I'm talking about the all or nothing approach, ignoring moderation. By completely avoiding it you cast it as a negative in itself that is the root of your current problems. In reality, the real root is yourself and such character flaws. Work on those and those alone, Shroomery has nothing to do with them. If you work on improving yourself, completely leaving the Shroomery is not necessary, since moderation will surely follow.

The Shroomery isn't your problem. You are your problem.




I used to think the same way as you, Silversoul, but spud really is right. It's a question of focus, intention, mental fortitude, will. It's just way too easy to put a big chunk of the blame on the Shroomery.

I'm becoming an alcoholic.  I get angry w/o alcohol, and I drink a minimum of 3 good beers a day. ...

:crankey:


I'm going to stop drinking.

It's not the Shroomery I'm blaming. It's my addiction to it. With it out of my way, I can focus on the other things that getting in my way.

Focus on other things by actually ignoring the issue. You'd do way better to teach yourself visiting a place you like in moderation than to simply cut it out of your life completely. You're not really learning anything that way - all you're learning to do is fill a void. Not balance.

The addiction reveals and underlying character problem. It should not be ignored, rather addressed, since it appears to be greatly related to the problematic nature of weakness of the will. Unless approached, it will effect other areas of your life too.

Whatever. Look, I need this. I've thought it over for a while now, and for several reasons, I think this would be best for me. The Shroomery isn't my only distraction, but it's my primary one, and without it to fill my time, I'll be forced to do other things, particularly more productive things. This has been my past experience when taking a hiatus from the Shroomery, and I know it will work again.

So this has all happened before then? And you'll be back again, hooked again. And then you'll need a break again. Wouldn't it be nice to break the cycle by doing the hardest thing of all? Coming here less instead of not at all?

Yes, I'll eventually start posting regularly again, after having accomplished things which by then will have made my life more enriched, so that posting so much will not be as much of a problem. I'm not going to arguing about this. My mind is made up. I'm just making this thread to say goodbye to people who I won't be seeing for quite some time, and I'm not in the mood to argue.

Take the year off if you think it would help you. You don't need to convince anyone else it's a good idea.

good luck man. I'll miss you around here.
I tried to take a year off once. I think me, and 40 did it together and made it about a month.

I don't care what anyone says this place can be a horrible addiction for a lot of people. Moderation would be great, but some people have a hard time practicing it. A lot of the admins seem uniformely against granting bans in these situations, but there are mods who are sympathetic, and will ban you for a period of time if you feel you need it.

I'll ban you for 365 days if you want.

I find it hard to take your so-called resolution seriously however. My first thought when I read the first post was 'See you on Jan 2!'. If you make the obligatory Goodbye Thread, you are doomed to return in mere days.

So anyways, like I said... I will ban you if you really want, but I think that you and I and most people already know that isn't what you really want.

Good luck.
