I had a tilt table test and failed.

Pretty sure if I did those my brain would lose oxygen then die. I don't recover at all from that kind of stuff.

Sounds like dude was in shock. He probably didn't kill his bf.

I don't know if it's because I have had EQ taken away from me so many times. But I usually just imagine if all the drug addicts could play Everquest, maybe their addiction would go away.

I realize that does not apply, for people here already playing. It would be sad to play EQ so much that even classic is boring. But hey, what is, is.

I've personally had negative experiences with AA/Rehab. Sorry for saying that, because I wouldn't want to take away from someone seriously needing recovery. I felt like sharing though.

But I'm from a different camp. I hope all people with drug problems, get the help they need. Or replace the drugs with something else in life.

I'm from the camp, where I've been tortured against my will. So, I never was down with people telling me, all my problems are booze, and I choose to this and that.

I feel bad saying that though, because I really do think rehab is good for those who need help from drug addiction. I just felt like sharing. I hope you all find your cure.

" It would be sad to play EQ so much that even classic is boring. But hey, what is, is." I didn't mean sad in a condescending way.

Addiction tends to jump from one thing to another.

So if you're not currently addicted to a drug, you're probably addicted to a game or sewing or painting.

Addictive personalities...

It almost feels off when you're NOT addicted to something.

Ya gaming addiction translates well to exercise addiction

Usually gamers are able to dial in on what they are doing, are fairly studious on learning the META, and are very used to micromanaging all these variables to min/max. Oh and usually pretty patient when it comes to grinding

So you switch the META to learning the best proper exercises/activity, min/maxing is supps/nutrition’s effect on performance, and having the patience to grind for years gaining only tiny fractions of improvement along the way is sort of the same thing in different form

Everquest keeps me out of trouble.

Go to AA / NA / SA or whatever group is appropriate, work the steps with a sponsor. No sponsor, no recovery. GL.
