nights a week, selling pills, snorting coke and breaking into cars with my roommates to living on my own, giving all of that stuff up and trying to live a healthier and better life. Everything just got away from me I guess and I sunk super low, and by leaving it all behind, I've started to make it, brahs. You can all do it to.
Surprisingly, coffee was the hardest thing to give up, but this is my first caffeine-clean week and I'm doing fine.

Good for you. You might actually get past the first hard part.

I got autisticly angry one day. Keep in mind I'm 6"1 210 lbs and a workhorse at a shitty warehouse.
Reported them to the this board called the voa(Voice of associates.) shit hit the fan and I threatened hr cause I had a lot of dirt on the ppl who fled me over. All of a sudden I'm being offered all this new training. Managers giving me cookies(declined cause I'm on a cut). Put In the ticket to receive all this new training. Transfer was approved.. not only do I get the training but I won't be working for them anymore. Felt good to get petty revenge.

Umm it's the first step. Drinking alone increases the likelihood of habit forming substance abuse tenfold

All I did today was sit in my bedroom shitpost and listen to music. Thats all I did yesterday and the day before that etc. Virgin no friends manlet

I quit drinking for my physical and social health. I started developing stomach ulcers from heavy consumption. Also I kept revealing my power level to normies and it made them uncomfortable, luckily I've been able to play it off as a joke. When I'm sober I stray away from talking politics unless I'm with close friends.

Honestly life sort of did it for me. I moved out of the house at 17, partied my ass off and went full drug addict mode, went full sober, relapsed, etc. Moved back into parents house at 21 suddenly focused. Got a random job. Got good at it. Got better at it. Got promoted. Did good at new job, did better. Company wants me to go to school. Go to school. Fucking love school for the first time ever, fires off part of brain not touched in over a decade, super focused now. Start lifting. Skinny-fat mode deactivated. Gains being achieved. Work-school-gym-sleep, with a lot of eating is my day, it beats where I was at 19.

Futureauthoring is a writing assignment you do on the internet. You will get results if yourl work at it and are completely honest with yourself. If the price is too much, watch some of Peterson's talks to get you pumped up, and then buy and do futureauthoring anyway. I'm finding it extremely useful and i keep going back to it to write in the things i realize i want out of life.

look up 1-p lsd

went to the doctor for help. he prescribed me naltrexone and now I don't crave alcohol anymore. it's a weird feeling, even if I drink i'm just like "meh" and don't want any more.

it also helps on my cut because not only do I no longer drink 1000 cal of booze a day, but the medication also suppresses my appetite something fierce.

if anyone is struggling ask your doc about it.
