Say Goodbye To Your Addiction Forever. (Junkie Logic)

I am sober 126 days, after about 3 years of struggle, trying to quit. Sobriety is the ultimate high. My mind is working much better. I feel great, and motivated, now that I am not chemically messing with my reward circuits.

Being sober, I recognize my own previous Junkie Logic in my friends. One thing in particular is that they cannot imagine never getting high or drunk again. So they come up with all sorts of tricks and rules to try and moderate.

Only the weekends. Only at parties. Only once per month. I know someone who keeps their stash at another addicts house, to create a barrier, thereby exposing their friend to their addiction, when they end up showing up at their place several times per week. And it's all steaming BULLSHIT. It's Junkie Logic. They all fall off the wagon eventually.

A friend said not long ago that they were going to quit for a month, after having psychotic symptoms. A week later they said they used again, but it's okay, "they have it under control". Another week later they said they had fallen off the wagon big time. That was me for years.

Moderation is a lie. You have to say goodbye to your addiction forever. Sobriety is it's own reward, in my opinion. Life is much better when you don't mess with your brain chemistry. (That includes alcohol, nicotine and junkfood.)

Short Guide To A Healthy Plant Based Diet

A Plant Based Diet is not a Vegan Or Vegetarian Diet. On a Plant Based Diet you get most of your nutrients from plants but allow for a small amount of animal products. If you want to skip the whole explanation, and just know what you have to do: click here for a guide to a complete vegan meal.  Though I would recommend that you inform yourself thoroughly. Fact check this post with reputable sources. I recommend some science based sources at the end of this post. Don't fall for quacks, but you need to immerse yourself in science, to recognize the quacks. If they are selling supplements, or say "everything you learned is wrong", or sell conspiracies about the food pyramid... they are probably full of manure.

Johnny Belgium’s Psychedelic Trip Guide (updated)

I started doing psychedelic drugs late in life at the age of 27 and I regret not doing them sooner. They saved me. I had a miserable life before psychedelics. I was anxious, depressed and antisocial. I was a recluse without a friend in the world. I was arguing with people in my head all day long at work, triggered by stuff on TV. I was a psychological mess. And my first LSD trip was like 20 years of therapy in one afternoon. Click here to read about my 'breakthrough' first acid trip. I have done lots of LSD and some Mushrooms. I haven’t done DMT, Ayahuasca, Mescaline,... LSD is my vice. I did MDMA twice and it made me very relaxed but also it made me very sick the day after. People often get depressed after taking XTC. I also recommend staying away from uppers or downers and sticking to psychedelics. No cocaine, no speed, no benzos or opiods like heroin or fentanyl, ... They are not good drugs. They will eff up your life. Stick to tripping if you are going to partake in drugs. ...

Why Human Overpopulation Is Real

If you discuss human overpopulation online, you can expect to be called a Malthusian, an ecofascist, a racist, anti-civilization, or anti-human. People will also often tell you to kill yourself. What is more pro-human than telling people to kill themselves?  I reject the notion that I am a Malthusian. Because I haven’t read Malthus. A guy who died almost 200 years ago is not the reason I believe in overpopulation. Yet people insist I am a Malthusian, and Malthus was wrong, therefore I am wrong. Have they read Malthus themselves? Unlikely.  Here's a tip, if you counter a statement of fact with "you are a..." it is probably an 'ad hominem fallacy', also known as 'a personal attack'. I think there are two ways in which we are overpopulated. One is a matter of values: We are eradicating nature and for some nature is sacred. The other is the question of whether we can sustain our numbers. For me personally, I see no point of bringing a child onto an essentially...
