It's kinda weird, I wouldn't think twice if I am asked to stop what's injurious to my health. It's part of their lives and they can't easily stop it when they know it's very important that they do quit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It's just what addiction is capable of doing and it's something that's going to be very difficult for the person to get over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm a former addict, and believe me, getting over an addiction is one of the hardest things to ever do. The second hardest is fighting the draw and falling back into it. I've been clean for 18 years, but it's an uphill battle for the rest of my life. I'll be climbing Everest in shorts and a sports bra until I die. That's what the fight is like to keep from using again. I applaud anyone who can beat and avoid any kind of addiction they face. Whether it's some form of substance like drugs or alcohol, or it's something else like gambling and pornography. If you can beat your addiction, you have won my respect.

It's actually good that you mentioned pornography because as odd as it sounds, it's where I'm battling with my own addiction to it. I try as much as I can not stay alone for too long, otherwise I can't help it getting right at it. kingpotato and Heatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people, both men and women, suffer from it. It takes time and help, but you can beat it. We're here for you @Boblee anytime you need us. This forum has your back.

Believe me, it really helps. Ive been exercising for a few months now and it does help, and you also get to lose a few pounds and gain a little bit of muscle.

You sure do have a way to be controlling it a bit, just don't give up till you have it beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's simply the way they simply wants to live their lives. I got nothing to lose because it isn't my life they're smoking with, it's simply theirs.

You have to build up some self-control - try to occupy your time with more productive stuff like something you've always wanted to do but claim you have no time. You need to stop before you get your hand pregnant!...🤣 I was just kidding about the last part but try to take up things like meditating.

I'm going to look into it and what I come up with. Yeah, you're correct about trying to keep myself busy and not lonely and alone. When I'm occupied, I hardly think about it or get into it.
