what's the /x/ way to conquer alcoholism? or just addiction in general? I'm not physically addicted to alcohol, but when I drink heavily it's the only time I actually feel ok with the state of reality itself.
>>43070859Stop being a pussy faggot. Only pussy faggots feel like they have balls when they drink. Or turn yourself into a tranny kek
>>43070859Stop gooning, stop consuming porn (any kind, in the widest sense, no exceptions), stop fantasizing about anything sexual or about any sort of low effort happiness or instant gratification pleasure at all.Once you manage to conquer lust, your mind will have become so disciplined in the process that dropping any sort of substance (or overindulgence) addiction will be an absolutely trivial thing.
>>43070859just shift to a state where you were never that person.the idea you need alcohol to cope with existence is an illusion in itself, you think you need it to feel normal because you believe you do and justify it consistently with thoughts and actions.
Magick
I stopped a month ago after two years straight of knocking my ass out every night. No more booze but reality is still too boring to be in normal consciousness 24/7 so I just switched to kratom, raw kratom. One loose tablespoon of the green stuff every three days is enough to keep me from the edge.
>>43070869>just no fap while you're drunk you're retarded>>43070859dont listen to retards. focus on gratitude. through the day, when you feel yourself being angry stop and express gratitude for something you have.
>>43070859I guess that means the state of reality is at fault then. Might be time to put a neat hole through it.
>>43070859Switch to tobacco to relax the mind
>>43070859you mean the thing thats consumed to be okay with a shit life is doing its thing?
>>43070859unironically meditation
>>43070859What bothers you about the state of reality? I often hate this world too but i have never been drunk, but i know i have the genetics for being an alcholic.
>>43070859I prayed over it and ate 10 grams of shrooms then 5 grams twice more a few weeks apartI couldn’t imagine drinking again and it was my favorite addiction
>>43070859daily exercise, a healthy diet, and regular sleep
>>43070859Smoke weed instead It’s much healthier
I just stopped doing it one day
>>43070859Can't you just decide I have had enough alcohol for the day, your problem is lack of self control not alcohol
>>43076883do you not understand what an "addiction" is? If OP wasn't addicted, then sure, you just stop. The DEFINITION OF ADDICTION is that you cannot control yourself. You need medical or psychological intervention.
Literally just willpower.The foundation of anything.
Everything anyone ever does is trying to fill at least one of 6 needs:CertaintyVarietySignificanceConnectionGrowthContributionIdentify which you of these needs you're trying to meet with alcohol, then find a substitute that meets those same needs. Swap one for the other.>how is this /x/ relatedstop looking for the easy way. nothing of value is gained without effort.
>>43077006>human hands literally have a mind of their own and force the bottle to your mouthidiots like you are part of the reason this society is so fucked up
>>43077006What a loser take. No willpower. Self deprecatingYou need medicalization got! It’s not a character issue! Meds! Identity complexes!Eat shit deadbeat.
>>43070859Quit with us today. Abstain from alcohol and masturbation anons, together. Join together in this hood season and make the changes you wish to seek come to fruition. See:>>43076476Taper down, limit your days you allow yourself to drink, replace drinking with a sweet treat, the sugar helps with withdrawals, as alcohol becomes sugar. Find a new thing to focus on instead of drinking, a tabletop game, a fantasy world, a crafting hobby, a subject to study. Replace it with another drink. Kava and tea is great for this, relaxes and soothes like alcohol, but is not the poison that alcohol is. If you can’t stop, don’t let your failures be excuses to drink more, accept them, be okay with drinking LESS instead of NOTHING or MORE.
>>43070859Is that Werner Herzog? Where's is this from?
nigga shut up
Alcohol doesn't work on me anymore. My body gets drunk but the observer stays completely sober, which completely harshes the whole vibe
>>43070859in order to live perfectly in your society one requires mental illness. this can be chemically induced in order simulate the mentally ill response that your insane society expects, albeit in an often highly exaggerated form. the only way to fight alcohol addiction is to admit that what you really want is for god to love you.https://www.brighteon.com/d2d80db5-a9f0-4c87-a89a-af9ccd961e52
>>43070869no, this does not work for everyone. i am completely chaste and have mostly conquered lust yet i still struggle with nicotine kratom and ketamine.
>>43070859Time to take the beer goggles off and accept reality as it is.It's been said the best way to deal with the darkness of the world is to deal with the darkness in yourself. Shadow work.Avoid the dry drunk downsides by investing in activities and hobbies. Fitness helps. Become attuned to what light exists in the world, and encourage it. Become comfy in the face of consumerism and apathy.Best of luck.
>>43070859Run miles daily. Ya brain is lacking plumbing so it is malfunctioning. Run miles and grow ya head some blood plumbing ya dummy.Look up endurance athlete brains, then look at the sedentary brain, the vasculature specifically.
>>43077623Fucking retard learn English
Ez, replace it it another addiction and ignore the root cause. So for example if you're a narcissistic stalker that likes to drug and rape people you start fucking kids and dogs instead.
>>43077039>>43077046you're fucking retarded
>>43078286It's the logical distillation of what you're saying. People literally can't control what their hands do. Makes you wonder why murderers and rapists don't use that at trial? Maybe because it's laughable bullshit??Your honor, muh dik made a mistake. I said NO NO NO! but it took over my body anyway, just like alcoholics and junkies can't stop their hands.
>>43070859Meditation. Whenever you want a beer set a timer only 15 minutes, sit upright and stare at the wall or close your eyes in silence. Count your breaths. If after those 15 minutes you still want a beer grab it.
>>43070859>conquerWhat? Alcohol when used wisely is one path to divinity. Just practice some self-control and drink in moderation.
>>43078286No limpdick. You are seeking to medicalize what is a moral issue and give the guy some victim/inferiority complex. Make him dependent and avoid responsibility. Are you a woman?All you did was repeat a fucking sales pitch for big pharmaceutical and AA. Kill yourself.
>>43077547I've been physically addicted to kratom for 5 years, however I have recently drastically reduced my daily amount. It hurts. It really does. Withdrawal is a bitch. Some are lucky to not have them but I experience the full gamut: RLS, cold sweats, anxiety, anhedonia, muscle spasms, insomnia, irritability, etc. I've been using agmatine sulfate and magnesium to help quell the restless legs (imo the absolute worst withdrawal effect) but nothing is perfect. I have found that high intensity exercise is the best way to soothe the withdrawals. Hiking has been the best thing for me.I tell people that even though I'm horribly addicted to kratom, it has helped me tremendously. I was able to consolidate about 5 different chemical addictions by switching to kratom. Not the healthiest option but fuck it I don't want to be sober.
>>43077006That's not real. You're just a stupid pussy bitch
>>43077223Yeah that's called tolerance. And "tHe ObSeRvEr" isn't quite as objective as it thinks it is
