Solidex:Honestly you said it all. Maybe just seek out other forms of cheap dopamine. I'm sensing undiagnosed adult ADHD. Join a sports team or put yourself in situations where you won't have lots of free time. It's well, it's not easy being a young man in Nigeria. |

dahmie2013:As adults we need to start taking responsibility for our actions mehn. What's demonic about already wiring your brain to appreciate certain impulses and developing the will to rewire your brain to appreciate other things. It's hard Yes, but it's in taking responsibility that you stop generational bad habits or what gullible people have been conditioned by strong willed well educated pastors with means to call generational wickedness. |

At 33, you are far from being a boy |

ChildOfDoom:You’re not the worst version of your father. You’re a man on the edge of a massive turning point. Whether you fall deeper or climb out depends not on your strength today — but on your daily decisions from now on. And even when you fall, get up again. You're not too far gone. I’m here to help you stay honest and focused. If you like, drop your Day 2 tracker tomorrow. You go again. |

You need Jesus. You cant fight this all by yourself. If this is not a vicious cycle, then I don't know what it is. You already know your end if you tow your father's path. Your determination is good, but not enough. The very first step is to submit to the lordship of Jesus. Then make up your mind to stop. Do these two and see how the smell of alcohol will want to make you vomit. I have seen people with this experience, even worse. One of them even added weed addiction join. With his own mouth he testified that he feels nauseous whenever he even pass by a beer palour. He cut off all his friends as part of his determination. Do same. Go to a Bible believing church and surrender. Matt 11.29 Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavily laden, and I shall give you rest. Face your God when you go to church, as there are lots of distractions and discouraging things people do that may make you relapse. All still are the handiwork of the enemy-Satan. Shalom! |

Oga where I gave up was when you addressed yourself as a 33 year old boy who feels he is young with age in his side. Lol |

Hopefully nobody cares |

Everyone’s saying go to church … Even if you are an idol worshipper 50 percent of people around you believe in one of the two major religions. If you’re 33 and none of the two major religions have moulded your will so far … what would immersing yourself in a congregation of similar people with defeatist mentality looking for a miracle do ? When Jesus himself the person you are supposed to mirror your behavior along .. would tell you use common sense, be more mindful and appreciate the little things in life ?? Abi what is Proverbs about ? Our religious, especially Christian indoctrination as Nigerian baffles me .. sends me into whiplash whenever I read 'Christians' talk about religion. |

The most important thing is that you're being honest with yourself. May God see you through. One day at a time, you're getting there. Soldier on!! |

I really feel for you however, there is this saying "You are your own god and your own devil" There are simple practical materials out there you can grapse, peruse to overcome all your addiction. It's not too late, I think you have started your healing process already since you have identified your additions, next is to act to ensure you keep to the practical steps you will learn from the material. Think of productive actions you can engage in to take your mind away from your addictions. You just need to be intentional. ChildOfDoom: |

Put in more efforts, you will conquer your addictions. |

7 ChildOfDoom:You need to break free from the strong hold of that demon as it's obvious it's a generational thing. Those forces have ruined your dad and they have come for you. You need to make conscious effort at breaking free if not your dad's fate may be staring at you. Pray to God to deliver you from this. Your own physical strength will always fail you. You need the grace of God to break free. |

How old is your Dad? For you to be 33 years old, your Dad must have lived to an old age. There are people with a healthy lifestyle that didn't get to half of that age. Health issues can happen to anyone. Not to excuse your Dad's womanizing or alcoholism but the truth is it might not even be related to any of his current problems. I don't believe in the concept of "abstinence" in the concept of "running away" from anything. God made everything good. Rather, I believe in delayed gratification. For me, it's okay to do the pleasures you love as long as it is legal, enjoyable to you, and doesn't infringe on another human's comfort. But make sure that pleasure is a reward for having done the hard/right things. Pleasure shouldn't be a lifestyle but a reward for personal improvement. As "Cheat day" is to the fitness enthusiast, so should pleasure be to a "man". |

If you believe in bio hacking. Go on TRT. Testosterone is cheap in Nigeria, 100mg a week and you would feel like superman and have a clearer outlook on life .. a lot of rumination and religious crutches faced by men in Nigeria is because a lot of us have low testosterone, coupled with mid life crisis. An 18 year old boy bursting with testosterone would never feel like this. Every male should be on low dose Tadalafil to help with our prostates that's always growing ... why most Nigerian men especially drinkers spend minutes in the toilet every morning and night once they get older. If you really believe your addictions are stronger than you, you can take NAC to help curb the craving. All of these are proven and cost less than 70k you spent on funz. |

Jesus saves! He can still fix your broken heart. Sincerely declare your weakness to him, and see him fix your life with newness again. Reach out to me for more counsel. God bless you. |

monikulapo:Interesting. This goes against everything I know |

Make exercise your lifestyle.Both cardio and resistance training.You can register in a gym if you can.Go there regularly even when you don't feel like it.Your mental and physical health is going to improve, certainly. |

I hope you try talking to someone, take good care of yourself, pray and get close to God(I know it ain't easy). Most men deal with addiction of some sorts too, it's not easy at all. So stay strong and keep trying. The best way to go is to reduce how often you do these things, and find other things that could take your time or space, sports, or maybe start donating to an orphanage (it helps). Building new habits and steadily the old ones will fade away. But it's not going to be easy at all, it takes a lot of commitment. Fight the battle one day at a time, and if you fall, try shaking it up and continue fighting even if you keep falling, try to keep fighting. You can overcome. I believe in you sir. |

monikulapo:Why not go to the gym and train to boost your testosterone, instead?Those Growth enhancing supplements are very bad and fatal in the long run.You might just end up your own as as a result of abuse. |

My great friend , without much talks.. you're still young to change all of this .. you may write a watchword for yourself that you will see everyday. What you don't want and look for replacement.. be decisive, determined and follow the rules you've laid down about your life ... |
| Re: I Might End Up Miserable Like My Dad by delpee(f): 12:02am On Sep 26, 2025 |
Your moniker indicates an acceptance of your status. You need to affirm positive values consistently and pray for God's guidance and support to turn things around for good. Think in terms of the fulfillment of God's purpose for your life each time you want to go astray. You know right from wrong. Learn to control your mind and you'll be free from the grip of evil thoughts which leads to terrible actions. Engage in sports, worship or creative activities that positively occupies your time. Focus on working towards your freedom and you'll surely succeed. |
