My Addictions

This is pretty much spot on with my situation with all of the above. Luckily realizing my weaknesses i've gotten better at handling myself but i still slip up here and there.

With food I was 270 pounds and got sick and tired of that and ended up losing 70-80 pounds. I eat pretty clean most of the time but once a week or so ill still go on a mini binge and feel guilty and shitty about myself/screwing up.

The porn I have cut back on drastically. I have a girlfriend now so im getting laid and i think if I only fap occasionally I tend to be better in bed and have a stronger sex drive so i keep that to once maybe twice a week now where it was every night before.

Video Games oddly enough I havent really been hooked on too badly. I was more a films guy. I have a PC now and im into gaming but I only play for a hour or 2 at a time usually. I get kinda bored if I play more than a few hours.

Weed i still struggle with. I used to mess with harder stuff and drink more often but I just smoke and drink socially now. I only do a lil bit each night but i would like to cut it back to maybe once or twice a week. It helps me unwind but im trying to think more clearly and spend less money on it.

People I still struggle with. My relationships used to be pretty toxic because I would date the wrong kind of women. I would date gorgeous girls with lots of issues who I suppose I would try to fix or view them as a project and I would place them on a pedestal etc. I'm dating someone now who I love and she has a few problems (who doesn't) but shes nowhere near as bad as some of my exes. I will occasionally catch myself thinking like I used to in regards to women and relationships and I'm striving hard to not be like I used to. I'm a lot better but I still see my flawed thinking at times and have come to think of people and relationships a bit differently. The problem is that I tended to love HARD like REALLY HARD so I have to catch myself and not seem too smothering or coming on too strongly. I have a lot more space in this relationship, as we're both pretty busy and she's a bit more introverted and needs more alone time than my exes and that seems to be help me out some.
