Kicking Habits [Let's Play Getting Over Addictions]

Jars

I've been trying to stop biting my nails for 9 years with some success.

Monkeyfeet

I quit after two to three years of smoking because, like zen, it became less enjoyable the more I did it and also I felt worse after a while.

I still smoke cigarettes regularly. I'm very sure I'm going to smoke weed again but I'm gonna do my best to not make it a three times a day, everyday, sort of deal

Everyone I know who's stopped smoking by choice has reflected what an awesome decision it is and they wish they'd stopped sooner.

Unfortunately they also become one of those people who expects everyone else to stop smoking right now and it's so easy why are you still doing it it's bad for you

I've had a couple of tokes in the three years I've been off it, once or twice while drunk and another time because I was in amsterdam and it seemed like the thing to do. I kinda wish I didn't do it in amsterdam though, I would have had a much nicer time.

hey just saying
not everyone has "night terrors" when halting usage of marijuana
in that
i have never ever met anyone who has dealt with this

They prescribe pot for PTSD patients coming back from dodging bullets in Afghanistan specifically cause it represses dreaming.

beasteh you don't drink?

I need to stop eating my thumbs.

i smoke pot when i am offered sometimes and never seek it out or buy it, that is my policy, so basically i only smoke like 0-3 times a month!

right now i need to drink less though
realized that i have had drinks every night for a week now

a large part of it is just there are a lot of social events to go to and inevitably i end up drinking some
and then work related events and i let myself get pressured by older coworkers to drink more

sooo i need to cut back, mostly for money reasons and the fact that i've gotten a lot fatter in the last year since my knee injury and falling off of my diet, and this certainly isnt helping

One of my friends quit smoking pot in high school.

Apparently after stopping, he said he felt really "psychic", because he could suddenly remember where he left things like his keys. He just knew where they were.

currssee him

well, he did quit though, so at least that part was true

Monkeyfeet

But in recent times I have quit soda.

So far not a problem. Actually there was a time a couple of days ago where I really wanted a coke but then I just drank water instead.

Staleghoti

the saddest part about this is my appetite is going to go out the window for a while.

So much for being average weight for the first time in my life.

Maybe I'm so old now that it won't matter and I'll get to keep my gut

Franko

here is a tip

stop

Shazkar Shadowstorm

why do you wanna keep your gut

Shazkar Shadowstorm

i want to get rid of my gut this is why i need to cut back on the booze

so sad, i was almost rid of it through diet and exercise but that wagon fell apart and now i must rebuild it as my gut is back to where it was before

When you spend most of your life weighing less than girls, you learn to appreciate any weight you have.

Shazkar Shadowstorm

you should make it so every time you want to smoke pot you eat an egg

both goals at once

Viscount Islands

Work out your appetite will go through the roof.

Maybe his friend was Nick Swardson.

Did the friend want John Stamos to show up at his funeral, cry a bit, and then leave so people would think he was friends with John Stamos?

Work out and you'll get those endorphin things and won't miss pot as much

Shazkar Shadowstorm

i'm also trying to kick the habit of being lazy and eating out all the time which is expensive and unhealthy

this is part of the plan.

I paid for a semester of access to the Carleton "Cardio Room"

Hoping to use that and access to the world's largest skating rink so lose my gut, keep my weight, and look and feel better

i stopped drinking caffeine and soda this week

it was easy

i just stopped doing it

Aphostile

Just stop it.

I'm sure that you don't have a physical addiction to it.

Mr Fuzzbutt

I thought about quitting cold turkey once.

Then I realised I only ever eat turkey at Christmas, and it's usually hot and there's not much left over.

Aphostile

But Fuzz, cold turkey sandwiches for a week after Thanksgiving/Christmas...

SOOOOO GOOOOOOD.

PiptheFair

the only habits I kick are worn by nuns

Fiz

I've cut way back on my caffeine, which is an accomplishment but I am not ready to cut it out completely. I've gotten headaches in the past when I've gone cold turkey, and the show I'm doing right now is pretty loud so I don't need any more bullshit on top of that.

Also I guess I wanna cut down on masturbation? I do it sometimes just because I haven't done it in a day or so and not because I really am horny or anything. That isn't good

Bendery It Like Beckham

I used to smoke pot... then I was all, "Nah... this aint cool no more, and it's expensive!" so i stopped.

then i used to smoke cigarettes... and I was like, "Wow I smell bad all the time..." so i stopped.

Garlic Bread

I think if you can say "i haven't done it in a day or so", you're not excessively masturbating

i hardly see what your protein consumption has to do with your drug addiction

i recommend rehab

I find if I've been jerking off I have like NO stamina when it comes to actual sex

But if I'm doing it because I'm bored and figure that is a good way to kill 30 minutes that isn't good either

waking up into another dream into another dream times 20 wears you the fuck down

This strikes me as kind of a fantastic reason to never start smoking pot.
