I do this a lot... though I've tried them all. It started before I hadn't though. I've drawn lienes for myself though, because I also get cravings for hard drugs I've never even seen be used lol. Except on TV.

For me it's the idea of it, I think. That this is a tried and true method of self-medication. Or the image it gives off. Or just the comfort of having something in my hands mixed with the image... It's hard to explain. Image means a lot to me, sadly. For me it depends on the day as to why I want it.

Interesting thing; because of this I don't have any addictions to things. I give in when my body asks me to give in, but it's not an 'addict's cycle'. Eg, I chain smoke for a few weeks (2 months is my max), and then suddenly just quit without realizing it. (4-6 months typically) and then start again. I'll still have half a pack of smokes left from when I was chain smoking, with no desire to finish them.

End note, however: don't give in. Try things in moderation, but set limits and keep them. These are not good habits to fall into.

((((Xambggi)))) Good luck, and feel free to talk to me whenever.
