The man @jimjam is clean and sober around five years I believe......
He's also shared his story of successfully pulling himself out of the addiction pit here with the
intention of helping other men. That ain't pathetic.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

DMT - the clear scientific explanation of "near death experiences". After reading 7 books on the topic, which provided absolutely zero evidence of an afterlife that wasn't purely anectodal, I was appalled that scientists making the claim of "heaven" didn't address the elephant in the room...DMT
DMT is the reason that a Christian from America, a Jew from Israel, a Hindu from India could all report the same visions of light and beautiful colors during their brush with death. The DMT drug/hormone produces universal halluscinations of pretty colors in the same way Diphenhydramine (benadryl) produces halluscinations of spiders in just about everyone who takes it in high dosages.

The 'life flashing before your eyes' when you die has been attributed to the brain having about ten minutes worth of oxygen left before it dies. During that time, it plays you a nice montage film of your life, a little entertainment for you on your way out.
It#d be nice to see big boobs flashing before my eyes before I die.
mdma, xtc, weed, coke, shrooms, lsd, 2cb, salvia, ketamine, nitrous oxide.
Haven't done anything since I did coke about 18 months ago. Used to smoke weed every day before that.
One time I did xtc, coke and ketamine all at the same time (though small doses of each), and after I rolled the joint I had to give it to the guy next to me to light because I felt my heart would explode out of my chest if I raised my arms up to light it myself.
Salvia is by far the whackiest thing I've ever done in my life. It's like god just takes you out of this little box which we call our universe. I thought I had woken up from a dream (life) and wanted nothing more than to go back to the dream.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I got poison ivy. Doc gave me some kind of steroid. Roid rage is real. And it makes you hungry af too. Same thing with my brother. We were both just super hyper, angry, and hungry all the time. I had 4 chipotle burritos and was gonna eat a fifth but my dad told me to stop lol. I was 13. Not a typical experience cuz I refuse to do anything else. That other stuff will make me schizophrenic if I did. That's what happened to my uncle at least, and we've got similar tendencies. Now he's a vegetable.

Thanks @Reykhel. 11 years 4 mos clean and sober after a 15 year drinking and drugging career.
I can say this. Booze and dope are not worth it. At all. If you can handle it, fine. Habitually will cause all make and manner of problems vand drama.
Again...if you think you have a problem, no matter how seemingly miniscule, you most likely do.
I've done them all at one time or another. And despite my affinity for acid, I can say that at no time did my life improve because of it

The only thing I haven't done is heroin and I would like to do that at some point.
Though nothing beats good coke.
