The non-sinful pleasures in life...

[Berzerker]

Sometimes I don't see why anyone would want to have sex, do drugs, or drink, what with the immense beauty of the sober life.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well I don't prescribe to the whole sin idea, I just avoid hurting others with my actions.

As for pure bliss, nothing beats the last 500 metres of a 2.6k rowing race, when you are completely ****ed and then take it up a gear or two to the finish, after which you can collapse. Endorphin rush is better than any drug.

After that go out, get drunk, pull some cute girl... Oops Guess I better be quiet now...

Replay the situation, but with a nubile young lady positioned between your thighs snorting "Colombian marching powder" off your John Thomas.

it's been my experience a lot of the groceries are owned by gooks, not chinks, nor japs.

Vietnameses? No way, Koreans. Now how do you slur them?

[Urban Ranger]

Since "sins" are actions against the will of the Judeo-Christianity god, whom should be rejected with the rest of neolithic supersititions, therefore there is nothing such as a sin.

How do I become one of those without all the religious crap?

I drank heavily for 5 years dealing with some headspace issues. I'm not religious either, but consider sobriety an "investment" in myself and my physical and mental well-being. I still walk by the coolers at the cornerstore with serious cravings for a 12-pack, but then I look at those colorful bottles and packs lining the shelf and ask myself, 'who's stronger?'


Treat yourself well, tell yourself you're allowed to be human, and don't be afraid to try alternatives to AA that are out there.

Japher:

Why do you see religion as an addiction? Troll's offering you a way out, what worked for him. You can either take his hand or say no thanks, but either way you should thank him for offering.

Enough to drive one to drink!

Narz:

It's not always easy, but we do get the means and the support to fix up our broken lives. I've had much joy since I've been a Christian, so many good people have helped me in ways I can't even start to thank them all.

Back on topic,

There is nothing better than the feeling you get after hiking up a steep cliff when you look out across the water and the city of Vancouver. Also, at night, when the sun sets and you can see the city lights shine over the water, something well worth waiting the day to see.

Making yourself a chocolate milkshake after a long day, or even immersing oneself in a good book. So easy to kill a weekend that way.

Yeah, Thanks for the advice Troll, maybe one day my addictions will lead me to religion... maybe not. Just for the record I don't think religion is full of crap.

[Starchild]

I quite enjoy the sin, thank-you-very-much.

Option 1- Get minged, get drunk, get into one of those really pointless drunken fights that just consist of loads of shoving and shouting, and top the evening off with a knee-trembler in a betting shop doorway with someone you'll forget before she's halfway through her kebab.

Option 2- Read a book.

Where do you want to go tonight?

heres to alcohol , from one sinner who has fallen short of the glory of God.

Sex is sinful - and is only permitted in marriage if youre consciously trying to conceive a child without lustful thoughts - thats St. Augustine, i beleive.

Alcohol is sinful - Islam, and fundamentalist Protestantism.


This threads view of religion is terribly skewed towards western christianity(usually in its protestant form) and Islam.

There are some religions where marital sex is not only not sinful, but is a good thing, even when not conceiving a child - and where use of alcohol is permitted - in moderation and with appropriate blessings very much an acceptable pleasure.
