Have you successfully changed yourself for the better?
    #19173049 - 11/21/13 11:17 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

During a very introspective Mescaline trip I came to the realization of several personality flaws and things about myself that I'd really like to change, but I don't even know where to start.

Reinvented myself many times. I am almost 50 and happier now then ever before.  Much of it has to do with your outlook. I have spent at least fifteen solid years in Eastern spiritual search for coming to understand thing in a way where I could function in day to day life.  I never went to the East though I always believed that the teachings must work in the here and now. Often they didn't work, like when I was cooking under tremendous pressure.  Eventually I changed my lifestyle and left the industrial kitchen and gave up hard drugs. Went back to light stuff like beer and weed, and spent a small amount of time in spiritual pursuit several times a week. engaged myself as a student again (in music), got over not having money

I'm working on it, day by day... little steps at a time.


I'm much better now compared to the last 2 years of my life, physically and mentally.

For a while but then I kinda slipped back into old habits again.  So I guess no.  I just found that I felt the same no matter what, the things that really bother me deep down are always there.  I can escape them in the short term but that certainly doesn't make me "better", just temporarily distracted.

I had a pretty strong experience with a hugh rush of realization, but that has only happened once in recent life, hedonistic and self-destructive urges are much more common.

What happened was I prayed and asked for help, and then suddenly I got a rush better than any drug (I was dopesick and took a gravity bong hit, so it was probably the drugs :tongue:).  Sometimes I just get random little rushes where I will feel good for no reason, but this time I realized how important the people around me were and I really wanted to help whatever good force there is heal the ills of the planet.  I'd say if you are ever really desperate to make a change give praying a try.

For some reason I can't honestly pray for help most of the time.  I am too weirded out by the whole God thing and also I have this "bring it on motherfucker" attitude where I always want to see how bad things can get and how much I can handle.  Now I feel like the world is an unmanageable clusterfuck and we just gotta do what we can to get by as individuals.  I'm not so sure there is a "better".
