With smoking i don't think it is possible,i am a smoker and that prospect would for me lead to starting again......think it has something linked to-want need and desire.
Why would you want to do anything you were addicted to in the first place once you had stopped.
I fully understand the point you raise,it's a moderation thing,i guess the only way to beat an addiction is to fully stop and never go back to what you were addicted too.

I have now watched his Jonathon Ross performance; he's not quite "there" is he?

I tought that as well, it was sad seeing him look so frail. I am reading his autobiography at the moment, despite the fame and money and everything that goes with it, I would not swap places, one unhappy bunny and blames no one but himself.

Try getting hangovers like I do. You could never be an alcoholic.

Possible definition, Alcoholics don't think they are alcoholics and heavy drinkers think they are alcoholics?

Widening the topic .. NSC is quite addictive. Are there any support groups? Is total abstinence the only cure?

I find self imposed banning orders are one such way of coping,mine normally last a week or so........ The OP went missing for weeks after Brexit,to the point we were all worried...doubt he was though,probably at a rave in Berlin or something.
I never saw the programme but my first question would be..............
Has he got a new album coming out or a tour coming up ?
That usually when people's ''former'' (and I use the word ''former'' loosely) addictions seem to all of a sudden be something they want to share with the public. Gets a nice sympathy vote that they have turned their lives around
Very few of them seem to want to discuss so readily at the time and to be honest very few of them stay sober or drug free for long. I think Billy Connolly was one of the few exceptions

We were all worried? Expect it was more the something
Seem to remember a Mod or Bozza saying some people request to have their accounts deleted or IP address blocked.

I was away during the referendum. Got back and couldn't be arsed to post given the climat and my disappointment. This is all. I then went on another break and got bored lying on a beach and started posting again. Anyway, let's get back on track there's too many EU threads on here.

Well that's fair enough,however i was expecting pictures from atop an open top bus surrounded by scantily clad ladies,drinking at that rave in Berlin...
I guess it's at what stage does one become an addict? rather than a casual user/drinker/smoker or whatever..
An addiction is something that a person cannot go without when the opportunity presents it's self yet at the same time the opportunity need not be present and can be called upon into the addicts reality in order for it to happen...
Its a tough one for not all addiction is the same..

I was a seriously heavy smoker until 15 years ago , 40 a day average and if I woke up at 3 in the morning I'd have a fag before I went back to sleep , if you WANT to give up you will , I used patches as a crutch (got prescribed them so cheaper) , I thought I'd never enjoy a drink again but I soon did , in short , I know it's hard , but it's very achievable if you want it ,feel free to PM me because there is lots of advice that is better explained personally.
Did you see Phil Collins on the One Show last week?
He had a little pop at cyclists
