I'm not sure, bud, but if you can avoid the smokes. Don't make your relapses full-on. You're that far past smoking, I bet this is just an incidental struggle. One or two, yeah, that's acceptable, but if you buy the pack it's going to snowball moreso, right? Best of luck.

I'm still trying to quit smoking, but I keep getting bummed smokes. I have money, I keep rationalizing that if I keep bumming them I might as well buy a pack and ration, but if I buy that pack, then by the time I finish I'll bum again and then buy another. I need to cut if straight off. I went 12 hours without one ... sleep + 4 hours and thought that was incredible because I wasn't fiending, but as soon as one came around I burnt through it. And now I want another. Slippery slope.

Power to us.

I actually ended up caving and buying a pack right after writing that as I knew I probably would. The worst thing about my addiction to cigarettes is that I know I can stop for awhile after buying this pack, so it really leaves little incentive to fully quit. I can seriously just buy a pack, smoke it and then decide that I'm done for a while, with awhile meaning anything from a few months to a year. However it's always temporary as I know at some point I will go out, be it when I'm out at a bar, or just having a stressful week. Right now I've got one smoke left and I don't know if I will go buy another one or not right now, I'm pretty unhappy with things right now, but I really don't want to turn this into something bigger than it is. I was actually happy that I had my pack with me on Saturday when I went to a party in which I only knew 1 person and was the oldest person there by a good few years. It wasn't a high school party, but there was mostly just freshmen and sophomore college students and I'm 23 going on 24 so yeah... I spent most of my time out on the balcony smoking.

I'd say most of my cigarette consumption has definitively come from not having anything to do at a party.

It's great crutch. You look cooler, you can leave the house/building and re-enter(and hopefully make a better second impression),it gets your heart rate going, etc.

I've always smoked too much pot to truly get addicted to tobacco, but I have had times where the craving was ridiculous. I was one of those losers who had to buy a pack, smoked one and then threw it out.

I also used to be one of those idiots who would have coffee and cigarettes for breakfast. My stomach would feel terrible but I woke up real fast.

I'm hanging by a thread at the moment. I have had acute abdominal pain for the last month, and chronic pain for the last 5 years, excluding painful periods since I was 12 years old. As well as this I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, giving me cramping pain after going to the loo. I have been in and out of the hospital throughout the last month for days and days, having my medication changed all the time causing me to suffer in agony for hours because only the specialist can chart other pain killers. That night I was seriously contemplating ending it all. I was angry, I was in tears, I was so lost. Something stopped me from losing it.

I've finally been put on the right pain relief instead of methadone I'm on a specialised drug for the spine to stop over reacting to pain signals then making it worse and I'm on large amounts of codeine. I have had tons of appointments to attend and today I went to the wrong hospital for an appointment with the anaesthesitist (sp?) for my surgery on the 12 of march and I just broke down. I mean, it wasn't even the end of the world, but I couldn't cope with it. =/

The grossest thing that happened while I was admitted was when this white trash lady in the bed beside me only just found out she was 5 months pregnant and was still smoking like a train. Not only that, in the evening when everything was closed up, she kept smoking in the toilet! Now I know she has breast cancer and shes suffering, shes in a violent relationship, but 1) how the **** did she think she got the cancer, 2) her 16 year old daughter has cancer and smokes, 3) she is going to **** up this poor child inside her!

Currently suspended from college for running an illegitimate lie detector test on an unwitting victim.

The value of comedy is clearly not a priority at Adam Smith College.

So...what happened exactly?

Well, I decided on a new segment for college radio in which I would have an illegitimate lie detector test.

It was in fact a cholesterol measurement strap, taped to a two metre long wire which appeared to be plugged into a laptop.
However, the interviewee was unaware of this, so revealed some personal truths.
Many of the questions included innuendos and questionable content, but all was done in a way to entertain and not to offend any person/group of people.

Anyone who knows me will say I am not discriminant against others of a different; race, nationality, sex, sexuality, age or religion.
However, it seems that the powers to be thought I was making derogatory homophobic remarks which conflicts with both the broadcasting code and the colleges diversity policy.

However, it seems someone took offence, we were pulled from air, and upon review of the material were suspended from college with a good chance that we are dismissed entirely on Monday.

In retrospect, I have no regrets about doing the segment, it was something I had always wanted to do, and in my mind was still very entertaining. My regret is that I could have genuinely offended anyone.

Ah well. **** happens, eh?

That is awful, it's completely unnecessary for ruining someone's education purely because someone might have taken offense at something you said on what was clearly not meant to be serious.
