Now I'm hungry, have an urge to smoke and really want to go home to play some ODST. God this day is dragggggggggggggggggggggggggging. So, you are on day one. Good luck with that though, more than half the people who "quit" smoking end up going back within the first month of their quiting anyway. Way to be motivational. Dont listen to him. Beat the statistics! Its called being truthful. Do you really want to lie to anyone? I wasnt lying to him at any point in anything I said. I was providing him with support and encouragement.

Sectumsempra said: Quite a few of my friends say, swear to the lord, that they got over smoking easier by ferociously playing Pokemon gameboy games until the urge leaves. Thats the reason. You are so caught up into something else that you don't realize anything else. Which is also a bad thing. You also lose mental capacities if you overexert this, and you also lose mental discernments towards reality and fantasy also. But, whatever works for you, I wish you luck, and hope you don't fall under the statistics, which you probably will (otherwise, it wouldn't be the general norm, would it?)

It was all about filling the giant time gaps and getting out of the regular schedule. Then again, there's no addictive substances that I'm inhaling with XI ..except all that freaky elf sex. D:

In this case, they are both one and the same. You can be encouraging and truthful at the same time. But, when statistics show that you will fail at doing something, then why would you want to encourage that failure? Odds are, you will destroy them more than help them with your comments because, guess what, he not only failed himself, but now he also failed you. You honestly wish to have that hanging over his head? Good luck is all is needed to be said. Showing false hope is just going to make the crushing defeat even worse.

Do 100% of smokers go back after quitting? No; therefore, there is a chance of winning. Ergo, we're not encouraging his failure. God, you're such a Debbie Downer.

I've tried a few months ago, but alcohol is an evil thing.
I know I can do it again, but not having the tools with me this time sucks.
I.E. Candy/snacks
You know I can go all day without smoking if I'm playing FF and I have a lot going on so I can't take a break.

You know I can go all day without smoking if I'm playing FF and I have a lot going on so I can't take a break. Having never had to quit smoking/drinking I cannot offer you specific advice, just general habit kicking tips :x Occupying your mind with FF is one way to go about it, find a hobby(FF fits that) distract yourself and eventually the brain cells that make you crave nicotine will die out and you will lose interest.

I shove a mouthful of hard candy and just go about my business. Chantix worked wonders for me though. For those days that I failed, it forced me not to smoke since it made the cigarette taste like ***again.

Rowland said: You rely too much on numbers Korpg, just because "everyone else" has troubles with it, you have to take it down to the personal level and find out more about him before you can make accusations like that.
It can't be too out of the ordinary for someone to quit smoking, otherwise I'm sure there would be a movie about how one man overcame his struggle to stop smoking! Numbers don't lie. They can be skewed, but in all honesty, thats the person who made the numbers, not the numbers themselves. Thats the beauty of numbers period. Rumaha said:

Everything breaks when given enough pressure. Thats why I said: Quote: if you overexert this meaning, when you go over the breaking point. What is the breaking point? I don't know the answer to that question, but do you honestly want to test it out? Sectumsempra said: But, when statistics show that you will fail at doing something, then why would you want to encourage that failure?
Do 100% of smokers go back after quitting? No; therefore, there is a chance of winning. Ergo, we're not encouraging his failure. God, you're such a Debbie Downer. When he does fail, do you want to know that you encouraged his failure? Its a very high probablilty that he will fail. Why? Cause numbers don't lie. Over 50% fail within the first month doesn't mean that he has a little less than 50% of suceeding, it means that he has a little less than 50% of suceeding the first month. People still fail after that. Very very very few people actually, 100%, truly quit smoking. And thats after years of anguish. I personally don't want to encourage his pain over quiting. So, I say "Good luck"

:/ 50% is still a high percentage.. I managed to quit just fine, but that's because I couldn't afford to keep doing it, and I hated to bum some off people.

statistics, especially those concerning addictive products like crack and heroine(or whatever you smokers use), can be skewed to show that the product itself isn't as lethal as people claim it to be.
And why is the ad on this page asking me if i have ADHD? Everyone knows that isn't a real disorder.

Some mind's are built for overexertion, not all, but some people also know their breaking point, you have a fair point. But not all people are equal in mental capacity, some fight off addiction easier etc etc.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
