Yea it did kinda, nothing get's by you does it? loser.

Fuck you guys are gross, "smoke weed instead"... Oh that's some greaaaat way to kick an addiction, by replacing it with another one!

"they look for reasons to be tempted when theyre trying to quit, and they purposefully fall for them."

Um, ja raul, isn't that what all substance addicts do - WHEN THEY'RE ADDICTED?

PS - Keep up the good work with not smoking, just because you slipped up doesn't make you a "smoker" again. Many have tried and failed before you... but also, many have suceeded! :)

whoa whoa, back up the trolley here for a minute...

why are we "gross" for suggesting marijuana as a replacement? to re-iterate my main point : do whatever the fuck you want, its obvious that his old habits werent ruining his life, nabs just wanted to share with us an experience he had where temptation got the best of him, again, were talking about cigarettes and not meth or crack. i suppose you could classify smokers as "substance" abusers, but to me it sounds like theyre only a step away from rehab, OH HEY OR MAYBE THEY CAN JUST USE THEIR OWN WILLPOWER HUH HEY?

on a side note: zarlon, are you a bible thumper?
sidenote2: smoke weed everyday (especially you nabs)

[nabs]

I guess I will never survive in the ghetto :(

Hahaha!

I believe you missed the original point of my post, starting another substance addiction is not a good way to ebb out of the first one. "Yeah! Let's just smoke WEEEEEED instead of cigarettes!" Good idea bud.

Cigarettes are more addictive than meth or crack, or even *gasp* heroin. Just because tobacco is legal doesn't mean it's any better for you than all the Schedule I, II, or III drugs that are stigmatized.

So let's see.. Am I wrong for thinking the best way to quit is without another, equally addictive vice? I guess so. Replacing smoking with excercise, a creative outlet, or a new hobby... damn, that's retarded

What the fuck am I thinking anyways?

PS - Nice "diss", way to generalize and group those who don't agree with the "lifestyle" of the modern stoner into being a bible thumper. Oddly enough, I'm very much agnostic.

Go team ja_raul.

hi zarlon, let me start off by saying that you are cut from team ja_raul

i still stand by my advice of smoking/vaping weed instead of smoking cigarettes, it would probably work out to be cheaper than buying a pack of ciggs a week, and probably healthier on the lungs.

i am not against finding some other hobby or recreational activity to fill the void, i merely suggested an entertaining and more satisfying alternative than smoking cigarettes. from one agnostic to another, i respect your views; just dont shit on mine

[zarlon]

Hey, newsflash. I was never on team ja_raul so I guess you're way out of the loop there.

Also I'm not "shitting on your views" just stating that to trade one vice for another is not the most logical of things to do, no?

I don't agree with that advice, but to each their own - and whatever works.

it shouldn't have to be an all-or-nothing type thing; its about temperance. Smoking can be pleasurable, pleasures can be consumed in moderation.

[shorty187]

i hate the fact that i smoke...but i love smoking...especially after a few drinks or a cap...

^so true.
i cant help but love the things. but lately ive been cuttin back, havent smoked cigs for 4 days. I have no intentions of quitting altogether anytime soon, but it is nice to take a break here and there.

[laska]

^ Right on! And since temperance is a virtue, one could even say smoking can be virtuous! The worst thing is to be chained to cigarettes like a true addict. If you find that are you are leaving your group of friends to go stand outside alone in the cold and smoke, that is addiction, but if you occasionally indulge when the time is right, it's all good! Ideally we should be able to buy a pack for the weekend or get-together and enjoy them, then stop come Monday.
