addiction sucks

Sometimes it seems like the only way I can be comfortable purging my mind onto the internet is if I've had a cigarette or two. When I haven't smoked, all I want to do is either sleep or stay busy somehow. Otherwise I just feel like I'm going mad. I'm kind of trying to quit, it seems like being addicted to something isn't the best choice for me to make right now. It seems like I don't make any progress whatsoever when I haven't smoked, though. Too anxious, too needy. I get more things done in the physical realm but it's all just menial stuff that doesn't really get me anywhere besides in another neutral insect-like cycle... I've also lost track of time from sleeping so often, but I'd rather be asleep and dreaming than go through withdrawal and publicly whine myself into a dark pit.


Front 242 - HeadHunter


Fun fact from the Youtube comments: it's because the director, Anton Corbijn, misheard the song title as "Egg hunter".

True Story."

Made me crack up.

if you can find non-chemically treated tobacco cigarettes you should switch to them... i don't know if 'american spirit' brand is chem free, but they say they are.

have you ever heard of William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. ?
google him. i have been a reader of his for several years and believe he is pretty accurate (some may not agree with me ;)
he believes that smoking chem-free tobacco is actually beneficial, just like drinking in small amounts.

quit smoking pot, though ;)
you won't understand why until after you do... kind of a catch-22 of a sort.

I used to smoke American Spirits, they rock. They also made my smoke breaks at work 5 minutes longer than usual. That's a good thing... I don't think anyone around here sells them but I can look it up.

I'm in the process of breaking my weed habit, I only smoke about once a month now and it's kind of unpleasant when I do, kind of traumatizing, really. I only like the euphoric aspect of it but you're right, maybe it's just not for me.
