For my tone I apologize. That is super gay that your local government is trying to bring down your menthol smokes. I use Copenhagen myself and can’t seem to shake the habit.
Okay man and for the government trying to bring them down they have not been brought down yet but they are considering it (a dumbf~~~ idea which comes directly from Puritanism).
All i see professed straight edge people as is the modern Puritans and Puritans have tried to restrict us or take our rights away before (not all Puritans seek to take away our rights but when people take away our rights it is Puritans who do so on a general basis, For example with Islam trying to rid places of what they call sin like booze and pork rinds).
Prohibition was a reality in this country just remember that and it was a result of Christian Puritans trying to restore traditional America (Puritan America) by taking our rights away and when it happened lots of people got hurt even more then the effects of the drugs themselves and it still happens today with the war on drugs. People needlessly die from faulty or bad drugs caused by the war on drugs or refuse to seek treatment when they are punished for it (like those overdosing on Heroin being charged).
I know this, no one here is going to try and tell you not to drink or smoke or eat weed brownies…. if they do, they’re wrong. Your path is yours to walk.
The problem with this is that it all comes down to your personal mission overall. You think they are wrong and doing what they do contradicts it but if they are doing what they want they are following with their missions in life. There is no absolute or magical source saying they are wrong for doing what they do (like for example God pointing his finger at the evil drug users).
I used to push celibacy pretty hard a few years back and the lads here put me in my place. MGTOW may be full of celibate guys who feel the same way but we’re not taking any oaths, if it falls in your lap, hey, take it.
If it is in line with the mission go ahead however if it contradicts your mission then don’t. That is what it really comes down to.
But because of my personality, the drinking would sometimes result in literally insane behavior not just DWI’s, nights in jail, lost jobs and more. I slowly circled the drain, bad event after bad event and then a really bad one happened
You got married while drunk and your wife called the cops on you?
Now being seriously if people say i’m a problem or something it is not the alcohol speaking. I was crazy before touching any drugs however it still depends on the mission and if doing those things contradict it then you must stop them.
However not even me (who’s life is a death trip that could end at any moment) is a fan of getting DUI’s. I do not drive under the unfulence and ill take my chances sleeping on somebodies floor on in alleyway then to drive drunk.
Now that I’m 32, after 5 years with nothing but coffee and Copenhagen, I can say that there are extremely fortunate things that have happened to me that would have never happened when I continued to drink.
The problem with coffee is that alot of people switch their addictions from X to it. I know people who cannot function without their coffee and whom don’t get an effect from it anymore and can increase anxiety/panic attacks in people.
The problem is claiming to escape the evils of X while people still cling to their coffee.
I do not endorse AA but I do not oppose it either, just saying, I’m an outsider who is sober.
Isn’t AA a government imposed religious circle jerk which forces people who have gotten DUI’s or some crime related to alcohol (even minors got drinking or trying to buy) into their program which tries to force the belief that the only path to recovery is to make a belief in a higher power?
From what i read it is just government sanctioned religious bulls~~~ which forces you to adhere to 12 steps which include giving power to some form of deity and asking the deity to fix you and the government entices (or at least did before Atheists rightfully sued them) people into the program to avoid prison or as some condition of parole (minors who get caught if they take the program can avoid jail etc).
So no f~~~ AA as it standards but secular alternatives i have no problem with.
If you can drink and drug without jail, institutions or death (without being fired, living in poverty or self harming) then I say enjoy it
As i said if those things fall in the mission go ahead i don’t give a s~~~ but if they don’t then don’t drink. If self harm is someone’s life i don’t care but if their mission is not to do that sort of thing then they must stop it for the mission.
Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.
