At least, I rarely go more than 15 hours without a drink.   looking back would you do it again I don't think that there's really an objective way to look at that. Looking back, I still would have been struggling with the same forces in my life that made me/allowed me to start smoking-drinking-popping-pills. So yeah, I'm not happy to be addicted but for now I'm resigned to itPr Catacomb Posted at 12:23 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from snowfish at 7:12 am on Nov. 17, 2008 over the last 6 years, I've had addictions to caffeine, nicotine, opiates, and I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm an alcoholic.

Now I'll have a headache and have to think about which addiction I've been neglecting.  Also, I imagined addiction would be more of a monster, a physical ache, etc. It's more of a constant preoccupation and an inability to stop myself if a substance is available. what substances are you talking about over the last 6 years, I've had addictions to caffeine, nicotine, opiates, and I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm an alcoholic.

I got bored. And then I discovered Livewire. i lol'd. but this. empathyisdead Posted at 2:21 am on Nov. 16, 2008 It depends what I was doing with my life before the addiction. Not to condone addictions of any sort, but a state of sobriety when I had nothing to do and was effectively wasting away anyway made it worse - however the down sides of addictions are many. The fucked up things I've done because of addictions, and just general lack of self-control... mind you, I never seem to learn, either. Most recent 15 of 16 previous replies displayed.
