I have never crashed a car or ended up in jail or couldnt make it to work or started any fights or destroyed a relationship or thought about killing myself because of my addiction to coffee and cigarettes. I have experienced all of that from drugs and alcohol. I have never stolen coffee. I have stolen cigarettes. Cigarettes are a serious addiction but they kill us slower and once you take away the booze and drugs, you can decide with a clearer mind if and when you will do something about these lesser addictions. The 12 steps of AA helped me quit smoking on Dec. 8, 1995(Drinking and drugs Aug 94). I have not smoked a single cig since that day. It really is only about one cigarette. I simply applied the same principles that I applied to my Alcoholism and drug addiction. I still drink coffee, but I dont think of it as a vice like drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
Unlike coffee, which I can have a couple of cups and be done with it. With the other stuff its like sex with a gorilla, you aint done til the gorilla says you are done.
