Kicking the habit

[Sykoi]

Well since I'm going through some serious withdrawal right now, I thought I'd start a thread about it....
Whats your worst withdrawal experience, and what was the substance of choice?

Personally I'm going through caffeine withdrawal seeing as I drank an insane amount over the last 3 months, in order to finish the new site on time... I have no doubt I spent over 700 hours working on the site... Caffeine kept me up for it, but wow does it have some horrible withdrawal symptoms... I've been unable to concentrate, have had a very intense headache that aspirin does nothing for, and not to mention the sleeping for 4-5 hours at a time.

I never have been addicted to caffeine but but nicotine is hard to quit. I've quit about 3 times in the last 8 years and once was for over a year. I get so irritable and it is quite pathetic really. It is amazing how a substance can change your entire personality. It really takes willpower with both!

I`m addicted to being awesome. I just can`t stop. Someone help me. I should probably go to AA (awesome anonymous).

Hey delerium, any reason you`re using 僕 in your signature, instead of 俺? How old are you?

Ironically, questioning your kanji validates the statement in your sig. :P

boku 僕 is fine. Ore is improper to use on a forum imo. There is no age restriction on boku.

I've never been addicted to anything, but maybe you'd like to hear the way my dad quit smoking cancer sticks! He started using toothpicks. Everytime he felt like smoking a cigarette he would pick his teeth with a toothpick instead! Not only did it make him quit, but it also increased his hygiene by at least 15%, not to mention it made him look extra cool. He once swallowed half a toothpick though, not a pleasant thought.

Oh, Sykoi, to help with the sleeping problem and headache, there's this particular herb which I will not name... Anyhow, you can smoke it... or make it into a tea (if that's your cup of tea). But I'm affraid it definetly won't do your lack of concentration any good at all! Next time instead of coffee, use ginseng, preferably the ginseng tea that dissolves in water, it tastes better, is healthier and withdrawal-free!

I've heard of that herb. That Chinese Herbalist called it Mácao, and his Japanese friend called it Asagusa. And that American "herbalist" called it weed ;)

You know what will help you with the lack of sleep Sykoi? PM medicine. :)

Actually I didn't use coffee, but instead an insane amount of energy drinks and pepsi :haha:
(I can't stand the taste of coffee, its absolutely disgusting)

[ojwk]

mmm coffee....

Oddly enough I used to be addicted to a rather expensive brand of apple juice. Whilst it may sound ridiculous (because it is) I ended up spending hundreds of pounds on this healthy fruit drink. I suppose it goes to show that addictions don't have to have health implications the real consequences can be financial. I would recommend switch over to this drink however due to its rather delicious taste and it is the perfect alternative to caffeinated soft drinks. The brand is owned by the Prince of Wales so I wouldn't expect it would be cheap to have it trucked over to the US.

Here is the website.

ummm i dont think im addicted to anything, if your talkin about a certain herb that i smoke on occasion then you should know that you cannot make tea and get any effect from it because THC isnt actived in water, you need to use a lipid or fat like milk

[Tenshin]

I'm addicted to the internet, come to think of it. But if it wasn't there, I wouldn't use it.

Similar to ojwk I happen to be addicted to these milk called "sun-milk" it tastes quite good but is a bit expensive.. at any rate owjk I checked out that web site and want to try some of that apple juice I'll have to look into it in more detail later though it looks really good.
