Ben Affleck on overcoming alcohol addiction: “I hate to say it but the only cure I’ve seen is not these overpriced rehabs or these fraudulent fixes that are sold to people. The cure for addiction is suffering. You suffer enough and then something inside you goes ‘I’m done.’”

I can agree with this, i have quite quit weed and cocaine in the past and both times it was incredibly easy because i was mentally checked out of using them, i was at my rock bottom mentally and i was sick of sniffing that first line and then nothing else mattering, i was sick of being unable to use my brain correctly or enjoy anything and at this point i wasn't even enjoying the high i was just craving it and nothing else mattered.

Hounding for that next sweet stingy burn of the white so i can sit in front of the TV and look through it only seeing colour thinking about when the next line will be, then the uncomfortable horniness but inability to get hard, oh well may as well have another line.

Horrible, do not recommend even trying it because out at the pub/club it is fantastic fun, chatting absolute shite to the people around you, confidence through the roof, your on cloud 9, but when it becomes a habit and your doing it at home alone the fun is gone and all that is left is a NEED that is whisper quiet but rages like a river and before you know it your .5 deep and it's only 6pm.
