drug addiction shouldnt be seen as a weakness of willpower but as a disease

scientists have found genes that make people more susceptible to addiction (almost 600% more likely to be addicted to a drug if you have the corresponding gene)

they also found neurotransmitters and proteins in these people's brains that causes addiction to be much more likely because of how the brain responds to the drug (some people's brains are susceptible to changing so that they are devoted to the drug while others can easily quit because their brain is more resilient)

this issue is too complicated and Gene calling Prince "pathetic" is disgraceful and ignorant


Does this apply to porn addiction as well?

yea

porn does the same thing as opiates but way less (release dopamine)

when you over do it you end up forming circuits in your brain that are really hard to fix

take a break for 90 days atleast to go back to a normal person

Thanks man, I really need to get on no fap. How is your no fap streak going?

On a sidenote, I want to use dragonball as motivation for myself. How many days on no fap do you think it would take to feel godly like goku or vegeta?

agree. to add to that, children that are the victims of child abuse and neglect often self medicate in adulthood,

struggles that people like Prince dealt with, usually spawned from their formative years. things that happen before 3-4 years old are never the child's fault.

even if they didn't use drugs, they would self medicate in some other way, like with excess food. anything self-destructive that gives a person temporary relief from the pain they are dealing with.

we need to have empathy for people like this, not judgement. how can you blame a child for developing a coping system for abuse?

its ironic that the people that are so judgemental of others, people like Trump and Simmons, are classic sufferers themselves. both have been tied to NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) in the past. a disorder that affects the ability to have empathy, and causes the person to need to feel superior to others.

deep down they feel inferior, and use their egos as a crutch to mask it



Dude hair is :scust:

that's a wig:mjlol:

Who gives a fukk :why: he can say whatever he wants, people lost for paying it any attention

Yes it should and is for a reason. Stop making excuses for people. I don't give a fukk what neurotransmitters or proteins cause, at the end of the day you have the option to choose. You can avoid all of this by not fukkin with the shyt at all :krs: :gladbron: Then you won't ever know if the proteins in your brain are 600% more likely to make you a dope fiend.

Mind blowing concept here right :skip:

If im being honest and assuming the reports are true, I agree.

Geniuses should self preserve better. I think about Whitney's voice and it really makes me cringe the thought of her drugging. Even Mariah who probably doesn't drug has still fukked with her gift by not taking care like she should. Your voice is an instrument that requires training and upkeep.

No judgment cause I'm no genius and don't know the other side of thisr. Plus no one owes us anything but you would think with gifts like that they would see drugs and run in the opposite direction. Just like I dont expect to see top athletes doing dumb shyt jeopardizing their gifts and hard work.

Dumb and callous. Just because you're a "genius" doesn't mean you don't have problems

Nevermind the fact that it's a mystery how a verile, healthy man that looked younger than his age and a vegan died under unknown or undisclosed circumstances.

I usually reach that level in 6-8 days.

I usually relapse a couple days later.

I think my longest nofap streak is 15 days.

But I live alone and my girl is out of state so...
