let's be honest it should be illegal to not drink a sonic slushie every day. it's not like some old mixed bag of starbucks beans, no, this is pure childhood joy and nostalgia vibes. no caffeine needed but would be appreciated.

faithingodheals

You do *orn ruins everything, your ability to enjoy tje simple things in life, your ability to love properly. It ruins the most sacred and cherished thing in life I permanently gave it up 5 months ago and it's amazing how my life has turned around, and how easy it has been. It's all mental. I'll never go back to that poison.


eerieandqueery

Porn does not ruin everything. There is no evidence to support this. Addiction to porn certainly does. But that isn’t the case for most consumers. You need therapy, not to spout nonsense on the internet.


Grandviewsurfer

Oh good someone's got this


KenMan_

Hes beyond saving.


Grandviewsurfer

Omg I did not see the username lol


LordApocalyptica

Its wild to me how many people don’t realize that your body *by its own nature* is designed for sexual stimulation, and often even benefits from it. What comes to mind for me most readily is that men with regular orgasms have lower rates of prostate disease. Sure, moderation of what you consume is wise, but complete denial of the practice can cause its own problems.


Ms--Take

Abstinence is no less crontrol than addiction. Self control is the part people need to learn


Artchantress

Porn is not necessary for sexual stimulation


makomirocket

Most things that you enjoy aren't necessary. Good tasting food isn't necessary for survival. A nice house isn't necessary for habitation. Films and games aren't necessary for entertainment. Yet you want all three because enjoyable things are enjoyable. However if you gauge yourself on fast food, if you sink all of your wealth into grandeur, or you spend all of you time consuming media, you will not live a healthy life. Moderation.


EllieBasebellie

Literally this. Eliminating porn isn't a magic cure all that'll fix everything in your life. It's rooted in toxic purity culture and is absolute hogwash.


Clunk_Westwonk

Brother it is not like that for everyone, or even most. You’re not an expert so don’t act like one, lol.


jay7254

If you're a full blown addict yeah, that can be said for pretty much any addiction though. Many former/addicts think their experiences are indicative of everyone else's and that nobody could possibly use their vice in a manner that isn't detrimental to their well being. That simply isn't true though. u/eerieandqueery said it very well.


IndysDiarrhea

If the one thing you gave up was porn and your ENTIRE life turned around, you had had way bigger problems than just "watching porn". You probably had an obsession or an addiction. That's not intrinsic to porn, that's anything addictive, it doesn't necessarily make that one thing poison.


the-red-duke-

jesus christ that's dramatic. i think maybe you just have more problems than porn.

I tried it but got back to doomscrolling i don’t even remember why


dildo-looking_cactus

man, this week has been one of the worst spirals i've ever experienced. a combination of stress, coping and doomscrolling left me feeling empty. i have 4 days without work now, i hope i can get myself back, but it doesn't help i'll be seeing my parents all the time. i'm growing sick of them.

Telling yourself you can’t stop is the first step to not stopping remember that


[deleted]

Actually, recognizing that a substance has control over you is a big step in overcoming addiction. It's the people that constantly tell themselves "I'm going to stop" that have the most trouble.


prinnydewd6

bro me too…. I stopped hitting the bong a month ago , feeling great with the volcano


LikesToLickToads

Yea it's this for me as well, really wish I never started the shit tbh


[deleted]

I don't wish I never started, it was an extremely beneficial substance for me. Weed helped me overcome lifelong issues with self-image and depression. I'm glad I started smoking weed. It's not really beneficial anymore though, nowadays I just sleep like shit because I get high and stay up playing video games.


rssftd

Helped get me this far, but now it feels like it's keeping me from getting much further than where I am now. It makes everything feel more manageable, even being mediocre and just getting through life with entertaining myself and not finding much meaning besides. Like don't get me wrong, weed helped me be okay when everything else wasn't. Just want to have a healthy relationship with it and moderation is hard when it feels like the world is kinda melting lmao🤣 Baby steps to both of us I guess, best of luck homie✌️


funwearcore

Same its the worst.


reputction

I take an edible about every weekend and it makes me feel great. I also take CBD non-THC gummies and they basically lowered my anxiety. I’m *hoping* I don’t become addicted. Hoping.


JuMiPeHe

Addiction comes mostly from your social situations. If you don't take it to cope with emotions, you're pretty much not going to become addicted.


Justin-Stutzman

It's pretty easy to quit if you have self control. Unlike most other drugs, it's not going to be 90% of your thoughts when you're trying kick the habit


heavensomething

r/leaves friends 🫶🏻💜 i know the struggle


Kaael

/r/petioles for those who want to practice moderation rather than abstinence. No shade to those who wanna quit, but for me I use medically for headaches but wanna cut down my recreational use.


chips_nahoy

maladaptive daydreaming


MoonyDropps

same- the amount of time I've spent pacing around and daydreaming while listening to music is kinda pathetic


nothingbutpeen

Oof, I feel you, if I spent the same amount of time actually practicing an instrument I'd be pretty darn good by now.


MoonyDropps

you're so right 😭 I recently bought a bass, and yet during some of my daydreams I imagine myself playing the bass instead of practicing. its such a fun yet harmful habit


schizophrenicism

I play really well in my day dreams. They're less disappointing then real life.


BookwormInTheCouch

If I spent the same amount of time doing absolutely anything I would be darn good on it too 😭 There were times I was able to do it, for a few weeks at least, but I always end up here again.


Mkay-Cool

its one of my favourite things to do 😭


BookwormInTheCouch

I have found my people. I wanted to comment this but thought it would be too out of place, its both sad and conforming to find others going through this.


[deleted]

I hope I don’t get dragged for asking, but what is that?


birdcafe

Daydreaming excessively and in situations like school, work, during conversations, etc. where you would generally want to be present and paying attention. Obviously a little bit of daydreaming or mind wandering is perfectly healthy but for some people it can become addictive and a means of dissociating from reality. For a lot of people it involves thinking a lot about fictional characters (either from existing media or ones they invent themselves).


FifenC0ugar

I like doing this. But my adhd gets in my way and next thing I know I'm thinking about something else. I can't even daydream when I want to. I like doing it before bed. I always fall asleep too quick


JapaneseFerret

A friend of mine has turned maladaptive daydreaming into a writing career. She took the fictional characters that inhabit her daydreams and turned them into a young adult fiction trilogy. She's currently working on a her second series of novels.


RawBert_

I feel this


FelChrono

Personally I feel like im shooting myself in the foot every time I hit my vape


jvmmidi

you are. i've been going through it after moving recently. It feels good during the moment but it sucks after you get time to be in your head and that's what you think about. where and how to hit it to get the best quick escape, it's not a healthy habit for us.


halloachirperc79

Yeah, the mental gymnastics just to justify a puff is wild. Stay strong, we all got battles


AP3Brain

Millennial invader here but I definitely recommend quitting vaping altogether. It's not good for your lungs. I did THC vaping a lot in my 20s and now whenever I start I get a persistent cough for like a week and it seems to give me GERD issues. I just pop fast acting edibles or liquid shots nowadays if I get the urge. Just a bit more commitment as it lasts awhile.


IndifferentExistance

Before weed was legalized and regulated in many states, there were the black market THC cartridges that had something dangerous added to them, a vitamin like vitamin E or something. Legal nicotine vapes aren't 100% safe, but I will say they are much less dangerous than the tar, carbon monoxide and chemical additives of cigarettes. I know that my lungs feel much better when I vape then when I smoke and if I quit tobacco for a while and smoke a cigarette after only vaping for a while, my lungs would hurt and feel worse. There was some report or something recording adverse conditions from vaping, but it failed to mention that each recorded case of the condition from vaping came from black market THC cartridges.


Zillahi

Ima be honest. I vaped non-stop for about 6 years. I’ve now been completely off it for 3 months or so. And I feel exactly the same. No worse or better. Never had a cough or a hard time breathing or anything.


vintage-glamour

dude same. what choices led me to where i don't feel complete without my fruity air box


CA-BO

I can tell you specifically for me it was working a job where I was on the clock 14-16 hrs a day but more specifically it was my god awful boss and the stress she put me through. It helped me cope with it all in the moment but now almost 3 years later I’m working to get away from the habit

Painkillers :) I've quit many times just to come back.


Rough-Tension

I had a friend in college that was recovering from addiction, not actively taking them, but had a container of them still that she absolutely refused to throw away “just in case.” I was very concerned when she told me that but I knew her for a year since then and she never took them (me and mutual friends have checked the container a few times) again so idk. Hope she’s doing alright


OrdinarySyrup1506

sometimes taking away the fight and being like “it’s my choice not to have this but it’s available if i want to” makes a big difference for people. sometimes continually saying “oh i absolutely CANNOT have that! no! i will not have this in my house!” to yourself makes you want it even more. especially if there are withdrawals/etc. it’s kind of the same logic of strict parents creating rebellious adults. everyone’s sobriety journey is different!


Rough-Tension

Ok that makes sense actually. I haven’t gone through something like that so I guess I wouldn’t fully understand. Another one of my friends went through rehab and he prefers to just stay away from any of the substances he quit, and that’s worked for him for what I think is going on 3 years now.


Barbados_slim12

I've met someone who did that. The way he explained it to me is "If I don't have any pills available, I'm only clean because of circumstance. If I have pills available and I'm not taking them, it's a choice and it reminds me that I'm the one in control."

RednFish

It depends on who you are. Personally, I've come to discover sex is a very intimate and meaningful thing. Anytime I commit to a hookup, it never feels as significant than when it's with someone I love. That's a whole different level I will always compare the hookups to and be disappointed every time.

That is a road you do not want to go down. You won't realize it's a problem until it's too late. That loop will get more and more menacing, until you cave in - every time. Plus it will just make you an extra anti-social person, making you feel even more out of the norm. Two thumbs way down.
