Becoming a hermit

I quit booze nearly 3 years ago.Made big improvements to my mental health- and killed my social life.Not complaining tho.
My social life was already dead but I know what you mean. Actually I thought I was going to become a social zombie when I quit drinking, I thought that even my conversations with friends and family would be completely dull, but this is not the case I'm still able to laugh and hold conversation I'm just not as loud and emotional.

I'm doing good I've since given up on the idea of becoming a hermit I don't think I could survive. I have been practicing a few meditations such as inner body awareness and have really connected with my inner peace. I am beginning to study eastern philosophy and scripture and a trip to India is not out of the question.

.You sound like u r doing okay.I had bad chronic
pain issues from multilple injuries.I managed to get rid of the pain and heal my body using meditation and qi-gong.let me know if you want me to elaborate.I have spent some time in India.Cambodia is my next destination of choice.
I think you may find some sense of community in meditation ashram.
Zen master OSHO is my favourite GURU.The Book of Secrets, is great.

I will definitely read The Book of Secrets thanks I have been practicing Zen for 8 years now a book I would highly recommend is "A New Earth " by Eckhart Tolle. I read Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body and found some great breathing practices as well as the screening your body practice and some great lessons on posture. However qi gong is not meant to be fully practiced by people with certain mental illness' and I know why when I was in the hospital I did a full head scan and ended up relapsing into psychosis I think I could even feel the rush of dopamine while I was scanning and too much dopamine is not good for a schizophrenic that's what my medication does is lower dopamine. I still found some great wisdom while studying qi gong thanks for the suggestion.

@DaSprout @sunni @supreme bean @qwizoking I've found the perfect solution for me, I'm going to become a trucker; I'm going to Maine in September. And I said I would never move to the states lol. It's perfect bc I can handle the solitude and it gives just enough interaction to keep me sane.
do you have your class a?
maine huh, not exactly a hub. usually trucks throw product around Pennsylvania new York and the likes with thosr "fixed" trucks going into maine and far ne

pa, ne, Maryland are hubs in the n.e
but not a lot leaving. they just take it like a slut.
wa, or, il ia, Michigan , ate the best areas..


you can end up just running cross country back and forth. the petro buffet outside laramie wy go hatd

Thanks for the Intel no I don't have my class a that's why I'm going to the states bc they don't train on the job up here you gotta take a course and it's like $5000. I'm moving to the states for 2 months in hopes of landing a job with a company that trains. Will definitely consider the states you mentioned.
My sister lives 20 mins outside of Philly in NJ so maybe I'll head down that way

Holy fuck never even thought about a follicle test thanks for bringing this to my attention, imagine giving up weed for a month just to fail the follicle test. I gave up weed 2 days ago not moving down till the 1st so that gives me 3 weeks clean before I even start applying. I will definitely shave my head.

Yes I am definitely going to apply to cr England and Schneider. Ya I know a lot of the company's pay for travel and lodging so I just figured I'd move to Maine bc the rent is cheaper. It's just that I need to be residing in the us and need a us license before they'll even look at me. Thanks for all the advice appreciate it
