keep up the good work folks.

it will save ya money

I know you're talking about tobacco..but I quit smoking POT about 3 years ago. I was USED TO IT. HOOKED, yeah, but I REALLY enjoyed it. Then it became a truth serum...and I dwelled on the negative aspects of my life..not LALA land, so when it became UNfun...it was EASY to quit.

However, things aren't NEARLY as FUN as they used to be...the physical part was EASY..but the mental part..the "friend" of my partnership with POT was gone....I miss THAT. I miss being of the mental state to enjoy being high...

I'm just glad POT didn't have the same physical addiction as tobacco...but hell, I AM mentally addicted, and want the joy I experienced while smoking POT to return. I just have to remain strong so I don't smoke again then face the heebie jeebies I got HIGH...

Does that help? Probably not, but I wanted to share my experience with what I smoked and my quitting.

I want to smoke again someday, if I can ever exorcise my demons !!!!!

I actually have a friend who can't go everyday without being under the influence of something, wether is alcohol or weed.

Is that weird?...

exactly what i was wondering, is that uncommon?

it's rare but there are people like that. i knew one who would get physically aggressive when he had to face a night without anything. Obviously drugs affect different people differently so you might be ok, on the other hand its a recipe for disaster, by the time you hit your 30's what shape will you be in and what kind of amounts will you be needing to do to feel anything? You don't want to end up with some serious addictions. On the other hand you both make great art and seem fine so whatever the fuckit, i'm sure you'll be ok. I am not the person to talk to about this shit, i can't really ever get away with doing anymore drugs again, not that i'd want to.

drugs are for losers.

Only users lose drugs

I did that when I was about 10. The craic in school was that you could get high off tea bags. Problem was, rolling it using toilet paper and nearly burning me face off. Had to throw it out the bathroom window as me parents walked in.

just remember it all starts with grass. Grass is the gateway to the harder drugs. Also remember alcohol is one of the hardest drugs out there. One can die from alcohol withdrawals yet one does not die from heroin/opiate withdrawals..

Yes sir! mr rehab, sir. I actually started with the grass on the front lawn of my local town hall, rolled up in a bus ticket. No filter - that is how i rolled...

rare diesel appearance?

a friend of mine who is a bum gave me the number of some smoker's survey thing, apparently they ask you questions and give you a pack of cigarettes at the end, and once you've gone and completed 3 of the surveys you get $120

i hope everything is as appears with this because a hundred bucks and a bunch of cigarettes would kick ass

wouldn't that fuck up your cock horribly?

thank Diesel glad I could help you....;^)

Until I get the net in my new place it'll be this way i'm afraid. I know yuz miss uz! but it's gotta be like this as i'm full of busy/everything's gan wrong! - My cars dead, my house got damp, my bedroom window won't open, tv's on the blink, i'm trying to get my car tax refunded and i'm taking the fight to the silly bint who killed my car. I got google images of the crash site and everything!! can't lose...

I've not done anything musical for months and it's effing shite!

ps it was me birthday yesterday, anadins gan strong.

birthday thread on the way.

such bullshit - the human brain is hardwired to enjoy consciousness enhancers. Humans have used them as as far back as recorded history goes. The Greeks with their Mysteries, the ancient Indians with Soma, the Egyptians with cocaine, the Chinese with hemp and opium, the Aztecs made a sick brew of spider and snake venoms and other deliriants.

One can argue it is UNNATURAL to NOT to use consciousness enhancers.

What's yr current smoking status?

I'm two weeks off them. Feeling good about having stopped. I was a 25-30 a day man. Using 25 mg patches.

I managed 8 months off them in 2009. This time, I think I've cracked it. It just feels right ;)

8 days.

keep it up m'man.

^^therapy free?

Is it too late to reply to this? Sorry, didnt see it. Hopefully youre not being facetious, but no I'm not studying medicine. I do have a superficial passing interest in brain chemistry and behavior and all that, but I'm no expert.


How Ni'k doing with the no smoking, anyway?

5 days- utter depression, not a strong urge to smoke but i have done literally nothing but over eat junk and watch tv and feel very very lethargic and depressed.

fuck an animal--- it will make you feel good!

i just had oral sex with a roasted chicken--- it was fucking delicious! i stuffed it with 2 leeks (oh yeah) and fired it up 20' per pound plus 20' for the stuffing.

awesome.

organic birds are TASTY and i love to tooth-fuck them.

anyway, junk food just makes you ill! if you wanna learn about nature, go eat something from the woods or a non-industrial farm or something. hunt for truffles. pick berries. go milk a grass-eating cow and churn some butter.

go for a walk or something, for fucks sakes. your serotonin levels appear shot. or is it the dopamine?

anyway, dopamine = rewards. go enjoy something.

Ni'k, make your way to Boots, their treatment seems to be working for a few people highly addicted to nicotine. And it's FREE.

I'm on day 10. It's going great. I'm using patches.

You need to RUN. Well, maybe walk at first - but get out into the fresh air. Exercise really does give you a boost to keep with it. Also, remember the reasons you gave up.

Smoking is not cool. My great uncle can't take a shower without having a rest half-way through. He fucked his life smoking cigarettes. You're young enough to reverse the damage already done.

My uncle just died at 52. Lung and liver cancer. Died 6 weeks after finding out. He smoked less than you did. Probably drank more mind :D

Fuck that - 52!!! I'm like nearly that (36). SY are older than that!

STICK WITH IT :)

Cigarettes are great man! They now come with Vitamin C!

I'm starting smoking next week

wish me luck

ni'k

I officially quit smoking over 2 years ago (after the on and off for 10 years.)

Like I mentioned earlier, after a couple months it never ever entered my mind, unless I got really stressed out, then the thought would surface but I would ultimately let it fade out becuase by then it was just outside of me.

Well, this week I've been super stressin', and the lovely nicotine entered my brain like a random parasite whore sucking on an open pore, and I indulged. Well, the very next day, that very same desire came back, almost like an exact copy of desire, and I indulged again. The next day...well, you get the idea. I didnt indulge on the third day, though. It seemed too obvious of a program. That's what it is! It's all it is. God, it tasted and felt so good. But, fuck...that's all it is. A new program that gets so old and fucks you up so bad so quick.

SO dont go back, ni'k. It's not worth how good that one breaking point feels. It really isnt. It disappears the second you take it.

It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. Split up with girlfriend today. Fuck.

Ni'k,

I quit on Nov 28 1998. It was the best thing for me. I had many mood swings and severe loss of concentration but it was worth it. Don't worry about weight gain, irratability or whatever, just keep going.

When I quit I had a hard time listening and focusing, really hard. Also a strong desire to eat or put things in my mouth.

The best thing also is when you have that onset of psychosis accept it as something that will pass in a few hours.

What I used to do was go into a dark room with no one around and just lay on the ground. The onset of psychosis is like a tornado that will eventually pass. Weep if necessary.
