Addiction is a word that can't be understood by a person who has never experienced addiction.

I totally agree with that statement about addiction. And, people don't think of the fact that there are gazillions of addictions out there. It's not limited to alcohol and drugs. I have an addictive personality, and am addicted to many things.

And, LoneKiller, I just wanted to say that this is a very brave and interesting thing you are doing! Good for you! :D

That's kind of you to say WishingWell. Thank you.

 
Hey.:)

Have you ever wondered if the people in the asylums are the normal ones and we are the crazy ones? Just a thought. I'm having an incredibly difficult time trying to make friends in the trailer park I live in. It's marijuana central!

Every day for me is like an episode of the "Trailer Park Boys". Almost everyone I've tried to get to know keep offering me smoke. I'm not angry with them, it's not their fault, they don't know that I had to give it up. I just politely decline, but on the inside I'm ******* frustrated.

It's been over a decade since I got clean but still the temptation is there. It's not fair. I've payed my dues by staying straight and sober over a decade and yet God won't take this temptation away. It pisses me off a little. I worked too ******* hard to be where I'm at now, but a big part of the reason I'm healthy now is because I believe that God gave an assist which I appreciate, but it doesn't make it any less tempting.

In all fairness though, I could be in much more serious trouble if I were hooked on meth or heroin. Those poor souls addicted to that magnitude of drugs are I am sure, suffering at a much greater level than I.

I'm not going to let this beat me. I've worked too hard all these years.
I'll be an addict until I die. I will have to be on my guard every damn day, every damn month, every damn year until I pass away. I believe it to be God's way of showing me that he has zero tolerance with drug abuse.

I will continue to fight this temptation as long as I draw breath. Please viewers, don't ever make the mistake of thinking that you can handle an addiction by simply making up your mind to quit. As commendable as it is,
it's not that simple. That's why people who have never been addicted can tell me anything about it. You have to be one to understand.

Nothing pisses me off more than people like priests who have never experienced addiction up there trying to tell their congregation what addiction is all about. I know their hearts are in the right place, but
they continue to preach about it, when they have no idea what it truly feels like to be an addict. It's like a person who has never played basketball trying to tell Michael Jordan how to handle the pressure of
competing in the NBA.

I respect and thank you for your reply. You really seem to care. That's nice to see these days.

 
Things I Have Learned From This Forum That I'm Grateful For

1. I've gained more insight into myself and various mental afflictions.

2. How to configure emulators.

3. How to make a "Screenshot".

4. Changes in how I address certain mental issues with people outside of the forum.

5. Chat room experience.

6. Comfort in the knowledge that nobody is going to judge me and make me feel like less of a person.

7. Numerous Tech Support issues for free that saves me from paying Microsoft $49.00 a call for their help.

8. Knowledge in the fact that I can speak my mind without having to hold back for fear of embarrassment.

Thank you all.
 
Hello.:)

I am hugely interested in Cryptozoology. I can't tell you how many people laugh at me when they know that I believe in Bigfoot, the "Loch Ness Monster", the "Jersey Devil", etc. They can laugh until they die, I'm not ashamed to admit my beliefs with respect to this fascinating part of life.

The "Patterson Gimlin" film has been around 5 years longer than God. Many believe it's some dude in a suit. If any of them, and seemingly many others think that they have debunked it, then why is this video still sticking around with so much analysis and question?

There are a few features of this so called hoax that are important to point out. Upon very close examination with state of the art technology, certain distinctive features show that a hoaxer would have to be the world's best to consider while creating this "suit".

1. The creature has breasts
2. The creature's stride much wider than that of a human.
3. The hair isn't just slapped on their like it would be on a mink coat. The hair pattern on the creature is layered in certain areas bringing out moderate definition of muscle groups such as the ones around the ribs and thighs.

4. The fashion of the way the arms move while it's walking aren't usual are movements for a human. The first few seconds, the camera shakes, but not where it counts. When the creature briefly turns to look at the camera, pause the video, and look very closely.

If I'm hiking in the middle of a deep forest in the middle of nowhere and notice a huge footprint behind a rock while taking a leak, am I supposed to assume that some guy came out there at that particular area, planted a fake foot print, and hoped that someone might see it? C'mon.

Some say that if they exist, how come we have never seen the skeletal
remains of anything that would be similar to a creature like Bigfoot? There are an immense amount of creatures out their where we never see their skeletal remains, but we still believe in them. Why is it so inconceivable that Bigfoot or Nessy exists? There could be tons of creatures out there that we haven't discovered yet. An excellent example is the "Coelacanth". We never seen one before.

If memory serves, it was discovered around Madagascar.

I could be wrong. I've looked at it from both sides, but the scale kind of tilts more towards it's existence than the current evidence against it.

Thank you for viewing.:)

Hi JJ.:)
Yeah it is, but it's worth it. Instead of blowing $20 on a gram, I buy used video games. My last purchase was "GTA IV" + "Street Fighter IV" for $10 each. No too bad. At least I have something to show for it as opposed to an empty bag of dope. I'll be completely honest. I have nothing against anyone who smokes weed. It's just not for me anymore. There are more horrendous drugs out there than marijuana.

I have an addictive personality. I'm absolutely petrified of lighting up or drinking for fear of relapse after all my hard work.

Thank you JJ.:)
It is hard, but worth it. I have nothing against those who smoke weed, it's just not for me anymore. Besides, there are far more horrendous drugs out there to deal with as you will see in the images below. I believe that I posted one of these a long time ago, but it's always good to keep these images in mind should you someday be offered Meth or thinking about kicking.[/color]

That video game collection...that's just...wow...uh...I'm not sure what to say.

 
Que Pasa?

As much as I would like to say that I had a great day, I just can't. The flint in my Bic lighter broke off. I just bought the damn lighter yesterday for Christ's sake. I had to use the burner on the stove to light a cigarette. My mother smokes, but she was at work.

Earlier this evening I had a terrible bout with nostalgia. I can't even begin to describe just how much I long to return to several points earlier in my life. I get so damn frustrated with it. I end up being depressed for hours over it.

I recently purchased a couple of games. One being "Street Fighter IV". I've played almost every one in the series, and none have been this difficult. Even when I adjust the difficulty, it's still a bitch. I going to have to spend a day or two in the "Training Mode" until I feel more comfortable with my skills. Being unemployed, I have the time.

As I'm typing this I'm watching a prison doc on the "National Geographic" station. You may have seen it. It's called "Lockdown". This particular episode takes place in a Mexican prison. I gotta tell ya, it sure makes a person some grateful to lie down at night in a bed under warm covers without having to share a space with five other guys.

They may be criminals, but they're certainly strong mentally being able to face 20+ years in a prison without killing themselves or others. I'll be honest. I'd crack after just one day. I once spent the night in the "Drunk Tank" and that really sucked. Could you imagine being in a prison for 20-30+ years with the thought of others on the outside who are partying, going to movies, and playing video games. What a defeating thought.

Not one day goes by do I not thank God for my living in a civilized country with Medicare and hospitals. Syria's dire situation going on over there is another reason to be grateful for where you live and what you have. Sometimes, I think we all just take this for granted from time to time.

I was once playing chess with a guy named Jonathan McDonald. He's quite possibly one of the best players in the club. He is extremely well read and very insightful. We were playing a game one time and the pieces that are captured are usually placed to the side of the board. From time to time, I'd glance over to the side of the board to look at the pieces. It's just a habit.

Noticing this, Jonathan said to me:.."Jason. Don't look at what's off the board. Look at what's on it.." The reason for this story is that we should focus on what we have, not what we don't.
