teh smoking IS a bitch; that's the one thing I never got hooked on...everything else, from shopping to demerol-yes. Oh, gambling. I'm AFRAID I'll get hooked so I don't buy those scratch off cards.
It's funny classic----you notice cigs all around you- I notice drinking. Watch one episode of BBT and see how much they drink. It's almost in every scene. It's also put forward as a panacea to every problem; even Raj's problem talking with girls. Penney uses it nearly constantly at work and home. People BOND over alcohol, become friends, intimate, funny, etc. that's the message. I wonder what heroin's message would be? hey, you'll sleep really great for about 15 hours and then wake up having shat your pants and wanting to throw up!! meh. I'm just pissed off because AA isn't working and cannot envision a future and I'm lonely.
so. sorry to hijack your thread
