Hey, so recently the past 2 month's i have been frequenting the gentlemen's club, not only are there drink special's awesome but also the food is not that bad for a joint like a gentlemen's club. I think i am addicted, because i would spend at least more than before I would on anything else, and i would find new ways to get extra cash to  go to  the club , and i frequent the place 2x-3x a week. I stop caring about my identity thief, issue and all the bad stuff happening latley and work and have more liquor hang overs, I started drinking more these 2 past months than i would say in the past 5 years......

 , and some how i hit a depression where i don't want to eat right , work out on my downtime, stay active, but wait when the surf is right and go out for that or go to the gentlemen club's, odd part is i haven't been abusing my medication

I do not get lap dances, i dont want that its not my style, so now these girl's who know me from coming in , actually now sit with me and talk to me not to hustle me but just to chill and talk and maybe get a drink or whatever when its dead and bored and they figured the crowd is deadbeats and il be like psst il share my alcohol /default_smile.png , why not 2 for 1 specials... so anyway these girls they started inviting me out with them to do things... so now whole new world opened up to me, and its pretty dark and shady :/ and when you come out the light hurts your eyes , 

ahh whatever my randomness 
 

wow  i sound stupid

Hey Mrcoolguy, now I know where you've been. It's most definitely a new addiction. If you are abandoning healthier lifestyle options for it, it's not a good one either. It depresses me just hearing about it. Reminds me of spending too much time in bars and clubs when I was younger.

I'm glad you are posting about it because it indicates that you know something isn't right. You substituted alcohol for pills and that's not an improvement. Maybe you need start a new  regimen of healthy eating, exercise, and sunlight and get really cool again.

Best wishes

I used to work at a Platinum. The drink specials are absolutely ridiculous, you are right. But don't forget about what you pay at the door. We used to have a $0.25 draft night. believe me, tips were not good on Thursdays because it was the night that the alcoholics frequented the club. I never drank much until my current boyfriend and I got together. I think we were nervous wrecks around one another. It got to the point that I would start to get a headache and hypertensive..almost feel that same feeling when you are due for a xanax- around 2 o'clock, and I realized that I had a start cutting back. Be super careful. When we started to cut back we ended up sleeping a lot. And then we started having our first arguments because of course we were in slight withdrawals. And, always remember that a lot of the girls count on people that just want to talk to them. They can be your biggest money makers.

 
I went to my doctor today for a check up as I hadn't been there for many months.  She made me fill out a form  to see if I was depressed or not because she said that new reports show that people taking narcotics tend to get depressed.  The ironic part is that the last time she has prescribed any narcotics to me was over two years ago... so yeah, that is depressing.

Lol that's too funny. Not the no narcotics part, but after 2 years she's saying that? Poor Suzie.

 
I was in the same situation when my ex & I of 4 years split. I was getting wayyyyy into bad things(gambling, started drinking(I HATE ALCOHOL), and super stoned everyday). I got to the point of never wanting to go to work, or work wouldn't be any what of an excitement as my job is very easy/exiciting. Who wouldn't get excited selling something for $400k? I sure wasn't. I started hitting the gym which turned into my new addiction. 

Just have to look forward and set a goal. IF you don't set goals I don't believe people can reach they're full potential. We are all equals, and some people just need a little push along the road to get you to the gas station if you catch the analogy. 

Just like a benzo addiction, taper it....Stop going to frequently, and have a $$ figure set it what you want to see every single night before you goto bed. Made my life much different. 

 
this memorial weekend, i need to stay away from the club, and hit the gym!! and get back on track, i somehow fell off the horse and i dont want to get back on but i know in my head if i continue this path il look like the weirdo's that come in there, 

with my anxiety atleast i am aware of what i am doing and know its bad and i can tell i been more lazier, and my sleep has been way off,

maybe i just wanted a girl to talk to , being single sucks, and its most difficult for me to talk to just girls in general at the beach, or in public like if i am not approachable, maybe i substituted girls:/

i need to do something! i need to definately need the cardio machine, and sauna and rid my-self of the bad habit :/

Hey mrcoolguy, i have missed you!  I am NOT saying that strippers are bad people...not at all.  I so agree with rvsalesguy that you should try and taper off of the clubs.  Maybe do a rewards system....for every five successful workouts, go to the club.  It is OK to like to go to the gentlemens club.  Just not all of the time.  there is a shitton of ladies that want to hang with you...andnot just at the strip clubs.  They are everywhere.  I think online dating is a great way to make friends!  You could also take fun classes...like cooking or art. Art is amazing.  I wasnt into it at all until I accompanied my bf to one of his classes at the art institute.  You can really make a day of that!  It is SO interesting too!  

Being single can suck sometimes.  I am newly single and pissed.....but I already am reaping certain benefits.  

Love you lots!

 
Any activity that causes the feel good chemicals to be released in the brain whether it be drugs, food, gambling, sex, money, coffee, nicotene even a hobby if stopped suddenly can cause withdraw(depression). Some get addicted to tv shows, getting a bargain shopping...

When it comes to addiction I think it's more about what a person is engaging in to change their mood. So while the general consensus is that only drugs, alcohol and gambling and smoking are the only substances that you can become addicted to is not completely correct. Whether it animal, vegetable or fish, if it makes you feel good and you suddenly stop you're brain wants that's good feeling again and when it's not there depression can easily creep in.

​Hey Cat, wow...really? Newly single? Otter bailed? Or did you kick him out..I guess I've been away too long sweetie. I see your car fund has bumped up, and you have almost met your goal...Congrats! Luv ya gurl..

Hey Cat, What are doing Sat night? And don't say washing your hair!

 
I met my fiance, after many many bate dates, on a dating site.  Im blessed we found one another..

I vouch for dating site, but you need to be totally honest on your profile or you may end up with alot of bat shit crazy people..lol

 
its so bad,

 i hear jeremiah "dont tell em" and  i think of the club, aaah its so boring its friday i can be there right now!!!, memorial weekend!!! 

theres even other songs on the radio i hear and boom i associate it with that place, but i need mUSICC !

than i feel like if i stop going i loose my status and i gotta start all over again /default_tongue.png :/ girls /default_sad.png 

 
Hang in there Mrcoolguy, do you have any buddies to call up to do something different and not be alone? A social life outside of clubs would help you be less bored. I don't want to say anything wrong but I don't think you have much to worry about as far as status goes. Your money is just as green any day.

 
unfortunately after work, i made the decision and went again :/ /default_sad.png  i spent my gas money for the surf trip for tomorrow, and i guess whatever happens tomorrow, happens :/  girls <3 there all i really want is girls , and in the morning its girls!,

and dont even let me start on the tricks i got played with today :/ i am ashamed i got suckered for it :/ 

if i cant get out of this habit, something is going to have to happen either i i goto jail! or get some serious help! :/

Oh no, you spent your surf trip money?  Take it one day at a time, and try not to go for thirty days.  One day at a time.

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
