let them go, as with most things letting go opens the door to our endless potential. memories are no different
-
Drugs? I wouldn't suggest that though...so deal with them how you can. In the end, memories serve to convince one that their life wasn't a waste. And it isn't, because, whether good or bad, all memories make you wiser, and that's always good.

I don't think you really can kill memories Lynn. Driving them deeper, they'll come back later to haunt you, PTSD-style. Meghan and I both have to deal with this.Bring them out, examine them, talk about them with trusted friends or a counselor.It softens them and makes the memories more palatable to live with. +3 and (hugs) Lynn

By replacing them with new beautiful ones.

Energy that produce memories will NEVER go away if you INSIST on moving it to the present. Focusing on the present EXCLUSIVELY allows random thought energy and some memories to dissipate. I cannot over emphasize this. Being responsible for what you think is a valuable skill. You must learn to CONSCIOUSLY choose a pleasant memory EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU BECOME AWARE OF UNWANTED MEMORIES/THOUGHTS. http://jamesallen.wwwhubs.com/think.htm

smoke weed and drink alcohol

Learn from your mistakes. Most of the problems in our lives are self-inflicted, due to either poor choices, or indecisiveness (also interpreted, arguably, as not actively taking responsibility for your life). A miraculous thing happens when you learn from your mistakes; you are able to leave your mistakes where they belong....in the past. You might retain the memories, but there will no longer be any bad emotions connected to them. Self-forgiveness comes so much easier after that! Your self-esteem improves dramatically, which also means less mistakes in the future, because you are no longer setting yourself up for failure by operating from a piss-poor self-image. It begins to dawn on you that you deserve better. You aren't as broken inside as you thought you were. +5

Find someone to hypnotise you and make you forget what you want.

While you can certainly damage the brain's ability to recall memories I doubt memories, per se, can be destroyed.

change them , turn them into lessons learned.

You cant kill memories, they are the darnest things, you can kill your tendency to revisit them every second by focusing on other things, and staying in the moment. Good luck

I don't. I don't want to. Even those events in life that may seem less than pleasant have, or have had, their positive purpose. My S/O, suffering from Alzheimer's disease for over ten years, now, has essentially lost all of his memories, including those of me...and they were wonderful memories. No, good or "bad", I don't want to, as you say, "kill" my memories. +5

I knew a guy that huffed model glue for a few years, now the guy doesn't even remember who he is and gets lost in his front yard.

Memories along with dreams is what you are made of. Kill one and the other will kill you.

Take an anti-depressant. It's supposed to keep you in the here and now.

..I have a very very good "forget" spell....sometimes those memories must be forcibly removed.. ~,~

The best to kill memories is just assume that it was another dreams and has past away.
-
Memories never die.They just get stored for future references.They can be relegated to a corner by powerful new memories and love is the only tool to do that.Being in love and giving love keeps us in great state of mind and sad memories hide from that powerful truth!+
-
As hard as you might try, you will never be able to kill them. Best is to make many new, happy memories for the bad ones to move more to the back.
-
Ironically, the more you want to forget something, the more you'll remember it. So the answer is learning to not want to forget or not care about forgetting (basically learning to be okay with your past).
-
By smoking too much dope.
-
It can't be done, expecially if you are actively trying to forget/kill them. The best thing to do is to reframe the memory. Focus on the small good that came out of a bad situation. Over time, you may be able to associate that bad situation with the good outcome turning it into a good (or at least benign) memory.
