But my point is, I was addicted
Just not strongly addicted, I *could* and eventually *did* stop
No worries, I'm Swiss, I know how god damn boring Germanic countries are, sterile and lacking an ounce of personality.
idk, I live in Austria
I visited Germany many times, but mostly rural areas
Those are really nice, although quiet af
Same as in Austria I guess
1:1 to Swiss, ya I've visited.
I love it here, I like the quiet
NY would probably destroy my soul
We also have people here that get "addicted" to weed...My argument is they really just need more shit to fill their time with.
idk, maybe
I believe everyone is addicted to something, we just hop from one drug to the other
There's a key difference between substance abuse and behavioral addiction though
It's either weed, or alcohol, my time in America resembles similar stories of native Americans that are easily alcoholics there.
Well
I mean what is an addiction, that has been redefined a few times
Food is not considered an addiction even though we have to eat at least once a day
Weed would be labeled an addiction instantly if we smoked once a day
Exactly, the nuance in where we set the goal posts is important.
Like your dreams and goals, your health, etc.
I was told by someone "simply having a beer alone makes you an alcoholic" I just had no clue how to respond to that, haha
Yeah that's dumb
Drinking and being a drunk, big difference
In fact some alcohol can boost certain performances
Creativity goes up, efficiency goes up, precision goes down
Good for writers if they take it in small doses
*creative* writers ofc
If I'm alone, I know my day is done, but I still have some energy to do something, maybe some art, but I want just a little mental lube, damn straight I'm opening that bottle of red wine.
That's why I can't say anything about DMT
I think Joe Rogan may have a point, I have no clue
I certainly wouldn't just claim outright DMT bad
Well, I don't drink alcohol often anymore, but if I had to be creative I think I might have it a bit more
I have to be precise, so it's a no-go for me
And also I need by emotions to be low at all times during work
Alcohol doesn't help that lul
Man, these dudes in Switzerland will finish a bottle of vodka, go drink beers at a club, then still drive home.
But they are SUPER bored guys, good, simple guys, but bored out of their minds.
I mean
Alcohol has a tipping point
