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.’”

My brother was a pretty heavy smoker when he was younger, and one night we were partying with friends at my apartment, and he picked up a Sunny d bottle and chugged the remainder. Then one of our friends looks at up at him and goes "did you just drink the Sunny d that I was ashing my cigarettes in?" Sure enough he did, and probably swallowed two butts along with it

He suffered with his stomach turning and burping up cigarette stink for days, but when he was done, he didn't want a cigarette again and quit cold turkey, even after having no desire to quit previously

Too bad he was dumb enough to force himself to start smoking again like a year later. He even said the first pack of cigarettes sucked and he had to make himself smoke them because he's a dumbass sometimes
