  • The only way to know is to finally find the trigger and if the “addiction” goes away as a result. I found out a few things about myself that helped me to kick my desires that were running me ragged. Definitely wasn’t an addiction. Now finding out that I have other things on the other side that are keeping me from being able to be completely balanced. We are very complex beings.










  • Happened to me with World of Warcraft. Went on vacation and I was banned when I got back. Put a lot of money into that. Logged in a few years ago and all of account stuff was deleted. Gotta love when you’re erroneously targeted.

    All I was doing was going to a vender in the wild and buying thread for some silver and then selling for gold on the auction because high level players were lazy and didn’t want to go find it. I was low level and had a ton of gold. It was fun. But unfortunately there are people that follow that pattern and are breaking rules. I matched it and got banned.


  • I’d argue that drugs can help the individual do things opposite their current nature. To shake them out of the box they’re currently stuck in. Some people can see how the way they feel doesn’t match their current situation on their own steam. Some need drugs to help them focus on that. The questions we don’t ask ourselves when that connection is noticed are the ones that have the strongest possibility of allowing us to change our views and remove that which is unhelpful from our lives so we can be the best version of ourselves.

    I’ve been noticing in my own life lately that things are going great on all fronts and yet I’m miserable. I had not paid close enough attention until I had to bring up the discussion of how our language (literal words) shape our perception of reality with my kids. Now I’m seeing why I’m mostly miserable because I’m actually hearing what words I use daily. Language shapes us more than we realize.

    Concentration skills gained through meditation and self contemplation can help us without drugs. Though I’d argue that drugs are often key to breaking cycles so we have the energy less spread out and we can focus on the issues we actually have. There is a time and place for them. They cannot become a crutch.
