....and so it goes.....A CONFESSION

[Zap_the_Fractions_Giraffe]

i was aware that it was kinda mind-controlly but I wanted an excuse for my bad behavior and problems, because my parents were really harsh on me about my shortcomings so I went along with it. I did snap and realize it was just too Brave New Worldish and felt like my real soul was at stake. this song was my theme then

So most the forum was heavily medicated as children...........shocking...


Also, does everyone realize that Ritalin and similar meds are amphetamines? Im all for adults being medicated(I'll wait for the obvious dig), but children is another matter.

Fuck you if you are giving your kids meth.

It was a racket... my folks took me to a psychologist. They did an IQ test (128, wow, your son is smart! he should be getting GOOD grades!) then he put me in front of a computer with a clicky test. i had a clicker in my hand, and it would show a flashing square. you had to click it when it was a certain color. I passed it perfectly (oh, well... maybe he's INTERESTED in that, it must be more of an AUDITORY form of attention deficit!) the great psychologist also notices that "He blinks a lot and doesn't make eye contact... and he's tapping his fingers and fidgeting! it's abnormal for a 15 year old boy to show signs of boredom and impatience in a boring, long meeting! I'm gonna go ahead and say he has ADHD, even though he doesn't have behavioural problems and just sits draws and doesnt apply himself! he's not hyperactive... he's... he's HYPOactive! Shazam! Here's your diagnosis, please give a call to my colleague Dr. Feelgood and set your appointment!

then the real doctor, real doctor touches my balls, flirts with my mother and writes a script. Followup a few months later... "so i hear Zap is doing his homework and cleaning his room! he went from 180 to 140 lbs in a few months! No worries there, weight loss is normal! i own a 100,000 dollar coupe with an twelve cylinder engine!" keep going, grades skyrocket... down to 115 lbs at 6'0, doctor still writing those scripts "losing baby fat" I'm like forcing myself to eat a piece of bologna so I don't die irl, screaming fights with my dad so bad I can taste blood in my mouth, just smashing shit up... it really was quite traumatizing to me and my whole family. They all just wanted me to be a robot, academic intellectual sort of person but the truth is I'm supposed to be a farmer like all my ancestors.

Well if it makes you feel any better, you make a hell of a cartoon strip, please post moar.

I have hit the wall. I have finally been broken by this lifestyle. I’ve spent the last 18-24 months exclusively playing poker. The year previous to that, I spent playing high limit blackjack. For income. Full time. Notwithstanding the last 6 (six) months, I was a net-winning player, including in my –EV plights. In fact, I reaped all the benefits of a 7 Star existence, until the non-advantage play ceased. This isn’t about what I have won or lost though….what it IS about is the outrageous sense of entitlement I’ve gained, sprinkled with a myriad of other bad habits I’ve developed

Were you a card counter?

Every card counter I know as one thing in common.

They are all men.

Casino security will never believe for a second that women have a brain.

i'm also 100 percent sure if I was born 20 years later it would have been Asperger's. Not to sound like a scientologist, but the medical community doesn't know what the fuck they're on about when it comes to mental illness. If i was born 50 years earlier, they would have hammered an ice pick into my frontal lobe.

So it goes

I recently quit meth. The grandest upper of em all. I'm about 6 days clean. I feel good, but I've been sweating so much its ridiculous. I looked it up, apparently this is because meth is poison, and my body wants to get rid of the poison any way possible, and one of the ways is by sweating it out. I mainly quit because its been hurting my SMV. Mexican chicks who used to beg me to go out partying with them, or to teach them english pre meth, now look at me like I'm gross and avoid me after they found out that I'm a methy. Anyway, if you want somebody to discuss the struggles of quitting uppers with, feel free to slide into my dms.

[SetofKs]

FWIW the sweating doesn't happen while I'm chilling in my house watching tv. But simple activities like cleaning my house result in me sweating as much as a pretty tough cardio session normally would.

Congrats on getting sober. It's not easy. A bit of advice from a guy who has been down the road you are embarking on:

Get a sponsor
read the book
meditate
find god whatever that means to you.
Avoid slippery people, places and, things
get some new hobbies
learn your triggers
get a sober social network

also many in AA are kind of hardcore about medication assisted treatment, anti depressants, etc. Don't be afraid to get professional help if the program isn't working for you. You might also want to look into supplements and vitamins that will help you naturally regulate your mood. Many people I know have done in/out patient treatment and then AA. There's no right way to do it.

Also so just remember that being sober doesn't mean you can't be happy. It's a great journey.

Agree with everything. If AA feels right go for it, same with anything but if you can find a replacement for the
routine of getting high, and it's got your interest, that's your ticket. Idle hands are like BGC's? ?? That's easy to say and I've been through it a few times but there's a lot out there to consider just as long as you like it. It's a pleasure seeking world
