Serious Is that short term pleasure really worth it?

[Profligate]

I relapsed today to my old habits after 5 weeks of mostly clean life and while this night is gonna be a blast (probably) I ask myself is this short term pleasure really gonna be worth feeling like shit for a week or quite possibly weeks?

This is the question I encourage to ask everyone to themselves before they indulge in their vice. Is that dopamine rush for a few hours or minutes or even seconds really gonna be worth it?

What would my life be like if I got rid of things that make me feel weak? What could I do that I would do to make my life better?

Drinking makes me feel great tbh. I'd rope if I had to be sober all the time

Ok but is drinking a good long term strategy? Perhaps there's something that makes you feel just as good as being drunk that is good for you?

Being high on weed. But that's more expensive. Also I dont plan to live past like 40 at the most.

I dont think its worth it at all.

Being high on weed isn't good for you at all, you're just making yourself forget about all the bullshit in your life instead of doing something that makes your burden easier to carry.

What kind of addiction are you even talking about? And if you already ask like that you know it's not worth it, the question is are you strong and determined enough to refrain from it?

stop trying to make pleasure sound like a bad "sinful" thing

There's a difference between bad and good pleasure. I'm talking about the degenerate kind of pleasure that makes you forget instead of working towards the easing of burden of Being.

degeneracy doesn't exist

I beg to differ. That's a very nihilistic view of things.

I know what you mean man. I'm working on it.

Those sorts of pleasure are never worth it, they only feel like they are in the present moment. Which is what makes them so irresistible.

 

[Deleted member 6470]

Not worth it imo.
Why you relapsed ?

Indeed they require no effort. That's why they're so attractive.

I don't really understand why. My best guess is that is felt like rewarding myself after a week of wageslaving and I did it the wrong way.

 

[Deleted member 6470]

Maybe you'd do it better next time ?
You'd learn from your mistake ?
Sound super cliché but still.

Yup. This is pretty much how I feel except the porn part. Fuck porn.

I was on nofap for a week and I break it.
What kills me, it's to see muh dead dick the first days.
But after that week, I got an erection, wild dream but I still fapped.
The irony when I fap I don't feel bad but if I don't, I'm depressed.

cope or rope tbh

 

[gstvtrp]

What could I do that I would do to make my life better?

Have a loyal, cute, young, fun gf.

Porn is the culprit not masturbation contrary to popular belief. I actually feel more sexually aggressive after whacking off, just don't overdo it.

In your dreams bruv. What I mean by that is what could I do that I would to do to ease my suffering?
