Social - Cocaine and Bookworm

[frosty]

Has anyone ever played this stupid little game Bookworm...I found that
on my current binge of 73 hours at the moment I can't pull myself away
from this damn game when I'm on yeo...I'm also about 10 million times
better at it...I've never gotten above 300,000 sober but I'm currently
over 3 million...Which makes me want to ask the question of why they
call it dope...Just a warning if you
start skiing the slopes at your house and plan to go out...don't start
this freaking game up...oh well at least I'm almost out...it's about
time got work tomorrow

Jeesh, SWIM can relate to the 73 hours thing... that's about the point that any repetitive activity is the thing to do. Haven't played Bookworm myself tho... usually it's just Solitaire for hours on end. Is it an online game; got a URL?

where can i find bookworm? i'm always up for a new addicting game



the one game i was way addicted to was the sims. i stayed up many a
night playing that game. and that was without any drugs to keep me
wired! i kinda miss it...



so today it looks like i will spend hours searching for my lost sims game!

[frosty]

Well you can play it online at www.popcap.com but the downloadable
deluxe version is where it's at=)....don't know why this thing is so
addictive...anyways the skiing trip lasted 76 hours I usually only go
12 and then sleep some and start again but I think from now on this is
the way to go. Usually I end up withdrawn as hell for about 3 hours
till I can sleep but this time I went right to sleep 5 minutes after
the last line....wasn't going to do any more for a couple of
months..because I just realized I've spent 5,000 bucks since january on
the shit...but made a call tonight and looking to get a couple of
g's....shits got a hook on me....but it's not negatively affecting
anything at the moment...so I shall carry on=)

AND I'M BACK PLAYING BOOKWORM AGAIN DAMN....not only is coke addictive...everything you do on coke is addictive

SWIM feels like coke narrows his horizons and kills his imagination. Know what I mean? It screws with your perspective, so it seems like right this minute is all there is in life, sort of like a 3-year-old thinks. Very conducive to doing compulsive stuff, cuz (at least in SWIM's case) he can't think creatively enough to come up with noncompulsive stuff. Dunno how the hell Sigmund Freud did it & still came up with all that, but he did come up with some pretty weird theories...

There's no doubt in SWIM's mind, cola is not good for you in any sense of the word, either physically or mentally. Not that he thinks people should stop, just sayin'... Edited by: Nicaine

frosty completely agrees..frosty used to care about many things. He
used to lift weights compulsively now he goes once a week just to try
and keep what he has...if not on coke he's very bored...so while he can
keep from doing it if theres no money....the second he does get spare
change he goes and does it....and to be truthful this 76 hour binge is
the first time he's had fun on it in months but he keeps doing
it....his birthday was the weekend of the 31st and he ran through
11grams that week of high quality stuff...don't know how you've been
doing it for decades

[Nicaine]

I don't do it at all, my buddy whom I post for is relating all this stuff.

Anyway, he's been doing it in a binge-type way for decades, not chronically. Usually REALLY heavy for several months (often when the opportunity/$$/whatever presents itself), followed by approx. 1-4 years in between, perfectly happy without it for the most part. He says he really doesn't want to keep this pattern up, but it ain't easy to shake. He's followed this sort of pattern with most other chems he likes as well.

P.S. 11 grams in a week is quite a bit. With a low to moderate tolerance that would be nearly constant usage, I think (heavier tolerance = longer breaks). Depends how many "friends" he's got swarmin' around him too, if any.... Edited by: Nicaine

ugh soo true! cept in my case it is meth. i will start somethin like
hmmmm...typing a SHORT reply to a post, and it turns into like 5 pages!
i will start something thinking it will take 5 mins and next thing i
know 1 am has turned into 6am! now i try to remind myself to refrain
from zoning in on something completely and making lists of things i
need to get done.



but yeah...it's prob a good thing i don't have the sims anymore... i
would seriously be up for days at a time without even noticing!



i will try the bookworm game though i can't help myself! just pray that i don't get addicted!

In the case of SWIM, he has me up and posting like a madman here when he's rollin', except instead of word quantity in a single post, it's overall quantity of posts. But is there anyone left here who doesn't know that yet, just from looking at the "Last Post By" field in half the forums on the board?

I'm normally a pretty prolific poster on most Internet forums, but when SWIM starts dictating to me I think I really become an annoyance (at least to myself, and I suspect maybe to others). I know I get tired of seeing my username over & over again... Edited by: Nicaine

I've run out of money for the next week....this will be 22grams by
himself in a smidge over 2 weeks...time for bookworm

Quite a roll there, frosty. SWIM tells me he's knocking off skiing the rest of the month himself (he's out of money, other than groceries, til beginning of July). It's a break he could really use too.

Who knows, maybe he'll even decide he prefers to spend his money on stuff that stays around awhile. I should talk him into trying Kratom... it's cheap, and word is it's a decent buzz.Edited by: Nicaine
