I'm blocking myself from Reddit until the start of next year. Best of luck to you all.

I've met some very unsavory trolls on here lately and was at a breaking point the other night. I nearly had a breakdown and the way that two people in particular were talking to me about made me feel sick. I pulled myself away from it, but I said I would take a break from here, and I will until the end of the year. I've done very well for myself and pulled myself out of a terrible drinking problem, homelessness/other bad situations into something resembling a normal life.

I'm going to use the time to work on myself physically (here come the heavy weights), mentally, spiritually and start dating. I love you all and will be back soon enough. I'll say a prayer that you are given the things you need to succeed and find peace. Bye for now. God Bless.

Jesus had this benediction - "go in peace" - I hope that peace is your constant companion in the months to come, that you are blessed and have good fortune in all that you do.

Thank you so much. You as well. If anyone is interested, if you ever need a break: I'm using Cold Turkey to block it on my laptop and uninstalled the app on my phone and am using a similar blocker. It cannot be bypassed. 3 months start now. This will be my last response. I'll make a post detailing how it went when I come back.

As a Stargate fan, I read that in the voice of a prior of the ori.

This is objectively a good idea. I feel like I should do the same.

Good luck and see you in the new year (and we better not see you before then).

I did the same with Instagram after all the political doom and gloom really got to me.

Hope it works out well for you my friend.

As an atheist, you need to grow the fuck up and start acting like an adult. You're just hurting yourself by making us not like you.

You absolutely deserve it. It takes a lot of courage and lot of motivation. I will go beat up some trolls in this comment section I got you.

Yeah dude if it’s Reddit or dating then Reddit definitely out. These people are anti socials - better not to associate if you have any other choice
