The best place to help you cope with continuing an addiction, but not the best place to get rid of an addiction.

If you want to get rid of an addiction, stay away from addicts and everything they produce. Stay away from their artistic creations, stay away from their complicated explanations of the world, and stay away from their gossip. Also, please don't study to become any kind of "drug counselor," get regular person jobs and normal hobbies. You're dying of romance, and you need to figure out how to love the world as it is.



This is good advice and it's worked for other things I've been addicted to.

I guess you can think of this as my retirement from Hacker News. Thank you kind stranger.
