Hello gentlemen of RVF! I'm one of those long-time-reader-first-time-poster kind of guys who gets himself insta-banhammered for disregarding the forum guidelines...cuz sometimes I get drunk and/or high and I really REALLY wanna post in many of the threads in "Everything Else" and "Politics and War."
However, I owe a great debt of gratitude to Roosh, ROK, and the incredible men of the RVF for feeding me the many Red Pills. So I'll respect the rules and post in the newbie forum before I get myself in trouble...heh...
I did a quick forum search, although admittedly I was not particularly thorough, but I didn't see any threads specifically related to addiction or substance abuse.....so here goes nothing! Before finding ROK and subsequently the RVF, I was depressed, anti-social, suicidal, and hopelessly addicted to alcohol (mainly booze because it was so easy to get, but honestly I would have done any drug that was put in front of my face without question or hesitation.) After finding this community, I developed a healthy sense of stoic responsibility, self-discipline, and general sobriety (smoking weed or drinking socially but never getting wasted) but the addiction never went away. My game is still pretty weak, but in the event that I do get laid, I tend to lose control of myself just like when I relapse on drugs or alcohol. It throws me all off balance, even though I know I need to be strong and play it cool and not be a bitch, I end up being a whiny simp begging for more....just like another hit, just one more chance to get high I'll do whatever you want just give it to me one more time....
It doesn't matter if it's sex or drugs or alcohol....if I do it just once, I become a slave to it. I recently found out that addiction (particularly alcoholism) runs in my family, and upon further investigation, I read that genetically, I might be predisposed to addiction, known as an "addictive personality." I definitely feel like I struggle with this stuff much more than other people do, but at the same time I believe that I am the one who controls my feelings and desires, not the other way around, and if i relapse its because I didn't maintain my frame. Unfortunately, I often make a fool of myself after a bang, becoming desperate and "thirsty." It's just like getting high, coming down and craving another high. I can typically abstain from drugs and alcohol without any problems, but the sex thing is really bothering me. Inb4 someone says "sex addiction isn't a real addiction."
Maybe some other members can relate to this, and maybe we can have a good discussion about support or solutions. Or maybe all those bullies in grade school were right and I should just give up on girls forever...lol
