Kicking Habits [Let's Play Getting Over Addictions]

I did this in college when I kept really forgetting to take it. The reason doctors tell you not to is because such a sudden change can cause physical ailments. Like really really bad ailments. At least that was my doctor's explanation. I didn't get those problems because it turned out I wasn't taking enough to actually affect me anyway.
And now I don't take anti-depressants anymore.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
There is serious discussion of SSRIs going on in this thread but this is something I can help with. Go cold turkey. Drink flavored Wal-Mart water for two months, is how I did it. When you get headaches, be confused and wonder why you have headaches.
True story, this is how I quit Mtn Dew.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
This may be silly to say, but entertainment is a major part of my life, as it is for everyone, but I'm also an entertainer. For me to commit to a joke, I have to laugh at it myself. Granted they're mostly about butts and farting, but I still need a compass to determine whether they're up to my standards. If my standards are unattainable, I don't know how I'd handle that.
I think it's like that A Softer World strip. "We cured sadness, also art." I don't want my pain taken away. I NEED my pain!

however the first month or so was rough and there is still occasional dong problems
also it is expensive as shit, so make sure you have insurance
My thing with coffee is that . . . it is warm. The only other hot drinks I really drink are hot chocolate (which all too often I am unable to make in a way that is satisfying) and tea in the way of herbal infusions, which are basically sugar water because they have no flavor water. I have been trying to convince my parents to let me buy some protein drinks and I am thinking of getting coffee flavored powder so I can at least get the flavor.
Coffee doesn't' stunt your growth. My growth pattern has been abnormal since birth, and before I started drinking it with any regularity.
I don't actually see much reason to quit coffee. There are days where I do not drink it and I do not suffer physical symptoms for it, I just miss it. It is ritual.
Please don't.
Please. Don't.
Tea would be a good stepping point down from coffee, on the way towards total caffeine independence. But please don't buy yuppie waters. Tea is noble and ancient tradition. Protein water is a corporation fucking with you.
Herbal infusions because we have the plants around the house (mint, lemongrass, orange-leaves) and packets of chamomile and dried brewing roses.
Wut. Okay fine put some protein muscle-building powder in your tea.
I am grinding my teeth at this post.
Between my teeth are pizza.
Have you tried some of these herbal infusions? The best infusion is made with hibiscus flowers. The water turns dark magenta. Tastes great.
Haven't really had any cravings, honestly quitting pot was a tad bit harder. Had to quit both cold turkey though or it never would of happened. It's only been 3 weeks but hey the longest I've gone without smoking before this was 3 days!
I am getting internet back at home, and I have a four day weekend now. I barely ever smoke when I am at home so I could just hole up for four days straight.
Going to get the medicine and actually talk to the doctor about stepping down the dosage and switching to something else and take more control of this thing because I'm fucking sick and tired of always feeling like shit, then every once in a while forgetting I even have problems and think I'm doing okay and then crashing harder than ever.
We talked about this....
They do not really like us buying things online.
Bypass them all together.
Shake protein is not connected to medium-rare meat.
Unless...
I guess I would finally be able to do that now. Before I was unable to take out any money from my bank account. I have thought of moving my money to a different bank and getting a debit under that.
I think they are worried about us buying things online because my sister is internet stupid and is going to like, give away all of our identities away some day. She hasn't that natural skepticism that is vital in this day and age.
Oh man, gotta say I miss milk. The only milk left standing after our fridge broke was nasty non-fat milk. I had never had it before and I shan't again. We then only bought enough milk for our morning coffees (we didn't know how long we would be without fridge). And I have had so much milk today now that we have proper gallons back in the fridge.
F that
MEAT!
This is how you will turn your life around.
Yeah, I kinda get taunted about that a fair amount.
edit: also I really love the hell out of buttermilk because of the delicious role it plays in making stale's biscuits
Artreus are you sure you need pills? Because buttermilk cures most everything.
