So you were once an alcoholic then?
I'd agree with that comment, being a smoker I can still smell if someone has been for a fag. I can also walk into a room and smell stale smoke and your right it does stink..............but i still cant stop
But to say that simply "hard work" will break an addiction is hopelessly naive at best, really. You need hard work and dedication to do it, I quite agree, but it isn't the only thing required.
The implication in your comments that people who can't manage to do something are "not trying hard enough" is rather very patronising too, I'd reckon.
This is the issue I have.
I havn't denied that it can't be done just that this 'you obvioulsy havn't tried' attitude is absolute bollocks.
For you maybe it wasn't.
Givign up is different for everybody.
Ahh well, reckon whatever you like.
The idea is that people often stick with the easy option. A lot of people don't try hard enough, because they don't want to. Of course some people just can't do it on their own, that's why there exist a plethora of support options, that a lot of people don't investigate. You might think that that's being patronising. Personally I think that it's the truth.
Aye.
One word reply to that...................BULLSHIT
and believing that it is is the only thing that will make it so.
And I know several people who've done every thing going and still couldn't quit.
So it goes, eh? They should try a bit harder
I've seen people give up with ease too. Eveybody's different.
Exactly. Which is half of what I am trying to put across. Approaching giving up with an attitude of "giving up is impossible, I'll never be able to do it" is a self-fullfilling prophecy.
Yep..
Exactly, so that does not give people the right to come out with it is easy...for the majority of people its fookin hard so lets not get into the "Its easy " crap.
I don't think anyone has actually said it is easy though ...
i did, sorry
I can't say I have really. Mind you most of my mates don't take crack these days.
I smoke crack every now and again but you can be sure that I'd never let any get on the floor in the first place.
I would agree with this in regard to drugs, most people I have known have been incredibly anal about not letting any of it get anywhere near the floor.
And please, if you must try and insult my intelligence, don't resort to such vulgar swearing.
:yeees:
Your so full of shit.
I used to smoke.
You seriously telling me that there were these 'little chavs' hanging around outside the shop who asked you to buy fags for them despite the fact they were 16 or older?
You then bought the fags, left the shop and walked right passed him?
I'm sure I'm not the only who thinks this is bullshit.
Laugh as much as you like Skive, for frankly, I couldn't care any less than I do right now.
