Your Progress Is My Progress Is Our Progress: Understanding The Underlying Causes Of Addictions

I just found a really cool channel about film. Filmmaking. OR is it film-making? A red squiggly line is showing under the first spelling. I was thinking about making a new thread about it, but I'm still undecided. It's bookmarked in case I want to in the future.

 

Hmmmmm it's pretty fair weather for my part of town, I should be grateful for that even if the 'weather' inside my own space ain't up to par just yet.



When did my demons become my angels?

 

Therapies still under research a clear direction has yet to be determined for recovery.

 

“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”
― Plato

 

“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.”
― David Foster Wallace, This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

It's beginning to look like the War-ram has programmed itself and is no longer separate from recovery.

 

My throat is acting up today. Dammit why did I have to do that yesterday. Roaring like a wolf in the woods didn't help not gonna do that again.

 

Oh man I just feel like a used up human rag doll these days.

 

I just saw a classy Vogue cover photo and the issue was titled WOMEN RULE! FUCK YES THEY DO.

 

Will eventually have to find a way to manage the posting frequency here. It's a little chaotic for the time being. Please join the recovery party in here whenever you want to talk about something. The key idea being CONSTRUCTIVE DISCUSSION NOT DESTRUCTIVE ARGUMENTATION.

 

I just got into an argument (well I exited out before it became a full blown argument, exited out of the argumentative energy of the conversation through feigning defeat LOL I told the girl that what I was saying just wasn't logical lmao and she was like ya it's not and gave me this confused dirty look which was her own mental waste being projected outwards onto something she was frustrated over because she just didn't truly understand and had I told her the real reasons then and there for my choice well I was afraid to and didn't lol...) over not wanting to donate to a food bank at the grocery store checkout. I never do that. I strive to be a vegan these days but sometimes slip back into vegetarianism and so I don't like donating money to something I don't involve myself with (animal agriculture) minus when I eat some dairy cheese pizza or something anyways I never had to argue about not giving to a food bank before like I donate to other charities for instance anytime I'm asked but I draw the line with the food bank. It's not that I don't want to help others it's just that I can help in my own unique ways without feeding into an industry I'm not comfortable being a part of. Everybody suffers just because I don't feel comfortable giving a dollar to your food bank charity at the grocery checkout doesn't mean you have to be a fucking bitch about it LOL.

 

"If you spent just one week at the Fight the New Drug office, you would be able to see the hundreds of emails that we get from people all over the world, sharing their heartbreaking stories of how porn ripped their relationships to shreds. By using these personal accounts, along with science and research, we are spreading the word on the harmful effects of pornography and showing the world that porn truly does kills love."

Thank you FTND for being an ammunition supplier for this Army.





Left alone
I am forced to stare at my reflection
No longer able to hide so here's my confession
Though I fear there is nothing left to save
It's been ripped away

How can I choose
When I thought that I needed you?
Just to move along in search of something new
And still I fight to feel
All of this is very real

You can't save me from who I've become
A mere shadow of my(fucking)self
Breaking down from the inside out
I will never be the same again

And I remember
The first time I looked into your eyes
I knew right then you'd be my wife
Somehow we lost each other
But I thought we'd be together forever
Now there's an emptiness inside
One I must live with all my life

Do you know how it feels to be empty?
Do you know how it feels to be all alone?

Look what you've done
You tore my heart out and held it out in front of me
If only to show the world how heartless you could be
After all these years you've lied to my face
Waiting for someone to come and take my place

(After all these years you've lied to my face waiting for someone to come and take my fucking place)

And I remember
The first time I looked into your eyes
I knew right then you'd be my wife
Somehow we lost each other
But I thought we'd be together forever
Now there's an emptiness inside
One I must live with all my life

From what i’ve seen today you’re nothing but a fake
burn all the lies that you fed to me.
And all these questions now they linger in my head, I see you truly for what you are!



"Porn is full of ideas and practices that are completely opposite of what real relationships, real sex, and real love are like. Healthy relationships are built on equality, honesty, respect, and love. In porn, it’s the reverse; interactions are based on domination, disrespect, abuse, violence, and detachment. Not cool."

 

Oh boy I forgot what I was going to post must not have been crucial.

Ah well this will have to do:



DAMMIT I'M STILL PISSED OFF I CAN'T REMEMBER IT I THINK IT WAS FUN!

 

Whew I'm worn the fuck out and I'm not even doin' a damn thing lol wtf man?!?

“Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! 'Have courage to use your own reason!'- that is the motto of enlightenment.”
― Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?

“Dare to think!”

I hate division in a community.
