basically what i have found is the alternatives to vices would be hobbies and food that being the only real sources of legal safe forms of mental stimulation so to put time into practicing with interests the daydreams
what really does anything besides 'vices' so there's sex or masturbation there's gambling dungeons and dragons there's substance abuse heroine marijuana cigarettes alcohol all of that gives you joy signals to your brain but what else is there
the downside to the vices is there can be innumerable real dangers with it so what is a safe alternative or other source of fun what can you still do that'll be alright and not leave you with cancer debt hiv to name a few bad outcomes
so looking into my research on this what i have found thus far would be there's hobbies those can be sources of joy to do something like a 'pastime' to even watch television or dvds or internet too there's what i dub the 'artschool habits' all those creative projects to get into and progress with to grind and accumulate and even build a portfolio of completions of the hobbies
then there's food so that is a troublesome one too though how easy it is to get fat so that being legal and necessary to get a bite to eat every day the three meals breakfast lunch and dinner then the option for any snacks throughout the rest of the day how easy it is to get groceries and then being careful about that to not get health issues
so not getting in trouble with the rules to be lawful to be obedient of the doctors orders too because for me that's a source of 'survival' to get paid from the veterans affairs so using my time and energy on things that interest me to watch youtube to read books to use my brain the daily routines and what to do at each part the office hours
religion the sunday catholic mass to participate with the church to be charitable to say the prayers to go to confession to believe in god to do my part and also look out for myself to not get sucked into some spiral of trouble to make sure i am ok first
some ones i can think of would be guitar piano recordings photography video paintings miniatures blogging writing lessons reviews um so having the free time and the energy to advance with whichever interest that source of joy my freedom
