Battling With Addiction

NobodyKnowsMe said:
My own addiction is with sugar. I fucking crave that shit from sun up to sun down most days. Being on a strict diet of bodybuilding centered food has helped me. But the cravings dont go away. I’ve heard some say once they switched to whole foods and dropped sugar for long enough their taste buds and cravings no longer wanted sugar. For me, it’s not that easy. I’ll always crave it and it’s just something I’ve owned and though when I binge on some I hate myself in the moment, but know it’s a passing moment of weakness and I’ll come back.

Reta will help you with those cravings.
Some people get the cravings for sugar and some don't.
I've eaten pretty much squeaky clean for a long time.
The only thing I have ever craved for is a damn Pizza.
But I will stand strong because If I eat that pizza..........
I'll have the Hershey squirts for a week.

The op is addicted to being a turd.

What I have learned about addiction is that it runs in spectrums.
Some are addicted to the drugs, some to the routine and some to the culture. Some all of the above.
I have been addicted to opiates a couple of times and quit on my own. Once cold turkey. Very stupid.
Once with the help of my wife after coming clean to her. I was sick of hiding it.
I have known many guys who were addicted, got clean, but loved the ritual, hanging out with junkies and the whole enchilada. Fell right back in.

I am an extremely stubborn and tenacious guy. Kicking was hard for me but going to happen.
I think for others, one must work within their psyche and mental/physical parameters.
It is no different than training, dieting and the positive “addictions” we often discuss here.

But in any case, a person has to truly want it or success will be elusive if not impossible.
And the incidence of relapse very high.

The op's username seems familiar. Is this the guy who stiffed you for coaching fees?

Then he came back as Big Swole Martin rattling a tin can for free gear.

Reminds me of Sirnigus that guy begged for free gear more than anyone I can remember. He would change his cycles more than his underwear.

ex addict here man. 5 years sober as of last month... It's a battle man. Biggest thing that's helped me is the gym and bodybuilding but aside from that as soon as the thought enters my mind I immediately shut the thoughts down and think about all the good that I have in my life now that I'm sober. My wife, kids, health, spending money, whatever you are thankful for man think about that and know that it'll likely be gone if you fall back.... My DM is 100% open if you ever need anyone to talk to brother. Stay strong you got this..

Appreciate your advice. I'll look into that. My mom was an addict to sugar as well. I'm not sure where the craving comes from. I wasn't like that growing up until I turned around 20 yrs old. I'll research Reta and see what I can find on that!

Mom wasn't Type 2 or full blown diabetic was she?
If you do go the Reta route, a little goes a long way with that stuff.
 
I was in a similar boat a year ago, and what really helped me get back on track was checking out outpatient rehab orange county ca. I could keep my job and still get the help I needed, which made all the difference. Being around people who understood what I was going through made me feel less alone, and the structure helped me stay clean without putting my entire life on pause.
 
I'm convinced addiction is a demonic attribute.

Meaning this is a tool of Satan in this lifetime.

Addiction kills, disrupts, ruins lives, families , imprisons, etc.

It's everything Satan would want and it comes in the form of pleasure and temptation.

It gives false hope

Addiction can be cured w a strong heart.

Someone very special to me once said, "Wesley, the devil seeks to devour you when you are weak in mind."

And this is true. Drug addiction makes one susceptible to demonic possession as well as true physical and mental collapse.

People use drugs to feel good and escape reality. Escape their problems.

But the reality is it makes your life 100* worse.

Withdrawals and depression ensue. Life gets worse then it already was and you will be tempted to escape it at any cost.

This is Satan in a nutshell.

Pray to God to bring the Holy Spirit into you and to fight this fight.

Addiction is a life or death battle.

Drugs, alcohol and other temptation.

These are tools of evil.

Wishing anyone addicted hope, love and prosperity 🙏🏼 ❤️

100% agreed. I cant stop smoking pot...... It helps me eat all this food
so I can look in the mirror and marvel at myself (Vanity)
There's Porn everywhere and yea, I check out them ho's at times.

This is all sin too Wesley, we live in a sinful world.
I'm just glad that Jesus died on the cross to forgive us of sin.
We'd all be fucked if he didn't. :)

It is sin.

Vanity is sin.

We are all invested in vanity. Myself included.

But let's call it what it is. When we sin let's admit it

Surrender to God.

Let's focus on bettering ourselves.

I've slept w so many women minus marriage and God doesn't approve of this.

Am I to claim pride bc men look up to my actions? And women desire me as result? No. I'm shamed as result. I'm ashamed of my behaviors.

I know better...we know better.

And I intend to improve.

Yeah man,some days are easier than others.For whatever reason..
And as Wes said devil comes at ya in a moment of weakness and knows exactly what to put in front of you to fail!!
Although it's up to you to choose good over evil..
Which can be hard sometimes because choosing evil can feel so good!
Addiction is a daily battle. I need to stay alert and in tune with myself. And Trippy and Wes said the gym helps!
I try and leave all my demons and sick thoughts there!!
Stay Strong
Stay Focused
Stay Positive

You got it 100% man. Shut them intrusive thoughts out as soon as they come into your mind... Distract yourself. find something for your mind to do for the next little bit.. anything but go that route man.. It's tough but it get easier. I keep a picture of my daughter in my wallet where I keep my cash and have to look at that before I spend money so if i ever go to buy drugs she's the last person I see before doing so.... Luckily I haven't ever had to see if that works or not but knowing it's there has definitely kept me from going any further with some bad thoughts in the past.

Thank you bro! like I said it will get easier. It takes time and it's hard but man is it worth it. I wouldn't trade the life I have now for second of the hell I used to live in. My worst day sober has still been better than my best day as an addict.

Nobody ever talks about all the bad shit weed does to you. I get moody as hell when I don't smoke, but it does help me in many other ways, so it's a trade off. One thing I've discovered is that everything comes with a fuckin price though. There isn't anything out there that "takes the edge off" without being harmful in some way.
