how the fuck do i cope? the day is just too damn long. my mind always gets me no matter how much i go hiking, read or meditate. i thought this sober lifestyle was superior to cocaine and alprazolam? did i get memed? or did i simply forget the pain the drugs bring and this new lifestyle is now my baseline happiness. what the fuck man i just want peace

No sober experience will be able to compare to drugs that target and overstimulate your dopamine reward pathway.

yeah man you just forget the pain of drugs, unironically. being sober 24/7 is shit but it's less shit than being a junkie who's brain chemistry wildly oscillates like alternating current in and out of euphoria and vertiginous lows

subjecting yourself to a bullet appeals but i guess what's the point

I love drugs so much. I cant wait to get more money so I can buy a kilo of Red Kratom.

OP you need to get obsessed with either reading, art, music, or learning a language, these things will keep you occupied all day if you wish. Maybe writing too, although generally there is a limit to how much you can write before you start churning out shit and feeling bad.
Maybe get on a safe drug like snus.

In quarantine I've stopped drinking, for the most part because I'm not going out to bars with friends all the time. This means I've recovered a day and a half for every night not going out drinking because there's no hangover (getting old and drinking a lot does a number to the body). So I've had some extra time, when not having anxiety paralysis over this whole covid thing, to focus on my hobbies. If you are starting from the point of the only skill outside of not working you have is that you are literate and you lift weights, then you have a wide swath of things you could do. At first it's all based on what you have a passing interest in. What things have you always thought about learning? To list a few that I've had some level of involvement to success have been:
>website design
>graphic design
>lifting
>photography
>guitar/singing
>writing fiction
>writing/researching
>painting/drawing
>woodworking
It really depends on what you want to do and the key is to stick with it. The goal is the self actualization manifested irl in the form of making something. Be it a song, a painting, a short story, etc. The flow state comes with progressive mastery of something. Being lost for hours in something can be extremly satisfying, and by the end of it you have something you made you can be proud of, something you can examine and make better the next time. It's a progressive flow. This is why people say you should get an "artistic" hobby. Reading and watching movies is fun, but if you don't do anything with it, then it just becomes passive consumption. Not to say it's bad, consumption allows you to be a well versed person and can be used as a tool when communicating with other people to show a shared interest or define likes and dislikes.

Nvm you already lift
Start doing MMA too, and with art, the rule is
Produce more than you consume.
Start doing zazen too.
Take a break from philosophy and read manuals. Apply what's written in those manuals until you can do what you're supposed to learn (drawing, picking up women, fixing faucets, creating things etc). For example my father teached me how to make traditional knives, and it felt good.
I reccomend also the books of Julius Evola. He's wiser than it appears, he has techniques and methods to gain control over your mind.

It's not as good of course but it is a fun substance for daily use. Of course long term use has downfalls. I started having extreme anxiety from usage when it usually flattens anxiety. That's when I knew I had to stop but I was using it daily for a couple months. Try it out

Do you have any protips on using a whetstone? I got a shitty 2 sided one and some cheap knives/swords I'd like to sharpen, but every time it feels like it's almost sharp I fuck something up and it's dull again.

Not as powerful as benzos but still nice. Comparable to a high dose of codeine but more mellow and less fuzzy. Theres not as much of the static feeling you get with codeine, it is cleaner. It feels like you are diving into a pool of silky smooth oil. Like a droplet of water being submerged in a black ocean. It is very much a "relinquished" feeling on higher doses. If you get Bali Red, take 10g at once and you will be blown away if you have low tolerance. Definitely worth trying. Dont go near white Kratom, just get Red Maeng Da, or Bali Red. Or Red Borneo either. I love kratom.
