Me? I've recently quit smoking on July 1st, after 8 years. Wanted to know who else has something they've overcome recently/previously and want to share.

Managed to throw out half of the junk in my spare room. I think it was a small hoarding issue.

I got rid of some clutter in my storage room. I can actually walk in, now.

I haven't gone more than 3 days without beer in over 8 years.

hey man, thats great! some people cant even go ONE DAY without alcohol. even wine.

I wish more people were like you. 8 years, or 10 years, progress is progress.

I can't stand alcoholism and I wish my family would get help or leave.

The shortest time I was between professional jobs was 18 hours. After that job, I was unemployed for 3 months because I was asking for $20K less than I should have been.

Thats alright, you learned your value.

Nothing wrong with that. I havent made that mistake yet, but I can see myself doing it once or twice when I start my business.

Completing every online achievement in call of duty World At War. My clan leader set out a challange to do so with the promise of a prize. After just over 14 days of play time, I finally completed it. The hardest part was the patience in getting the 3,300 some odd head shots. Those fucking bolt action rifles and that double barrel shotgun were the worst.

Anyways my prize was some cookies and candy from Canada and a pair of (unworn) call of duty boxers (that I still possess).

Congrats on quitting smoking by the way.

HOLY SHIT. CAN YOU SEND ME A PIC?

Ive heard of this happening but I didnt know it ACTUALLY DOES.

Thank you, the withdrawls have started to subside, so its a easier

Of the boxers or the achievments?

Because I haven't had a ps3 since 2011 or so. So backing up my claim is a bit more difficult, TheRealMcNeal would vouch for me though.

Edit: does anyone know if it's possible to look up achievements and stuff on psn. Com or something?

[–] [Deleted] 1 points (+1|-0)

the boxers, but I wouldnt mind the achievements. I believe you, nonetheless.

Try posting that in another sub, Im not sure if it will be found in this long ass comment reply thread.

I encourage people to feed the Red Cross vampires. Most bosses will let you out of work, which is another incentive.

several years ago i made a new years resolution to stop ripping my nails (similar to biting, except i dont want nails in my mouth <_<). only new years resolution i've ever made that stuck permanently.

[–] [Deleted] 1 points (+1|-0)

okay wait, this fucked me up because I do this. like, you rip off the 'white part' of the nail? or like full out take off the nail and have sausage fingers?

I JUST DID IT WHILE READING THIS TOO.

[–] [Deleted] 0 points (+0|-0)

haha, taking out the full nail and have sausage fingers? what am i some nutcase? yeah, ripping the white part. its bad for your nail and a bad habit. i used to do it all the time to and probably would while reading your comment lol

[–] [Deleted] 1 points (+1|-0) Edited

I think a really bad habit (thats similar to this ) for me, was when I would count EVERYTHING.

I could hear a word like 'tree' and it would be equated to the number 3.

(t = 20th letter in alphabet (2 simplified), R = 18th (9 simplified [8+1]), E = 5th letter, x2 = 10 (1+0=1))

therefore, 2 + 9 + 1 = 3, because 9+any other letter just reverts BACK to the original simplification, so i just ignore it, or i add up the letters that would make 9 (or 18, 27, 36, etc.) together, and simplify it that way.

it fucked me up, but I can do it with ANY word, and i can find mathematical patterns alot easier now. I took the military exam today, and I finished in 15minutes.

I can also do sentences, and some paragraphs.

It's 100% involuntary and I dont know anybody else in my family who does it.

I just really. really. REALLY wish this would end. (Really = 1, try calculating that)

I went to a casino twice in the last month with my brother because he wanted to go for the buffet...which is surprisingly good quality. I won $100 the first trip and $160 the second trip playing baccarat.

[–] [Deleted] 1 points (+1|-0)

Whatd you spent the 260 on?

[–] jobes 1 points (+1|-0)

Nothing yet really, most of it is still in my wallet. Maybe I'll buy a new cat tree with it and put the rest towards my new bed
