Dear GBS,
I've always had a difficulty maintaining a healthy amount of self-control. In order to get my poo poo together, I've been trying my hardest to get my drinking and weed smokin' under control after doing both on a very regular basis for about five years. However, I've found that it's been tremendously hard to stay sober under the threat of feeling rock bottom depressed. Yes, I am super gay for letting weed affect me so. At any rate, I was wondering; How do you keep the vices away when you're feeling blue? What do you do to keep yourself in check?

Lots of love,
Your second to least favorite poster

PS. This post is directed at the all-knowing and all-loving GBS, and I would like to know the opinion is of the masses therein.

I've replaced my drinking and weed smoking with other lesser vices like jerking off and candy so basically I'm 12 again. On the plus side Starburst makes a package with only the red and pink flavor a now.

Do a bunch of vicodin. Not too much that you have to do Cold water extraction in order to remove stuff for your liver's safety, but start at 10-20mg a day and bummp it up to about 60-80 a day, then take several days of sick/vacation leave, like 4-5, kick your withdrawals. It'll give you some perspective on what lack of self control, depression, and addiction really is like. You'll laugh your rear end off at the idea of ever 'needing' a joint after experiencing what vicodin does to your body.


dont seriously do this, obviously, but it would give you perspective.

If you want the shamanic jungle trip experience, go to South America and join an ayahuasca ritual.

If you want to kick your heroin addiction with a psychedelic slap in the face from God, find an ibogaine treatment center.

Getting so drunk on top of smoking (post detox) that I literally couldn't get off of a toilet seat and had to settle for passing out on my parents' couch a twenty feet away is about as close to this as I want to get. I do understand it though, seeing as feeling that miserable still hasn't convinced my body to want to give it a rest and that I haven't been actually doing drugs with a strong chemical dependency. I'm not a hardcore drug user and yes, I could do much, much worse.

Hey you must know my friend, he's doing this except not the stopping part.

He's up to the phase where he disappears randomly, sold anything of value he had, steals from people, and lies directly to his wife "I was at <dealers> house. We were BBQing." Every day. For 10 hours a day. I'm rapidly distancing myself from him, gonna cut contact soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if he graduated to heroin. He showed me once how he did cold water extraction because he figured out how many pills he could take without liver damage, ate up to that limit, then bought more pills.

What Doth Life?
I stopped drinking a while ago because it's pretty gay, and then I smoked weed for a long time and someone labelled me "dependent" on it so I stopped out of spite I guess. Every time I had an urge I just tell myself "life is pain" and give out a sad sigh, and then after a while sobriety becomes normalcy. So basically just remember life isnt about satisfying yourself, it's about something else?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
