What is your vice and how do you balance it with work?

Masturbation

I don't think that counts.

When it's over 5 times a day it sure does. Alchohol is a choice; masturbation is a compulsion and addiction.

You can knock one out in the toilet in under 5 minutes and it has no lasting effect, I'm not denying that you can be addicted to it, but it's not in the same category as substance abuse imo.

try edging, im addicted to edging and sometimes i jerk off for hours at a time. quick orgasms doesnt give the same effect. there have been sessions that have lasted 8+ hours. longest ever was nearly 48 hours with few breaks and 24 orgasms.

Alchohol consumption is a choice. There's no biological need to drink it in the first place. Also, we don't fully know the effects of constant masturbation. And I'm not talking only once or twice a day.

I get your point, while in college I was addicted to masturbation and it definitely affected my life.
The whole point of addiction is that its not really a choice, even alcohol or drugs.
Masturbation is still a choice, but you feel the need to do it.

I was until having a schizophrenic break that landed me in the psych ward... From their I decided it was time to stop and went to a 3 month rehab.

I used ketamine, PCP, nitrous, and alcohol. Balancing it with work was pretty easy as I had a job I could do from home most days and work any hours. Days I did go to the office I just took it easy, bump or two of k every hour or so in the bathroom... Drink on lunch break, smoke some dust in a joint.

True, but with alchohol there's way more substitutes and alternatives. Energy drinks are a good example of a substitute. There's also alternatives to drugs. But there's no substitute for ejaculating.

on drugs or sober? How can you have 24 Orgasms

Risky and adrenaline inducing behaviors give similar rushes, but yeah theres nothing like busting a nut.

Do your job sober and then go home and get fucked up.

Pretty sure he means that he edged to 24 orgasms, he didn't actually have 24. He just got close.

I work from home, so it’s ok. I start drinking in the evening and keep drinking until I pass out. I do it almost everyday

I'm guessing you're still quite young.
The masturbation urge does lessen with age.

You're going to blow out your liver.

In my 30s

>Any high functioning alcoholics/addicts here?
there is no such thing at least not over a longer time period

do you live alone?
are you at home or by yourself most of the day?
I've found that simple boredom leads to masturbation and that the more you masturbate, the more you get the urge for it.

I think it goes beyond boredom, fam. It might contribute but I feel like it's a hormonal imbalance at this point.

not the same guy, but you can have orgasms without cumming, takes some willpower and self control, but feels amazing, will get you blue balls though if you go to the extremes

Not him, but who cares? There's no joy left in the world.
I've been pounding beers every night for a good decade+. It's the only enjoyment and treat I have.

look what the world has come to, here are snowflakes that are addicted to jerking off and cant function without beating it, these are also the same peole that go "muh white women" and "muh white supremacy" meanwhile jacking it to blacked porn, disgusting, you folks are just mentally weak, child level weak
on topic, high functioning addict isnt really possible, cause sooner or later whatever substance addictoin you have, will consume you and you will break down

Good luck with that OP. Please get of alcohol. Get your shit together.

>I feel like it's a hormonal imbalance at this point.
Get tested then.
Anti-depressents lower libido, so if it is a huge problem you could consider that.

You're a moron. Energy drinks are not a substitute for alcohol at all, they're entirely different. The only things that could be considered an alternative or substitute are benzodiazepines, buprenorphine / suboxone, opiate based pain killers, and maybe prescription muscle relaxants. And those are all increasingly more difficult to legally obtain in the US after laws cracked down on doctors over-prescribing. You're talking about masturbating. Not only are there substitutes to masturbating eith your hand (vibrating toys, blow jobs, sex, etc), it is far from an impactful addiction as there are no physical and very mininal mental withdrawal symtoms from not doing it. You just only see masturbating as more of an addiction and less of a choice than being addicted to drugs or alcohol because that just so happens to be your issue.

Good post.

There are alot of substitutes for ejaculating.
Like ejaculating in someone.

Only simmilarity between energy drinks and alcohol is that they're both addicting.
It's like comparing cookies and alcohol.

But they probably have other adverse side effects. I would consider them, though.

>But they probably have other adverse side effects.
Sure, unless you are depressed.
Modern SSRI's are pretty safe.

I stumbled into work this morning, on time, still drunk from last night. Got home around 3, trashed. I think I got an hour or so of sleep before I had to be at work by 530. Gonna be a long day.

I should give it a try.

Get up. Go to work. Come home. Smoke weed. Go to bed. Repeat. Hot wife. $130,000 a year. $1.2m house. Stingray. Boat. High IQ because autism. Life is good.

God i've never seen such a fucking loser that feels the need to anonymously lie about their life to brag. Pathetic.

>smokes weed once a day

oMg Im So AdDicTeD

>Anti-depressents lower libido

I was on zoloft or something for a year. My libido basically disappeared, but I'd still try and jerk it every day or so. It would turn into like an hour long tug fest with little to no orgasm at the end. When having sex, I'd feel no pleasure from it which ruined it for me. It was fucking terrible.
