Coke, alcohol and prostitutes.
You feel on top of the world for a few hours and then you feel on the bottom for the rest of the month. That is, of course, if you have a regular job and don't have a lot of money. If I had the money to do it everyday I don't know what would happen to me.

>>1695my consumable-oriented vice is probably weed, though I only really enjoy it around other people. I mostly stopped smoking when I stopped having a roommate
my time-wasting vices are video games, internet news, and anonymous imageboards. Imageboards I had a good break from 2010ish-2013ish and 2015ish-2017ish, but anon just feels like home in a way I can't really describe.

I think I have to quit drinking and smoking cigarettes. After having alcohol withdrawals dozens of times, losing many more friends than I've kept and essentially accomplishing nothing for the last 1/4 of my life, nothing was enough incentive until this…
I developed a form of eczema lately and have linked the severest outbreaks to drinking and smoking. In the middle of a binge I can't feel it but my skin goes blotchy. As soon as I run out of money and the D-Ts set in, my skin feels like it's being stabbed all over, at random, by dozens of needles. It makes sleep almost impossible for about three days.
I did see a dermatologist who said it was eczema but I kinda self diagnosed this link to the external substances, and everywhere I look online there are articles corroborating it. My life is a steaming pile of garbage already, this just puts it over the tolerable limit.

>>1695It took me a few "attempts" to quit smoking, I went back to it a few times because of the social aspect. Haven't smoked in a few years now. I drink very rarely, I've never been the kind of person who drinks long periods at a time, I go over the top once and stay sober for the rest of the year…
>>1700I feel you, I also had a lot of problems with my skin in the past (my eczema got infected all the time…). Cutting out smoking really helps.

My real addiction is information.

>>1701Yeah the cheapest of skin creams (Nivea) makes a huge difference. Even the marks I've had for months and thought were permanent scars are clearing up now. A better solution of course, or part of the solution at least, is to not smoke.
Who knew smoking would cause this? Apparently you sweat some of the poison out, that's why it affects your whole body. I've heard Hollywood actresses say smoking is the worst thing you can do for your skin. There isn't a single long term benefit of it, and the negatives are wider ranging than just cancer and heart disease.

>>1705Interesting. I get the opposite of anything shaky. Tunnel vision, headache, the feeling that 40 lbs of lead is distributed around my body and my IQ drops by about 1/4. A single cup of coffee clears up most of it, another two or three and I'm optimal.

I'm not addicted to anything consumable afaik.
>smoke
I have yet to smoke a cigarette. Or anything.
>caffeine
Occasional energy drink, but I don't need it. Don't like coffee's taste.
>drugs
I live in a country where it's less prominent. Also, pricy. People ask me what I'm on anyway when I let my ideas loose.
>alcohol
I drink irregularly, mostly social. Just beer until I'm tipsy, or 2-3 occasions a year I knock myself out at a party for the lulz, and to experience the void.
>porn
I wouldn't say it takes too much of my time, so it's kay.
I'm saying all this because despite not having problems with any of these, I'm mostly just wasting my time/life; if you think one of these substances cause you to waste away, don't expect it to go away just by stopping the substance.

Vices, deep breath okay.
Well like where does one really even start. The way a horny woman looks at me. The way drugs make me forget, in the moment, how pointless everything is.
lets see, orgasm. How about life, I'm addicted to getting more chances and doing more things in the hope that it changes, changes,.. well anything.
Alcohol i wouldn't count as a vice of mine, grew up around a lot of alcohol and the consequences so i guess i got my fill young.
I do smoke cigarettes, its more of a social mechanism. I never want to smoke unless I'm around people.

Alcohol, mostly, though I am also fond of getting enough high-intensity exercise to meaningfully damage my body. I'm a masochist, and I like to go until it hurts.

>Have you tried to put them behind you before? Were you succesful?
Yes. No.
Seriously, you can think that's nothing, but there is a thing that happens to me. I wake up in the middle of the night, horny, but with my thoughts all messed up because of the dream, lines between conscious mind and unconscious totally blurred, so I can't really think, so I do really gay stuff and I can't control myself. That happens like, once a month, I had this today and I am pissed/sad. Today, in my imagination I represented my country and I was competing with china, so I had to masturbate or something. Pretty bad.
Will try again to stop this. It's so intense, could it be just hormones?
No.1751
For some reason my vices have seemed to have disappeared over time. The only vice I have left are the most harmful ones to me, laziness and binge eating. I've been getting over the laziness pretty well over time, I've been actually doing things that I need/want to in my free time instead of doing almost nothing for huge periods of time. The binge eating is still enough of a problem that I still get sick from it sometimes, but it's more of a twice a month thing when it used to be something I'd do multiple times a week. I almost wish I could get some more vice in my life, I used to be obsessed with pornography but I've been almost asexual for a couple of years now. I've tried drugs but I've never really felt like using them again, caffeine, adderall, weed (edibles, dabs, smoking), alcohol and psychedelics at least have been very neutral for me, even when I physically feel euphoria.

>>1750Wait.
Is the problem the frequency of these incidents that interfere with your sleep? Or the content of the visions? Fap-O-lympics sounds awesome to me.
No.1756
>>1755The problem is that I do really gay things, doesn't fit with my personality at all. Also, it's not visions or sounds, it's a bunch of hardly controllable random thoughts, that makes me unable to think properly. Did you ever meditate? After a certain time, thoughts will emerge from your unconscious mind, it's like this, but with a bigger influence on my behavior. When that sexual experience happened, I knew that I was masturbating, but everything I did was justified by those thoughts, like, I need to masturbate because I am competing to see which country has more political influence, so I forget why I shouldn't do what I was doing, all blurred.
After that, I go lay in my bed to try to sleep, in my thoughts (I was not hearing voices or anything), I was talking to two persons, like if my bed was shared by three individuals, not in a sexual way tho. Then I realize this and try to silence this thoughts, after a while, other crazy thoughts are generated. Really strange.

I got a whole escapism thing going on. I do drugs all the time to distract myself and to make my sad and boring life more enjoyable. Everyday is more or less the same and I like it to some degree, but I can feel the consequences coming closer. I barely consume porn, movies or games anymore. Most of my time I waste on the interwebs, listening to music and dosing my brains out.
Apart from my drug addiction, I'm into self harm. Since puberty I get boils and comedos on my back and shoulders. Squeezing them turned out to offer mental relief, even though it is rather painful, worsens the inflammation and leaves ugly scars all over the place. I've not been to the pool in years.

>>1803>I barely consume porn, movies or games anymore. Most of my time I waste on the interwebs, listening to musicThis but I don't do drugs. The Internet is a hell of a drug. Get nothing out of it, bored all the time, but can't get away from it. Been like this since I was about 11. When I play games, I feel like I'm wasting my day so I quit after about a half hour, then I spend 9+ hours refreshing imageboards. I can't stop; I don't know how to stop. I have to use a computer for work so not having one is not exactly an option.

>>1819You could try to cut the internet connection, if you don't have any particular business to attend at the net. Maybe turn off your router or even unplug it, make it harder than clicking on an icon, so you have to invest some effort like a barrier to cross! Before going back online, make a list of stuff you want to do and set a time limit for lurking and posting!
Internet addiction is serious soykaf.
