The train wreck continues....
Since I've only been addicted to nicotine and food, it's hard for me to show alot of empathy to addicted drug users. It's not because I think they are the dregs of the world. I guess it's because I've never been addicted to those types of substances and I don't know how hard it is to quit. I do know that I've been addicted to smoking for like 20 years. I do know that the main reason I don't quit is I'm chicken shit. I'm TOTALLY terrified of the withdrawals. I'm totally terrified that I'm gonna up and kill somebody due to the stress.
See, with smoking you can function in everyday society fine. Sure, you might have some haters, but that's about as bad as it gets. With drug addiction, it's sooooooo different a story. It affects not just you, but everyone around you. Yes, there is a possibilty that people around me might get cancer from second hand smoke, but drug addiction and it's affect on all those around you, is sooo much a different story. I just think that no matter how bad it got, as far as a drug addiction goes, that I would quit, not only for myself, but to not lose everything that I love (I.E- real people that really love me).
So what's your thoughts on the subject of quitting something that you're highly addicted to?
