How can the former be true, if the second one is? Or you mean just for you?
This instantly made me smile. I love really niche enthousianisms. This is like the wild Dekotora truck scene, or one of them other wacky Japanese car styles.
I just mean I lived a wild life of living on the edge and always tempting fate. It came with running, scrapping and learning how to be resourceful. Conquering the fiend that is drug addiction and learning to live a calmer life made me a strong person and I would not trade that for anything
Sorry, didn't mean for it so sound so harsh, judgemental or deterministic. Your views as you hold them, as you are, are valid. I'm just really wondering how you hold that view.
No. Short overlapping messages. Weird timing.
I do not think I got the addictive behavior or my taste for the thrills in life off my back. Drugs were fun but lead to nowhere's ville (ruined relationships, ruined teeth, bad for the body) I am very anti-drug today and advise anyone I know, young or old to learn to abstain. I have clinical depression and was always looking for something to make my head feel better. It has always been my tendency, when finding something I liked to delve in head first and then just bombard myself with it. I did it with drugs, later I learned to do it with finances. You could even say I do it today with shiny. My juice collection in the cheese section of my fridge would be the makings of a small shop (and most of the time I DIY) Perhaps everyone here in the shiny thread shares a bit of this obssession behavior and this is why we are all here and can relate to each other
Bravo to you for getting sober.OMG I so hear you, obsessive, compulsive and all or nothing, a feast or a famine ... with everything! I don't seem to have any understanding of the art of moderation, I seem to suffer from the disease of more.
Frozen chickens on special in the supermarket.....buy tons, can't fit them in freezer, end up giving them away to family and neighbours, see a new breed of flower I love...can't buy just one...have to get one of each colour. Start running, start doing marathons including the New York Marathon, Nov 7th 2010, Perfumes....loved French perfume since I was a kid, have a ridiculous amount of them, god the list goes on but the absolute worst is the vape gear I have. I can honestly say I have enough of a stash to last me the rest of my life, everything, mods, tanks and coils, nicotine and flavours, PG/VG ohhhhh boy. And I live in a country where it's all readily available and legal, how obsessive is that? LOL.
However it's way less harmful than the booze and drugs I used to use, clean and sober since 1999 thank god.
thank you for sharing and I think all of us in here (or most) suffer from the 'give me MORE' tendencies. Some of us in the drug world, some in the booze and some in just whatever captures our fancy
this is the one I got. I like it once I learned I did not have to wrap the coil around the post. I wanted it to have the Dwarv name on it (getting senile and wanted to look down at the name so I could remember what I was vaping on HA) but sadly it is unmarked.
HA. I am a life long 12 stepper. I still go (although not during Covid but do them via ZOOM)@chanelvaps If life has taught me anything about myself it’s that I’m going to need more than 12 steps.
