I'm glad that it spoke to you! Yeah I wrote it when I was 21 and wayward. Thankfully shortly thereafter I found that a strict regimen of programming, lifting weights, exercise, math, statistics etc gave me more than enough meaning to occupy my time and interest, at which point drugs got boring. Hence why I'm on hacker news :)
- soulofmischief 7y agoAll you needed was stimulation and a plan. Without a plan you don't have motivation and without motivation you develop anxiety and begin seeking an escape. With a solid plan, you find that an addiction just gets in the way of what you want to do. Glad you're doing better! Good luck!
- natalyarostova 7y agoYeah, stimulation was the big one. I eventually realized that it's sort of impossible for me to 'relax' (more than 5 hours a week). I just can't do it, and when I try I get frustrated. So I've developed a lot of self-development hobbies instead, which works out well.
