• In the spiritual we all search for something like God,Nothinghess, etc,.We search for the elusive Self or finding the true who you are!Once on the path we loose the unreal body and merge in the true Self!

• Congratulations, that's a unique way to do it! I hope you managed to buy food for yourself though!

• Yeah I did. I'm still a teen, so I was living with my parents at the time.

• Wow, 40 a day!? That's impressive. What improvements in your health have you noticed since you quit?

• i eat more
  haha
  i wasnt that unfit for a smoker except my stamina was low but as i did performing arts i used to play about and pick people up and walk on my hands so i was relatively fit. Since i finished i work and sit on my ass so im not that fit now. if i was fit i would say stamina would have been better but due to laziness its worse haha.
  I'd say its still probably worth trying if you do want to actually give up.

• What I mean is - I didn't have anywhere to turn - my friends were doing it so that wasn't a good route, my parents didn't "understand" so that was a dead end. But I knew that the booze & drugs would eventually kill me and the smokes would have me looking older than I wanted after a while. I was lost looking for anything, anyone, anywhere and then I grabbed a Bible - after reading a little bit a sense of relief came over me. I no longer craved the drugs or booze - I didn't want the atmosphere it brought with it either. All I can say is - God is real because if he weren't I'd be higher than the cost of living right now with my face in a pile of dope and a 5th of rum next to me. We can try on our own but being delivered from it was even better.

• You're a rare species MojoThunder! Haven't come across many people with NO experience of addiction.
  
  Do you drink tea or coffee?

• no coffee ... can't stand it ... decaf tea ... i can go weeks without a soda ... having an alcoholic father and a drug addicted older sister really shows you what NOT to do
