How can I turn my life around?

I feel depressed and worthless and I have developed 3 addictions: alcohol, chewing tobacco, and porn. What are some ways I can turn my life around?

Most people have those feelings at one time or another-life is not a smooth ride all the time. If these feelings persist over a period of time I would seek professional help.


If it is just a period of uncertainty or of having the blues sit down and decide what you want out of life or at the least some major goals that you would like to accomplish in the next 6-12 months. Then work each day towards accomplishing them and as you do so you will feel better about yourself.

Sit down write your goals down and stick to it. Getting a mentor or friend who has the same issues to fix is helpful for moral support. After a month if you're still not going anywhere do yourself a favor and enter rehab. Obviously you aren't capable of changing yourself and need external help.

read the Book of Pook, buy some nicotine gum, maybe turn to God, and socialize more

maybe adopt a new hobby

Find less detrimental vices to replace them.

only drink warm beer.
only chew (nicotine) gum.
only watch gay porn.

OR

you could just limit yourself to engaging in those addictions say two nights a week. the other five nights you should take up new hobbies, like jogging.

I don't know what to tell you. I am in my thirties and I still think life sucks big donkey.

I have tried it all, sex, drugs, etc. And here I am typing away on the internet.

But at least Ku won the orange bowl and is looking pretty good from a basketball standpoint. That is something to look forward to.

Good luck I guess and keep us posted.

No easy answer, really. I started just getting out of the house, just walking for an hour a day, or riding my bike. Now I run two hours a day (I run pretty slow, but what the h*ll). Just getting out of the house, getting some air, and endorphins, makes a huge difference. My life may not be great, but I do feel better about myself.

It's all about replacing one habit with another, it takes time, and it's not easy, but it's possible.

God used 7 days to create the world and everything else

why not used the same concept for a new start on Life

Seven days of complete shut off
1. shut off alcohol by throwing away all alcohol
2. shut off chewing tobacco by burning all tobacco
3. shut off porn by deleting all porn, unplug your monitor, and everything
and put your computer in attic

option 4. shut off TV, newspaper and magazines.

Now in its place, Live Life you were meant to Live.
The Life God wanted you to Live, an abundant Life.

Is it possible for everyone to play guitar? I thought teaching my self how to play would be a great hobby but is it just physically impossible for some people to play?

Your addictions are telling you, that you can never have enough of what you dont want.

Ask yourself these questions:

What do I truely want to feel emotionally?

What is my life purpose? And are these addictions helping me achieve them?

Are my current thoughts about myself making me feel good?

Am I simply living in the present moment?

i think it is possible for everyone to play the guitar, how good you are is the key. but i started playing about a year and a half ago and music is now my life. you sound a lot like me, i use to be addicted to porn and im really confused about life and why im here. i don't have that many friends and have never had a girlfriend. like somebody said, i've turned to God. its the only way i know because i feel really depressed all of the time. i just pray that he'll make things better for me one day. i guess you're suppose to experience these things when you are a teen but there is a limit. good luck to you and i hope everything works out for the both of us.

Start going to the gym 3x a week, eating healthy, and take your vitamins. It will be difficult to make the change at first but you'll look back 3 months later and won't believe how far you've come.
