Sex and only sex. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs.
I can relate.
just like me fr
I'll keep it simple. It's alcohol. And...well, I tried quitting it like 5 or 6 times, but every time, it all went wrong. I love hard drinks, I love parties, and I can't live without all that stuff, but at the same moment, I understand that it's enough. I guess I need help
Ketamine
Must be British then
based
weed nicotine sex in that order
I have a raging nicotine addiction. Also addicted to porn - mostly out of boredom but can waste a couple hours a day jerking off if I have the time
(have a girlfriend too. It helps me last much much longer I’ve found)
Alcohol is an issue in my family. I have more than one DUI. I keep that in check and don’t drink on weekdays anymore. Only on the weekends occasionally.
Spending money eating out/ buying dress clothes
Also a major issue of mine.
I think i use it as some kind of therapeutic bullshit to fill my time.
Curious to know what you think of the Juul ban and nicotine reduction in cigarettes
I have a take on this!
Most people around age who use nicotine have left the juul because it doesn’t have fruity enough flavors for them and it’s relatively expensive to maintain.
Banning them is sort of tone deaf. Have to wonder if it’s because ab older generation took them on opposed to cigarettes - wrapped in the guise that it’s to protect the youth despite the fact they all use hydes/mr fog/vuse/ etc
That being said the rise of the juul definitely popularized e-cigarettes and probably introduced most gen Zs to nicotine.
Prestige
Username checks out . . .
No idea
Lying. I can’t seem to stop and I hate. Hurt some people close to me when they found out and I truly do hate myself for it. I don’t even know why I do it. It just seems easier in the moment to lie but then it keeps going and going until the truth comes out.
Lie about what?
Sports cars
Beautiful women, with something upstairs and great in bed.
Exploring things in life.
Golf - specifically, getting better at golf. I have a handicap I need to beat and I'm obsessed with it night and day. It gets worse in the summer, I leave work early to play 9 and constantly thinking about how to get better. During the winter when it gets cold, I spend tons of money to fly to FL to play, or just bang chicks on weekends when I can't fly. I need help.
Poker
People around me think I could be a gambling addict but not really into sports betting or other pure luck games like Blackjack and Craps, but man do I love poker. Maybe it’s because I’m just super competitive and it is quite literally trying to outsmart your opponents, but what an incredible game
It is an incredible game. I've gone deep in tournaments online and live and it is the biggest rush ever stacking chips and running deep. What a game.
addiction according to webster -
given that definition I'd say I don't currently have any addictions thankfully but I for sure used to. alcohol, nicotine (dip), porn, thankfully never got any more intense than that, just wanted to bring that up in case anyone's struggling, you can do it. it's not easy, but it can be done!
I would say marijuana in my past but I never experienced the withdrawal symptoms and was easily able to go without for indeterminate periods of time, so I'd say it was more of a part of my routine rather than an addiction, hard to say
Pizza and sleeping
Sex and girls
I like to get belligerently drunk from time to time, also have a nicotine addition. Don't really do much else except coke/adderall maybe once every few months if that.
Spirited driving in a loud car with a manual transmission. There's nothing like the feeling I get downshifting a couple gears and listening to my v8 scream to its 8,000RPM redline while I'm going around some old guy sitting in the passing lane doing 55 MPH. My love/addiction to driving and cars is the reason I could never live in a cramped city like SF or NYC where paying for a garage space is like taking out a second mortgage on your home.
I like that too but you really need to switch to AT. Modern engines are just so damn powerful with completely different power curves that you'll never use what you can get out of that engine. You're literally sitting on power that you can't use with an MT. If you don't believe it, try riding in one of the cars with some sort of launch/track control and you realize you simply can't shift as fast as required to go 0-60 in 3 seconds (or whatever). Like it's physically impossible to move that fast with an MT.
Look Dominic Toretto I understand, but if all you care about is straight line speed an EV is always faster.
I care more about the visceral interaction between man and machine. I love the feeling of knowing my success behind the wheel is actually being done by me. I'm the one shifting the trans, traction control is fully disabled. My girlfriend has a DSG GTI MK7 which is very fast and responsive but a dual clutch is so numb.
Finally, a vice that actually isn't lame
Yes
Shitting on stupid progressives.
Ah the most fun addiction of all
lol nice bump
Self-sabotage. I have broken off anything even close to a relationship historically due to low self-esteem. Always have thought I’m not good enough, leading to me breaking things off with any romantic interests as I can’t stand someone who is dumb enough to think I’m worth dating.
I have a great job, great car, and enough money to not worry about it. From the outside I look like I’m “winning” at life, but I’m a broken person. I have no discipline - I’ve gotten fat as a direct result of being lazy. Recently was diagnosed with a degenerative disease and I can’t help but think that if there is a god, he’s punishing me for being a lazy fuck.
I know exactly what I need to do to get what I want, but I don’t really want to get back in shape, because if I did, I’d actually do it, right?
I have very few friends. Of those I do have, I’m nobody’s best friend. I talk to less than 5 people from college - I was an asshole back then, and the “friends” I hung out with were not good people. I was a piece of shit in college, and once I graduated and had money, I continued to use people for personal gain.
You’ve seen my posts in the past about saying I’m done hooking up with people and blah blah blah, but after a couple of drinks in me I’ll just tell girls what they want to hear to get laid. Next day I feel like a piece of shit and will play Christian music and act like I’m gonna change my ways, but same shit will happen within the next two weeks.
I’ve done things that can’t be forgiven. Don’t see how a god could forgive the lifestyle I have lived to this point.
Someone told me I was the only person they’ve ever met that seems to only make money to make it. It’s true - I don’t spend a lot because nothing makes me happy, because at the end of the day, I’m still a pussy who can give advice but won’t follow it.
My diagnosis can’t be reversed - I’m not gonna die or anything, but I firmly believe it’s “karma” (I hate that word) for my actions. I’m a spiteful person - I find joy in watching other people fail. It makes me feel better for a brief moment about myself.
I’m rambling but I have nothing else to do besides slide into my desk and work after I get out of this shower. I hope young monkeys will read this and realize that money doesn’t buy happiness. It’s so simple for me to just get in shape and maintain both romantic and platonic relationships, but I lack the discipline to do what I must do.
I was talking to a coworker at lunch today - he came to the US from the Middle East when he was 17 and talked about how people are just weak today. Reminded me a lot about my own father, who also came to the US at 17 by himself for a better life.
I am a “victim” of my own actions, yet I continue doing them. Really not sure what the future holds. I just work and don’t really do anything else. Dropped 80k on a car thinking it might motivate me to change my ways but nope.
Hot water is running out so gonna wrap this up then go slouch at my desk and slave away in excel. Hope you monkeys have a good night.
bro i be vaping so much in the middle of my bullpen, they call me the "chimney"
That's cool you can vape in your bullpen. Can you vape Delta 8 or 9 THC or just nicotine?
