never-ending circle of vices.

does anyone else feel the need to have at least one vice on the go at any given time? i am trying to quit cannabis but i can't sleep so i drink to help myself sleep and cos i'm not getting the nicotine craving satisfied, i am smoking cigarettes. i'm beginning to think i would do myself a big favour by just sticking to the cannabis and quitting the drink and ciggies. if i have none of these vices, i will eat like a horse and being fat is simply not an option.

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 😢

What you're describing is a bit of an addictive personality.

What you're perhaps DOING is blaming things for each other instead of taking responsibility and getting outside help...

That post reads like a lot of things are happening TO you rather than being your choice. That's really common, and there's lots of help available. Try googling and looking for some support groups. And I really admire you for wanting to give up cannabis. I know this is the worst case scenario, but I have a beloved brother who was the classic 'think end of the wedge' user and ended up almost dead several times last year after long years of drug usage/abuse.

I work with kids who are DEFINITELY paranoid as a result of their cannabis use.

Even being fat would be better IMHO.

Nicotine patches any good?

"I wish I was one of those people addicted to exercise.."

It's not an addiction. It's a life style .

I have let energy drinks go, although its been a struggle ...

i've been addicted to exercise before and i'm thinking i should get back to that life style cos then you can eat like a horse and it doesn't show.

the only down side of addiction, whatever the vice - even exercise - is the horrible feeling when you're not getting your fix 😢

loosely related fact that was on the telly news: loneliness can be as harmful to your health as smoking or drinking to excess.

satori, why are you so SURE that this crap is beneath me?


what "crap" are you speaking of?


vindication? vengeance?

surely not because any self-respecting scorpio i know is CERTAINLY no "above" vindication and vengeance!

and this brings me PLEASURE, not pain but ONLY because i am feeling RIGHTEOUS!

and whenever i feel RIGHTEOUS, i know NO LIMITS!


my conscience is clear...

taking a stab at analyzing me, are you?


i would be remiss to advise you that undertaking such action will result in a high probability of CLINICAL INSANITY (on your part that is!)


allow me to analyze your analysis if you will...


1. Deep down inside, this IS me..

i don't fake, i just take...it's all mine for the taking the only question is, do i want it bad enough?

i have no regrets because my actions stem from an inner knowledge of righteousness and CONVICTION..

2. i am not "angry" as you say about my posts being flagged, merely compelled by the inescapable universal law of physics and on this earth and subsequently on dxp, i am bound by these laws and uphold them...

to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...

in my case, i should re-write this law to say,

"to every action, there is often a GREATER and UNSURMOUNTABLE reaction.."


once slighted, i take no prisoners UNLESS you start waving the white flag...ONLY THEN will i have compassion because at THAT point and ONLY that point, is when you will have realized your indiscretions..

is that righteous enough for you?


3. and i am only a "dick" if a "dick" is someone with conviction and one who STANDS behind his conviction...

its a matter of principle, satori..it's that simple...


4. and harming other only harms me IF i have no basis for causing the harm...

i generally do not cause harm where no harm is intended...ESPECIALLY in THIS CASE...


5. and i am not so sure that enough is known about the "mysterious satori" yet to draw any conclusions about you "rising above (your) desire for vengeeance"!

the verdict is still out on that one!


6. i think i am nice in real life AND on this board (to the people who are nice to me that is)...


i am no different on here than i am in real life for the most part...this is me and i am just being myself...

now just imagine me in REAL LIFE!

most people don't have the energy to keep up with me, that's for sure...


7. and this is only therapeutic for me in the way that i get to purge my psyche of all of the things running through my head on a daily basis and analyze them and make sense of them...


nothing more, nothing less...but the people

*ahem*


the LADIES on here are nice too! that's also a big incentive!

now in your analysis, if you had SAID that one of my "biggest vices is HOT WOMEN",


i would have said SPOT ON!


(and i STILL am able to tie all of this into the original topic! DAMN i am GOOD!)



good topic, roxanne! i am indeed enjoying myself and purging the old psyche, i am!

*pats roxanne on the back*


i like your new picture too!

people isn't this great? love watching 2 water signs analyse cos secretly have no idea what they're talking about! no really, even in RL 🙂

"I wish I was one of those people addicted to exercise.."
It's not an addiction. It's a life style .

ditto d!ck09 - starts from the mind... gotta program it, so everytime you don't get exercise, it kicks your butt, by the time it's done with you, you find yourself doing 100 reps to it 😉

"it's typically the ones who come here with a facade of being "nice" that I often suspect of being RL dicks"



This appears to be the case in real-life also. People who are overly nice are trying to make a false impression so you won't see the real person who lurks.


A person who is genuinely nice, doesn't have to prove it.

^ true dat... if acting nice or using big words to show intelligence for no valid reason in RL, it's like, erm, what do you want?

fundamental: i had no idea what that was all about but i loved the way you brought it back to the thread 🙂

as for overly nice people, i agree, they are the most suspicious of people and the reason why i prefer to be unpleasant instead. you know where you are with unpleasant people LOL!!

hold on. that isn't what the thread is about!!!

vices. they are different to addictions i think. vices are things that you indulge in that you know you shouldn't whereas addictions take control of you.

i find the idea of clean living quite scarey but i find the idea of being addicted to something scarier.
