      Yeah, I'm totally with you on that one too. Best of luck!

      congrats on sobriety yourself. How many years before you felt...like that void gone? My only fear is I started using when I was really really really young, and immediately I noticed it helped me fall asleep so I used a great deal to treat my insomnia, but I can't recall if I had that.... 'nothingness' in me before I started using even...

      thanks, and also I'm not a big fan of the meetings because I just don't like hearing about ppl still in the trenches struggling, I pray and love them but it actually is a huge pull back for me recalling things and being able to relate... I feel.. sounds weird but I feel like an old soul having gone through all that, never catching a charge as you see loved ones and former friends lives just decimated... I feel like an entirely different person but at the meetings I don't I feel like the same scumbag I used to be and I leave feeling depressed from all the focus put on simply not using..


      ...apologies if that comes off as totally nutty- it is very very hard to explain.

      Honestly, I completely understand where you are coming from. That is a big reason why I didn't go back when I probably could have used it.

      I was blessed because I had a good reason to get clean. I had lost custody of my kids and I had a goal to work on. Once I got my kids back, I still experienced that purposeless, emptiness, but instead of trying to fill the emptiness, I focused on finding a purpose. I kept myself distracted with self-improvement projects like getting an education and getting physically fit. Eventually, I felt better about myself because of what I accomplished and those empty, purposeless feelings subsided.

      Of course, you already seem to have those things under control. That is why I suggested a psychologist. It seems like maybe the things that helped me are just simply not enough for you.

      This cracks me up... does this show traits of a sociopath? I think so... :-P he managed to turn a thread, that was purely him being a narcissistic *kitten* and pissing people off, completely around to the same people feeling sorry for him... This dude knows how to play the weak minded... A well versed troll for sure... Win to MrTolerable...

      Well that was just rude! I didn't realize recognizing someone with a problem that I could help with made me weak-minded. I simply thought it made me a good person.

      With a single statement, you went from a man with sage wisdom to a complete hypocrite. Nice trolling yourself, bcoop!

      Wording here... NOTHING that I said AT ALL made me a hypocrite... I never contradicted anything I said previously. Definitely think you need to check your definition of a "hypocrite."

      You know, I just can't even... why you have chosen to attack someone for trying to help...

      I really thought that was what you were trying to do with all your meaningful quotes, but I guess you were just wagging your finger.

      bcoop I was really nice and was awaiting for your input... even said it humbly!!

      I made this thread because I saw on the drudge report that spornosexual is a new variant of what would have typically been a man labeled as a metrosexual - for people that have a background or interest in marketing this is a big deal - it was for purposes of education and to be fun.

      This idea that there is a huge secret agenda of mine to...idk do like evil sociopath-like things is- well frankly it's crazzzy!

      This was a thread I started, you didn't have to be a part of it if you didn't like the subject matter. - and I got a great deal of education and knowledge out of this so thanks for everyone's input... even Mr. bcoop because your points earlier were accurate.

      Can you post the gif of you doing squats in your bathrobe again?

      We need some humor in here.

      I thought something smelled like Nutella and the enchanted forest.

      I think your previous pseudonyms have left you with a pretty solid troll reputation. It is hard to take ANY of this thread seriously, especially the DRASTIC humbling in a matter of minutes. I have watched my share of manipulators who can portray very different facades to get people to think the way they want them to. I wasn't suggesting a sociopath in a serial killer type way, there are PLENTY of very successful people that are not murderers, who psychologically meet every trait of being a sociopath, that have been great at manipulating their way to the top and shaping relationships to benefit themselves. Happens a lot in business and politics.

      I think that is a pretty lame argument for calling me weak-minded, simply because I wanted to help him. :mad:

      ^I had one previous name on MFP ? Not a list of pseudonyms that 'nutuebralla' or whatever was just a nickname or something I thought all those ppl were calling me or a forum term because they started calling me that once I made an acct- I only joined this thing like 2 or 3 months ago.
      And I am ALWAYS humble in some regards because I have some major improvements to be made there - if I am called out on it I'm not ganna act like I got things all together - and admitting those area's I need improvements is what has enabled me to fix tons of other area's I had huge problems with over the past few years.

      There is no conspiracy here tho. lmao.. I'm flattered tho you think that.

      The post you just quoted had nothing to do with your post... I wasn't arguing anything you said with it. So obviously an argument NOT directed at something would be a lame argument to the thing that it WASNT directed at. haha

      Weak-minded doesn't mean stupid; It doesn't mean uneducated; It just means easier to manipulate, in the context in which I used it.

      Well I'm NOT easy to manipulate. I see the good in people... even *kitten*. But hey, I try not to judge people. Everyone has had their walk in life, and none of us know what it was like for anyone else.

      However, you have judged the OP, who admittedly set himself up for it with this thread, but then judged me as well because I was rallying your "something is not right with you" charge, and at least trying to offer up constructive ways for OP to get right.

      Well, I figured it was confirmed above that you were the "notorious" (used loosely) "NutellaBrah," who apparently used to troll the forums JUST like this in the past. Still hard to take the thread seriously.

      I respond and am moved deeply by sincerity - especially someone that has faced similar demons I have. - your points and guidance have proved beneficial to me and I'm going to work on my spiritual life and start thinking about it... to be quit frank it's been the last thing on my mind over the past few years.

      If Bcoop thinks I got that beneficial point as a result of manipulation - so be it. :shrugs: - either way I have something to focus on now that could potentially aid my insomnia and fix the void.

      That's not what it means:

      someone who's easy to manipulate would be trusting and naive. (which are not bad qualities)

      negative - but I appreciate the explanation on "nutellabrah"

      "troll" - and I wasn't the one that derailed my own forum btw... once the bunny trail opened up tho I did take off at a gallop.

      " foolish" in that definition you just posted which also fits in "lacking forethought or caution" which can also go hand in hand with naïve... but either way
