    I feel bad for people who have never been addicted to anything, because they’re the real losers. You want to know why? Because they don’t know what it’s like to really want something - and then get it again and again and again. (Marc Maron)

    But seriously, the one thing I’m proud of in my life is that I was able to quit smoking. Hard, but so worth it!

      Same.

      But whooooo damn do I occasionally miss having a smoke.

      I’ve not smoked for more years than I smoked at this point, but the habit is in me. My brain only remembers the good parts.

        Yup, this is me with both alcohol and cigarettes. And it seems like the worse things are going for me, the better going back to it sounds.

        Still I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about keeping dosed anymore.

          I love drinking until I’ve had a drink, and then I do that again every single day. I don’t drink a lot but it’s still aggravating.

        My mother quit smoking 25 years ago and still has panic attacks about it every few weeks.

        That pisses her off so she won’t ever smoke again.
