A lot of folks are saying the symptoms are addictive.. ie its an addiction.. i dont believe that.. tigro isnt under addiction without control .. in the captivation of something that tigro has no control over..

tigro still has control.. if tigro was an an addict ...tigro would not seek advice.. since SL is available.. the drug that tigro needed is available.. tigro would not need advice or help.. the drug is all, provides the solution.. tigro would not be here..tigro would not need us, since the solution for an addict is the drug.

I must succeed in everything I do.” “I must be loved.” “I must be in control.” “I feel inadequate.” From our earliest years, teaches Wolinsky, the nervous system creates a false self that can trap us in a specific constellation of fears, frustrations, and psychological patterns. In this trance of the false self, we lose contact with the greater dimensions of who we really are – what the spiritual traditions of the world have called “the One Substance,” “God,” or “the Void of Undifferentiated Consciousness.”

Ive no faith in Wolinsky.. i am just quoting something that every one of feels in some aspect.


it is blase to suggest addiction without identification.. no one who has posted here has identified why, and with what foundation they consider on reasoning, that tigro has addiction.

tigro will unfound those who do..tigro is not addicted. my faith is in the definition of addiction.. and what tigro has posted. tigro gives all the preassumptions a finger in the eye...:)


Whatever all that meant, Tigro is calling for help, he thinks he has a problem, regardless of the technical term for his problem.............

If you have a cold.. you might take aspirin, or cough mixture.. but until you know what it is that you are ill from.. you are just treating symptoms not the cause.. its like saying "you have a cold" when actually its flu.. now ok.. ive no problem with general assumption, but to start talking about addiction as if your certain that is what it is.. without knowing the background history or anything really is certainly an assumption..

The textual definition isnt my concern.. never was.. i at least tried to point that out in my first and subsequent posts.

but, correctly there is no point in evaluating what the exact cause is here.. it isnt the right place. and i am as guilty of persuing my own agenda as anyone .. so i am going to stop..

my best wishes to tigro, i really hope tigro finds a solution.

this is crazy :D


I'd still like to know what exactly Tigro's reasons are for suspecting a true addiction....that might help in judging the situation better. But if you yourself don't really know, Tigro, maybe there are RL psychologists on SL that WOULD listen to you.

(Actually I know of at least one, but I can't allow myself to recommend him, he was the annoying neighbour with the lighthouse light we had trouble with) But that means there ARE psychologists in SL, you just have to find them.


and yes there are psychologists in sl, like I said , IM me or do a search, use ' (SL)counselor(s).
