That's not true. I haven't read a book since I was 12 and only come here to shitpost about Guenon because I think his face is stupid

If you drink, you will regret it; if you do not drink, you will also regret it; if you drink or if you do not drink, you will regret both; whether you drink or you do not drink, you will regret both.

I defeated my opiate addiction by completely losing the will to live. Afterwards all external stimulus ceased to be attractive.

based kierkegaard.

read plato. trial and death of socrates. find out why people purposely do harm to themselves. you know better.

and read the bible and pray to God for assistance. you can do it anon.

>>14625974
Exactly. So whats the solution???

I was thinking starting a diet of quality bread and wine. Does /lit/ recommended such a diet?

>>14626005
no. you will get fat. you need veggies and meats, anon. i eat one foot long sandwich every day, usually with beers or cheap wine. supplement with babybel individual cheeses or carrots in the evening. i walk somewhere around 5000-6000 steps per day. been losing weight, feels good.

just watch your calorie intake and don't eat garbage. and olive oil has more calories than you may think. be judicious when dipping your bread.

You don't. Sorry boss but if you got the bug you got it. I'm a 26 year old American who has drank everyday since age 11, and that is not the culture here. There is no hope. We are forsaken.

You irreversibly damaged your brain because "culture dude". It's funny how you offer opium up as "uhhhh yeah bro, least its not that". Opium isn't neurotoxic, so aurelius didn't have the brain damage and cope you exhibit in your post with your atrocious writing.

Simple. Force yourself to chug a magnesium citrate laxative every time you drink alcohol. You will vomit/shit yourself uncontrollably. In no time at all you'll start to hate and fear alcohol

>>14626274
Yea but then you get addicted to magnesium citrate laxative.

Infinite Jest made me realize that if I don't get a grip, I'm going to end up in AA.

Having a prescription for amphetamines has made it 5,000x easier to avoid booze.

Stop treating /lit/ like it's /b/ for smart people.

Essentially he saying the desire to be free from something is also a desire, it ultimately comes from the same source. Anyways, OP addictions are serious. I'm a coomer and it's so damn hard to stop. Unironically the other thing that works is semi torturing yourself when you are near relapse and arduous will

Read Bookchin

Probably not tho

Simply stop it. The people you hang around can affect it if they drink all the time and will pressure you. Don't buy alcohol and turn it down when it is offered. Learn discipline so you can drink casually in the future. Maybe you have to abstain forever. Change your internal logic through repetition and the addiction will stop. Just don't drink. Very simple. Don't make it seem complicated.

What has worked for me is just to substitute the bad addictions with good ones. Because of my 'tism I've always been unhealthily obsessed with things that I like, so it usually works for me. I stopped smoking because I forced myself to chose between my addiction to nicotine and my (at that time) newly found running addiction.

Pure willpower and asceticism.

Read psychoanalysis

No doubt a step in the right direction, but it doesn't fix the fundamental issue. Many of the altar boys that were molested in Boston became obsessed with weightlifting and getting fit. They all still had underlying trauma and personal lives that were a mess.

Set yourself goals and work towards achieving them
ie: Not drink for 1 week
Not drink for 1 month
Not masturbate for 1 week
Not message my ex for 1 week

start easy and go from there, dont get discouraged by failing, take it as a challenge

>>14625908
please anon dont listen to any of these hacks and go talk to a psychiatrist and or an addiction counselor. You need help.

I agree that the lives of many people are a mess, and I think that it's even implied in my post that my own life is a mess. You have to start somewhere. Some people can handle putting a huge burden on themselves but most people have to improve one step at a time. Willpower is a great thing to have, the problem is that I don't think that OP has it. That's why the best choice is always to do some small change and overtime work on that small change and grow around that small change.
