Giving up Vices

[Baron]

Quote from Rehoboth:

Simple carbs and liquid fat.

What's liquid fat? You mean drinks with sugar like soda?

Why willingly give up a vice? They make life worth living. If you must give up give up a healthy choice they're no fun.

Quote from Baron:

So is it true that after the first line you are pretty much chasing that same feeling for the rest of the night but never get there?

Yep, the nights were always so predictable on that shit, hit the first couple at like 9:30, dance at the club for a bit, and hit a few more,(feeling good at that point) then at 3:00 when the club closes, go to someones house and play poker, and really start piling it on, always trying to get to the point you were at to begin with, which was unachievable, then like i said, driving home at 7:00 when the sun is up, and having "buyers remorse." realising how bad you feel, and how much money you spent.

Dont miss that stuff at all, and i can see how people end up hooked on it. Im just lucky i dont got an addictive personality.

Back in the day, I started suffering from depression. They didn't have antidepressants back then but they did have tranquilizers, which turned me into a zombie.

A dentist friend of mine suggested a few highballs at night and the next thing you know, I was a falling down drunk.

Luckily, I found out about a psychiatrist in Richmond whose whole practice consisted of hypnosis.

It worked like a charm and he changed my life. I got off of alcohol and was cured of depression for a very long time.

I now have a very mild case of depression, which I treat with trazadone.

Quote from Baron:

What is one thing you quit/gave up that has improved your life dramatically?

Reading ET, I should be completely off it in another two months according to my sponsor. Still not certain replacing it with Marry Higgins Clark is a good idea but my blood pressure is lower.

gambling on short-term price swings ...

Alcohol




One never realizes how much it affects cognition until giving it up

If you saw a photo of her...you'd probably delete your post and hope nobody saw it.
