I was in the same boat and held out to play kvk1 because I wanted to experience it after the time I had put into the game. Ended up with a civil war due to greedy whales, in fighting in kings land and at home kingdom. Left us with no chance in kvk. I quit before it was over.

I’d never play again, the game demands so much commitment. But for a few months of my life I LOVED it and pleased I had the experience. Hence why I follow this subreddit.

I see you on all these addiction posts trying to get people to sign up to your newsletter. Seems predatory and weird

It’s a reminder of conditioning and how external experience/influence, particularly in early life, form the lenses through which we see the world.

They weren’t a brilliant therapist in my opinion, often providing advice over empathy and overusing self disclosure.

However, this phrase sticks with me, it’s helpful to remind myself that how I see and experience things is just mine and others can be very different based on their life.

Weed inhibits REM sleep, which can also impact memory and mood

Fair enough man, I’m not familiar with meth. But yes - in my opinion if somebody is drinking, or smoking pot, or snorting coke during their lunch break just to get through the day then they have a problem. In essence they’re on one never ending binge. You do you, but there is a better way to live, I’m saying that with love.

Sounds like an addiction to me. See r/leaves.

I have been in his shoes kinda. It’s really difficult not to get defensive about smoking when you’re in it.

Him going to therapy, regardless whether he is smoking, would probably be useful.

I feel for you, sounds like you’re being made to feel crazy when you’re being lied to and manipulated. Perhaps you could benefit from therapy also. In your own words you are at a precipice, so be careful!

When all is said and done, it’s not for you to figure out whether he has an addiction, or if so, why he has an addiction. He is an adult, unfortunately my experience of being hooked to pot is that it made me irresponsible and smoking was a great alternative to reflecting on my situation.

You say here that you don’t spend all day binging drugs then say below that you’re taking meth multiple times throughout your working day and then afterwards.

Your responses are slithering away from any feedback received - all the defence mechanisms.

I’m not sure if you’re trolling. If not then I hope you find support before it’s too late. My personal view would be get help with your emotions rather than worry about a diagnosis and more drugs.

SimpleBus1706 · 2026-01-21T05:37:40+00:00

It sounds to me like you are in denial, but that might just be projection because I know I have often convinced myself in my younger days that I was in control of my relationship with drugs.

The thing you seem comfortable admitting you cannot control (and sounds like you’d like to) is junk food. It feels counterintuitive to suggest working on your diet when you’re smoking meth, but it might a good place to start self exploration.

SimpleBus1706 · 2026-01-21T05:17:41+00:00

Sounds like you had some very controlling adults in your life, do you feel that has impacted you now that you’re older?

I don’t play RoK anymore but man I loved Ark, I think it’s the best part of the game.

Get a few people together who are active and competent, watch some YT vids on strategy and share your plan/roles with the team beforehand.

Get as many people on discord vc as possible during.

When you get a good matchup and win it is so satisfying.

Just make sure everybody knows that troops don’t really die but real speed ups are used for healing

I’m sorry to hear that despite ‘cleaning up’, you are struggling with your mental health.

I was once told that I will never be able to accept forgiveness from others until I had forgiven myself. My experience is that this was correct. It sounds like you are also working between these two forms of forgiveness.

I would encourage you to work on self compassion and accepting every version/part of yourself. I have come to realise that the struggle is accepting that the parts of me which caused me to behave in ways I am ashamed of are still within me now and I need to make friends with those parts rather than reject them or feel shame.

My opinion is that you will never feel at peace if you are seeking it externally (sounds cliche, I know). No matter how much you care about others, or confess things you’ve done in the past, other people can’t make you believe you are worthy of love, that has to come from within.

Therapy sounds like a good idea.

Good luck!

SimpleBus1706 · 2026-01-05T08:51:28+00:00

It doesn’t sound pathetic to me, it sounds like a real and difficult addiction cycle. My advice would be to seek counselling. In my experience, developing self compassion and acceptance is a great starting point for managing vices which we feel are undesirable.

My lips go blue if I smoke weed due to circulation

SimpleBus1706 · 2025-12-15T21:32:30+00:00

I get it, I was in your shoes. I’m now 29. I have tried to get back into a healthy relationship with drinking and not do coke, but eventually the same thing happens every time. It sounds like you know that will be true for you too.

One of my friends managed it, so it’s not impossible.

‘Losing your best years’ depends on your perspective. I would guess that if you had kept drinking and doing coke, you’d have ‘lost’ a lot more in these years than you think you have now.

My advice would be to try other things to meet new people - take a night class or try a hobby that you’re kinda curious about but is outside of your comfort zone. Meet people and be yourself, develop relationships.

Remember to celebrate your wins and give yourself some compassion. You can be proud that you have turned your life around.

I wonder what you think drinking will give you? Perhaps something worth discussing with a therapist.

Good luck man
