i lost 350 gold in 2 roulette rolls in dnd tonight fuckin hell

Working non stop for school doing 3 classes is great but I am burning out and losing motivation, got drunk for the first time in a while yesterday drinking some vodka. Blyat. Felt good and bad at the same time. Don't need that shit but this constant battle of resisting urges and doing other things is just tiring. That's the difference with others they don't have urges to resist, there isn't some constantly battle or effort you need to make constantly unlike a person like me who is always having to keep attention and effort on remaining aligned.

Need to find satisfaction in healthy outlets.

You need to be contemplating your death.

Fake it til you make it. Literal telling yourself lies that exercise high is just as good as the drug one

Also big advocate for learning to be your own healthy handler. Your style can be yours (like jdances is being a rough pseudo dad for himself and locking his toys away). I’m a personal advocate for learning to pat yourself on the back when you do those things, and avoid patting yourself on the back when you do something bad and get lucky (like gambling and winning)

You can just stop doing drugs and alcohol and after like a year it’s not even really a struggle at all anymore

Lmfao look that’s probably true but you get the hilarity in telling people who struggle with dependency use and delayed gratification that it gets better after one year

Hilarity? No it’s just the blunt truth it gets increasingly easier the longer you go without, with the bulk of the problems occurring within the first 90 days. Usually we just focus on the now to try and get drug addicts through whatever made up ass issue in their head that’s causing them to want to get high but in reality it’s really as simple as just stop being a bitch for 1 year out of your life and everything will get exceedingly better

Like things you don’t even tie to your drug use that you’ve deluded yourself into believing have absolutely 0 connection to your drug use will just magically improve because in reality your drug and alcohol usage is probably the root cause of a lot of issues and most don’t realize it either intentionally or are just too stupid to have the insight to see

I mean I meant that I agreed that you can just stop. but to do that they need to mostly worry about justifying (and ultimately) quitting in the immediate future.

Like drug addicts are clearly already overconcerned about their immediate future going a specific way, not just not thinking longterm. Just telling them to think longterm won't change many of them.

Not to mention that withdrawal is real, and so is having bad drug habits deeply ingrained into a variety of routines for a number of "functional" addicts who probably can't just drop everything and put themselves in a half way house or rehab center.

Not to mention those things aren't genereally as effective as they should be either. It's all about mental strategy and you can't assume everyone's got their playbooks ready to the longterm. Or that they'll ultimately copy the plays that they were told by some rehabilitation institution to quit for the near future, just because they should.

I really just meant that i think what you really gotta tell them is stuff to get through that near future or get them to iniitally consider the long term more. I assume they kinda know that at some point, it will just physically and literally get easier.

Too many words. Contemplate your death.
