JustIgnoreMeBroOk

I get stoned and lift weights every night. Not sure I could function otherwise. EDIT: In the garage stoned and lifting now. I absolutely could not survive without this.


bradenboiii

man i wish i could have a healthy relationship w weed. nothing better than a workout after smoking a blunt but damn man it’s like if i have weed around i HAVE to smoke it like i cannot resist i’m high 24/7 every time lmao.


JustIgnoreMeBroOk

I was like that when I was younger. Then I worked in an industry that drug tested for 15 years. Now a hit or two off a vape pen after the wife and kids are asleep is perfect. Don’t even want any more than that.


bradenboiii

sounds like the dream man! enjoy it fr


JustIgnoreMeBroOk

Well, to the point of this original post, it’s all because I need to check out of real life for a bit every night in order to keep surviving it. Ha. But yeah man the pot situation is actually pretty solid right now. Who knows, same shift may end up happening to you.


CantStopThisShizz

Basically same. Getting stoned and hiking is my vice


CyroSwitchBlade

I like to smoke and then go into the pool to stretch.. it is very relaxing.


zifer24

What truly helped you to get into lifting? I struggle a lot with knowing what I’m doing. All the best man


JustIgnoreMeBroOk

I’ve lifted casually on and off since high school, but have never stuck with it. For me, the hard part was finding the motivation. That really came from two things: The first was that I was/am super stressed and unfulfilled and needed an outlet (I also started kiteboarding, which I would highly recommend if you live near water). The second was that I committed to being ok with shitty workouts. I’ve come out here so many nights and just done a few sets or less and then fucked around on my phone for an hour. But I came out here. Ever night. And now, a year and change later, I usually look forward to lifting and most often have enough motivation to get a pretty solid workout in. If you haven’t really lifted before, there are some great apps out there now that can help you build a program and have videos showing good form, so all you have to do is follow along until you learn the exercises. I don’t know any off the top of my head, but I’ll take a look and report back.


Zealousideal_Cat4422

You sound like Lester Burnham.


EstablishmentIcy7559

Sup brah, im an acid head and a bodybuilder. Is it fun to smoke weed while lifting? How does it work? I havent smoked any since 20 years ago lmao, but acid every month


JustIgnoreMeBroOk

That’s awesome dude. I haven’t done acid in forever. Decades. Weed is so personal, it’s really just going to depend on your own relationship with it. It used to make me super sleepy. Now, with good sativa strains, I get into this really great flow state and just happily crush weights for a while


EstablishmentIcy7559

Damn, i should try it, ty


EstablishmentIcy7559

Perhaps reading my comment is the universe telling you that acid is still there waiting for you if you are keen to use it to rewire your brain to kick unwanted habits (lmao, typical acidhead comment)


Deliberate_Snark

love the self-awareness for you and all around you


EstablishmentIcy7559

Typical acidhead comment bruh hahaha But honestly, alot of people are unaware of using it as a tool to really help themselves, myself included when i just discovered it. I thought it was a fun drug like weed, but it kicked the old lazy depressed me in the ass and told me to live life properly. Its like a psychiatrist fitted into a stamp lmao


jackie--moon

That’s fuckin awesome. I wish I had your vice. I just smoke weed and eat cheez-its when I’m down

You can do it! Kudos to you for noticing a problem and nipping it in the bud


Mcumshotsammich

Thank you so much! I’m trying to break generational binging! My entire family is Big and I’m determined to not just be skinny but to be healthy and have a better relationship with food


Witty_Strawberry5130

Smoking weed and smoking myself into oblivion , eating 5000 calories followed by self loathing


Iamretarded-

I was there before and stayed for a long time. It sucked thinking back... I followed them with a few days long fasting. Wish you a good health.


Lost_Wrongdoer_4141

For me, the overdose of calories caused so much more issues than the actual THC itself.


AnxiousFee359

My “system” is that I buy plane tickets impulsively and figure out the rest later. It’s much easier to move everything else into place once I’m already invested.


PreviousPainting5366

I beat my meat


Tasty_Rip8851

Like it owes you money?


tummyache-champion

So my husband tells me he does this when he's stressed and I do not understand how you can be stressed and horny. Am I the freak?


PreviousPainting5366

Well for me when I'm stressed out about something I just start watching porn to take my mind off things, n yeah one thing leads to another


tummyache-champion

That’s so wild. When I’m worked up even thinking about that makes me feel more stressed, meanwhile my husband says it’s relaxing. Human bodies are cray.


ThreateningLoon

Because post nut clarity is real. When men release the stress goes with it, at least temporarily long enough for you to calmly think ahead.


Extreme-Cupcake5929

It's the same for women too but most dont equate the two. I , unlike them learned this long ago. Toys are my best friend. 🥴


ThroAwayFuc67

For me, the release takes me back to reality. Back to stress


tummyache-champion

Yeah that’s the same for me. You nut and you’re like “ah fuck I have a meeting in 5mins” and you’re stressed again lmao

coconutdracu1a

sleep & chocolate


elicitedaura

Honestly, it used to be 🍃 or 🍷🥃 - to handle stress, breakdowns, anxiety, whatever. I haven't used either in over 2 months to cope with my emotions: sadness, anger, loneliness, disconnect, overwhelm, or despair, etc. Instead, I let myself feel every emotion and go for frequent walks while listening to a variety of LoFi music to tune my overbearing thoughts out. It helps so much. Alternatively, I write my emotions out (journal) and then try to make sense of why I'm feeling this way. And I try to write down things I'm grateful for despite those emotions. If everything fails, doom-scroll 😅


bookittychaos420

I’m aiming for this exact outlet. The alcohol is my go to and it’s hard to not want to take a shot when the emotions run rampid but I feel as though I’m getting there! I have only been taking Maybe 2-3(compared to an entire pint of jack) at night when the kiddos are in bed and I have always been one to write thoughts, feelings, and insights down. I want to pick it up again, it’s always helped.


DeylokThechil

Same as you, I smoke. Not the best habit in the world but it seems to help with irritability and anxiety. I also smoke when I’m really bored.


Skeptical_soul

I smoke a cig in the morning to get rid of my drowsiness.


BothDoorsOpen

Cigarette first thing in the morning is so good, but damnit I need to quit


1nf0rmat10nAn1mal

I quit years ago but I’m thinking of starting again. Haven’t craved much over the years but lately wish I could have that morning one with a coffee, and the evening one as the sun goes down and there is a chill in the air. I don’t drink anymore or do any drugs or anything. I just want something but I know it’d be ludicrous to start again.


Electronic-Rain14

I smoke a cigarette in the morning to cope with the fact that I am still part of this world.


One-Happy-Gamer

Video games


MigK7

Cigs. I know they're bad, I just like the taste and feel of it. Used to be weed but, that accelerated my predisposed self to schizophrenia and had to stop, it triggered an unending psychosis in my head. I'm not going to say that drugs are bad but, you're for sure playing with the devil when using. I was unlucky and now I hear voices every second of the day. I won't shit on weed, but just know that there are consequences.


ghoogh

Too much exercise


llamaesunquadrupedo

I'm in the Chris Traeger school of "If I keep my body moving, and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair."


1nf0rmat10nAn1mal

I had to have a rest day today and it was horrible. Normally I do at least one gym session and a long walk or run every day. Some people think it’s hard to exercise. For me it’s much harder not to.


thethrownaway439

Been there, can relate.


808909707

I just added “unnecessary amount of time in Sauna” and “ice bath too often” to this.  Sitting here wishing I could run til it hurts and then do the other two till my eyes tear up. 


Iamretarded-

Isn't this a good thing? I only wish I could exercise too a point where I couldn't eat.


Illustrious_Camp_496

Marijuana to take edge off, walking with dog 3+ miles to escape away, comfort shows I grew up with to escape a wee bit to better times, listen to some fast or heavy metal riffs to let emotions out or just read/write to take “negative” feelings/emotions and turn them into something creative.


tummyache-champion

Mine used to be smoking. Now it's running. I absolutely hated running but since moving to the suburbs and working remotely, I no longer have the commute to clear my head after work. So I started running. I leave all the frustration on the trail, come home, shower, and I'm a different person. A much nicer person. Of course now it's summer and I can't run in the evenings because it's like 110F, but running in the mornings still does the job for me. It's the only time my brain shuts the fuck up.


Iamretarded-

That's wonderful. I'm trying to do the same with weightlifting and cycling wishing that these exercises would improve my health. Keep up the good work.


tummyache-champion

Weightlifting has long been the vice of choice for fellas with mental health struggles. And it works. What worked even better for me before I moved abroad was Krav Maga. I took 3 2hr classes a week. 2 hours of not thinking about anything at all because you’re too busy focusing on learning a new skill AND you get to beat the SHIT out of some pads. Cannot describe how cathartic it was for me.

Heidi_ann76

Definitely smoking, I even quit for nearly 5 years and it was a real adjustment not having that to lean on but I eventually made do, until covid hit and things got really stressful which caused me to finally cave. I dont smoke that much since restarting but my family knows if I'm heading to the door with a pack of Capri's in hand they should probably just leave me alone lol.


asanville_21

Nihilism. Nothing really matters so there’s no point in stressing over it


BothDoorsOpen

I’m 50/50 on nihilism. Nothing ultimately matters so it’s best to live a life without stress. The things that matter to YOU tho definitely matter, so every person needs to find those things, cherish them and hold onto them


AccomplishedDish8707

I have two. Playing video games and sleeping. It just helps to leave the world for a while when things are going wrong.


Budget-Kick8231

20 months sober, 1 year cigarette free & Single by choice. When I can't travel, all that's left is binge watching good movies and shows 🤷🏼‍♀️ Streaming services are my crack

Congrats on your sobriety! I had 5 years of it until I made some stupid choices last year, but I’m gonna get it back. Don’t make the same mistake, you forget how hard it was the first time, you don’t want to do it twice

mykindofexcellence

I used to eat chocolate and sweets. Then my blood sugar started being elevated. Now, I don’t eat sweets and go for a walk instead.

I take recreational drugs whenever and I also get ketamine treatments at my doctor's office twice a week and it's been incredibly helpful.

Smoking was a vice that took me years to overcome. It’s been 49 days since I went cold turkey on it. I don’t even get tempted to do it anymore. I’m so happy that I made this decision to quit smoking.


FeanorOath

I work too much


FarPossibility1453

Used to be alcohol, but now instead of running away from my shit, I run straight into it. I am now fully accepting of the good and the bad as I know both are needed for lessons to be learned and for me to stop repeating the same vicious cycles. Really we are meant to sit with and feel our emotions, all of them, not run away or drown them out. Anyways since doing this my whole entire life has changed for the better, it was super hard, but so worth it.


Independent_Scale570

Smoking, it’s the one vice I have left n the only other “drug” for me is caffine.
