I’m addicted to driving

[preventingdiabetes]

I recently got my licence and all I can think about is driving. It’s almost like a video game for me. It’s too fun driving a car.

 

I never thought that I would literally be craving to drive. How do I stop this craving and addiction? Do I just keep on driving to get bored of it/exhaust it?

Actually that is what happens to almost everyone when they get license and in some point you may just want someone else to drive, because you understand it again how kingly it is just to sit on car and have someone to drive you to places. When you first get licence that makes you lot of more free, because you are NOW to decide wherever you go and whenever you come back.

It's actually pretty heart warming to hear that people have problems of life being almost too fun  Become child again and think everything as a game for yourself and that is how you transform your life to the fullest. Highest spiritual teach is just to be child and play in this infinite field of playground. You got the essence of life and whenever you get bored to that then find something else to be "addicted" like child to candy. Every spiritual teacher teaches not to cling on things, but if it is pure joy then that is something which is essence of life and that shouldn't be taken away : ) 

Learn to be happy in moment whatever it is and then you won the game per se. It's your life and do whatever you want, but be safe <3

JK, it might not be an addiction and it is just your zeal to ride ur new skills (ride or die ,remember!) this fad will fade away overtime....

if it doesn't ,try applying the same principles used to get rid of other addictions.

@Kksd74628 But I literally crave it all day. It distracts me from other things, and it’s an issue because it also distracts me from doing things that bring me towards my goals. 

I drive my car on manual, and that makes it 10x more fun. The problem is that now I’m addicted to driving. It’s just like being addicted to video games, it’s all you think about.

What does ride or die mean?

How long could it take for this fad to fade away? I need to get back on track quick. 

I drove for like 3 hours today for no reason other than enjoyment. I didn’t even need to go anywhere.

Will I eventually exhaust this craving over time?

You could drive your friends from place A to place B and earn some money from it and at the same time you could enjoy driving. Also if possible in your country then go to drive taxi licence and you could actually do that for a living until you get bored to it if ever. Also I will little bit play with you so I give you video about rally downshift and only after learning to do that - driving becomes even funnier  Just stay safe : )

Why don't you get a job like being an uber driver or doing food delivery for a while until you've gotten it out of your system?

[Kksd74628]

@Tristan12

Exactly! I just forgotted that food delivery was a thing and it does not even need taxi license if I am right. 

Ps. you could deliver tofu like in Initial D
