Be very, very careful.

My occupation is much different than yours but I enjoy the silence.

Some of my best ideas come when I'm jogging or biking, which for me, is extremely relaxing despite the physical aspect.

I compose and produce music for a living. While I could always compose with poor hearing, I wouldn't be able to mix, especially a 100 piece orchestra with heavy guitars and sound design synths and other crazy sounds.

I take every precaution and I'm glad you're doing it as well.

Peanut butter sandwich right before bedtime...

Speaking of...night erbody!!

i really need to work on protecting my ears.. I'm an idea machine and whenever my bandmate and I work on an idea.. and he does the drums.. the crash is so deafening..it was worse before we rented out a studio.

both

Space that shit out dude.

Speed shifting on the on ramp.

Oh I'm aware. But I want to at least stop shoving cancerous smoke into my body. I'm hopeless. And that is depressing. It sucks.

Not getting road stalked by creepos

:facepalm:

You're a ****ing moron.

Go **** yourself.

Dane and i are cool he wouldn't post that :)

I'M saying it and I'm crediting Dane for the poetic lyric. :)

That seems like a slippery slope, my friend.

Patch? Gum? Hypnosis?

Are you certain someone isn't following you with a small, high-pitched noise machine?

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

Be deaf in one ear, birth defect. Put the good ear in the pillow and a freight train can go by.

I like Australian style soft black licorice.

There's someone following me all the time, but I've never asked whether he has a noise machine. That's a good thought.

I would have had more respect for you if you had said meth or crack.

Aftermath of prescribed pills

Were you aware of the potential for addiction as you continued your use? I'm not judging you, I'm just curious about what you were thinking as the addiction developed?

Also, at some point did you have to start lying to your doctor or buying on the black market to feed your habit?

Been there, 8 years of prescribed opiates.

real talk bro.. real talk.

Had to think long and hard about this. So my addiction is thinking.

I thought it would be coffee. Have to have 4 cups every morning black and strong Cafe Verona from Starbucks that I make here. BUT, since I had to think too long about it this being it, I suddenly realized my addiction is really thinking.

I used Vaping to quit smoking and became extremely addicted to Vaping. Now I'm quitting that and it's been 2 days and I'm dying. I hope I get over it soon.

I'd still count coffee if I was you.

True Buddhist insight.

We think alike, on this.

No offense but just quit being a pussy.

LOL

I have this problem as well.

The Tres Stoogez are an excellent addiction.

All metal cyclone fan on high.

Thank me later

I've tried it.


It just reminds me of cutting weight and I end up even more restless. LMAO.

That really sucks

Nicotine is a physical addiction. No offense, just suck my dick.

I'm also not being a pussy. I quit. It ****ing sucks though. Again, please suck my dick.

ROFL

My dad smoked for 32 years. His doctor told him to quit in 1985.

He's never smoked since.

Be the ball, Buck.

Be the ball.

Quit crying then, bitch.

Hell I was being nice.



I've quit much worse in my life. It's easy if you aren't a ****ing pussy

Please, suck my dick.

Shut up you ****ing whiny ****.



Pussy
I'm sure you would love for a guy to suck your dick but you should probably have mommy take you to the tranny bar.

I agree. Thank goodness for the sleep function on TVs.

Hang in there Buck. Everyone has their own motivation for quitting. I'm nearing two weeks without a dip, after a can a day habit for awhile, and dipping overall since 1996. For me personally I just literally added up all the transactions from my local convenience store and I was spending $96/mo on chew on the low end. Something just snapped in my head and I said **** this, and just didn't buy anymore when I ran out of it.

It was a bitch the first few days, but now I find myself not even thinking about it all all. And if I do, it's only for a few moments then I'm easily off to something else in my mind.

Good luck .

I'm just ****ing with you, but calling someone a pussy for saying quitting is hard while they're quitting is a shitty thing to do. So please, suck my dick.

It's actually not good for you to fall asleep in front of a tv. It prevents a deep sleep.

Mayhaps I don't want or require one.

Fan....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I was being supportive.

I'm sure you don't like being a pussy, maybe you didn't realize it before today.

Now that you do realize it quit being a ****ing pussy.

Already covered.

If you sleep with a fan on, how do you hear criminals and axe murderers sneaking up on you? I sleep in silence so that I may live.

I think I'll be ok.

ADT security and cameras, multiple gates with 6" spikes on top and two 75 pound dogs.

Silence is golden.

Ignorance is bliss.

I thought I was the only one that couldn't sleep without a fan. It started in the 60's growing up in Florida. We didn't have A/C until I was about 16, we had one of those attic fans that sucks air up into the attic. It makes a ton of noise. I've had a fan most of my life, been married 26 years and my wife is hooked also.

About ten years ago we went to Myrtle Beach and stayed at somebody's house and they didn't have a fan, I had to go to Walmart and buy a fan to have while we were there. Now I always take a fan unless we're staying in a motel that I know has one of those A/C units below the front window.

The worse time was when I was in the Army, but then I was either too tired to stay awake or too drunk. When I was in Korea we had the doors and windows open all the time on our quonset hut so I had a mosquito net on my bed. When the weather got cold I was the only one that still had their mosquito net on their bed. I got use to it and couldn't sleep without that net. I think that was my replacement for a fan.

You people are all going to be killed in your sleep. I just know it.

Beer and CP.

More often than not both at the same time...

So... Starting early today?

I get off at 7:30 AM.

I always start early...

Right on ! LMAO

cocaine is my addiction unfortunately.

On a more serious not Kodi - Phoenix has been my addiction recently. So many new release movies and great anime collection. I love it.

At first, no. It was quite a long journey to get to where I was fully dependent on them. It just kind of happened over the course of several years. One day realized I was on the hook. But I'm off now and never felt better.

There were several times though that I had to buy from the black market (aka a couple buddies got them for me) whenever I ran out early or whatever.

Alarms on all windows and doors here.

That shit is so ****ing loud it hurts your ears.

Chocolate, sugar, caffeine there! Name that and I am going to it!

I have to have the TV on to fall asleep. Well, I don't have to, I guess, but it would take me much longer. I just put my TV on a 1 hour sleep timer and watch until I'm out. And believe me, I have no trouble sleeping like a log.

I know you're just trying to motivate him but nicotine is a very strong drug. I quit smoking cigarettes many times before I truly quit. It pulls you back in. You have to have a pretty strong will to break free.

FYP

Mine is beer. I feel that I get a decent amount of exercise by walking, playing hoops, and biking that if I didn't like beer so much I might be able to take off a few pounds. It also doesn't help that you couldn't pay me to drink low calorie crap like Michelob Ultra. I like craft beers.
