ok here's the deal; I am currently giving up smoking so my cravings are driving me insane.

this is a thread for everyone to let off steam about their various addictions and how cravings suck.

ok, so i could murder a coffee (too late to have one) and a fag (not a gay dude) right now. anyone else?

DUde dont give into temptation. Quiting smoking was by far one of the smartest things I have ever done. I save over 100 bucks every month, I dont smell like shit all the time, and I am no longer a slave to the cigarette break. Its gonna be real hard but you can do it. Now all I gotta do is kick the crack and ill be just fine.

The most addicting things for me are internet games. The little mindless ones like on pogo.com and all that. I love those.

message boards would be another one

I'd say caffeine, but only because when I try not to drink it, I get huge headaches Sad and then I end up giving up because i love dr pepper

movies too. I have to watch movies, or go to the movies all the time. we got about $100 in theater gift certificates for my birthday and christmas from everyone...that's the one thing they know to get me Smile

I am addicted to Mountain Dew, but probably it's more due to the caffeine, I used to like how the Dew tastes, now I think it tastes like shit but I still drink swimming pools full of it. I also eat too many damn burger from burger king, pizza is pretty rad too....

Mmmm nothings better than having baseball sized ulcers and a berlin wall of butter/grease cloggin' yer arteries.... (well I don't....at least, not yet.)

ew, tomatoes make me gag..dunno why. But I could eat grapes endlessly. They're so fun to bite into, it's like they pop.

But not the grapes in my refrigerator....they're gettin kinda icky..and I'm too lazy to clean it out.

I think I'm addicted to conditioner too. so I use two kinds of rinse out conditioner, leave it in forever. then i use two different spray in conditioners when I get out of the shower. The bad thing is, the good stuff's so expensive. ::starts a support group for hair-care product abusers::

As I am in recovery for drug and alcohol addiction (clean and sober since Feb 19, 1986), and I quit smoking (June 16, 00) I can only offer this:

Make a decision. Either do it or don't do it.

Don't waste your time trying to 'cut down' first, then quit. It does nothing more than prolong the torture.

I am more than willing to share my experience, strength, and hope with anyone who is interested. No need to post it if no one is interested...

I was speaking of addictions in general.

Don't worry, if you don't want to quit, you won't!

Who really wants to quit, anyhow?

There's a reason people get addicted to things, and the basic reason is 'cause it's fairly fun. Fuck benefits and detriments, cost/benefit analyses, and all the statistical bullshit that corporate and national staticians pull out of their asses. Hell... it's fun, so people do it, then people get used to it, and people keep on doing it, and people finally get addicted. Then, they really realize that they're addicted, but don't really give a fuck, because hell... it's still fun!

Meh.

Yeah. Sex and tea are great addictions to have.

Meaning, of course, "green" "tea", but I'm over that now.

just cigarettes... everything else is recreational drug use.

Jaron-
You will never understand how having an addiction can become bad, just like I will never understand the concept of social drinking.

Next time you are out enjoying your addictions, do a few for me. I have nothing against smoking, drug use, or drinking. I think it's great for those who can handle it. Me? I can't handle it. Shame too, because I really enjoyed the Hell out of it for a while...

I hope I am not coming off as 'preachy.' I never want to do that.

I'm addicted to writing in my journal. I write in it everyday, three pages at a time at least. I suppose it's more of an obsession.

I drink a can of Diet Coke a day, and my teeth are still reasonably white.

I get really fucked off with teenage smokers at my school. They all think they're really cutting edge. There's a good correlation between the neglected rich kids and smokers. My best friend is only 16 and has a fag(cigarette) every free moment. She can't fucking run anywhere and is always broke;pisses the hell out of me. I used to want to smoke just so I could fuck up my lungs.
