    Congrats!

    I have just over 5 years of alcohol and THC freedom under my belt.

    My hats off to you. I hope I can claim 34 years someday.

    Major Kong.........Good going! It's done one day at a time!

    The Human body is primed and ready to go for addiction!
    You daily coffee drinkers. Try laying off coffee for a day or two. Tell us about it!

    Wanna get hooked FAST? Try using nasal spray for allergy congestion for about 14 days. Quit cold turkey and let us know how things went!

    Cigarette smokers...........same deal.

    I have tried giving up the fluid of life. It wasn't a nice thing to see. Give up cigarettes and coffee at once. Yeah, right.

    Umm, what country was that you wanted wiped out again?
    Naw, I don't think so.
    Those have given up an addiction, you have my respect.

    I don't know what the **** kind of decongestant sprays you've used, but the current OTC ones have nothing that's inherently addictive. And if you're like me (allergic to anything with fur, anything that has leaves/buds and pretty much any type of mold), those sprays are the only thing that actually works. I'll take a clear, non-inflamed nose and being able to go five minutes without sneezing over the misery of my "allergy season" any friggin' day. If that makes me an addict then I guess I'm fucked.

    Addiction can come in any and many forms.
    The demons that drive it are not fun.

    My hat's off to you Flash and to your journey.

    The problem is overuse, not the product: rhinitis medicamentosa

    Took the wife a long time to get over it.

    In order to quit smoking 24 years ago, had to give up beer at the same time.
    Haven't had but a couple of beers in 24 years.
    Each time, immediately wanted a smoke...
    Otherwise, don't even think about cigarettes.

    Had a friend/business associate who was seriously addicted to nasal spray for years. Doctors tried & failed to get him off of it. When the effects of the spray wear off, your airway slams shut regardless of Allergic substances so....shoot it again. I've been hooked on the stuff. It's hard to get off of.

    The point is that the Human body is set up for moderation. You can do just about anything if your use is moderate. When moderation goes, you're set up for an addiction.

    I'm not trying to accuse or stir up trouble, but I have an addictive personality. My motto is "Anything worth doing, is worth doing to excess!" It got me into a lot of problems.
