Why would you actively try to take up regular smoking?

Eltroxin for my thyroid. I've never felt it doing me any good but have to stay on it for life.

I had my reasons. They weren't good reasons, but they were reasons all the same!

Alcohol once a week.
Caffeine a few times a month.
MDMA & weed at gigs and festivals every 2 months or so.

Malari · 25-05-2017 12:52PM

Caffeine most days, and alcohol a few times a week, although I don't really think of them as drugs.

Other than that, baby-be-gone pill daily, and an anti-histamine of some description as required...usually in the summer.

eviltwin · 25-05-2017 12:54PM

Nothing, I might drink a couple cups of coffee a week and drink alcohol the odd time but I'm not on any medication and I don't use recreational drugs.

koumi · 25-05-2017 12:57PM

Caffeine is my drug of choice
Nicotine , I've tried vaping before but nothing like a roll
Paracetamol couple of times a week
Alcohol couple of times a year

(I purchased cbd oil recently and took it for about two weeks, still have half a bottle left, not sure it qualifies as a drug though)

Cigarettes and weed daily,drink every second day,Benzos every Sunday morning and cocaine every couple of weeks.When I was a kid I took lots of yokes and speed, but that was 20 years ago. Don't touch them anymore.

You were really lucky..

My sister took them up in her 20's and is still lashing them into her now at 50..

I'm 2 years off the sauce and one year off the smokes this month.

For me the nicotine was way tougher.

I'm not saying that to dis respect your journey in any way..

Was just my experience and i've nothing but respect for yours..

You dodged a huge bullet

Every Sunday morning, is that a religious thing?

More of a ritual,Im usually hungover on Sunday mornings,my routine involves getting up at dawn,quick wash and shave,eat a handful of valium,harness up the dog and bring him for a long walk up the north co Dublin /East Meath coast.12k round trip,hangover gone by the time I'm home with breakfast and the papers. If it's a cold day I'll often take a flask of whiskey or rum to bolster me.

xzanti · 25-05-2017 02:43PM

Nothing at the moment as I'm pregnant.

Usually Caffeine and the odd 'over the counter' sleep aid when I need it.

I don't really drink anymore and I've never smoked.

Benzos are the only hangover cure that works but it's a slippery slope! I've had some world class hangovers at work, half a Xanax stick later and I'm able to function normally in meetings etc. But it's something I'd rather not get used to.

missyb01 · 25-05-2017 03:02PM

No cigarettes or alcohol.
I take imigran on a regular basis and symbicort inhaler everyday.

osarusan · 25-05-2017 03:09PM

Caffeine, alcohol, Nurofen, and last minute equalisers/winners.

rondog · 25-05-2017 03:09PM

Very similar to the other poster.Caffeine daily.
Alcohol every weekend.Usually hung over on sunday too but will take the dog for a long walk while sipping on a whiskey flask.Am feeling mighty fine when I return and usually meet family for breakfast in some greasy spoon.
Sunday night ill down a few glasses of red and sleep like a baby until Work Monday morning.

My wife takes imigran regular enough, (even has to buy packets from the UK)

I take symbicort inhaler, odd shot of ventolin to sometimes.

Widdershins · 25-05-2017 05:09PM

Caffeine via tea every day, and coffee when in town a few times a month. Alcohol four or five times a year (special occasions). Nicotine in the form of up to three cigarettes, roughly every few days. I had given up but started again and it increased to 6-8 every day for a few weeks recently. Morphine, as prescribed by a consultant, but at a third of the prescribed dose. The morphine's hopefully just a short-term necessity!

DEFTLEFTHAND · 25-05-2017 05:16PM

Fell off the cig wagon recently. Was out drinking and just said fcukn it I'm sick of this bloody vape thing. Went straight to the cig machine and nearly had an orgasm when I lit my first one.

It's such a cruel addiction, you think you're out then it pulls you back in.

notsoyoungwan · 25-05-2017 05:19PM

Nothing prescribed
Nothing OTC
Nothing illicit

I have caffeine daily, one can of Diet Coke and lots of cups of tea
I drink alcohol approx monthly

Believe it or not I was actually more interested in what percentage of people drink caffeine daily since I recently realised I'm addicted to it, and also what percentage of people rely on prescription meds of some sort.

I wouldn't expect anyone to think smoking pot in and of itself is 'cool', although you could probably do with some.

Caffeine very rarely. Tea first thing and last thing each day and loads in between. Last month or two drinking between 2 and 3 litres water daily.
Others prescription.

Raging_Ninja · 25-05-2017 05:23PM

Dihydrogen monoxide, chemtrails and the mind-control fluoride.

Seriously though, pretty much just tea - 5-7 cups a day. Don't like drink though if I have a social reason I might have one or two beers. Other than that just the odd panadol if I have a bad enough headache or neurofen if the tendonitis flares up.

Is this one of those things where we're all drug addicts and we're all on "the spectrummmmm" of drug addiction?

Way to bump up the numbers kinda thing?

A little off topic but what is the thinking of vaping nicotine. I used smoke, may years ago. I don't approve of it but mind my own business. Reading led me to believe that it was the added things in the cigs such as sugar and the effect of burning the weed producing tar that do the most harm. Right or wrong?

Wardling · 25-05-2017 05:38PM

Caffeine and tobacco daily. Alcohol maybe once a month if even and some good quality thc on a bi-annual blow out to relive my younger hippy days.

Flibble · 25-05-2017 05:50PM

I don't smoke or take drugs- I'd say I've smoked a joint maybe 10 times in my life so far, nothing else.

Alcohol... Meh. Used to be about once a week, but in the last year or so it's more like once every 3 months, maybe a beer or glass of wine when I'm having dinner out.

Caffeine- maybe once a week.

My only addictive substance I have trouble with is probably sugar- I'd find it difficult enough to go one day without a bar of chocolate or something sweet

I get my imigran in Spain. I haven't bought imigran in Ireland in 4 years. I bought symbicort the odd time in Spain as well
