Still trying
hello, I want to say thank you again for letting me talk on here, and for everyones replys. I decided to try the tappering off method, it seems to be alittle easier I just hope it works in the long run. I was wondering, while reading some of your posts I noticed someone mentioning staying away from the caffeine while trying to get the vicodan out of your system? Is this something I should consider? I'm curious because I am a really big coca cola drinker. Should I lay off the cola for awhile? Thank You guys!:Dance7:
Why are cigarettes & caffeine exceptions in AA/NA
Nicotine & caffeine are mood-altering chemicals... yet it's commonly accepted that they will not "lead us back" to our DOC in the same way that drugs like alcohol or pot will.
Why the distinction? I definitely enjoy smoking & drinking coffee...and would definitely consider myself addicted to nicotine. Is it because these drugs don't have the capacity to make my life truly unmanageable? Let's say I was sober from ALL drugs and "relapsed" by chugging an energy drink and smoking a cig. I would definitely feel great and get "buzzed." Where is that line between mood-altering chemicals that exempts nicotine and caffeine?
I know I'm playing devils advocate here but it's something I've wondered from day one.
