Yes, but you do that from a logical standpoint you really start to understand reality.

I never started drinking and was never interested in it. So it's just not something I desire. I guess my replacement is endlessly browsing the web for entertainment, whether that's 4chan, videos, or porn. It's hard to escape once you're in the hole. It would probably help a lot if you had someone else to help enforce rules on you, but most of us are probably alone.

By using other substances. Alcohol is pretty shit for depression. You just end up thinking it does help, because of the 3 hour euphoria. And after a while you get addicted and you just find any excuse to drink.

Drugs ruin lives; not enlighten them.

Fact: anger needs oxygen.

Know the difference between rational anger & irrational anger (my hands are ugly, i hate rainy days, if only i could turn back time, etc).

Know the word. It is hidden in the rainbow where you will meet your new imaginary friends!
