Carrie, you know there are other ways to lose it. "Deluded" ain't just a river in Egypt! | |

I have to fight the urge to eat all day long.
I over eat and its a horrible thing. Im not even hungry 90 percent of the time. I have gained 8 pounds in the last two months. Doesnt seem much for some of you, but standing at 5*2 and now 136 pounds that is alot. I go to the gym like a mad women, but my calorie intake is off the charts... YES FOOD IS MY ENEMY. Im admitting I have a problem, but Im not going to weight watchers for help... Say it's just a dream...

Sure you can! It's easier than quitting smoking.  No way is it easier. You can't just give up eating. No, and the most you try not to think about it, the harder it is to stay away from it... such easy, easy access... Say it's just a dream...

That's exactly what I do with food! I tell myself I'm going to make better food choices and I end up on the "see food" diet.  I'm firmly planted in denial |

To me writing music was weird after quitting pot. It wasn't harder, exactly, but I was lacking that chemical inspiration that made me believe my every thought was brilliant & worth capturing. I feel your pain [Edited 2/18/09 11:26am] | |

Ace said: MIGUELGOMEZ said: You're lucky. I read that you don't just gain weight from substituting food for cigarettes. There's an actual change in your chemistry that makes you gain some weight. I was like "great!" it's not just psychological. Never heard of that.  Anyhoo, 'tis nothing that can't be shut down via eating right and/or exercise. Even if it meant gaining some weight, I'd be like, 'I can strip that off later; the important thing is getting off this shit before it does some damage to me that I can't undo.'You're right. Better to gain weight than to continue smoking. MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

Ace said: Nicotine. Over three years clean.
Lately, I've been doing something I haven't done in a few years: playing guitar. I've been woodshedding and it struck me that it's my first time doing this without the cancer sticks. Feels very strange. But I will never go back to that shit! No electronic voicebox or tubes in the nose for me, thanks! Have you ever tried to kick an addiction (cigarettes, alcohol, other drugs, food, etc.)? What were/are your triggers? Did/do you feel like a pathetic douchebag for not being able to kick their asses? I smoke too much, yes... too much; a lot of nicotine!!! but moment I don't still feel courage to leave this addiction; maybe when i resumes to have energy to paint; the addiction of the arquitectura already passed.... now I am addicted in my children's | |

In my household there are types types of addiction.
food addiction, which is me. nicotine addiction, which is my mother and my sister. My mother says she LOVES to smoke but she cant do it as much as she wants to. She cant stand the way smoke smells and is deathly afraid of her hands beginning to smell. Sometimes she will light up take a few puffs, will not touch the cigg, the dump it from her mouth into the sink. My sister loves to smoke, but doesnt smoke as much as she would like to. Ciggs= munchies for her. food, well I eat all the freakin time.... day, night, mid day, late night. Bread and peanut butter....WATCH OUT NOW!!! Ive thought about going to OA, but Id rather see a nutritionist first... a mental doc would probably help too... I think my dog has the same problem....  Say it's just a dream...

Have you ever tried to kick an addiction (cigarettes, alcohol, other drugs, food, etc.)? What were/are your triggers? Did/do you feel like a pathetic douchebag for not being able to kick their asses? GOOD FOR YOU! We quit around the same time I think. Anyways, this is a good thread. I think, well I know, I have an addictive personality, and I also tend to replace one habit with another. I've never been addicted to like METH or anything, but one thing is really just as bad as another. I'm not addicted to alcohol, but I know if I DO know that when I'm going through a rough time and I ALLOW myself to turn to it, I have a hard time controlling it. But if I drink when happy, I'm fine. I think addictions start early on in life and just keep being replaced by something else. Like my addictions started at an early age with food. As a result I still have a very unhealthy relationship with food. As a result of THAT, I am also addicted to excercise. The excercise itself is not unhealthy but the obsession with it is. It controls my thoughts and actions and patterns, and it is something I am involved with at this point in my life, but It's not like THATS a totally BAD thing. Another thing I'm addicted too is relying on men to make me happy, or attention from men. I don't really know where that stems from, but the thing that triggers ALL of my addictions is unhappiness within myself. Something within me that has yet to be uncovered. Like, I know SOMETHING is there, I jsut don't know what it is, or HOW to react to when it comes out. Another addiction I have is findiong a belief and getting overly involved in it, for the wrong reasons. Not so much because I'm PASSIONATE about the belief, but I need the BELIEF to feel Justified and valid as a human bieng. Its bizzare. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies Whats it all worth only the heart can measure It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside | |

Oh, and the genetics thing.
I think genetics play a roll, but also circumstances. Like lets take alcohol. I think it tends to skip a generation. Lets say your grandfather was a mean drunk. As a result your mom won't touch the stuff and neither does your dad, because your mom saw what it can do to a family. YOU on the other hand have NOT seen what it can do cuz your mom doesn't drink. So YOU drink, and because of your bad genes, YOU are now an alcoholic, and down the line..... I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure

It s interesting because the people who swear off drink as a result of seeing the damage it does can become fanatical about not drinking and can be real control freaks in other areas. | |

I was addicted to food, coke and pornography. Went to rehab to get help. All the addictive substances and behaviours were symptoms of the dis - ease I felt from an early age. Compounded possibly by genetic factors and definitely because of some less than nurturing early family experiences, it led me to escape into the addictive substances and behaviours and to numb the pain I was feeling. | |
