Sobering up

I've attempted to kick the stoner habit for a long fucking while now.. And every time, I go through the "detox" (fuck science, I'm telling you, I'm physically ill for a couple of days and it's not just in my head) and just as shit is starting to feel better again, something fucked up happens that throws my life out of balance. Then I go back to getting high again, because I just CBA to deal with whatever's come up while I'm trying to straighten my shit out. Too much food on the plate, imo. So now I've been getting high again for a couple of months and it's time to try and kick it again. Damn my weakness. Whenever I quit I go into this mode where I just feel like I wanna live, you know? I wanna work out and move to be healthy, I wanna eat right, I wanna study, I wanna improve at things I do. I feel curious, excited, thrilled. Emotions I don't often get in periods where I smoke all day. Then something fucks me over and I start thinking shit like "okay, I'll just smoke for a few weeks till things settle and then quitting won't be such a problem". As if lol. It's just weak shit. I guess all this shit is obvious, but it's taken me time to accept it cause I've been in denial about it. It's just that I try to find some way to relieve pain that I should be taking. I just don't face problems head on like I should.

So right now I'm drinking by my lonesome and refreshing a news website. There is nothing going on on Facebook or here, and I am so god damn emo atm. The situation with my girlfriend is... I don't know. It's my first real relationship. I'm not very experienced, but it feels like maybe it'll work out. I don't care much for it at the moment. I've decided to focus on my own life more now. I started playing volleyball lol. It's fun, it's something to do, and I'm meeting new people etc. I'm mapping out a plan to start studying again. I've been focusing on the girlfriend-thing so much I've neglected things like having fun and going out. So I'm doing that again, and the whole thing with the girlfriend suddenly feels less important. We'll be spending lots of time together throughout Christmas. I'll feel it out but unless it feels right I'm gonna end it. To be honest, it's not like I wanna have kids next year or the year after even... But I'm ready to settle for someone.

Then, the biggest work I put in last year was changing my diet. I used to eat potato chips like daily. It was a night snack, it tasted fucking great, and it became a mental addiciton. Having no candy or potato chips to munch on at night time started feeling like an actual problem lol. So I'm eating healthy again, and I've slimmed down. The flabby skin on my body is starting to tighten up. Now is the time to start working out.

This is my thread. I simply had nothing to do, and some emotions I wanted to get out. I'm not really actually emo, I would be happy if I found a good TV show to watch. Something light and funny. Ideas? I've seen Community and Modern Family.

I recommend How I Met Your Mother, Arrested Development, Happy Endings, Fresh Meat, and Eastbound & Down. Fresh Meat is a UK show with only 8 episodes but it's awesome.

It seems like you know what's needed to be done. So just do it. People who are in a relationship for too long lose a sense of self because they've been a collective for so long. It's important that you have things you enjoy doing without her.

I bet if you end the relationship you'll want it back in 2 or 3 months. It's way too easy to take what you have for granted but when they're gone it sucks. Also, if i remember correctly your chick is a little out of your league so do the smart thing. Lol

Workaholics and the league are some very funny shows

I knew I was forgetting a couple. The League and Workaholics are fantastic. I've been trying to get the "let's get weird" chant to catch on but it hasn't. I still do it when I'm drunk regardless.

How I Met Your Mother is fucking brilliant. Especially given your relationship woes. Ted's search is pretty easy to identify with. and NPH will never fail to crack you up.

God damn. You are pathetic.
Ouch. I'm not even gonna resort to a lowly response because I guess you're right, but damn. Glad to hear you are great in every way.

Also, if i remember correctly your chick is a little out of your league so do the smart thing. Lol
Haha damn. It's not like I don't know these reactions would come, I just didn't expect them in my face :p Yeah, I'm not so worried about the league thing, I'm sure it could work somehow. But I don't think I, me, and her, is the combination that will break the rule of thumb. So yeah. Maybe I should. I'll check out those two shows though.

I'm leaning more towards like than dislike, but I'm not crazy about How I Met Your Mother. I don't know why. Maybe I should watch it from the start.

And the volleyball thing is just something to get started with doing something physical. I started doing push-ups and sit-ups as well lol. Eventually I wanna do something a little more high maintenance. Maybe work out in a studio, or maybe something else like longer jogs and hikes. I don't know. It's just to improve my physical health in general for starters, but I'm feeling better about myself as I keep doing it. And also, there is a cute girl I work with who also plays volleyball so... I guess I'd be lying if I said I don't like watching her in tights :)

Yeah, you totally should, it'll make a lot more sense and you'll catch all the in-jokes and references to previous shit.

Wow, Preach hate-fest. I don't think you're pathetic :p
Just with problems. It will sound crazy but instead of thinking and analyzing things just do something NOW. Not tomorrow. Just do shit, get shit done. Start a blog about your progress or spam the shit out of a streethop thread, whatever makes you commited :p

^I call it like it is. That usually makes me an asshole. I don't care. Your problem is that you attempt things. Never attempt anything. Just do it

Funny, I've thought the exact same thing every time I read one of your posts.
Don't even get me started on you. Let's just say that if life were a video game you would've gotten game over a decade ago

Here's what I'm gonna do: Move to another city, get into working in psychiatry (which I can with no schooling for minimum wage), and finishing up my high school diploma eheh. I got 3 months notice when I'm quitting my job so I can't do it today or next week, but it's happening. I need a profession.

I've done more in my life time than you could possibly imagine. When you get to my age, you'll sit there and think "god I was a real fucking faggot when I was younger".

Oh man. Just about the only shows I watch on TV are comedies. I recommend Archer if you're into animated ones. The IT Crowd is pretty good too. It's British and on Netflix and that was actually where I first read/heard about it thanks to Synful's queue. I checked it out, all the seasons, and it's pretty funny.

If you're looking for British shows, I personally liked Little Britain and Green Wing. Going way back, Black Adder was pretty good too.

Back to American shows, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is pretty good. Someone mentioned Arrested Development, that's a very clever show, full of entendres which just adds to the craziness.

Have you seen the return of Beavis and Butthead? It's the same, weird humor, but the stuff they make fun of is more modern. So I enjoy it more. A lot jokes are made on clips of MTV shows. Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, etc.

If you want British shows I really like The Inbetweeners.

I forgot to talk about your v ball thing. I go play all the time at this indoor place, $2 you call its, shit is fun. And you're dead on with the girls in tights thing.
