Red Pillians in Recovery?

I'm not an addict myself, but I'll field the question.

I myself am a recovering opiate addict (heroin) and was wondering if/how the red pill philosophy can fit into recovery. Since self improvement is a central theme here I think the two shouldn't contradict.

They're not contradictory at all. "Be the best man you can be" is the primary tenet of TRP. The best man you can be isn't addicted to heroin. The advice here still applies. Just ignore posts about going to bars and social drinking. Be your own person and do what you need to do.

Good luck with your recovery. Keep lifting.

Perfect post to introduce myself, /r/seduction brought me here, been straddling the two for awhile.

Check my one submitted post that should sum up where I'm coming from and what I've done with my recovery. I knew I didn't do it for women, or anybody else for that matter. I did it for me.

"Done some shitty things" well I hear that. You're not alone there. Life won't grind to a halt if we stop dwelling. The converse may be true.

Seduction helped me in that it was finally ok to want sex and say that right to a woman's face...after that realization I've been knocking down all the paper walls of my social conditioning. And that's been so fucking liberating it has more than made up for my abused brain chemistry, which 4 weeks later is still feeling like white noise. Red pill is confirming my philosophies since then.

My dealers are asking where I'm at, even offered a free package, I told them that guy is dead and someone else owns this phone. It's true.

42k users? There's some drug & ex-drug users here, and I'm one of the ex. I was an IV heroin addict who sold other drugs for a living and I got popped for armed robbery in the end. Still despite all that, I was a fucking pathetic beta to the core. I've phased out a lot of my recovery work and changed it to improvement work be it mental, physical, or economical.

I find TRP to be counter to a fair amount of what most people in AA/NA push however, but the entire program never sat that well with me. I had to change so much of it that I really was doing my own thing, and that's just what I do now.

I used to be a freaking cocaine addict (and chained smoked two packs a day). It's been a while since I quit. By myself. Never felt better. Can't believe it's been that long either.

Weed is OK sometimes but I tend to only smoke it in the company of a girl. It's highly estrogenic, so yeah, you gotta keep up the effort at the gym and a healthy diet, which means never smoking enough that you are beaten by the munchies. Make sure to have a decent saturated fat + cholesterol intake for higher testosterone production.

SMART Reovery (Self Management And Recovery Training). It is a behavioral and cognitive way of combating addictive behaviors and being in control of yourself. A lot of the tools that are used here can be used in other aspects of your life. There is a tool called the ABC that is ideal to deconstruct irrational beliefs and replacing them for rational ones. I've found it useful to overcome any type of hamstering. It also teaches people that change is up to you and no one else. Most of the tools can be used for TRP. I would highly recommend it even if you are not addicted to anything.

I am a PMO addict recovering. (Porn-Masturbation-Orgasm, see /r/Nofap).

As TRP is helping me to see the world for what it is, it helps me gain power and control onto my lovelife. I begin to see the matrix and thus I'm more in control of my relationships with wimen. This way, I think TRP will help me to get wimen and to live healthy and happy relationships...why continue to PMO when you have one or plus girls?

So yeah, I think it'll definitly help me. Good luck to you too, man.
