See when posting drivel like this shit, it puts yourself firmly in the fucked up category, and in no fuckin position to judge others around here.

Any of you guys into coffeemaxxing? I remember feeling pretty godly while drinking 9 cups of coffee per day. Might try coffeemaxxing again see where that leads me. Only problem is when you want to quit. Caffeine withdrawals are way worse thank meth withdrawals, believe it or not.
I hate that meth has to be a gateway drug to coffee y'all.
Coffee abuse and reading is how I coped with quitting weed and drinking. I drink a lot of coffee every day, and caffeinated soft drinks. I used to drink 2 energy drinks a day (monsters, rockstars or N05 random flavors i liked to mix it up) but coffee is cheap and doesn't make you look like a douchebag. I plan on eliminating sugary drinks from my diet next. I'm worried about my teeth, I also quit cigs and have been using a vape but I've done that a few times and always go back. Doesn't hurt to try though.
Just relapsed. Its tough because you realize 1 blast will make you feel way better than its possible to feel without it. I think i'll stick to 1 blast though, because that first blast makes you feel like god but after that all yer dopamine is used up and it aint doing you any good. Had a solid 9 day sober run tho. How are yall doing?
I think the most important thing is to make sure nobody knows that yer using.
An Update....I’ll keep it brief. I am still figuring out most, if not all, of this. This is unpleasant - there is no miracle contained in the next few paragraphs....
The Adderall: 2 steps forward, 5 steps back. I can easily abstain for 5 days, then I find myself on a 2 day bender. I don’t have the ability to completely dispose of all of my Rx, yet. It’s somehow become the reward I am allowing myself every few days for living, otherwise virtuously.
Self-Exclusion: I finally pulled the trigger - 6 online card rooms, my local casino and disinvited myself permanently from the two home games I play in. Lifetime bans. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to mourn my status levels, points and comps.
I am attending 3 AA meetings, 2 GA meetings and 2 online GA meetings a week. I am no closer to God, I think most of it is a ritualistic bunch of shit....but I am sticking to the schedule and the structure is forcing me to stay righteous.
I finally spoke in the last GA meeting I attended. What a train wreck. I explained, in no uncertain terms, that my biggest issue was not gambling - it was that I still felt superior to the others in the room. I explained that I my ego is the issue. I told the group I could not relate to scrounging my last pennies together to buy scratch off tickets. I explained that I still felt in control of my out of control life. As I was talking, I froze out of fear - the fear in realizing how full of shit I really was. I then admitted, that I realized how fucked my thinking REALLY is and that as long as I still felt I was better than the rest of the group, I need to keep attending.
I am the master of “Fake it Until You Make It,” so by looking at me - its hard to see the storm brewing inside. I am hopefully optimistic that things will improve....and so it goes, for now.
Kilgore Trout, best dupe of the decade
HOF
Not much of a post but ...
Kilgore writes good. She is able to put you in her place. So you wonder what you would do in her shoes.
I'm pretty compulsive and competitive about everything too. I can't even make the bed without making it an exercise in perfection. I procrastinate about things I predict I won't excel in but I digress.
I have smoked on and off my whole life. Never had a bad cigarette. I'll quit for a decade then something will happen and I'm back. The thing that helped quitting was working out. You ain't gonna go through that much pain and trouble and blow it with a cigarette. Always worked.
I think I saw it suggested here that you need to replace one addiction with another. The ego and your build leads me to think you'd be a good athlete. Racqetball, tennis, running, working out. Most guys work out to get bigger. Women work out to manage weight which isn't your problem. Competitive sports lend themselves to trash talk and comradery. Trash talk should play to your strength.
I love recreational racquetball. There is a huge element of trash talk and ego. It's fast enough and complex enough that you have to be in the moment. A great escape unlike fag sports like golf. I've often come off the court after so many hours so gassed my hands are shaking. Fucking love it. Lotta gyms offer it. Good way to meet people too.
A lot of racquetball courts have a little box set into the wall that people put spare racqetballs in or whatever. They are often deep enough for an ashtray which is great.
Some weak sauce but that's what I was thinking about.
