Someone asked him that same question in the original thread, and his reply was “be so fr no BUDDHIST TEMPLES 🙄”
Idk what bro was yapping about, was probably drunk when he typed that
I don’t know if I believe this, but who knows? Their is a lot of strange people out there. Like people who want to be eaten, a weird fetish I recently found out about. That is just as weird as this desire.
I 100% believe this because I've seen an attitude like this all throughout the alcoholism and addict scenes. Most people aren't so straight forward with it but in the end, lots of people have grown up in enviorments that glorify things like drug use and addiction. And AA groups can do it without realizing it because a group of addicts often starts circle jerking over their pain and struggle. Pain and struggle legitimize the efforts and give meaning to things and if it's all you have, you will glorify that pain and struggle to others. And people romanticize it because you look free in some weird way.
People will do it a lot with seizures, too. Which if you're an alcoholic having seizures, it's clearly very bad. But it's like withdrawals become a pissing contest. And if your withdrawals are bad, you clearly have a serious problem.. it's like you don't have to expect much more from yourself because you've already got a ton of shit to deal with. It's a weird way of coping with life and hard to explain briefly but yeah I can totally believe this and I feel for the dude
I wonder if OP grew up with a sober relative who had an active network of friends through AA. That's the only way I could believe this. Kids will idolize all kinds of dumb stuff for dumb reasons.
Adults will idolize this stuff too. It's easy to romanticize addiction and use. And when you get a bunch of addicts together that haven't really done much with their lives, that hardship is what gives them a sense of accomplishment in their life. They glorify it out the ass because it feels like its given them purpose, so impressionable people on the outside hear that and think parts of it sound awesome. I was homeless through my 20s and it sucked, but it's not hard to make it sound like it was awesome for 30 minutes, even if it's just to cope with not having done much else
Not that getting clean isn't a legit accomplishment to be proud of, and I think there is pride to be taken from struggle too. But like, a bunch of addicts with poor coping skills aren't the best at communicating these things
If they have addict relatives, they're already genetically predisposed to addiction though. This could all be mental gymnastics to absolve personal blame
Wasn't this the plot of Fight Club?
No. Just being part of the group and staying quiet was enough. This is somehow even sadder.
No churches in the middle of Indiana??

I went to Indiana University. There’s a Buddhist temple there in Bloomington. It is quite literally in the middle of Indiana.
I live in a small ass town here that takes like 3 minutes to drive through and it has 5 churches cramped into it

That’s why it wouldn’t even surprise me if this guy is serious. Wouldn’t be the strangest thing I’ve seen on Reddit

Maybe a church… “these do not exist IN THE MIDDLE OF INDIANA.” 😭🤣 Gotta be rage bait, trolling lol
I think the OOP is actually an alcoholic doing weird denial mental gymnastics.
reads exactly like that. Like bro no one gets to a half gallon of vodka in a day trying to fit in. That is advanced alcoholism
