Kicking Habits [Let's Play Getting Over Addictions]
Posts
okay
i made it halfway through page 2 before i screamed
thank you
And now I know just how important that is, so I can't imagine bringing these concerns up to him.
But I quit smoking cigs
It was pretty easy, they taste gross now
on the way there, my mom made me promise i wouldn't pick up a cigarette habit because "you dress like a hipster now and i know how they are"
don't worry, mom
this is amazing
and i do not believe that sex is an addiction, screw dr drew.
Many people think food can't be addictive. This is false on a physiological level. The reason humans and really all animals survive is when they eat, the pleasure portion of their brain is tickled, and if it is tickled too often, it becomes resistant to tickling, and it takes more food than normal to tickle it like a normal person.
Many people also think food is an easy addiction to kick. There are practically no other addictions where you have to still avail yourself of them 2 to 3 times a day. It's like telling someone who is quitting smoking "Okay, now just smoke three cigarettes every day for the rest of your life." The first thing he's going to do is want more cigarettes. (I'm not belittling cigarette addicts or saying it's easier to quit.)
I sometimes think if I just had a feeding tube so I never had to buy or look at food again, I could quit the habit much more easily and add some years to my life.
huh, i had never thought of this
:^:
Hell if I even know what that necessarily entails anymore though. Give us a picture of your in your most hipster glory.
that said i don't have a sweet tooth at all, so it's a lot easier to eat all the good stuff i want and not be overly unhealthy
because they're bad for you, and not cheap.
but i fucking love smoking.
I've always wanted to try smoking weed as a vice - it seems like something that would benefit me as I never feel creative like I did when I was younger and have a hard time destress-ing at times.
oh, i'm not that bad. i don't have any pics on this computer anyway
i think it's the skinny jeans that prompted that comment
also i gotta move outta my house. livin with grandparents and parents suuuucks.
no
I quit cigs when I realized, holy SHIT they waste alot of money.
And since I quit, 2yrs ago my brand has gone up to $15/pack! yikes
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

blinked, scrolled down
hey man, up until recently i was a college student. can't git no gat dang job cuz i got no gat dang car.
i aint got a lotta options.
i can't think of a drug that would make me less creative or more stressed
meth
All my jeans apart from my work ones are skinny jeans. What is wrong with them?
Also, I used to bite my nails all the time, and stopped several times. But I haven't bitten them since the beginning of September, the longest I haven't bitten them for. Go me.
Exactly. I stop every so often, just to make sure I still can, but it's like a vital part of my day is missing.
I don't get irritable, really. I don't get super withdrawal-pissy. I don't get shaky or nauseated or suffer any physical effects. I just miss it. Like when I go too long without good sushi or fantastic sex or seeing a good friend, but times 100. I'm definitely addicted, don't get me wrong, but it's more in my mind than in my body.
Once again: smoking right now.
Also, for those of you who read the injury thread, I was on some pretty stellar opiate painkillers for about a week. I wouldn't let myself ever be on them as a constant, but boy did THAT bring back some memories.
That I would like to relive over and over and over again.
But it would probably kill me, so the "over and overs" wouldn't be that many.
All that said, it's nice to not have painful, bloody, exposed quick anymore.
i wish i could help him out
Just sounds like an extended family household. They are relatively common in other parts of the world and even considered ideal. Yeah it can get annoying though, having done that for 3 years (plus my uncles lived there too). The place just feels physically too small for that many people.
crack

I stopped a few years ago after I became unable to have a "good trip".
Which really sucks cause mushrooms are awesome
also; i'm pretty glad i don't get paranoid when i smoke reefer any more. being paranoid suuuux.
there was that one time i thought a werewolf was going to kill me. that was pretty zany.
fortunately enough i can't talk about meth from experience
Spider-Man 2, front row, shrooms.
That was an awesome day
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
