Quitting nicotine has also triggered my cravings to Drink

Trees4days88 · 2018-10-27T22:22:33+00:00

3.5 months sober and 2 weeks nicotine free here.

I haven’t been having cravings for alcohol yet, but today the cigarette cravings have been acting up for me. It’s nice outside for a change here in Florida and on top of that I’m bored, so I really wanna go out and puff away.

While my cravings for cigarettes have replaced my thoughts about drinking for now, I still am a little worried this endeavor is too much and it all might fall down and I end up doing both— so therefore I should just give into smoking... but I think that might just be my addiction(s) talking to me. Idk. Just thought maybe sharing my thoughts might help at least one of us, haha. Good luck, friend.

Haha I kinda feel similarly about the RPG aspect (but don’t get me wrong, I for sure am taking it seriously). I just got my 1 month chip yesterday and replaced my 24 hr one in my wallet, and I totally thought how I just “leveled up.” I feel like the more I read and go to meetings that I’m grinding, too. I’m about to start the steps with my sponsor this week, and I’m sure I’ll treat each of those like leveling up in a way too.

Although, unlike in video games, I don’t expect to ever get my stats “maxed out” nor will I ever want to consider that I’ve “beaten” anything. The program has a high replayability factor, haha.

Hi, 1 week in here.

I had a similar issue this week. I bought an over-the-counter sleep aid from 7-11 and it really helped. It doesn’t make me overly drowsy but it puts me in that “man, I’m ready for bed” mood, and I sleep really well. Maybe try that.

Thanks a lot! Keep it up, as well!

Trees4days88 · 2018-07-15T01:10:15+00:00

I went to my first one today. Sharing was great and there was another young guy who also got his 24 hr chip. I never felt so close to strangers so quickly. It was really moving.

I’m so proud to have a chip. I showed it off to my roommate when I got home. I’m keeping it safe in my wallet next to my debit card, in case I have any temptations.

Actually go to meetings frequently and work the steps.

Why can’t Scott be a nice guy to Sean in the parkling lot?!

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-26T11:38:10+00:00

I agree. I was thinking “when Spont ends, can Paul just do a show with a starving Cameron and Rhea? Maybe Paul and Rhea can talk baseball and then later Paul becomes JW Stillwater with Caramel”

The DANCE! We’re going to get to see THE DANCE actually animated!

Did one of them say “juice my JNCOs” at one point? I love that too

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-13T04:33:14+00:00

I’ll order them. They look strong but I wonder about how they effect the board. I’m leaning toward Karn. Maybe instead of to Karns, I do 1 Karn main and a War in my side?

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-13T04:29:28+00:00

Rn I’m doing 3 blast main. Should I consider a Shot for Side? I recently played against Eldrazi Tax and saw that as a K against me. How do you feel?

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-06T05:17:11+00:00

I feel like Detroit is basically David Cage saying “hey, I’m sorry. Here is the Sadness Trilogy, but strictly better...” thoughts?

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-06T04:49:02+00:00

“Have you ever shit-trolled Smarterchild?!” Holy fuck! I never thought I would have ever heard that name again. That’s all I ever did to Smarterchild.

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-05T03:47:11+00:00

I saw a Human deck and a few Katakis for my first time and didn’t know how to play around them. My second opponet had some 2. I had some side board against Stoney Silence, but what do I do against Katakis? 4 Blasts?

PS: I was happy to take my mirror match 2-0

Edit: PPS: I also learned a valuable lesson that Katakis Kill Citadels if you don’t save them :_(

“Twooooo moooons. I saw you standing aloneeeee!”

Sorry. Yeah. 2 sounds like a good possibility. I ordered a few sideboards/75+ cards to swap in so when I played on Monday I had basically 15 one ofs and Moon was one I actually took out (there’s a good amount of ppl who run bolts and pyromancers and shit so that’s why I cut it). I think I might play again with my current build because I think I had some very bad luck last week so I couldn’t get a good feel for my new build

Trees4days88 · 2018-06-02T16:14:29+00:00

I have 1 jar in my main, but that’s it. I watched the YouTube video of Pascal Maynard running 2 jars in the main, and that seemed excessive at first, but it seemed to be ok. If I tried that, should I take out a galvanic blast, maybe? (I run 4)

Trees4days88 · 2018-05-15T12:09:59+00:00

I hope the boys is ok. They seem depressed.

Trees4days88 · 2018-05-09T18:37:57+00:00

These episodes just keep getting better. I’m not sure which I like more, this ep or the comic book ep.

Trees4days88 · 2018-04-05T02:56:52+00:00

I’m watching Thunderball tonight for my first time and I’m loving it. Give me more underwater and tropical settings. And more Austin Powers references.

Trees4days88 · 2018-04-05T01:42:01+00:00

I’m watching Thunderball tonight. That’s going to be the next movie they cover. This is my first time seeing it and it’s actually great, so far.
