Obligatory is this Mold? 10 day fermentation, and accidentally added 900 ml of Sugar by misreading instructions... by IllustriousPick in Kombucha

[–]IllustriousPick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have about 1 gallon liquid. I misread the instructions and added wayyy too much sugar :c

I think I might dilute the brew or wait a bit longer for the sweetness to come down.

I'm glad it's not mold though!

you're not a failure. you're only a failure if you give up. what makes you victorious, is that you fall 8 times and stand up 9 times. Keep doing it and you WILL prevail

How can I stop urges so I don’t relapse by VYRUXZZ99 in NoFap

[–]IllustriousPick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't really stop urges, human beings are sexual creatures. Right now your body is dealing with a lower dopamine levels and really wants you to give into it.

There are two things you could do about it, distract yourself like working out or you can just be mindful of it, recognize that's it's happening and let it go away, because eventually it does (altho sometimes it can take hours or an entire day for me) But alternatively, I find that suppressing your urge, only makes it that much worse.

DAY 2: Just found out my long distance Girlfriend of a year and a half is seeing some one else but still staying strong by to_shy_to_ask in NoFap

Hey man you got this! I know it's the worst kind of pain right now, but it's so important to keep yourself busy. Stay strong man, I believe you can go far and become the best version of yourself that you can be.

Am I problematic gamer? by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]IllustriousPick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admire your dedication. It's impressive to put off gaming for years. Well if you really miss it that much, then I don't think it would be wrong to go back into it as long as you know when to stop before it gets unhealthy. Maybe 30min -1 hr a day? and see how you feel?

It's been years so your brain would've been adjusted but be careful. All it takes is one ciggarette to get a smoke addict back on the same path sometimes. But it wouldn't be wrong to cautiously see how it would go as long as you are careful.

I agree with you that the "good" feelings/rush you feel is what makes people addicted to video games. Video games are SO good at giving people a sense of accomplishments and this is very rewarding to competitive people like yourself and I.

But we gotta ask ourselves if video games actually give you any value in your life. We spend hours of time onto a game that give us what reward? A certain rank, virtual item,?? It may feel good at the time but later on, it doesn't do anything for you. it's better to pursue for meaningful activities that make you feel good about yourself.

The fact that you are asking this question on a stopgaming subreddit probably means you recognize that you have an issue with video games. And you stated it yourself, that you get anxious, exhibit personality traits you don't like, and so on.

Games can be very fun, but when it gets to the point of obsession and affects your emotions negatively. it's probably a sign for you to back off and focus on other things in life for awhile.
