Trauma


Posted: July, 22, 2009


Hi Stewart,

On JourneyswithRebecca, you mentioned how people drink & do drugs to block out reality because of some tramatic experience.

 From my observation, I agree, but what about the young kids that havent experienced any tramatic event in this life time yet?

Why would they be part taking in such activities? Is it programming?

Thank you.


Stewart's Reply

: How can you say they have not experienced trauma.

 Anyone who takes drugs or drinks heavily does so because they are unhappy and traumatized.

 Age has no significance in the matter.

Wrong.

Most people drink alcohol and use drugs because it makes them feel good. They aren't trying to "block out" reality, just take the edge off of reality. You don't need a traumatic life event to do this. Only a small % of alcoholics and drug users actually are trying to mask some traumatic event in their past, the rest just like the way alcohol and drugs make them feel.

to improve the quality of life more, its kind of the taboo and unpopular to say positive things about using drugs or to say it contributes to life quality.
its only that a minority of people cant deal with it.

I tried drugs out of curiosity.  I liked drugs that made me introspective, like pot, opium (if it really was), mushrooms, lsd.  'Party drugs' like coke, speed, and x, I didn't enjoy very much.  Tobacco is just an indulgence, and not psychoactive enough to rate with heavier drugs when drug use as escapism is the topic.

Pot started to make me too paranoid after awhile tho.  Trips requires too much effort so I quit those after a year or so (and I tripped lightly and infrequently).  Hadn't smoked pot for 10 years or so until I bought some buds, and I've still got 4/5 of the nickle bag in my desk drawer about 24 months later.  Guess I'm not the hessian I used to be.

Getting drunk was fun when it was a youthful novelty, but that wears off after awhile when you realize that the good times are becoming increasingly dependent on booze and the booze just isn't that fun anymore.  Alcohol is ok imo, despite the sat night fight club that always erupts.  In moderation it's a good social drug, but it is frequently abused.  I haven't been shitfaced in 6 or 7 years, and before that was another 2-3 years, but I still have a glass of wine most nights with dinner.

People who use something to escape from, rather than compliment or explore, a situation need to worry.

Another Wal-Mart Story

The news is reporting on a woman in Texas who microwaved a bag of frozen Wal-Mart string beans for a group of kids playing outside. When she opened the now defrosted package to prepare the meal she noticed a lump in the bag.

That lump turned out to be a legless frog, hidden inside the frozen veggies. The woman actually fainted from the sight of it and became sick.

Complaints to Wal-Mart were useless. Ultimately, they were willing to give her a coupon useable only at their store for .....$1.

Yes, that is ONE dollar.

The woman called the health department to complain and obviously also called news services who jumped on the story. Wal-Mart has refused to return calls to the woman or to the news services. There you go.

I smoke cause it makes music sound better = better lifts for me = more rocked the hell up

its like some of you pussies who take 500mg of test a week and break out and think you gonna rip your girls head off or 'blow up' soooo much that everyone will know your 'juicing'

you are the same fags that knock people who blaze...kids talk so much about me smelling like herbals when i walk in the gym sometimes but fact of the matter they are still twinks....I am the 265lb bald monster stomping thru smelling like a skunk, rockin headphones, not talking to any twink who will slow me down in MY time, and I get my fckn workout DUN!

ask vicotor martinez he taught me how to roll a 'NY phillie'

ROFL- God what is wrong with you drunks and druggies?

You should be eating brocolli and grilled chicken 24/7. Occasionally you can have a hand full of cashews. If you deviate from this diet or drink or use drugs your not a bodybuilder and you obviously are suffering from some sort of past trauma. Its impossible that oiling yourself up and putting on a thong on stage while flexing your muscles as people take pictures of you demonstrates some sort of past trauma. Everyone normal and mentally sane  straight male does bodybuilding

sounds like you sweat when you shit

[dyslexic]

When you are young you feel invincible (trauma or no trauma)-



There will come a time in everyone's lives when they seriously question everything they do- and everything they have done.



Hopefully the answers they find will give them peace.



I think inner peace with one's self is ultimately what everyone is searching for.... unfortunately it cannot be found in a drug, or in money, or in another person.



Thus endeth the unwanted philosophy

[local hero]

most my pals who like to indulge do so because they realy enjoy it,,, if i hadnt of been into the bodybuilding so much in my teens and early 20's, id of most probably joined them.... but i still think all that time training and shooting test was time well spent in my book
