What addictions have you beat?

[Ares Black]

Nicotine, cocaine, and alcohol.

Still hooked on caffeine.

Many, the most recent subs...nightmare..

 

[-Magua-]

Nicotine wasn’t easy. Dipping is tougher than smoking imo.
Right now I like sleep.
I’d hibernate full time like a bear....Yes I would.

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would

Cigarettes, energy drinks, pain killers, gambling, porn, alcohol.

Maybe a more generous definition of addiction but without doubt all had aconsiderably negative affects on my life.

It ravaged my body. I was cursed to have my body encased in a dreadnaught mark armor that help wage the endless war against the god emperors enemies and protect mankind.

Alcohol and opiates

Thankfully opiates have a hard time getting ahold of me. Alcohol has my number though. I’m not as bad as I used to be and I never drink when I have a reason to get up the next day. But if I don’t, I’m definitely putting a few away

Nicotine, caffeine... I've quit nicotine numerous times, it's been of varying difficulty from one time to another. Caffeine was easy for me, and I no longer have a midday crash that I used to always get when I drank coffee.

Those are the only substances I've been addicted to. I've smoked pot daily at times so maybe I've beaten that addiction too (I was more easily irritated and sweated profusely when I slept), nowadays I smoke on weekends, and usually only the day of the fights. It was nothing compared to nicotine, it never occupied my mind so I don't feel it was an addiction. Same with caffeine, I got headaches when I quit drinking coffee but didn't crave it at all.

 

[Bacco]

Alcohol was'nt an addiction, but now i drink weekly like 20% of what i used to

I'm trying to understand how i see myself/life without cheating.
Long quarantine here forced a no hunt season, i'm considering what to do after

Apart from when visiting Pattaya, Thailand, I have never used a prostitute.

But from at least two friends of mine, this "scene is very much apparent in my city.

I've considered it though, being a single guy! There's endless "escort" sites based around my area with 2in calls/ out calls".

I'd never judge.

Hookers always seemed like a wildly expensive habit to me. Like you might as well do heroin buddy. Unless you're picking up those gross street urchins, you're going to have to spend several hundred dollars? I'm just guessing because I've never actually paid for pussy directly, but it seems like a nice looking clean hooker is going to be at least $200 or more. I'm sure in big cities they get even more expensive. All for an hour or so of fun?

Getting the chick to want to do it is, for me at least, 99% of the best part of actually hooking up. It's a huge turn off if I don't think the girl is actually into it. I'd rather just watch the porn instead because I know I love me then go spend that money at a dope steak restaurant instead and have a few drinks at their bar.

I wouldn't say I've had any serious addictions besides opiates for a while. Always kept a job and my social life, but I was physically and mentally dependent for a few years. Kicked them pretty easy when I decided to get off them.

I kind of have an addictive personality in general for whatever I decide to do. It's an obsession to be the best/do the most/know the most about anything my mind latches onto. It's helped me excel at a lot of things, but it can just as easily be very self destructive if it's not a good thing to latch on. I've noticed in recent years that my father is the exact same as me except his addictions have been work, motorcycles, religion.

Beating off in public restrooms

 

[Stop Being Greedy]

Heroin, booze and benzos. Had problems with meth and crack too, but those really aren't physical addictions in the same way. Also stopped smoking cigarettes, but that was too easy to say I beat it, compared to real drugs.

Heroin was the worst. Became a different person for a very long time and it took years to be myself again. I know only alcohol and benzo withdrawals can kill you, but they weren't anywhere near as bad as heroin withdrawal for me. Hell on earth. Never would've gotten off without Suboxone, which I took for over a year, so I guess that's another one I beat.

 

[4daLuLZ]

I used to be hooked on hookers/escorts. I got hooked on them after a bad breakup. Thanks to dating apps like pof and tinder that addiction is behind me. Who else has beaten their vices/addictions ?

Only two real addictions in life..........pussy and video games.

Can’t stop, won’t stop .........badboi4lyf !

I don’t know why, but “sexual hundred dollars” made me laugh really hard.

Congrats man! I’ve kicked heroin, methadone, and benzos. To me, kicking heroin vs benzos are equally bad, just different. Heroin is the most insane pain you’ve ever felt in your life. Benzos isn’t painful to kick, but it’s fucking terrifying.

Nicotine. Been off 1.5 years

Thanks bro, same to you!

I think there's something to it being harder for some people to kick certain drugs than others. I was just able to stop everything other than heroin much more easily. I got alcohol and benzo withdrawals and they were awful, but my body reacts differently to dope.

I also had a much higher tolerance to heroin than most people, so maybe that's related. I was able to shoot more than all my junkie friends back when I was doing it, and never really had close calls with accidental ODs like they did. Two suicide attempts with heroin that should have killed me but didn't.

Then getting off was just unimaginable agony, and I never really did it. I went into withdrawal trying to kick but never made it through to the other side. The last time I was physically addicted, I got arrested and went into withdrawal in jail. Got bailed out and went to detox, where they got me off over 7 days with Suboxone, benzos and sleeping pills. After that, I was off completely and my physical addiction never was as bad again. I kept relapsing though so I did Suboxone maintenance until I could mentally detach from dope, then I had to slowly wean myself off that.

God, what a nightmare, lol. Went surfing with a friend yesterday, had a lot of fun and was saying how I wish I could've figured out how to do things that made me happy sober a lot earlier than I did. Sobriety ain't enough, gotta do things that make you feel alive to replace the drugs.
