    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    Isolation, shame, more isolation, more shame. It’s a self-reinforcing downward spiral, and porn especially triggers that since it’s by definition secretive. It is brutal. Just read up on hikikomori’s in Japan to see the full extent to what can happen to an individual who gets caught in this...

    Easy peasy method. I’ll read the other one as I am super curious about this subject. I met an addiction specialist by chance about a year ago who said he holds meetings for relationship issues, one for alcohol, one for drugs, and one for porn, and since covid he says the porn group outgrew...

    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    In my opinion this book is trash. Doesn’t go deep into the cause/effect of addiction, it basically prescribed white knuckling for 90 days then seeing ‘how great you feel.’ Which is disastrous advice, because it reinforces false hope syndrome.

    I agree. Just stop then immediately after just become a millionaire. Just do it.

    I struggled with addiction for years. The most valuable books for me (in no particular order) were: 1. Dopamine Nation 2. Willpower Instinct 3. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and Gabor Mate’s other works These specifically for addiction, but other books were very equally valuable but were more...

    How you WIPE your WINDSHIELD? #rant

    I’ve heard you hint towards this vein of thinking in the past. Have you spoken in length about this and where you get your perspective from? I try not to think of it anymore, but family can be the biggest hindrance, and usually the most toxic will use the blood is thicker than water type of spiel.

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    No one can say for sure. BTC has never hit an ATH before the halving in history. With what has happened to the dollar since the last halving cycle, the ETF’s and wider adoption, we could see some crazy movement this time around. If BTC followed historic averages as a benchmark, BTC would be...

    This is really it at the end of the day, the rest is fluff. People from all circumstances and backgrounds find success. Don't obsess over irrelevant tertiary things like your romanticized story or struggle (especially manufacturing your own struggle, how disgustingly privileged that is), just...

    I love this post. You should exhaust all your options to fix an injury before doing something drastic like surgery to fix it. Especially the possibility of re-aggravating it down the line because you never dealt with the original cause. I can attest to Deadhangs working well. I used to have...

    Deeply depressed best friend...

    OFF-TOPIC HEALTH 
    That is presumptuous. Depression isn’t logical and often has to run its course. Unfortunately the habits that stave off depression have to be cultivated outside of the depressive episode, once someone is in, it’s like being trapped in a tidal wave (assuming it is really depression, not...

    Also important to keep in mind, those that clown you are the type of shitheads that you don’t want in your life. So if they expose themselves, you get to phase them out of your life! Win-win. Only insecure people put others down, winners are focusing on themselves and know there is enough...

    He seems intent on making it a skill for himself, and the fact he asked this to begin with shows his intent to grow into the type of person that can do it. OP, just expect to suck at first, nothing wrong with that. Get as many reps in as you can. Remember no one really cares. Don't go for...

    Yup, Conan O'brien comes to mind, he was such a nervous wreck his first show. Surprise, people actually double down on supporting him, because we are inspired by underdogs that struggle but persist.

    I am lucky to have gone through a ton of injuries in my teens and early 20's due to being reckless to now know how to recuperate issues the moment they show any signs, or prevent them altogether. For example when I was 20 I herniated my lower back so badly that I was bedridden for 2 months and...

    Also good for stuff like social anxiety I’ve found. Think of the worse case scenario for any interaction, being mocked, rejected etc. now dial that to 100 and put yourself in a controlled situation where you are literally getting punched in the face! I think it’s a good way to brainwash...

    Hey there, Welcome to the forum. Your story reminds me a lot of Alex Becker's. He learned Copy/marketing while in the military until he could afford base pay, moved into a sharehouse with 4 dudes and was living off $1000 a month til he gained momentum, eventually scaling an SEO company to a...

    What's your motivation to do things if you don't need to make money.

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm very curious about this. In my personal experience the most malicious thing you can do to an ambitious individual is give them free handouts, it weakens them, and if the charity continues it turns them mediocre. Like the adage of the man and the fish. I have seen it happen too many times...

    Motivated by MJs new profile pic, have been prioritizing ab training to heal a tweaked lower back. Goal is clean up the form and do 100 consecutive reps of the wheel rollout.

    A wolf I encountered on a walk last night. Seems like a pretty random thing to see in the middle of a suburban neighbourhood in East Vancouver.
