    If motivation is the fuel, discipline is the engine perhaps?

    I think I'll do a song and word of the day here too for the time being. Then the surge. Then finish patching up the wounds that may keep us chained with knowledge on how to do so, only you can patch your own wounds at the end of the day. They take time to heal. You can't rush your healing, I've tried. Many times. In many ways.

    Word of the day: Aspire

    It's funny how sick the system is. The system that addicts get fed into when they can't fix themselves before something really bad happens. Their family or the state generally is the one to send them into 'the system' at that point.

    IF the system was built to fail, why isn't it changed? Too much profit.

    Cheers to all the psychological professionals who know what's real and what is outdated fake trash.

    It's safer to be silent as opposed to speak your mind Epictetus said.

    I'm so lucky to have this. Why would I let addiction destroy this? Real addiction is not a choice that's why. Recovery is a choice though. Life is not fair in this sense. Actually it is fair but you would have to get into topics such as karma and past lives to fully understand it.

    Indeed it is. I'm not one to play it safe when there is a Neoliberal war being waged on women and children.

    Science. Brain chemistry. Ever been into a spiritual lab friends?



    I don't watch these videos. They offer me nothing. I just like sharing here. Sharing is caring. Even if you don't want to be hugged. IF you click on this thread you are at the mercy of these posts.

    One can be addicted to virtually anything. Just because your brain gets rewired by a drug or something as powerful as a hard drug like internet pornography doesn't mean you have developed a true addiction. It may just be a bad compulsion and there is a fine line between compulsions and addictions, addictions are essentially just compulsions tied to psychological and emotional trauma.

    This looks neato and really popular based on the thumbs up, gee whiz it seems like everyone just can't stop talking about addiction these days I wonder why that is actually I don't because I understand the societal causes at large:

    This is too cute:



    This thread needs more heart fluff before the vicious onslaught of stone-cold truth.
