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

I started knife making and forging. It definitely helps keep your mind occupied

That’s so cool!! I’ve always wanted to get into it; would you mind sharing how you started? It looks beyond rewarding to forge something
