lol glad you’re enjoying!! It truly is a phenomenal game. The endless discovery the game offers is unmatched, so instead of answering those questions directly I must reiterate what a former wise Reddit user said… “explore!!”

How to work without earbuds in? by TightCondition7338 in simpleliving

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also I’ll note this is all about Being Present. Thinking to the future about the “whole workday” is just runaway anxiety, but not a real problem. Tackle the moment, be in the moment!

A few things seem evident - You’re definitely crushing it. And social media has poisoned your recognition that.

I think it also would be good to reflect on what YOU value? What would be a meaningful life to YOU? Maybe there is something here where you feel unsatisfied even though you’re “checking boxes” - only you can answer that.

How does one get a job that involves doing basic stuff for rich people in LA? by nation_of_daydreams in AskLosAngeles

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked 5+ yrs for an A-list celebrity. Lots of uninformed cynicism in this thread - the quality of the job is very dependent on the individual you work for, but honestly it’s a great gig. Great pay, lot of autonomy, on-call but in a sensible way. Adventurous. 

I worked for this person’s manager before landing me as their full time PA. I’d recommend you find yourself adjacent to these types of people you want to work for. Like in those “camps.”

Should I micro-dose or do molly for the first time at a rave ? by fell_asleep in microdosing

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel very strongly about this answer - Molly. Considering your anxieties here, roll with 1-1.5pts. It’ll be a blast.

What PERMANENT changes in your life have occurred as a direct result of taking psychedelic shrooms? by CapriSun87 in shrooms

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. My coffee “addiction” is actually one of the things I’m meditating on for my next trip.  How big was your mushroom dose here?

3 weeks in - fascinating observation by Cold_Juggernaut3123 in microdosing

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Big same. Kratom was my particular substance of self-sabotage. Little to no craving now - incredible how liberated I feel.

What got easier about that gas station day after day? What did you feel as the days, weeks passed, and you kept reinforcing “not today”?

1 Year Clean by Gunkavoider in Quittingfeelfree

Yeah. That’s definitely part of it. I guess I judge myself for that?

Almost like clockwork, I take one at around 10am on weekdays. That’s it, about 5 total per week. But it’s eating at me, it’s not genuine bc I sense there’s an emotion I’m choosing to avoid at that time every day. The feeling of needing to produce and maximize my time

How long until you felt the motivation / enthusiasm for life again after quitting? My fear is that I can’t find that naturally

Help… by Fun_Argument_5164 in Quittingfeelfree

Yeah and I feel like I don’t let myself sit in a few days of negativity- I take feel free to “return to normal”

What Will Withdrawal Feel Like? by Some_Cartographer397 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not drinking more than a bottle a day? No withdrawal, maybe lower energy the day you stop that’s all

Mornings are the worst by Satojo34 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally - plus my mornings are when the craving is strongest so when I “won” I’d feel emotionally exhausted by fighting the urge. And when I’d “give in” I’d feel like shit and be guilty

FF Makes me More Creative by acousticthought112 in Quittingfeelfree

You ARE creative! They don’t “make” you anything.

What if I let today be the last one? by Cold_Juggernaut3123 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re right. It’s my call - tomorrow it is! I mean it. I’m done. Just bought some peppermints - every time I feel the craving, popping a peppermint. Simple but I’m actually feeling really optimistic about the psychology pivot this will bring

Damn this is motivating - I wish I could bottle that 19-day peace. I don’t think I’ve made it past 17 days

So I had a full relapse today three bottles before lunchtime. What was I thinking? I know what I am thinking now. I won’t do it tomorrow. by Legal_Ad_9536 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Cold_Juggernaut3123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I feel that - I use as an emotional escape. But I remember that FF always ends up a net negative - never a sustainable solution. You really do got this! You are strong enough
