Just need to stop the porn jew and the lonely jew now.

Drinking alcohol and staying up too late remain my last two vices. Thinking about breaking up with my gains goblin for this reason.

I'm just saying fuck it at this point. I don't have the time, money, energy, or joint health to pursue women anymore so I feel like I should avail myself of internet porn and drugs and fleshlights and stuff because it's literally the next best option.

You guys have fun fighting over pussy, I'm out and I'm fuckin' chillin.

Figured out too late i like liked a friend.
We slept together like 3 times, but i didnt really do the whole Cuddle thing, so she assumed it was just sex.

Wanted to ask her out 5 days after she met someone else...(didnt know she met him) . Who she knew for a long time, who Just got out of a relationship.
Monday we still kissed but chose him anyway.

Now that i'm typing this i realise maybe im better off.

Anyway, lost weight due to above reason and can do a human flag rn.

Only safe bet for uppers is coffee and tea. It stood the test of time for multiple centuries. Energy drinks and synthetic drugs will leave you worse off than you were before.

My friend took ritalin during his teen years to domesticate himself for the mind numbing school system. It made him anxious and lethargic even long after he quit it. Look up the side effects for yourself and don't fall for the chemical jew.

at least you made it to day 10 senpai, I always break the streak barely above the first week, it's either saturday night or sunday morning always, I suck.

Fail.

Porn and fap I can live with, but I hate the fact that I can´t seem to get myself to stop smoking again.

Thank you for the advice, thing is I was on ritalin as a child and early teen (garbage single mom) and now I'm fucked either way. But currently, without anything, I'm entirely unable to hold any stable work. Figure if it takes those drugs to stay on something and actually get into a profession long-term, then I'll just have to deal with it.

how old are you then?

i went on a bender last week (3 day weekend) and felt depressed all week.
my friends then pressured me to go to a cottage with them this weekend and party some more. i firmly declined and will spend the weekend cleaning, lifting, reading. feels much better.

Great post. Where did you hear about the mimicking dopamine thing? I've been thinking about it recently, and I deifnitely feel an addictive compulsion to get straight on Jow Forums or the internet when I get home from work.

>Figure if it takes those drugs to stay on something and actually get into a profession long-term, then I'll just have to deal with it.

Bad reasoning user, by taking more of it now you are accumulating the long term negative effects for later. Then when you finally do have that job, quitting will be so much harder because you'll be fully relying on it, like an alcoholic that needs his drink in the morning to function properly.

The best solutions are almost always the traditional ones: exercise/diet/sleep. Focus on the essentials and cut out all the other shortcut bullshit. Better to struggle now than to ruin yourself later.

Down to £10 of heroin a day

Smoking cigarettes in 2019 is pathetic.

>exercise/diet/sleep
Man, this shit does not apply to everyone. Yes, it will make you feel better, but I've spent years lifting, sleeping enough and eating clean with different diets and never attained the clarity of mind necessary to stay in a proper job. I know that antidepressants are total bullshit, but I'm also sick of trying to figure it out on my own when clearly there's something wrong with me on a medical level.

26. I'm just done so many guys are so far ahead of me and I've got shit genes to top it all off. Porn and drugs ain't a bad deal though, if you think about it. Hell these days, depending on your situation, it might be the move.

very pathetic

I find it hard to get to bed on time. 3 of my work shifts in the week are usually bar closes. So Ill finish between 130 and 2 on a friday or saturday and wont be wound down until 330 by the time i get home. Any advice for getting myself to fall asleep right when I get home?

Sounds like you might just be a little bitch

>Where did you hear about the mimicking dopamine thing?
It's just something i've been thinking about lately, influenced by many ideas.

I'm thinking about how so much time we spend nowadays is a mere derivative of what we did in the past as hunter gatherers.

Scrolling through your social media feed is like scavenging for berries in the forest. Watching youtube/twitch and shitposting on Jow Forums, they are passive artificial forms of socializing with your tribe.

Playing vidya could be like the thrill of the hunt, yet the adrenaline you feel from winning a match in your favorite game doesn't even come close to that of being face to face with a bear while your tribesmen are flanking him from behind.

Or sitting behind your computer in a dark room while you fap to some unknown girl. Mere imitation of your ancient desire to conquer the women of the neighbouring tribes.

The bottom line is, we're domesticated animals. Like big cats kept in the zoo getting fed every few hours, we've become passive and weak. No need to be fierce when you are constantly fed and entertained.

Surprisingly deep.

Trying to get rid myself of porn, so far I managed to stay 50 days straight, before fapping to Nikki Benz and similar. 3 days in, best no fap streak was 97 days though, I have to rid myself of desire for porn with God's help.

This. Been running 3x/week since Nov, gym 3x/week since April, weed down to a couple times a month, drinking 2-3 times a week from all porn games weed drink 7d/week and now my sleep is all fucked up. Can't get solid sleep no matter what I try. Screen time down, cbd, boring audio books, i get up at like 6 most days so I'm going to bed by 10 or 11 and I'm just lying in the dark being angry.

Porn and weed increase numbness, which can help if you're feeling shitty, but it won't help with depression.

>/pol

You're confusing the mismatch between your nature and the requirements for your 'proper' job as you being an all around deficient human being.

If a certain job requires you to be medicated then that job isn't for you, no matter how much external influence makes you want to believe that it's something worth pursuing. You're better off, especially long term, to reconsider your values and interests and pursue the things that you are interested in AND have a chance to become one of the best at.

Cast a wide net and keep filtering it down until you can find the perfect niche that matches your nature.

I swear you're samefagging. Nobody would bother to ask you for further """insight""" on a middlebrow popsci opinion

Today is my first day off weed in a long time, I know I can quit, I've done it before but always come back to it one way or another and the sleepless nights when i stop smoking are pretty awful

I've gotten to the point where I have no vices due to how well my body feels all the time aside from typical aches and pains. I have no desire to alter my diet and eat atypically (pizza, fast food, etc) due to the effect it has on my digestive system, and possible effects on subsequent day's lifts. Its gotten to tge point where I will turn down sex if it means I may not have time to eat and get a good night's sleep as a result. Monk mode would suit me well.

doing gods work my son

Start transitioning away from the porn jew by only masturbating to pornographic images. Then only images of women, making them progressively more vanilla. Masturbate regularly to maintain a clear head, but it should start to become like brushing your teeth; a requirement for regular function, but no more and no less.

Not samefagging, but thanks for the compliment!

Less caffeine, more exercise

guys i was laying in bed, falling asleep and in delirium imagined myself looking up porn, had some precum.

im on day 5 nofap. do i have to reset??

it increases SHORT time happiness. the next time you require more doapmin for the same effect. more weed, sicker porn etc.

long term your brain gets fried into a dopamine addicted idiot who cant get satisfied on normal amounts of weed, and social interaction and doing small tasks become boring.
junk food also becomes more lucrative because it gives huge dopamine spikes.
same with social media and all other instant dopamin crap.

tldr; you trade short term highs for long time stability.

Fuckiing vices is CHIPS /ALCOHOL/ SUGAR

I need at least 1, can throw 2 away but not all 3

I haven't touched my RC stim in three days. My body is physically feeling 10 times better at least. My heart isn't constantly beating quickly. I actually feel hunger again. Body doesn't feel so tight, dick isn't perpetually tiny, actually wake up with morning wood. Varicose veins aren't aching and stinging when my pants touch them. I can pee and shit whenever I want without worry and without bloody stools. And, best of all, the bladder leakage is going away: I can stand up from a sitting position without a little bit of urine dribbling out every time.

You'd think that with all these positives I'd just stop using it entirely. But every time I successfully stop for a few days I think, "if I were really addicted I wouldn't have been able to stop this long, so it's okay to use it once in a while".

Keep the Chips.

the only "drug" in my life right now is computer usage/the internet/video games, which has been present my whole life.

I obviously use it as an escape but I don't think simply removing it cures my depression. I think mine is deep rooted in low self esteem, lack of identity, childhood traumas, and a lack of meaning and purpose in life. I quit my new grad job recently because it was too depressing/meaningless to me. I'm thinking of trying again but I am really not sure. The future doesn't feel good for me.

If anyone relates I'd like to hear about it

You're probably a paleo fag too aren't you

Life is suffering even with masterful control over one’s health and emotions. In moderation, vices increase net happiness but the problem is people typically lack self control

Was managing to stay away from porn but slipped up i failed three days in a row. I dont know if im psycing myself out but i had trouble with upper body after that. I haven't had a cig in over a month now and beer in about 3 weeks. I just got my run time to 30 minute 3 mile. I'm trying bros. Wish me luck in breaking the porn cycle.

I get urges just limit it I would get a takeaway every fucking day so now 1 time a month I don’t really drink just because not in a place I feel confident going out on the lash but like that I’d moderate or 1 time a week for a few drinks not crazy but for
Crazy times maybe 1 time every few months

Noweed day 3
Nofap day 23
Cant seem to kick cigarettes, should I be ghey and get a JUUL or just quit cold turkey?
Very nice gains, God bless you user
Politics can be poison on the soul when obsessing over it, it’s like sports for “big brained” folks.
Very nice, start your journey of quitting pr0n today.
You can do it user!

That’s me in the picture but I’m not on any drugs or alcohol and I go to sleep at 9:00. How the fuck do I get out of this life and improve my life lads.

9:00 am btw. Some days I just don’t get sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and I can’t fall back asleep s

The only reason why I lasted over 100 days at one point was because I was at bootcamp. They removed the stall doors so you had no privacy to jerk and honestly it was the last thing on my mind. I got hurt and had to stay even longer than the average recruit. The urges did go away but superpowers?? Really?

4ish days without porn. Somehow, when I"m not fapping yo porn regularly, I stop worrying about my oneitis.

>No Porn
3 days (2 days of nofap going for a 60 day reset wish me luck)

like 4 years
>Junk Food
I had a burger king triple cheeseburger for lunch like 1400 calories, but I'm keto AF and counting it in my calories

Currently working nights so my sleep is abysmal, luckily I go back to a normal day shift on Tuesday.

Currently just cutting weight and honestly I've been on a permabulk with no programming for like 5 years now. Feels good to be losing some damn weight, I'll be keeping it off. Thank you Braggs Apple Cider Vinager.

Because people who post here are more concerned about not touching their penises and pretending they don't watch porn on a website with 15 porn boards instead of lifting weights and eating a good diet.

Dude you have either been programming or eating horribly (or both) if that's true.

its been a few days without buying weed so the routine is almost broken. Starting to do small stuff and not feeling as lazy as i was. I still have a weed pen but it works to curb the desire to get ripped.

For other people struggle to stop weed cuz of finances or cuz its too comfortable try finding out your exact routine when you get weed and break it. I for example like grabbing it coming from the gym. Now instead of going just take a hit from pen and then go home. The compulsion to acquire weed has been calming down.

Def, burnt out at work

my gf broke up with me over my opiate use and I’m finally clear of it (had to get help, do not recommend going alone). I am looking ahead but am sad that I maybe lost a good thing cause I chose the drugs over her for too long

were all going to make it

I broke my six day nofap/nosex/nocum last night by fucking a really ugly girl I met online late as shit.

I haven't had a cigarette in three months.

I'm going to chew my arm off.

Haven't had a drink in a week for the first time in years
Swapped smoking for vaping a year and a half ago, but I needa quit that next.
Went from drinking four or so energy drinks a day to 1-2 a week and coffee otherwise. Slowly lowering caffeine use altogether.
Next up I've gotta replace most of my video game time with something better and fix my sleep schedule, then I'll be pretty much where I wanna be.

just jacked off to porn, fuck.

3 to 11 is still 8 hours, it's only a problem if it's hurting your productivity or you want to become an early riser. "when" you go to bed doesn't matter as much, your body can adjust to any schedule as long as you get the 8 hours

Realized that cheat meals are the biggest weight loss jew in existence.
For 6 1/2 days, I ate 1600 calories a day, exclusively of greek yogurt, grilled chicken, rice, steak, and spinach. The evening of day 7, I had 8 garlic knots, 3 slices of pizza, and 5 beers for my "weekly cheat meal." It wiped out between 70 and 80 percent of the deficit I had built up over the week. I'm putting all this effort into creating a deficit throughout the week, only to wipe it all out in "cheat" weekend meals like this. The scale has only moved 3 pounds in a month, and now I know why.

how’d you stop? also at risk of losing gf for same reasons (if not losing, just letting go because its not fair to her)

I'm beginning to accept my alcoholism desu. I'm not the "always drunk" alcoholic, I'm the "take any drink I'm offered, always drink too much" alcoholic. I figured it out today as I was checking out at the corner store and started salivating over the little airline vodkas. I haven't had booze in a week due to macro reasons but I'm considering cutting it out of my life going forward. Just kinda dreading all the social pressure to drink and how I'll explain myself :(

>1600 calories a day
That's low af. Are you a girl or what?

Went vegan 3-4 weeks ago and I feel great.
My body feels lighter and I don't feel like a cuck for betraying what I've always believed to be right. My skin looks better and I'm a little more vascular too.

Working on quitting snus, bought some nicotine gum and hoping to bite the bullet.
Quitting cold turkey was a lot easier as a NEET back in the day. I've tried it now, but an emotionally retarded coworker of mine drives me nuts and I'd probably quit mid-nic fit.

I tried to drink the other day and I got bored after a tall can did nothing but make me wish I didn't waste my money on it, thankfully drinking is getting old all on it's own.

I've done a lot of porn and anime lately, and less socializing. Sugary drinks maybe twice a week which is a lot for me, but I feel no urges to drink them so it's fine.

I've spent more of my time writing lately. I'm worried that nothing I write will ever be publishable, but the journal should be fun to flip back through when I'm much older.

I've been in a better place, but to really improve I've gotta be better than ever before.

Just say you don't drink. Period. I went all through 2018 and most of this year without drinking a drop of alcohol. The exchange usually goes like this.
>'Sup? You don't drink?
>Nah
>Why not?
>Just something I wanted to keep in line
>Oh.
And nothing happens. Well, one thing did happen: I realised how much people need alcohol to socialize.

I'm skinnyfat. 5'9, 162 pounds. Probably high teens bodyfat. I want to cut down to 10% bodyfat by the time I get back to school, and then bulk from a clean slate through the winter and spring.
