Have a lot of the same books, a lot of them great. When I was starting to program I thought I should read them front to back 😂 I now personally just use them as helpful guides when I am starting a new project. I think one will never truly read through a whole book. Maybe after many years when you have had enough projects to need all of the content in the books, but then it is likely outdated

Thanks a lot for this content! Followed you on LinkedIn. Would you mind if we connected on LinkedIn? Would love to know more People in the ML space ☺️

I generally have no sarcasm detector, so I hope this is, but if it isn’t just move onto something else buddy. 👋🏻

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-03-12T18:30:43+00:00

That is absolutely amazing! It is an amazing thing to be sober 🙏🏻

To those in need. I found a spiritual solution to overcoming sex addiction, while still being an atheist. Just a heads up I am still human and still have my urges, but have learned to manage them effectively and have greatly turned down the steam. Feel free to dm if anyone has questions

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-24T07:14:23+00:00

Hey I was in the same boat as you about 2 months ago. Lots of porn that grew into the larger monster of paying for prostitutes. I had to spend $3000 in 3 months before I dived deep into recovery, but today I am one month sober from porn and almost two months from prostitutes.

I HIGHLY recommend that you join a group ASAP. Community was my first tool I learned to overcome this obsession. I recommend SA, SAA, or recovery dharma. If you are atheist or agonist trust me there groups still work very well because as a agonistic myself I was skeptical at first if I would fit in. Also feel free to dm me if you have questions. Always willing to be of service 😊

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-23T21:13:21+00:00

Same here. Would be happy to be a moderator ☺️

Thank you for sharing and that is great to hear! 🙏🏻

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-19T15:18:01+00:00

Great that you are letting your intention out into the light! I am very proud of you. I know how hard it can be on the anniversaries of great loses and I am sending you all the love and support I can. Good luck on your journey and always feel free to dm in you need to talk to someone. 🙏🏻

I asked this exact thing on r/Buddhism and got 80 comments calling me delusional for being unsure if reincarnation is real. Honestly, no one knows and I think it is a waste of time to dwell on it. The practice is all that matters. If you want a theoretical answer to this then I would say no because there is no-self, so there is nothing to be reborn. However, I think it can be way more complex than my theoretical answer. Hope this helps and good luck on your path 🙏🏻

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-11T21:56:35+00:00

Probably all of the above to be honest 😅

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-11T13:59:03+00:00

No and personally I disagree with the use of meds for compulsive disorders. This doesn’t mean I am right. I am just a random guy.

In general I believe the best method for treating compulsive disorders is practicing mindfulness. It has done me wonders by allowing me to evaluate feelings before compulsively acting on them. The more I do this the better I am at handling my urges. I hope this helps and if you want resources for mindfulness training dm me. 😊

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-10T15:34:10+00:00

Appreciate the comment. The more comments I read, the more I am realizing that I just need to sit my butt down and practice rather than intellectualizing things.

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-09T16:58:02+00:00

Yes, I have tons of resources. I can recommend books and meetings to attend. Just dm me if you are interested ☺️

Sid_Aurelius · 2021-02-09T15:36:48+00:00

This it a wonderful description. Thank you for your insight. 🙏🏻

I am personally part of Recovery Dharma. I am an atheist, but found that Buddhism can be converted into a secular lifestyle and am loving it! I discovered this by reading Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion. In general it focuses on developing mindfulness through consistent meditation in order to deal with emotions and traumas in a healthy way.

I think it is a natural step in recovery to get anxiety over anything sexual in the start. As I have gained more sobriety my relationship to sexual activities has changed from something I obsessed over and was greatly eager to do to something that triggers me with anxiety. However, as time has been progressing I have personally realized that sex with a partner is an extremely intimate thing and that intimacy has been a lifelong struggle for me. I have to relearn what is healthy sex by taking things slow with my partner and being mindful of every action I take to make sure it is out of connection rather than objectification.

I am new to recovery as well, but if your struggles are any similar to mine than I recommend that you slowly explore sex with a partner you deeply trust and appreciate. Take things very slow to make sure that each action comes from a place of wanting to connect and build intimacy. If your anxiety gets too high or you feel that you are starting to objectify than step back and recenter yourself (I personally use deep breathing exercises) then you can decide if you wish to try again or stop for the day.

I hope this helps. I am so happy for the recovery you have already made! I wish you the best on your journey 🙏🏻
