only your diary can change that, anon. But, simply put, stopping to masturbate won't change the fact that the world you and I are living at is atrocious, to say the least. It won't change you personally more than you're willing to delude yourself that it did. So maybe just step up and stop masturbating and drinking, like a man you are. Or do it, and stop feeling regret over such an insignificant acts

nothing wrong with masturbating, surely? it's porn overload that's the problem.

but alcohol can really suck up all your mental and physical energy.

i recommend reading any good novel that sparks some kind of curiosity in you. just push through the tedium and take the time to read it carefully. when you find a book that's meaningful for you, and you find other books like it, you'll have found a better way to spend your time than alcohol.

There there, Anon. You're not alone.

not a book, and i haven't tried it myself, but it's supposed to be very effective

For alcohol: The Big Book by Bill W.
it's from the guy who founded Alcoholics Anonymous. Fun fact: he decided to quit drinking after an LSD trip. I think the best remedy for addiction is mental/spiritual upheaval, which can be found in: hardcore exercise, extreme sports like hang gliding, religion, psychedelic drugs

My own addiction to drugs and alcohol stopped by sheer force of will. You have to be willing to accept the pain, and force your attention to other things. Take your bike, ride in one direction until your legs give out, and then come back. If you're exhausted, you'll want sleep/food/water more than whatever you're addicted to. Good luck.

Books won't help. It's loneliness and boredom that causes it. Try to find friends or fill your every waking our with some pursuit. Also stop coming here; this place makes you feel more lonely.

You are the scum this website is designed to corral. Recognizing and addressing filth and disgust does not make you observant, it only reveals what you enjoy.

This is the same logic behind that meme that says if you hate gay people you must secretly be gay yourself.

Why would you wanna do that though? If you got a serious problem, go to therapy and don’t listen to retards recommending you evola or whatever

>>20975020
Just go outside and talk to people.

>i feel bad about these vices, what will help me get rid of them
nothing, any book that would make you feel bad would be moot because you clearly already do, if feeling like it is wrong isn't enough of a deterrent then nothing is, have fun doing the thing you want to do and felling bad about it defeating the purpose of hedonism

Most people only want to get drunk and talk about sex

Realize that you choose with what to fill your psykhic space, and/or your body, and that the more abundance that you scatter the longer it takes to regather.

Be carefully diligent, and warefully vigilent.
