Yeah, that's what I think too. I had my day with it, days long past now, but I know a few people who are smoking 24/7, and nobody can tell me they aren't addicted in some respect. If everybody they know is 'dry' they pretty much freak out.

MJ is a good icing on the cake of life, but too many begin to make it the cake.

Working out really makes a huge difference... it makes you feel better than any substance can. I have been working out and man, I rarely even drink beer now.

Indeed, but I didn't know it at the time. The only reason I found out the wench was a PETA member was from her return address label. The issue with the crushed has has been taken care of, the money had been returned through Papal and negative feedback has been left. :evil:

Never really thought of it that way. I've recently cut way back on my Dr. Pepper consumption. I had an easier time quitting smoking...

Until then, you will be irritable. The mood swings can be very severe. Nicotine is only an addiction because of the longevity that your body has run on it. You dont smoke one cigarette and are suddenly addicted. Your body has to aclimate to it. Once it does, and then you try to stop your body is starving for it. That applies whether it is nicotine, fat, sugar, whatever.
This is a good explanation as to why the Atkins diet is crap, as well.

this depends on who you ask. some psychologists think a mental addiction is harder to quit than the physical addiction. for example, if you want to quit cigs, or chew, all you have to do is get over the physical withdrawls that go along with it. no small task i know, i'm a smoker. on the other hand, a mental addiction is harder to convince yourself of the want to quit, and your mind will "make up" physical symptoms of withdrawl.
regardless of which is an easier habit to quit, both are mountains that are difficult to climb.

That's because you have cut back on it and not quit.

To cut back is the same as trying to quit smoking and every so often, you smoke a few cigs. You either quit, or you just prolong the torture. Eventually, you will get tired of the torture, and give up.

kcfanXIII 02-12-2006 04:03 PM

AND I'M FREAKIN OUT MAN!!!!

Don't get me wrong, you make a valid point but there is a mental aspect that goes along with chewing as well. I know the first time I go out fly fishing this spring without chewing is going to be a bitch. The same goes for hunting and several other activities that one relates to putting in a dip. A person starts mentally incorporating various tasks in life with putting in a dip, lighting up, or downing a can of Mountain Dew.

The bottom line is, a person has to be ready to quit no matter what habit they are trying to break. If that's not the case, the probability of success is going to be limited at best.

i think fly fishing in itself is an addiction. the local trout season doesn't start till march 1 and i'm ready to go now. i'd say for sure not being able to go fishing is bothering me more right now than the fact i'm out of pot.

there was a party at my house yesterday and people took pain pills before drinking. sooo 8th grade

Bowser 02-12-2006 04:11 PM
You could always take up golf, as well. Of course, you'd only be replacing one addiction for another.
