Does anyone here have an addiction and doesn't smoke cigarettes?

You're not the only one @US Army Veteran, I also am addict who doesn't smoke. The thing that's even more peculiar to me (because I did smoke when I was quite younger) is when I stop using drugs to have some clean time I don't smoke then either. I would expect to smoke during those times but I don't.

That's awesome. Now I do admit I do on rare occasions socially smoke a cig maybe 2 but that's not very often at all. I don't like the taste or smell

@US Army Veteran I take Benzs. but was able to quit smoking while I was in Florida- I got clean off narcotics and c so I decided I wanted to be healthy again- I got a fitbit and started getting up at 6:00 am and walked and half jogged everyday. I was up to 3 miles a day while I watched the sunrise on the ocean it was so peaceful. I couldn't believe all the elderly doing the same thing I was doing, They say if you quit moving when you get older you will die much sooner. Anyways I used Chantix to quit smoking and despite the horrible nightmares that came with it by I would say just one week I would try to smoke but one hit made me physically nauseous. So it was really easy for me if you do have nightmares- my husband quit also but he never had nightmares. I would say in two weeks we were done for good, I have a 3 month supply but I just quit and sit) have no urges it just makes me sick now being around cigarette smoke- but I'm not one of those snobby ex smokers! It's unhealthy as he'll but who am I to tell what other people to do with their bodies-

I'm a social smoker but don't smoke often at all. I'm glad I never got that habit! Congrats on quitting. Maybe I should recommend chantix to my daughters mother and my own mother too. Congrats honey!

HaHa, nah don't reckon that makes you qualify..🤔

I buy 30 a day but half of them or more get used on spliffs (No NOT with bud, but Hashish) 😋

I personally don't know many if any people that don't smoke and have addictions.

It's just one of those things that seems to come hand in hand with addiction..

Regards,  T.

 
I quit smoking and alcohol about 25 years ago. Addictions I have in bundles not not nicotine or ethanol based..

 
Never smoked in my life.....anything!  But I love how clean and neat pills are!

 
I have never smoked a cigarette or used any tobacco in my life.  My parents smoked in the house and cars (which was worse).  In a way that made me despise cigarettes.  Also through my teens I was majorly into sports and pretty good I must say.  So that was another deterrent from smoking and drugs.  I take pain meds now because of injuries mostly from sports including amateur MMA fighting through my 20's and early 30's.  So I guess you can say that something that deterred me from using addictive substances in the long run caused me to use them.

 
I buy a pack once a week and will have 3 to 5 a night. If I have a little wine 7 is my limit .

i have addictions and I handle them w/ ocd behavior:)  my husband though is all or nothing. If he gets meds he will use them all in like 2 days. I try to string mine out like a meal plan . Though there are some super tough days I give in ;-

Interesting topic, I was never a tobacco smoker myself... when I was young and now, I could never inhale a cig without coughing. I can handle a cigar (rarely do it) and weed with no problem.

A little off topic, but it seems that on tv shows like live pd, people who lite up a cigarette as soon as they get pulled over are the ones mostly getting pulled out of their car and searched. Not sure if the law is trained to look for that.

 
Cigarettes were my first addiction, but it has 10 years since I one. Never want to go back.

Someone brought up drinking. Drinking just doesn’t appeal to me these days. Though I did drink a lot when I was younger.

Quitting cigarettes was a piece that of cake though. Anyone who gave up benzodiazepines and/or Tramadol will know what I am saying. For an addict they are vicious; once they have got you by the collar they will roll you in and punch you.

It’s opiates that I am addicted to. My DR treats me with Tylenol 4 and Vicodin for migraines and has for years. Without it I would be in bed with pain. But the monthly prescription isn’t enough. So I supplement them with C@#60 and D&C. 

The “high” has gone away and has gone away years ago. It’s just that I feel normal when taking them. If that makes sense. 😮

I've found that all of my vices/addictions get worse when I'm taking oxy.  I've smoked cigarettes for a long time,  but I smoke WAY more when i'm taking pills. I also eat way more junk food, drink more soda, etc.  Something about the dopamine/pleasure-reward system gets enhanced and I find it reallly hard to self-discipline.  Interestingly, Kratom has the opposite effect and I can go all day without eating or smoking.

 
Like a few others, I smoked for well over 40 years and was on 40-60/day when I found vaping.

Now I vape as avidly as I used to smoke, chain vaping.

Only thing I seem to have got right was quitting booze in about 1995, but slowly started and increasingly use 'other things' to compensate.

 
I smoked cigs when I was 22, quit when I was 23, I’m 39 now. I smoked Newport 100s and would rip the filter off. I went to rehab for alcohol. In detox, they offered us free packs of cigarettes. 305 Brand I believe. I declined smokes but opted for the copious amounts of Lil Debbie pastries they made 

available. Two of the fellow addicts I was housed with never smoked before, per their confession, but they were smoking like chimneys once we were moved to our recovery house. After rehab, I started smoking MJ off and on. To this day, I can’t smell cig smoke without crunching up my nose. But then again, the smell of hand sanitizer makes me wretch. My mother smokes 2-3 packs a day, doesn’t drink or do drugs of any sort. She’s been smoking since she was six! She’s 63 now. Got started when she her mother asked her to light her a cig on the stove. She had to puff so it would light. 

 
Never smoked cigi's but I know all about addiction.... and self medicating...most of us humans are only self medicating an underlying problem!!

Addiction is a strange thing for sure.  The things that appeal to each of us & how different our cravings are.

I've never had anything to smoke in my entire life and I've passed the half century mark.  I've also never had a drink before.  

 
Yip addiction is a curious thing. I don’t really drink I can go months to a year without touching a drop or feeling the need and it’s not even fitness related I’ve just never had that massive urge. But I smoke a little maybe 5-6 a day. I enjoy benzos but I’ve through a lot of error previously learned  to be super strict or I go deep...real deep! Steroids obviously aren’t addictive (that ones complicated though) however I am on all year round regardless if I’m competing that year or not but I’m very educated with my doses so I’m getting max when I truly am ‘on’ I’ve written several articles about it for those interested...or not. 

At the end of the day we all have a vice life is what it is and we do what we must to get by. Just be as safe as you can be within those parameters because we only have one.

  2. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  3. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  4. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  8. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  9. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  10. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  11. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  12. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  14. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  15. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  17. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  18. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  19. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  20. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
