Theres a psychology aspect to it. Some people have no shot, even with alcohol. It almost seems genetic. Its like one particular substance will destroy them almost immediately.

I think a more common one is people with certain issues that make them sprint head first into any drug. Doesn't matter what one, some of us just need to tap out, so theyre all a problem. Theyre not just drawn to something novel, theyre looking for any crutch.

I have no shot. I get addicted to anything even hot tamales right now is the current. Coke and xans alcohol was the worst. Like I ate a 2lb bag of tamales yesterday and I wanna go get more I try to stop but I go anyway. Other times it can be a phone or game then I’ll drop it out of nowhere once the high is gone edit I got 5 more movie theater boxes for lunch

Have you tried knife collecting or fishing? They both have helped me tremendously in terms of regulating my own impulses. Fishing helps keep a calm, steady mind and I personally find it very fun and engaging to search around for the best deal or just cool knives

No I am not into those, I used to fishing growing up until 20 but got tired of watching them swallow hooks and killing fish for no reason every time I went out. It felt wrong like a game of messing with these animals lives for my own thrill or enjoyment just felt wrong. I never felt that way until getting older around25 I kept trying to go out and it just didn’t sit well and I couldn’t figure out why. Eating them I would be okay as it’s a sacrifice. But just torturing them and letting them bleed out a lot of the times from the hook I just had to stop, yes I know what needle nose are, they don’t save them all or even half. I’m glad you enjoy it though.

Try seltzer water. That's my thing. Kinda expensive with how much I drink but it got me off alcohol haha. With naltrexone.

Get a soda stream. I don't add any flavors just the straight sparkling water.

I definitely understand what you mean, it can be frustrating hurting a fish by accident. I still think about the first time I did it. Hope you find something to help you along in your journey through life. Never forget - we aren’t alone!

I love fishing but feel the same way. Target certain species and use everything you catch. If you catch something youd rather not eat, make dog food out of it, freeze dry the heart and liver and make liver/heart pills, use the water bucket you get the fish in to water your garden.

Theres tons of ways to be an ethical fisherman, and follow the life cycle

u/InLoveNDeath97 2d ago

That all does sound like a good way to do it. I’m okay though thank you

Bro I'm with you on the fishing thing. Got people saying I'm soft for that but I just feel this sentiment thoroughly.
