Does masturbation to porn count?

One day is a victory.

I gave up alcohol half a lifetime ago, but my addiction is sweets. It's hard going to supermarket and all those cakes, sweet buns etc on sale.

[bob smith]

thanks everyone for the interesting replies. some good ones and some not so good ???? 

 

Sadly i fell off the wagon last night and had 2 small bottles of light beer.

 

i think aiming for moderation would be a more achievable goal for myself.

i did 6 days without a drink, which for me is PB for at least the last 5/6 years.

 

Enjoy your day people.

Agree with your sentiments, but IMO most have sold out to greed and will accept the evil doers as long as they are all right Jack.

we shall see. i figure if i can get new lungs liver and heart soon (modern medicine will make this possible in no more than 30 years i bet - mainstream) i am only 46 now so i should be able to live to about 140 or so. should give me lots of time to change many minds. im ready.

Hang in there Bob, you've at least realised you had a problem and want to fix it! ????

Age 67 now, nothing left I want.

Except another drink, another joint, another pizza and another turn with a hooker 1/2 my age.

 

Enjoy the rest of your non-drinking life, it may not be long, but it'll sure seem like it!

It's good to have an achievable goal.

 

You're wrong about non drinking though- I gave it up for good half a lifetime ago, and don't miss it at all. If they made weed legal here I'd be permanently stoned though.

I'm pretty sure that moderation doesn't work. Try to get some support if you can.

Well, maybe only half a goal.

Half a goal beats no goal at all.

Yes,  but again, it's a bit like the half mile high club.

I am 99 and my goal is to enjoy Pattaya every minute.  I have 200 million baht left, and I like to be around my fellow men who understand Pattaya is heaven.   I’ve been here for 54 years, my life’s goal reached.

 

Thailand……life goals…..three words that don’t work together.

My goal in life is to be a burden on the Australian Government pensions department for many more years ????

IF ... you can maintain a 2 beer limit per day, then you are in control of your problem.  IF

 

Sadly, I don't know anyone who tried moderation, that succeeded at it.  They simply lacked the will power, or it's true, and it is an uncontrollable disease.

 

I stopped abusing alcohol about 15 yrs ago, though I was only a hobbyist, and it wasn't an everyday lifestyle.  Actually extremely easy for myself, and have always had it as a hobby instead of a lifestyle.  Use to drive my alcoholics friends crazy.   They couldn't understand how I could sit and drink 1 or 2 beers, and be quite satisfied.  They always asked "how do you do that ?"

 

Set yourself a limit, 2 per day, and if you find yourself slowly exceeding it, go back to full on stop, before you have an oops and hurt someone or yourself.

 

GOOD LUCK.

Oh, how I try... 

Vegan is huge in my Nimman neighborhood. I eat it about every other day. It's the same old Thai food with more tofu and mushrooms. It's always a double portion for 50% more (60 baht versus 40 baht).  

 

I don't think it's particularly healthier than regular food. If you're having a lettuce leaf wrap, that's coming with a dish of fatty sate sauce.

 

For Chiang Mai-ites:

 

In Nimman, we swear by Anchar Vegan, and old room with old house plants and generous stir fries. Free Bird Cafe would be a starred Time Out listing in any city in the world. Call it half a dozen others within 5 minutes walk of each other.

 

GoodSouls in The Old City has the best Khao Soi soup in Chiang Mai -while being vegan. We made it a project to try a bunch of them and it wasn't even close.  

 

There's a well patina'd old brown wood restaurant around the corner from Wat Yu that does a 4 item mixed plate (including vegan Khao Soi) for 60 baht. It's mostly Wat Yu people lunching there. They're done by 2.

I've still got a few more temples to visit.

Of course that's the reason I moved to Thailand.

I found that my booze was/is almost always at same time everyday....sunset when i love to have a few drinks...i had to break the time habit by going out at my normal drinking hour....5-6 pm...and do something like go for a walk or similar..

 

.i am a creature of habit and to break the sunset cocktail habit i have to substitute something else....not perfect and don't do it every day but the days i do by time i finish the walk i am ok to skip the cocktail part of sunset...maybe helpful for you to try....good luck, hang in there...it ain't easy but everyday it will get a tiny bit easier I think....

 

.i never thought i could give up cigs...tried moderation quit and started again over and over and over. etc ....didn't work...but eventually one day at a time i had gone a month then 3 months then a year to now over 20 years and never ever even think about cigs anymore except in idea that boy am i glad to be off those damn things..

Nor did I but when I was diagnosed with cancer, I gave it up in 4 days! Best thing I ever did although 20 years too late.

by far most addictive and worst habit i ever had ....i seem to have dodged the cancer bullet and that is a semi miracle as i sure smoked a lot of them in my younger days.

 

..i am so happy to see that younger kids these days don't seem to smoke nearly to the degree that my generation did.... i grew up in north carolina tobacco road...RJ reynolds used to hire people to stand on corners near our high school lunch hangout and pass out those little 5 cig sample packs of winstons and salems to us kids...never seemed to care re our age goal was to get us hooked and for many many it worked...bastards...

Do you have any goals in life?

 

To quote a certain well-known pointy eared space person: –

 

"To live long and prosper".

At my stage of life just hoping to get to the departure stage without having to live in my car, given the pathetic pension, inflation and unaffordable rents.

This ain't the country I grew up in any more.

Pension rates are high for doing nothing. What's the pension for Thais?
