Addiction and Me, the Drug Free?

Question by Who is Danger Woman?: Addiction and me, the drug free?
I don’t do drugs, but i have had an addiction or dependance, if you will-i still think it’s the same thing- to caffeine and nicotine. as far as smoking, i straight up quit. I didn’t smoke and actually would get nauseated when i was around it. I would try to take a drag and would nearly get sick. Then a year later i started smoking again. I smoked when i wanted to and not when i had to. I would buy different types of cigarettes, so i have a few half smoked packs just lying around my house, that have been there a month and i don’t intend on smoking them. Actually i don’t even know if i plan on smoking tobacco for the rest of my life. IDK the cigars in my humidor have been in there for a long time and are only getting better with age. NTL i guess what i’m getting at is, i know some people who have smoked for decades and have tried quitting, and i’ve seen people who have only smoked weeks and have exhibited the same effects. How is it that i can just quit cold turkey? I know i was feeling physical withdrawals, because i had to keep swalowing or hacking up some nasty stuff.eww..

Where Do I Get Help for Alcoholism?

Question by Worried Sick: Where do I get help for alcoholism?
Hi, I live in Massachusetts, and I have a drinking problem. It’s not that I feel like I need to drink all the time. It’s like this: If I’m bored, the answer is to go out with friends and have a few drinks. A few drinks leads to me killing a bottle of whiskey. Once the whiskey is gone, I may either go buy more alcohol, or find drugs. Friends and family seem to not see a problem in my life. I know this isn’t true, but it makes me feel like no one cares. With friends and family not seeing my problem, I feel like I can’t turn to them for help. I so badly want to get clean, but I don’t know where to begin. Any ideas?

I Smoke Cigarettes to Help Me Quit Marijuana and It Doesn’t Work?

Question by Mozin: I smoke cigarettes to help me quit marijuana and it doesn’t work?
I decided a while back that I should smoke a cigarette every time after I smoke a marijuana bowl. This would help me to help me quit smoking marijuana. I heard cigarettes are gross and give you lung cancer so I don’t like it at all. It’s not working though, whats the best way to stop?
