Has anybody else tried to get rid of things considered "degenerate" from their lives, I.e Alcohol, weed, certain TV shows, no cap, social media etc

Did it help improve your life, was it hard?

I stopped all drug, all drink, started focusing on getting fit and working to save money.
It hasn't really changed my life that much, if you want me to perfectly honest with you. I look a little bit better, and I have more money, but that's about it. I was always fairly confident, so my confidence level hasn't changed at all.
I think the biggest difference is the class of people I'm interacting with. Instead of hanging out with people who are into drinking and drugs, I tend to congregate around people that are more straight laced, which itself is also not really a net positive or negative.

It's weird, since I got bored of drugs drink, clubs etc I know less people and have found it even harder to meet new people

I haven't had any alcohol in a month and a half and I hate being alive now.
I could technically keep drinking to an absolute minimum for the rest of my life, but I'll always want to drink.
Don't start drinking, kids.

I deleted my Facebook in 2010. You will literally cease to exist in the minds of many people you may have considered your to be your friends, but you will learn that it doesn't really matter. Free yourself from the mental prison that is social media. Live your life for yourself. not for likes.

Its going well:

to go but im feeling much better

Out of curiosity, how old are you? Because I'm in the same boat, and I'm 24, 25 in December, and I've been starting to think that the reason it's been like that is because I'm at the in between point between crazy, party time of your life, and then the settle down and get shit done part of your life, and if im being totally honest internally I'm not really ready to let go of the partying lifestyle yet, but at the same time I know I'm getting old and I don't want to be THAT dude in his late twenties who's hanging out at the college parties with 19 and 20 year olds.
>inb4 24 isn't old faggot
In the grand scheme of things no it's not, but it doesn't change the fact that my friends the same age are getting married and buying houses now.

i've given up most things degenerate, between getting married and getting older (37).

I think all i have left to make me more productive is to give up this fucking site.

My 24th birthday was the day I realized that partying wasn't fun anymore.

It was my birthday so obvviously I had to go out drinking. But it wasn't fun. I spent the night questioning why I felt obligated to have "fun" and who's idea of "fun" was it?

I've gone out partying and wished the next day that I had stayed just stayed in and played vidya games. However, I have NEVER stayed in playing vidya and then wished I had partied instead.

Look inside yourself for the answers.

I'm finding it incredibly hard, but i'm making progress

I smoke less (still too much) and workout more (still not enough)

the trick--i think--is to not get discouraged when you slip up and fall back to your bad behaviors

Just focus on making progress

I've gotten drunk for the past four nights in a row and I'm about to polish off my half gallon tonight. About half a year ago I was exercising and improving my life but now I'm just getting drunk again.

25, good job, paid off all debt (70% savings rate with mech eng career). Lost 30 lbs, picked up archery. Got better at stunting (into wheelies and supermotos)

Still feel some sort of 'bored angst'. Plan on moving to texas in two years. In a WAY better position than like 90% of people but honestly all I want to do is just live free with lots of land and go on motorcycle adventures. Large expeditions. I guess im just afraid im going to be a working bitch forever

your life sucks and you are to fucking stupid to know it, must be the booze killing braincells

Got rid of mine around the same time. I'm pretty sure Facebook is for middle aged women to look at each others pictures of babies. All the younger people are on Twitter posting anime memes now.

Nobody likes you

24 is already too old to be partying. You should get that shit out of your system the first couple years of college. What's so great about spending too much money on alcohol at bars and hanging out with shallow friends who can't relate without liquor?

I believe the degenerate things in my life I had rid of did improve my life.

Yes its hard

Yes life is better

I don't have much left to go, just this
>masturbation
However I am weed and alcohol free

I'm drinking right now and I feel pretty good desu

No, and I consider you a life loser for thinking that removing those things from your life will make you a better person.

I did a two week stint where I didn't touch my smartphone once I got home. Got more sleep. But I ended up wasting more time on it at work.

only when it becomes a problem, its hard to notice when it does though.

>removes himself from the gene pool

I have no problem with weed since it is a better pain killer for my back than any opioid, got rid of cable 4 years ago, alcohol too, deleted my facebook 2 months ago - feels better to be back on Sup Forums after 9 years break after the CP flood back then

>has successful career, two kids, still drinks faps and fucks all he wants
Weed is fucking gay though. You mad, healthkit?

24, got back from uni a couple years ago, all my old mates are scumbags and my uni mates are all lefty cunts that I can no longer stand

I live in london to and despite what most think it's a lot harder to make meaningful connections with others in a big city

absolutely not. i let my instincts guide every aspect of my life.

agency is weird. worrying about your morality versus your principals will just make you miserable. the thing is you shouldn't be cutting these things out of your life because they're degenerate but because cutting them out simply has a positive effect. being fitter, smarter, more disciplined and so on is a reward in and of itself -- it has nothing to do with notions of petty bourgeoisie morality.

Friendly reminder overeating is degenerate. Most of you need to stop preaching and go for a jog.

FATTY

Shouldn't you be trying to have kids?

I stopped smoking.
I can't believe how great my lungs feel.

I don't do drugs, or watch TV, but recently I've just been eating fish, eggs, chicken, salads, rice, fruits, veggies, oats, and basically cut anything out of my diet that isn't super healthy.
I feel more awake in the morning, hopefully it'll carry over to a 100% PT test.

I get drunk and watch ghost adventures so I fail.

I don't know why.

I'm 35 and a registered alcoholic. Been drinking since I moved out the house and got a kitchen job at 18yo. Was quite a sperg socially so was using drink to be more social and open and there was a pub culture - kitchen team would go out after work everyday - it was normal.

I managed to quit once for over 3 years and go to rehab because of constant complains from neighbours and flatmates usually about rowdiness and noise. Was in an open rehab clinic and it did improve my life. Managed to get a gf first time im my life and I went back to school then college and then uni.

However the pressure of uni and work got to me hard on my final year and I dropped out and went back full-time to the kitchen. I had to quit after couple of years because of alcohol health related problems. I am on benefits now and drink all day and night.

However, ever since I became totally redpilled some time ago I can't find reasons to quit. I became a social outcast because of my political views, stopped going out hanging with people. Most people I see outside are fucking commie lefties. It's the norm here in the UK. After a while the redpill became a blackpill and nothing brings a slither of happiness anymore than alcohol.

Tl;dr I am an alcoholic. Redpill became a black pill can't stop drinking now. Help an user out.

I feel a similar way lad. What part of London?

>improve
Yes

>hard
No

If it's hard, then you haven't really made that choice. The choice can only come from within you. If it's hard, probably you are acting on behalf of others. If you won't do it for yourself, you won't really do it, and it will be hard. To do it for yourself, it becomes easy. The motivation comes from within at a certain time and then it is easy. To struggle before you are ready is pointless, only creates stress. Accept yourself, as you would have others accept you. God bless, user.

This the thing here. It's full of lefties here. I've almost completely stopped socializing because of that. I am just getting drunk alone all the time.

I often drink out of boredom, BUT I won't drink unless I have a joint to get to sleep with

So I kinda supplemented one addiction with another, now I don't need to drink at all as long as I have weed

Overall it's because for me, everything is so fucking boring

I even went to the British museum the other day just to see if I could be remotely interested in it but I was bored as fuck, literally only videogames don't bore me but I feel like a fat sack of shit when I'm playing them

Fuck y'all for making me be introspective and shit after work, I just wanted to chill and now here I am with the feels.

Wimbledon, the shit part though, its alright but not much to do

You need to replace your time you spend drinking with something else

I replaced it with guns and working on cars

I know you cant really do the gun thing, but the car thing is easy to get into if you have disposable income.

I'm a poorfag but I've recently discovered fascism through some books and tried the "Fascist new man" lifestyle. I don't drink or do drugs or play vidya. It's hard but that's life isn't easy for me already.

I am 31 and am having alcohol problems recently but i think its early stage snd i can kick it. Got let off in January and am now back living with my mum. Reading a lot helped me and i think I'm beginning to get iver the black pill but London truly is a leftist cess pit and i long to leave this place.

I got rid of mine in 2012. A buddy from work convinced me to do it because if you only see someone via Facebook, then they're not really your friend.

Yeah I try to cut out all talmudvision after World Peace got shut down.

It's hard but that's life and it wasn't easy for me already.*

already there. just need to quit pol next

Kilburn here. Yeah the weed is my main problem i think. Been smoking pretty much non stop for 15 years so i think its time to quit.

THOSE SKIRTS SHOULD JUST BARELY CLEAR THE PANTIES NOT GO HALFWAY DOWN YOUR THIGH!

Just drink like a beer a day. Don't go all out you fucker

Yes

No ;_;

It's hard though, I'm an only child and often alone at home so I'm always bored in some way

Then I'll get a text from my dealer saying he's got some shit in and feel obligated to go pick up

I've so far forsaken social media and socia life, which i didnt have much to begin with.
Now im trying to quit smoking both cigarettes and weed. So far my life has improved significantly, specially mentally. With that said, ive also fallen harder into the redpill, im abusing alcohol and have constant thoughts about suicide.

I'd say overall im doing okay, if things dont go my way in a year from now I'll just end it all

Surprised no ones mentioned it's Lauren southern and her sister yet

>Did it help improve your life, was it hard?
Gave up booze 01-06-2016

It was tricky. Best decision ever. It was tricky because I drank a case of beer/day for almost 2 decades.

The detox was horrible. I lived. I am alive, and I feel like every day is my second chance at living life.

Since it happened, I have changed my diet. I have changed many habits. I subscribe to a school of thought that Actions change thoughts. I have to do things different many times before it "takes". Eventually my uncomfortable action to improve becomes second nature.

When I get to feeling comfortable with life, I then try to upset that comfort by doing something different. It may be jogging, or it could be simple shit like going to a library and reading a book.

My life is so wonderful. Not perfect. But great!

Also, I do go to meetings. It works if you work it.

t: Recovering Alcoholic.

Yeah the only times I've been away from it have been occasional holidays for a few weeks but when i get back its only a matter of time before i see a friend who has some. A few of my friends grow also so its pretty much gotta be cold turkey on my own or ive got no shot

Do or do not. There is no try. It's easy if that is really what you want to do and if it isn't what you want to do then it is impossible.

This is the thing for me too. I am in Edinburgh which is lefty central. They egged Nige in here some time ago when he showed up. I could pick up some reading but I am totally not in the known what to read. Any advice?

This. Delete your kikebook now.

Nice user

It seems alcoholism is a side effect of taking the redpill, like all great scholars I guess

Cut down on my drinking by at last 2/3rds.

Am steadily cutting down my porn usage to less and less hardcore/immersive/fetishy shit.

Am trying to make my diet more and more paleo.

Got floride free toothpaste and a water filter.

It was sorta difficult. But once you get in the habit of one healthy thing, subsequent healthy thing get easier and easier.

Next up for me is cutting porn entirely, perfecting my diet, and going to either MMA practice or lifting every day, alternating.

I would like to do all of that. I don't feel like I can be a true member of the alt right until I become properly redpilled

I've developed a physical addiction. I am on 8-12 minimum daily.

I do seek some professional help, but the services are not the best. I am on a waiting list for an rehab, but the queue is long - gotta wait another few months.

You need something that lift you out of this shit mate. Read Dostoevsky and maybe watch some jordan Peterson.

This is what happened with me exactly. Then the redpill became a blackpill..

>Alcohol
Degenerate? Bullshit. Alcohol is a strong part of European culture. If you can't drink responsibly, you are not white. Chillin out at pubs and having good conversations in the shit.
>weed
Did it when I was younger socially. Maybe smoke it once a year.
>certain TV shows,
Don't watch tv
>no cap,
Not sure what that means.
>social media
I ditched it years ago, and my last message back in like 2013 was that it was getting to politically correct.

>member of the alt right

No your doing it wrong, become your own man, the alt right is a fucking joke

Kicked video games, great idea

Smoking a lot less weed, okay idea. I'm sharper but also angrier and more of a general asshole

Less pr0n, mostly positive.

Haven't had cable in years, great decision.

Same with social media, even better decision

Like others, have given up on social media. Feels good not seeing feeds of shit that doesn't make me better.

Don't watch TV Netflix or the such. Again watching shit that doesn't make me better.

Stop getting food from corporate supermarkets and get it from a local co-op and local butcher down the street.

Work out at local ymca.

Stay away from electronics as much as possible.

Current vices that pop up but I don't worry too much about are... Fast food (mcds pizza hut) youtube (clips of old shows I used to watch) and porn which is sometime justified if I watch the right stuff as I feel like it can teach me some new moves...

No fap
No anime
No porn
Cold showers
No procrastination
No shitposting
No vidya
No jewish tv

I started lifting and quit smoking weed (mainly because im studying in a small town an it's hard to get anyway), I also try to eat more healty.

I will not quit drinking though, since beer is part of german culture and I don't feel like it is that harmfull to drink some once in a while unless you get wasted.

I think you got this place confused with TRS

Stop

Sounds like you miss TV, do you watch movies at least?

It's retarded purity spiral shit, soon you'll have retards claiming regular masturbation without any media is degenerate etc.
Unless it's actual moronic shit like hard drugs or regular binge drinking it's fine. Just live in moderation and you're fine.

More important than no masturbation is no porn.

Don't watch TV eigher because it's shit, I still have to work on procrastination though, thats one of my weak spots.

Yes, I once never used any internet outside of necessary things (email, etc.) for several months, in addition to not masturbating. I was a social lunatic, would strike up conversations with everybody; had zero social anxiety or anything, I just wanted to talk and hangout all the time.

Whenever I've not used Sup Forums I end up compulsive reading every newspaper as an outlet

No because im not a fucking muslim like OP who cant handle a beer and a cleavage

What's the skinny on cold showers? I've been doing them for a week and two days now for shits and gigs because people raved about them online, I take them once daily after a run in the morning, and so far there's been 0 difference in anything.

>stopped watching tv
>stopped drinking alcohol
>stopped using social media

All things were surprisingly easy to stop despite how often I did them.

Now instead of wasting my time with tv and social media, I waste my time on Sup Forums.

Just stop, it's not impossible

It's good for you immune system, you don't really feel it, you are just less likely to get sick. I want to do that as well, but my shower doesn't get that cold for some reason.

Still drink like a fish and smoke the dank occasionally, it seems like the only way to calm my brain sometimes. I know addiction runs rampant in my family, so I give myself strict budgets for vices.

>Has anybody else tried to get rid of things considered "degenerate" from their lives, I.e Alcohol, weed, certain TV shows, no cap, social media etc

You never go full liberal. At least keep the alcohol.

next step

How cold? Don't just take them after you go running either. Come winter you should notice a huge difference. It strengthens your resolve as well.
I knew someone who took cold showers for a year and I never saw him wear a jacket.

I think instead of leaving everything i am moderating myself

Smoke like 3-6 times a year
Drink twice a month
I Dont watch porn
Only play videogames like two hours

>Has anybody else tried to get rid of things considered "degenerate" from their lives

Russia is by far the most degenerate of all the civilized nations

*Most women in pornography
*Highest murder rate on the planet
*Shortest lifespan for men
*Institutional alcoholism
*Russian mafia human trafficking young white girls and heroin
*Krokodil epidemic, 10,000 new addicts per year, 5000 die annually
*Shit tier living conditions for most of country outside Moscow
*Shit tier living conditions for most of Moscow
*Russian brides for sale on Internet
*Former KGB assassin is country's Kleptocrat-in-chief
*Shit tier Putinbots on Sup Forums posting 10,000 thread per day, "pwoofs, pwoofs".

The Kremlin has a "West is degenerate" disinformation campaign going on right now and Russian trolls are getting 5 kopecks for every shill thread and 1 kopeck for every (You) reply.
I'm a Russian troll and I get paid to shitpost on Sup Forums. Get me an American VPN IP and I'm ready to roll.

It's mostly just "the west is degenerate" and "what does Sup Forums think of Poland" shit, but a lot of times we post hundreds of slide threads to push out all the anti-Trump and anti-Russia threads. This is how we control the conversation.

Pretty lame work, but Americans are really stupid and gullible, especially the TrumDumpsters. They will fall for anything we tell them. Its hilarious.

I've been working out more, like going on hikes on our property or swimming, but still struggling to lose some weight. (I'm not obese or anything, just chunky). My mother is a German who grew up in a restaurant and makes really rich food all the time so it's hard to eat healthy. Though once I finish college next year I can buy my own shit.

Also have given up most of my degenerate music. My spotify playlists are probably 90% white now with the rest being Asian or Kanye West.

Finally got off my ass about getting an internship and have one that starts in a little over a week. Even though it's with the (((IRS))), it will pad my resume and I don't have to work there when I graduate if I don't want to.

Overall I think I'm better than before but could still improve a lot.

>Daily reminder to cut out the added sugar Jew

As cold as I can possibly make it. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I live in a really nice house, so I've been suspecting that the coldest my shower goes isn't actually that cold, I distinctly remember the shower in my shitty apartment years back getting unbearably freezing if I was in there too long, which this shower seems to not do even on the coldest setting.

exercise and drink, it's what I do.

It's hard at first but pays off in the long run, as most degenerate habits are short-term pleasures with long-term consequences.

"I'm a shill controlling you, you gotta believe me!"

10,000% autistic

Strength train first. If you still feel like drinking, do it.

Know any ways to make reading a habit?

I've tried many times and don't get through more than 20 pages in a book, despite liking the content.

Lets see.
>Lowering my caffeine consumption now that my classes are done.
>Trying to become fit
>Deleted my Facebook account years ago.
>only use weed and alcohol on rare occasions usually to celebrate or a occasional release.

I smoked weed regularly for a few years. Decided to break. Already had a career (not a job) and had MOST of my life in order.

Literally nothing changed. The only noticeable difference was a huge drop in the amount of dreams i had when sleeping, off weed. Would like to point out this effect was temporary. Dreams eventually evened out to my normal average.

Started smoking again after being clean for 2 years. Nothing has changed. Literally nothing. This is one reason I've lost all faith and trust in humans. And the media. And the government.

I kicked drugs, alcohol and started a diet, yes it's worth it, I have way more energy, I'm more positive and after the first month, I don't even want that garbage anymore.
