Does anyone notice that they're mindless slaves to pleasure?
I've realized that every day of my life is just the strive for anything pleasurable in a beast-like frenzy: I fap until my penis hurts, I do drugs until i'm near the amount where it's no longer pleasurable, i binge-eat until my entire body aches and then just try to escape the real world by simulating feel-good experiences via video games or anime/tv shows/movies.
''That's not that bad!'' you might say, ''Just enjoy it! Everyone's life is like that to some degree''
However, the problem begins when i exhaust all the resources for enjoyment, or when i do it to the point where it's no longer pleasurable. What then? Pathetically wait until i get back to baseline to do it all again? Anyone faced with this?
Try making somthing, or honeing a skill. Just try to discipline yourself and better yourself. Go get a knife and a piece of wood and make a spoon. Look at the spoon, and you'll feel something new. Go accomplish something.
That's called having poor self control
It's something you actually need to put effort into fixing

im trying that everyday by making music and trying to get fit. ive had moderate success in both and know that it feels unlike the short-term pleasures you can quickly use up, but even one small mistake or fuck up in the proccess can just make me say fuck it and stop.
i guess your advice is the way to go tho, and theres not much help i can actually get from anyone here beyond that. thanks

nobody here will give you definitive answers
existing is suffering that's why you turn to drugs to escape it
you'll lose the ability to enjoy things other then direct chemical stimulus
even porn is a super stimulus as scientists call it, you're getting something you're programmed to crave at a click and training yourself to use auto erotica
it all sucks

what im interested in finding out is if there is any way for recovery.
sometimes i just feel like ive tainted my sobriety and natural libido with synthetic stimulation, be it drugs, porn, and so on.
