Here's how my life has changed since coming to voat: I've started lifting again, dropped alcohol intake by 80%, gone back to church, and the final holdout stopped watching porn (whatever)

I’m a successful business owner in my 30s. This is what the horrors of free speech have brought. I started building a home gym of which I’m already seeing gainzzz. Stopped drinking recreationally as much as I used to. I returned to church. When you turn away you learn that God calls to you, and you feel it in your soul. And the final nail was porn. I opened up my tabs the other night and all I saw was degenerate bullshit.

I literally married a debt free virgin with no tattoos about a decade ago and her sexy body still lights me up. We’ve got two wonderful kids and life couldn’t be better since I found you faggots and realized the pendulum swings back. We’re the counter culture now and shit is gonna change.

Lift, stay spiritual, and go fuck yourself I’m watching The Departed, I gotta go.

Good for you man. I am roughly in the same boat, just a few months ahead of you, and I have Voat and Stoicism to thank for it. I'm not huge on religion personally, though I am not against it completely. I have just had some bad experiences with organized religion, and I tend to avoid churches. I guess I have substituted Stoicism for religion, but it works for me.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Shit like this got me off my ass and keeps me going. I am trying to raise my boys to be good men, but how can I do that if I am not one myself?
