How does an average american rehab looks like? How much simillar to the Infinite Jest?

[Anonymous No.12746217]

infinite jest also if you're feeling close to a relapse drop acid or do some dmt instead (unless you have a family history of psychosis in which case idk AA is cool) psychs helped me get over my addictive personality

Ive been around sex addicts and experts on sex addiction, and this is the progression of hardcore porn addiction that people experience. You get used to literally jerking off to other guys, which is a homosexual act, and become desensitized to the normal stuff and start needing the more taboo stuff. If you must watch porn, avoid stuff with guys in it, and you wont get that energy into you.

Hey OP. I went to rehab for a year for heroin and xanax addiction. If the rehab has a wifi connection you can use, bring a kindle or something so that you can download books directly on it, that's what I did.
Anyways, read Man's Search for Meaning and Meditations (Marcus Aurelius). And for fun, 100 Years of Solitude.
Good luck.

Are you rich or some shit? I've been in tons of rehabs, some 30 days and some long term and none of them allowed shit like that, clothes and hard candy that they had to search were pretty much all you could bring, and you get wanded with metal detector and strip searched, I didn't have either both times anyway. I read the garbage they had at the place OP, some western author and outdated newspapers. Good luck getting sober off whatever you do, I couldn't get off heroin until I got on methadone five years ago but if you arent retarded like me you should be able to do it

Nah I haven't used heroin for about three years now, glad I got out when all the fent adulteration started hitting hard, overdosed twice in one week before i got accepted into my methadone clinic, not gonna pretend I'm clean since i take 120mg of methadone daily but I'm not shooting dope or homeless anymore which is what matters to me I've been using heroin since 16 and I'm 30 so it's been a long time coming. Took a few years on ,ethadone to finally quit for good.

If I recall correctly, I kind of accidentally discovered /tv/ while searching for film communities online. I was really into film back then, and wanted a place outside of Reddit that discussed them. I spent most time on there at first, then curiosity came over me and I slowly explored the other boards, like /lit/. Only a few of them though, I'm still not familiar with most. I'll probably leave here soon though, I've been in a bad place in my life since 2016 and this place has been a haven for someone as depressed as myself. But it hasn't helped me, only hurt me, and at this point I'm so sickened by the sickening things here that my plan is to leave and never return. You should too, if you also find this place disturbing. Your soul is too precious to lose to depraved parts of the internet.

I mean I've been here for over a decade and the only board I've posted on regularly is /lit/ (since probably 2010). Before that i was an edgy /b/tard, but /b/ was different back then. None of the other boards have ever interested me

Thank you friend, I guess I'm grateful personally since i believe that was a huge reason I ended up getting off, I hope you get clean man, as you know I'm sure that shit and benzos will kill you outright and is devastating to the system. I hope you find peace my friend.

Thanks man I'm actually doing better I relapsed a bit last week when my mom died (possibly due to excessive kratom use to deal with her own issues--be skeptical of that stuff too btw) but yesterday and today were sober again and I'm happy with it. I realized that little good choices, little noble actions are really something to strive for and be satisfied by--most of my life I beat myself up for falling short of sainthood but I'm going to try to see that differently if I can. Peace bro.

/b/ terrifies me tremendously. i went there a few times, and despite being immensely repulsed by the seeming absence of morality in posters there, who with no qualms of conscience post pictures of their families, schoolmates, girlfriends, etc for depraved strangers to literally pleasure themselves to, there was only images of g*re, which I was so terrified by I never returned again. Absolutely disgusting beyond words, that someone could not merely look at that but desire to and derive satisfaction from doing so.

>>12746973
You guys say this, and I get why. It's difficult to leave this place. It's like a vortex which sucks you up. But in reality that vortex is one's own inner dysfunction, be it depression, loneliness, disconnection to the masses (i.e "normies"), and so on, which then pulls one to places like this to grieve from such afflictions. If I or anyone can fix the internal problem, which holds the source of the dysfunction, we can most definitely rid ourselves of visiting here, which is only the symptom of it.

/ck/ is really cute, people there are so unbelievably friendly compared to the rest of this place, that when I went there it felt like I was on a different site altogether. i have no clue why those culinary b*stards are so kind and jovial, must be all the good food they make keeping them in a good mood. but i'm vegetarian as of several months ago, i'm pretty sure they are mostly carnivorous over there. fast food places and the like. if they have veggie meals on there i'll definitely revisit it, since i've been needing to learn how to cook. /out/ i've never been to, i'll try and check it out. thanks for the recommendations though <3

Really? Are you new to the internet? It's a cesspool of shit that's been collectively validated, why do you think people are so gay now? It's the internet. The internet unleashed a collective unconscious "gay" onto our generation.

People are starting to realize they’re gay bc people have always been a little gay and there is no longer some great, exterior force to surpress it. People still fuck women. Women still want your dick. Well, maybe not yours since you sound like a scaredy-cat incel with an enlarged amygdala

I didn't go to rehab in the US. The country I went in has a much higher standard of mental health treatment (Despite being a 3rd world country) and the rehab I went to was really nice. It was almost like a hotel with a ton of therapy and therapeutic activities thrown in every day. Also paid for entirely by insurance. I haven't done opiates/benzos in a little over 2 years.

>My time with anon had come to an end. During our time together, I had learned about his general cyniscism and misanthropy, but also his irreverent, self-deprecating style of humor and his ability to show compassion toward those who shared his "feels". What had started as a journey into the "dark side of the internet" had become a poignant investigation into the lives of wayward young men. With no community to fall back on and plenty of free time to spend online, they had forged an alliance not out of common interests but a common sense of displacement. Although they have been attacked in the media as nazis, perverts, and nihilists, the picture I was presented with was one of loneliness and desperation. I finally realized that the "Internet hate machine" hates nothing more than itself.
