    Please please please stop self pleasuring yourself.

    I mean literally stop porn, drugs (alcohol is ok once a week), etc. I only say this cause I am the product of a decade worth of pmo/drug binging.

    This is not just my take, im sure everyone who is like me will say the same. You need to be involved with social life at 20 and above, it literally shapes who YOU are.

    I spent my whole life hiding from my issues by getting high and jacking off. I thought eventually things would work. Ive been severely depressed for over a year AND im basically living off my parents. I was so blessed and didnt realize this. My parent is a doctor and I didnt have to pay a dime for school. All I had to do was work on my goals and life would have slid into place. I am telling you now pmo/weed will NOT push you in the right direction. I was very reluctant about it. Ive seen people before my eyes go the dark path, but couldnt find the courage to quit. Ive always wished someone would tell me how their lives were destroyed before their eyes from porn/weed. I still have hope but its not going to be what Ive always wanted it to be.

    Fulfill your destiny NOW. Be who you always wanted to be. It wont feel good at first but life has its moments. My goals now is to start a family and educate them on my mistakes so they don't ever have to go through it. It might not be the most fulfilling, but saving ones life is better than none. Stay blessed and live life to the fullest!

    Congrats on your decision to change! What you said is so true, I find personally there is a direct correlation with smoking weed and pmo, its important to be mindful of our weaknesses. Thank you for putting this message out there and good luck!

    I will try! When I bounce back my life I will start preaching. Honestly its all part of the past to me, and if I can stop someone from walking in my footsteps I'd probably feel just as good as if I made the right decisions myself.

    Hell yeah man, I can relate to this for sure. I know I spent a lotta time looking back, paralyzed with guilt and regret. I heard an analogy once about how most people live their life as if they were trying to drive a car forward while staring in the rearview mirror... Even if you're looking back for redemptive perspective, I would say make it quick. Because who are you to say that it wasn't your destiny to stumble the wrong way? What great man hasn't stumbled the wrong way? And if you learn from your bullshit and it guides you back to the things you really believe in and love, then it's all part of your narrative, journey, destiny, all that, and you have so much more potential for being a deep and full human being now that you've really been in touch with your own dark shite. I can remember vividly being a kid with no responsibilities or hard choices, when I thought I was still one of the "good guys" and the world out there was full of the "bad guys"... But I wasn't good, I was just naive, and protected. Then life got severely fucked, and I fell into dark rabbit holes and was convinced that I was a piece of shit, for a long ass time. Over the last year I've moved back to my home state to reconnect with fam and old friends and finally got a decent job with health insurance and therapy options and started back in school after taking 7 years off... Now I'm finding fresh air again in life, and I'm thinking that I didn't fall off of my path, it's just that my path went through the rocky shite for a while cuz I really needed to learn a whole lot.

    I know if I had done the college thing and girlfriend to wife thing and been a courteous neighbor and worker and civilian of the state and all that stuff that was expected, I would have been a fucking nightmare by now. I would have been just another polite "good guy" that subconsciously made others' lives hell by blaming everyone else for the problems in the world, and suffocated as fuck inside, because I would have never explored my own self, and never got in touch with my own shadowy stuff and... Sorry for goin on so long, your post touched a nerve or somethin, I gotta go to work now though, thanks for the post and getting me thinking, and I think you've got a great plan for yourself and I wish you all the best with it @ahighertruth.
