Addiction

Why are the overwhelming majority of people such weak willed faggots who are driven to addiction, be it food, drugs, whatever, at the very slightest sign of adversity?

Why is it that nobody can man up and cope with failure anymore without resorting to the bottle?

I'm utterly repulsed by addicts. I regard alcoholics, druggies, """recreational""" stoners, and fat people the same way I regard the dogshit on the bottom of my shoe.

instant gratification
did this really warrant a thread?

At least cigs keep me skinny

nicotine hates fat, it literally eats it

I have really weird addiction cycles. Basically I'll get addicted to something new for a week, then never want to touch it again. Immune to mental addiction. I still get hit with physical "withdrawals" but I haven't met one I couldn't cold turkey. Basically if I make a rule I can follow it indefinitely.

Not really it just suppresses appetite so you eat less, so long as you down some whey a few times a day you'll look mad shredded

gluttony is not only enabled but encouraged in America and probably many other western cunts
id also argue that vidya and porn are vices roughly as destructive/time wasting as weed

people have had vices since there were people

also fuck captcha, took me 7 goddamn captchas to post this

>its just willpower bro y r u so weak
people have different susceptibilities to different drug addictions. some people need their drugs more than oxygen

use legacy captcha faggot

It literally is just willpower. You always have a choice in everything. Don't lie to yourself.

prob won't believe me but i've been on Veeky Forums since atleast 2011 and i dont know how to do this

unless it comes with 4chanx then i wont bother anyway

how can you see such a significant difference in brain chemistry and think its willpower?

>You always have a choice in everything

Why aren't you 8'6" bearmode then? Why do you choose to be a DYEL manlet?

They chose to fuck their brain structure through their own choices. In any case, even if saying no to something feels hard, you can still do it.

Damn bro. Being stupid is one thing. But stupid and mean...and proud of it? C'mon. Good luck.

top right - settings.
no addons required, it's the old firefox extensions that's now built into the site.

>I was created in the womb a drunk, heroin addicted nympho

lmao what are you even trying to say brainlet

You cope with anger and a superiority complex, they cope with cigarettes.

...

If there's dogshit on the bottom of your shoe, then odds are it got there by accident. People are the same way.

And you're addicted to making shitty threads.

Having been a weak-willed faggot (and very much aware I have the capacity to return to that hence discipline and motivation from now on) I can honestly say that a large part of it comes down to lacking personal responsibility and being unable at some point to realise that every action has a consequences.

Match that up with painful events in your life that lead to a need for escapism and yeah. Not a good combo.

I honestly think that teaching kids a healthy mindset and philosophy at an early age would help, but for that to happen we'd need to embrace those values entirely as a society, which sadly is never going to happen.

On the positive side, you can see it as a kind of darwinism. Those that get it early on are successful, those that fuck up and learn to control themselves can live healthy lives and the rest well, just breed. Okay, fuck the darwinism idea. Shit, society is fucked. Nvm.

Addiction is natures answer to weakwilled faggots. Its supposed to provide motivation.

nothing wrong with a couple of drinks from time to time desu

>tfw do both

kek

I cringe every time when people on this board think they are particularly disciplined because they lift weights and gave up booze from a while.
It's literally the equivalent of a fat fedora neckbeard bragging and being euphoric about his katana.

a lot of the time you have to fuck up your life and make mistakes in order to move forward

Try amphetamines and poverty for skelly aesthetics

>cant put phone away for more than 10 minutes

>think depression can be beat by "just b urself"

OP is a normie, he's making a fool of himself with ignorance

They don't do it to cope with failure or adversity you fucking twat. They do it to temporarily overcome the bleak hopelessness of the meaningless charade we call life.

I don't care to read whole thread, sorry. Just want to add my two cents, to give OP perspective: Addiction is more than willpower. Recent studies shows that there addiction is more of a psychological situation (i.e. being an outcast) than actual addictive effect of drugs. That being said - if you've never been addicted to anything in your life it probably means you are and have been in healthy social circle - I;m very glad for you because of that. Have a nice day!

I like how you realized mid-writing that you were going nowhere with that comparison. It's kinda sad truth, though, that society is fucked. Humans will be better off, if we let natural selection back in our society. Overpopulation will solve itself out with something like this, too. But... it will be not "humanitarian" to do so.
