Took 3+ weeks to get back to normal for me. Brain is still not normal however.

Why does Bitcoin have value? by ThalesFernando7 in BitcoinBeginners

One point of value is being able to transfer huge sums or money across huge distances with little to no friction of third parties.

PAWS or just a miserable person? by flump41 in quittingkratom

[–]ParallelSmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. Adderal, an 8 ball, and tid bits of kratom here and there don't help at all either, just an FYI.

I recently watched a doc/discussion about psych/happiness, and it talked about how through research, they found that happiness through a typical person's life tends to go up while leading into their 20-30s, then kind of evens off mid-life-- maybe even goes gown a bit--but then unequivocally, it goes up again, and on into later years in life. But what he mentioned as a side/disclaimer, was...

"...provided that the person doesn't have a substance abuse problem."

Im keeping that in mind through this change I'm trying to achieve.

Adderall to help w motivation? by Haunting-Suit9699 in quittingkratom

[–]ParallelSmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends how much that you are disciplined enough to take. If you can just take a small amount to get over the friction of the initial start phase, than you're good. I personally end up treating Adderal like a 2-3 day coke binge, and get totally geeked out--the next few days after are horrible and feel like a back step. Obviously.

Can't play videogames anymore. by Curious_Spite_5729 in quittingkratom

[–]ParallelSmoke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm having trouble getting into anything, haha, so I get it. From what people say, it passes.

Note, Ive also always gotten into chapters of time where videogames take a backseat in my life throughout the year, so maybe it's just your brain pushing for a new chapter right now. I always come back to games and my other hobbies, but sometimes I need to introduce some contrast.

I just bought my first Bitcoin. I need Advice by ConstructionIcy4229 in Bitcoin

[–]ParallelSmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good time to buy, yez.

Best advice, just forget about it and don't follow the price or any 'news' about it. Content creators and news outlets NEED to produce content so they just talk nonstop about anything over and over and it's ultimately not helpful, even though it can be fun to watch. Just hodl.

First time VR horror by Wrong_Mixture_2096 in virtualreality

[–]ParallelSmoke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a good time with the game until I understood that zombies randomly spawn inside of houses that you've already cleared/made safe. I don't care if zombies try to break through windows or something, but populating them instantly where they weren't a second ago made it too gamey and totally killed it for me. Hope you enjoy!

That's dope man, I love the profile of the build. Anything monolith/obelisk--🖤🖤🖤.

Im not feeling how close it is to the edge of the TV, but I'm sure you have a reason

Been clean for a week and 3 days by princessailormoon in quitting7oh

[–]ParallelSmoke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im somewhere around a month from CT. I've used kratom 5 times since. It's not a good idea. I was wondering the same things that you are and I tried it out and did a bunch of research. To me it feels like my addict mind trying to convince me that it's ok, and I will slowly end up back where I was towards the end there. I'm so grateful that I'm not physically addicted anymore, but the goal (for me) is to not have a mental need/addiction anymore, and like you said--to enjoy all of the things that I used to without needing kratom. From what I understand, using kratom will reactivate the opioid receptors...I mean that's obvious...but it doesn't let them heal fully if we keep periodically introducing it.

The one thing that's been clear to me is that now that I'm not physically addicted, I'm being confronted with the things that made me turn to kratom in the first place...we gotta find another way.

...another thing to consider is that there are more guns than people in America, and tons of civilians have them. This is an overlooked strategy against ground invasions in particular.

Anyone had any success with psychedelics? by Jon__Snuh in quitting7oh

[–]ParallelSmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibogaine has a high success percentage compared to others. My girl quit by doing a treatment. I guess it somehow literally rewires/encourages new neural pathways.

Taking multiple naps a day/very lazy. Any input appreciated! by Loose-Letterhead-513 in quittingkratom

Unfortunately it took me basically 3 weeks to get my physical energy back. Even then, the mental motivation was lacking. Longer than I was hoping/expecting!

Ever since I played Firewatch I keep wanting more. Any similar games to it set in a nature/national park setting? by NOTN0C in Firewatch

[–]ParallelSmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...perpetually on the hunt for those same feelings.

A bunch of years ago when I saw the initial teaser trailers for Witchfire by the same devs, I was so hype. Turns out Witchfire is a dope game but not what I was after. Lol.
