    I am legit blown away that this greentext didn’t end with Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur. I was absolutely sure that would be how it ended after reading the penultimate paragraph

      Fuck yeah it can.

      You’ve poisoned yourself to the point where your body now has a dependence on the poison.

      Nuts

        Withdrawal sucks ass. I should have checked into rehab last time, but didn’t. I had emergency numbers on standby and someone to check on me, but that was about it.

        I was in bed for about a week, but pulled through. It took about 6 months for the cravings to slow down, and another 6 until my brain started to function properly. My weight shot up about 50 lbs, but I have finally lost all of that. Heart problems that me and my doc were trying to figure out disappeared as well.

        Learning life again was weird and I am a much different person now. People have called me nice and fun to be around, which is super weird. Life does get better.

          I third this, it was where all the waste lie in my life. Quitting drinking made quitting smoking easier, which made exercising easier, all of which gave me a more positive outlook, and before I knew it, I had myself the best girl I could have ever asked for (she asked ME out), my home was clean, I had the energy to clean and cook and type out run-on sentences for days!

          Quit at 36, I’m 38, best two years of my adult life. Plenty more to go. Glad to be on the same journey as you fellas
