so what do you do when lifting and living a healthy lifestyle and having a gf leaves you as dissatisfied with life as you were when you were alone and addicted to drugs?
So what do you do when lifting and living a healthy lifestyle and having a gf leaves you as dissatisfied with life as...
You unironically accept the free gift of salvation from your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Get a better gf
Get a hobby
I don't mean this to sound like a dick, actually get a hobby. Sport, writing, reading, chiseling, fishing, whatever the fuck works for you
Work out whether you want to do it with mates or alone. Sometimes it's nice to be alone with your thoughts - kinda meditative
Best of luck, my man. I hope this helps
You keep improving dude
Don't stall in your life
Up the workouts, get healthier, find a better style
Once we adapt we need to work harder
Do something to give you a different perspective on what you have. Go volunteer with recovering addicts and listen to their stories, then look at your life.
Or pick a fight with your gf and sabotage things to make it a challenge to preserve your relationship and valuable to you again.
This is fantastic advice.
I'm also a recovered drug addict and the biggest thing for me was developing hobbies and interests so that I had a sense of self outside of the use of drugs. Gleaning that from a relationship can only last so long.
If you're not going to be lifting professionally, don't look at lifting as the final goal. Lifting is a way to build discipline, and prove to yourself that you're capable of achieving difficult goals over a long period of time. Take that discipline and confidence and put them towards something that will give you long-term fulfillment. Don't just get a hobby, start learning a skill or craft that you enjoy that will also make you more valuable to others. Start programming, try art, try writing, pick up a new language, try woodworking, metalworking, 3D modeling, whatever has value to both yourself and others.
Same goes for a gf. Obtaining a gf isn't hard, that's why you don't feel any sort of fulfillment from the simple act of having a significant other. The fulfilling part is building the deepest possible relationship that you can have with another human being and working towards marriage, children, and the cultivation of a unique bond that will eventually become a cornerstone for the rest of your accomplishments.
start readin
Get into occultism and mysticism or try and start a financial empire or accumulate power in politics or some combination of the above. Pray that one of these things gives you a sense of meaning and purpose.
Damn wish I could return to dope again...
you start going to Mass
I left my gf and started drinking heavily again.
paganism forever
You keep lifting and challenging yourself and improving. To fill the void get yourself a hobby, but something you're genuinely interested in, not something that Jow Forums or Jow Forums suggested. Even if it's anime, as long as you enjoy it and put some effort into it you're good.
go and talk to some one user or yeah get a hotter gf
Don't fucking listen to anyone's advice. In the old days the answer was religion, but now there's no way you'll believe in what you know is bullshit. You need to find your own solutions. "Find a hobby" means nothing and will likely just lead to some meaningless search for superficiality. Deal with your depression as if it's unique, because it is. Lifting is only valuable to you now because youve associated it and lack thereof with your best and worst times.
Is there something else that's missing? Are you just feeling overworked? What's going on, user?
Stop masturbating dont watch porn educate yourself read books, "way of men"
It doesn't leave me dissatisfied because life itself is a never ending chase for something we will never get, hell we don't even know the name of it. All we know is that we got thrown into this world and have to make the best of it, or die.
After lifting then you get a well paying job or educate yourself to get that job. Then comes gf and then family. The sooner you realize you will never ever reach that mythological end, the sooner you will also become happy and content. Personally I'd like to go into politics to attempt to make some changes in the world, looking good is a help there because A, it will be easier to reel in the female crowd (let's be honest, women and politics is about 99% image), and B, it shows you can take care of yourself and have achieved some degree of self-discipline. Someone who can't rule himself should never rule over others.
>“If you marry, you will regret it; if you do not marry, you will also regret it; if you marry or do not marry, you will regret both; Laugh at the world’s follies, you will regret it, weep over them, you will also regret that; laugh at the world’s follies or weep over them, you will regret both; whether you laugh at the world’s follies or weep over them, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it, believe her not, you will also regret that; believe a woman or believe her not, you will regret both; whether you believe a woman or believe her not, you will regret both. Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will also regret that; hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the sum and substance of all philosophy.”
or in other words:
>“I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations — one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it — you will regret both.”
paganism worships the feminine.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
If you were a real drug addict then you will never recover. No matter what you’ll always be chasing that high. You may never touch drugs again but you’ll never be satisfied with a normal life, you’ll turn any hobby or interest into your drug and it will never satisfy you, just briefly placate you. Your best bet is to try and find something productive that scratches that itch. You will never be free of if, but you can find some moments of relief that way.
Camus really turned this on its head in a helpful way.
The world is meaningless, until you give it meaning. You may regret action or inaction, but if you commit to something, to giving your life purpose, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried to improve things, and beyond self-satisfaction, a little bit of good in shit is sill better than no good in shit.
You're probably right
Makes me a bit sad
>not even doing anima and animus
>relevant religion
