Vices and Virtues

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

Proposed in the 1800s by Henry Fuseli the cornerstone of humanity; vices being our depravity and virtues being the antithesis, what are some that you have?

For me, I stopped drinking 4 years ago when I had my gallbladder removed and had to in order to recovery. I decided it would be now or never to quit altogether, so I did. I do however still smoke the devils lettuce as well as microdose. I also always have an unopened pack of cigarettes as like a "In case of emergency break glass" or in this case break seal. Fast food is also a blight on me. I can cook, but sometimes the process greatly outweighs the reward especially if I happen to decide to make fresh bread of any kind.
As for virtues, whenever I attend anything that has a need to be planned, such as a concert or a convention I always carry some lose bills on me, with the amount depending on where, to give out to anyone in need. I know this may fuel their own vices, but I don't care, if I have it and they don't then that's all there is to it. Another virtue I guess as far the planet goes is I live close to a shopping center, so if I don't need to drive I don't. I'm even known in the neighborhood as the "Nomad scientist" which honestly is a name I considered for the forum but meh. Another thing during walks I do are if there so happens to be someone that needs something like help moving I drop whatever I'm doing and offer to help.
Those are just a few things, and I'm sure there's more, but what are some that you guys have? Also remember, have fun, this isn't me with like a notepad Bruce Wayne style with his contingency plans or anything. Also, abstain from judging if you would so kindly. Anyway, carry on.

i am afraid i posses very few virtues, if any, and quite a lot of vices
i was addicted to heroin for over a decade and it has strongly altered the course of my life
the only way i was able to stop my usage was by becoming addicted to a different, arguably worse drug
i would and still spend days without sleep or food in the company of those who would provide intimacy
unfortunately my heart is very weak and i suffered from a heart attack in my 20s due to my habits, and am generally anaemic and weak
it has been around a month since i have engaged in those kinds of activities, and my weight has steadily risen to a powerful 53kgs
in time i may come to posses virtues, i am very grateful someone like me has such wonderful and kind friends in life in spite of myself

Heroin is the one thing I always avoided because I've lost a few friends from it. I hope you're able to prevail, and find those virtues.

I suppose when it comes to Virtues I enjoy fitness and exercise a lot, particularly martial arts, and enjoy staying active.

While not the worst thing in the world, my biggest vice is almost certainly caffeine. I can drink coffee, tea, and other caffeinated drinks all day and night, and have a bad habit of leaning into them to make up for my poor sleeping habits.

Just waxing but I feel like the acceptance of being deserving of peace and capable of rehibilitation just in the virtue of being a human has been incredibly important in my own healing. Good luck friend congrats on one month !

I have many flaws as a person, many, many, !!!
But i think my only real vice is how comfortable i feel while i'm lonely, this make me forget the valuable company of my recent friends here in RGT. I'm really lucky to meet great people here, and despite my love for loneliness, i'm learning to appreciate company the best i can.

My virtues doesn't exists.

Honestly some solitude is quite solid.

Vices: I was a known drug user who also lied a lot, drank like there was no tomorrow and even shoplifted on occasion. None of that makes me proud, and I'm not sure it ever did.

Virtues: I'm always willing to talk through problems, to see what's truly bothering people; where the hurt originates. I'm also not above bending my neck or apologizing. You can argue that that's the bare minimum expected of a person of my age (and I'm not gonna fight you on it), but it took a long time for me to reach this point.

I used to smoke the occasional cigarette, and in my youth I tried a few joints, but nothing more than that...
As for alcoholic drinks, I never really liked them...
In that sense, a few people I knew back then ended up in a really bad way.
