• The posts near the move went, thats annoying. I made another post just about the crazy brain/skull drilling devices on display at the place above and more historical quack stuff. I'm trying to find some info on "water cures" as I know Darwin and many others at the time subscribed to them and being people looked on as great thinkers of the time it might be an interesting slice of history to look at but being great thinkers they all have written down tons of other stuff which people study and find interesting and bring up much higher on searches ugh

    Great to be the master of one's own recovery process if you're ready...but I wonder how many people feel even worse when they find they haven't got the motivation or willingness to try this stuff?

    I remember seeing a short discussion on the effects of trying/wanting to quit smoking and being unable too. Sure there is a physical addition but lots of the addiction is to the ritual and stuff that goes with it, some smokers probably get the same from carrying a ligher as a child can a comfort blanket but then who doesn't have an everyday carry with half a dozen items. Anyway a quitting smoker relapsing and having a single cig after a week can be a crushing blow both to them stopping and them in general.

  • A Dutch football coach replaced cigarettes with lollypops. I guess not ideal teeth-wise (though these days there's sugar free...) perhaps others use chewing gum, so they keep the ritual but ditch the chemicals :)
