Re: addicitons

What The Bleep Do We Know would be worth the watch as well. The website even has an entire forum about this topic.

Is that good then? I nearly brought it the other day..

Re: addicitons

What the Bleep- the extended version is really good other then the fact that it is a little boring... watch it for like 45 mins at a time.. The secret on the other hand I feel is a much better movie when explaining why we do what we do..

I bought them both.. go for it.

Re: addicitons

This kind of applies, if not, well here it is anyway...

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap victory.
If you plant consideration, you will reap harmony.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.
If you plant openness, you will reap intimacy.
If you plant patience, you will reap improvements.
If you plant faith, you will reap miracles.
But:
If you plant dishonesty, you will reap distrust.
If you plant selfishness, you will reap loneliness.
If you plant pride, you will reap destruction.
If you plant envy, you will reap trouble.
If you plant laziness, you will reap stagnation.
If you plant bitterness, you will reap isolation.
If you plant greed, you will reap loss.
If you plant gossip, you will reap enemies.
If you plant worries, you will reap wrinkles.
If you plant sin, you will reap guilt.

Re: addicitons

I reccomend working it all out wheather it be physically (excercise) or creatively.. write it out. Try to change peope/ places/ things. Take it one day at a time. Don't get cought up in what you're not doing, try to think about what you are doing.. taking care of yourself and just being that much smarter. You can try to go to NA or something like that. It really helps to realize that there's probably twenty more of you out there working towards the same things. Addiction is all about muting out self awareness but at the same time being only centered around the self. Try to realize that there's a whole world happening out there.. and you're totally cheating yourself out of it. It's important to realize that there's so many better things out there than what chemicals have to offer. You can do it, I know you can.. because I did.. and if I could, I think that just about covers the rest of the population of the world in possibility.

Re: addicitons

My head is starting to feel "normal" again. Seriously, I didnt post this looking for sympathy. I read what people have to say and try to apply what I read. Im taking it day by day.

Re: addicitons

Ok, so I want to make an update cause Im actually pretty excited. I have now been clean for more than three weeks. This weekend I was in LA to see Wisternoff and Schulz and I knew that it was going to be hard. I was there with a good friend of mine that is also a recovering addict. We made it the whole night, it was so cool. Its weird to say cause I had never been able to imagine being at a party and being sober, and I mean completly sober, no drugs, alcohol nothing. It was hard at first but then during the night I didnt think about it much. The show was dope and I had a great time being sober. Who would have thought? Thanks again for all the input, it actually helped and Im doing great.

Re: addicitons

Thats awesome man, good for you dude, good habits are the key, we are creatures of habit so be sure to fill your old habits with new one's...study your patterns and be ultra aware of when your most vulnerable times are i.e. night/morning , monday/friday you get the point...those are the times when you will most likely need a friend who can hold you accountable...when life begins to seem boring or monotonous your brain will crave some kind of variation and thats usually when people drink alcohol, do drugs, drive fast in their car, etc...observe yourself closely, keep mental notes and lastly congrats on taking positive steps forward

Re: addicitons

Glad to see that you've done good for yourself...addicition sucks, even though I as an individual refuse to admit it exists (as I've done loads of shit and never felt it as an addiction) Don't what exactly you got hooked on...anyway I only wanted to say that instead of watching some shitty self help films i.e. the secret...you should really get to know yourself at a deeper level and I'm not talking about religion...I mean read books that have been around for ages, read all the clasics...Kafka, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Niche...also I would recommend reading Carl Gustav yung...I think if you get to know yourself well enough and become comfortable with the person you are and your actions you will have little need for drugs as a base of your life.
Books and lifting weights are my meditation...and the club is my church where I gather thoughts. Ecstasy/drugs are only a tool I sometimes use to gain deeper knowledge of myself, not something I rely on to feel good...
Hope you make it man, really I do...because if you don't than what chance has everyone else got?

Re: addicitons

volunteer at your local county hospital. You'll see shit that'll make you stop drugs right away. Better yet, volunteer at a children's hospital so you can see the amount of kids affected by the sins of society.
