Lol!! Great post Dan, couldnt agree more with what you have said there.
I used to have a drug problem, nothing very serious. Mostly marijuana and alcohol, but I did use psychadelics and meth occassionally. Then I realized how addiction works, and I worked my way out of it.
Ditto, except perhaps it was a bit serious on the weed front. Its a very bad way to be in, and also a very, very easy trap to fall into (slowly slowly, like some sort of creeping weed). Seriously Donal, you probably heard before, but do be careful ...
So hey, what did you work out about addiction? I would love to hear your take on it. The way I see it, it undermines your own will. So it helps to say "thats not me thinking I need another smoke, damnit! I will not!"
Anyway, face yourself, stop getting high, lose some damned weight, and watch your happiness go up...OH, the the girl friend thing, I guaran-freakin-tee she'll appear.
Aye!! Said!!
IMO a golden rule is often, you get out what you put in. If you properly and actually will yourself in a certain direction in life, sometimes even if its only in thought/intent, wheels are set in motion which inevitably produce results.
