Honestly? The worst part about addiction is that it's like the psychological counterpart to cancer, the problem isn't "alcoholism" the problem is you. There are neurological components but changing neurology directly is damn near impossible for stuff like this and you're better off fixing your psychology and hoping it trickles down. Honestly, if you have good friends, lean on them, whether that means renting a cabin for a month and having them taper you off, or crying into someone's shirt every once in a while. If you don't want the life that no alcohol affords you more than the alcohol, you will relapse, you have to enjoy yourself.

how could you tell the difference between reality, and say, being in a very realistic dream in a coma for the last 10 years without being aware of it?

why is motion permitted/what stops the universe from being in a stationary state?

Can't fucking believe the world is like this /sci/ Im pretty traumatized by this, never in my life have I experience what happened today.

I've been using piracetam for about two months. It gives a nice sense of weight to my thoughts and concentration. It's not obsessive focus, but substantial.

Smoking is obviously a terrible idea, but nicotine really does seem to be worth trying.
It was as much a thinking man's staple as caffeine, back before people knew what carcinogens were. I'm thinking of buying some patches.

What nootropics do you take, /sci/, and why do you take 'em?
