-- Posted by Catacomb at 2:16 am on Nov. 16, 2008 when you weren't addicted to anything what was better for you, now? then? how so -- Posted by blufindr at 2:18 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Yes. I got bored. And then I discovered Livewire. -- Posted by empathyisdead 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. -- Posted by kaylalynn2008 at 2:26 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 2:18 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Yes.

I've always have had an addictive personality. -- Posted by Catacomb at 2:38 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from sykexl at 9:37 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Not really, no.

Clearly you don't realize it doesn't matter the substance. An addict is an addict is an addict. -- Posted by rosebud at 7:04 am on Nov. 16, 2008 yeah it was the same, except i didnt think about it and now i do it sort of was better for me but i dont want to quit -- Posted by Catacomb at 10:24 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from rosebud at 2:04 am on Nov. 17, 2008 yeah it was the same, except i didnt think about it and now i do it sort of was better for me but i dont want to quit better before? what substances dont you want to quit. -- Posted by snowfish at 12:00 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I didnt have headaches the way I do now. 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. -- Posted by Catacomb at 12:05 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from snowfish at 7:00 am on Nov. 17, 2008 I didnt have headaches the way I do now.

At least, I rarely go more than 15 hours without a drink.   -- Posted by Catacomb 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.

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 -- Posted by rosebud at 1:38 am on Nov. 17, 2008 Quote: from Catacomb at 5:24 am on Nov. 17, 2008 Quote: from rosebud at 2:04 am on Nov. 17, 2008 yeah it was the same, except i didnt think about it and now i do    it sort of was better for me but i dont want to quit better before? what substances dont you want to quit. tobacco mostly
