My goal..
My goal – one that I first set as a new years eve resolution 2 years ago and have found damndably hard to achive – is to spend one year free from the influence of recreational chemicals. I include alchohol, nicotine, and a host of less legal ones. Right now, the counter is sitting at 356 days to go – or nine days down. At the end of the year, there is one particular recreational substance that I must never touch again because it causes me to lose all sight of moderation. I think all of you know what it is. I hope that this weakness will not keep me away from any of my dreams. We’ll have to see how it all plays out.
Two recreational chemicals I will permit myself are caffine and oxygen, both in moderation. I don’t think either is likely to seriously hurt me.

don’t know about the other drugs, but nicotine the first three days are the hardest… then after that it’s all in your head… btw rather then count days to go, count days of freedom and control. Why touch any recreational chemicals (other then caffine and oxygen)?

I had to give up caffeine because the it was making the tics worse to the point where it was hurting me. OTOH, you don’t have tourettes 😉
Oxygen…man, I’m an addict and I got to get my fix.
