It is a mindset thing man.

It has nothing to do with life situation or money.
The miscer who believes he cannot make it, and the miscer who believes he has made it, are both correct.
You have to address the alcoholism man. That chit will not go away on its own. You don’t have to wait for a horrible rock bottom. Start small, just do something. Just research ways to help yourself. You don’t have to get sober or even stop drinking today. Just do something. Continuing this conversation with me counts.

I gave up drinking like three or four years ago after about five years of going over board because “poor me” and “my life sucks”. It wasn’t easy. I would be more than glad to talk to you about what works for me. I appreciate those types of intimate conversations and usually get some pretty positive feedback from those who participate in them.

I know you may not want to address it. I am doing some assuming here. Sorry for projecting. I just want to offer assistance if you would like it. If not, no offense taken. I sincerely wish you the best.

I did want to address that aggressively because I feel it is important, but back to my first point.

Gratitude is a super power man. We may not be making 10K/day but we have a lot going for us.

We get to misc and have conversations like this. Pretty nifty gift the universe just gave us. I am grateful for it.

The natural human tendency to focus on negative aspects of life is a psychological concept referred to as the negativity bias.

It can serve a purpose in that when we focus on negative things, we are taking action to prevent them from happening again. They are in our consciousness and we are aware of them.

However this results in unnecessary paranoia on the short term, and in the long term takes a significant negative impact on our emotional well being.

It leads to increased anxiety and depression. Understandably, we are viewing the universe through a lens where everything everywhere sucks and it always will.

The good thing is we are aware of this and we can counter act it and even undo the harm it has on our brains.

Deliberately practicing gratitude is a very effective method. Good things happen all the time. We don’t see it, but they do.

Someone does something nice for us, and our brains either don’t even acknowledge it, or write it off as some type of expectation, like we were owed it.

I say that because when I say practice gratitude, I mean start with the small stuff. It doesn’t have to be a huge promotion or engagement. We are simply trying to identify that good things do happen regularly.

If someone holds the door for you, you should be grateful for that. They did not owe you that. Not only did they relieve your physical stress and take it on themselves by holding the door, more importantly they acknowledged your existence, and showed a sense of appreciation for it. How considerate of them.

Happens every day. Someone let you merge in front of them even though they didn’t have to, hell yes.

You see someone else stop to help a person stranded on the road. Literally heaven.

Bro, my car started today. While that is an expectation I have and it is so convenient that it always does, one day, it won’t work. It will give me a problem and I will be frustrated with it. But right now, it is not a headache I have. What a gift.

It is here. All round. We just ignore it. Remind yourself.

We already made it man. We just forgot. Ignore societies superficial standards of life satisfaction. That is meaningless. We already have it and we always have.

Why don't you fix it instead of crying to miscers about it?

I don't know your situation but unless you have chains kn your feet and your brain is gone why can't you fix yourself?

You don't have to be an addict or drunk forever. All that it's a disease bullchit is a cope out. Just stop doing it. It's that simple.

Unless you have powers that be that are holding you down against your will there is no reason why you can't conquer yourself and rebuild your life.

I can have empathy but those who give excuses are seldom good for anything but.

Just keep in mind there is a true difference between an excuse and a valid reason.

Now today is in front of you. You have the power tk choose how you live today don't you?

Man up or shut up

Sorry to hear that man. You know, the realization that there are limitations to life often beyond our control has been one of the hardest pills to swallow in my 20s. When you’re growing up, anything seems possible. You are full of energy, full of life. Yet as you live life, you begin to experience setbacks that knock you on your ass and many people become jaded, often losing hope. I am guilty of this. But it’s not about how hard you get hit, it’s about getting back up, dusting yourself off and how you respond to the struggles. Cliche as it sounds.

I still truly believe that we’re all gonna make it one way or another.
