Same goes for alcoholics that quit drinking


Not so (or at least in my case). I quit that too last week and don't miss it. Can buy reasonable wine here at just $1.50/btl so for the past few years sitting on my arse at home I'd have a bottle for lunch and a bottle for dinner, often more. Not sure if that qualifies me as an alcoholic but I simply drank it like water then last week thought "WTF am I doing?". Miss the cigs though!

Fair, more power to you. I know someone that used to be an alcoholic and he says he'd never drink again because he wouldn't stop kinda thing. I've never been a heavy drinker personally, but I've smoked for the last 10yrs with the occasional break. My intention is to quit this summer.

Yeah, with your username I rather suspected cigs and charlie would be your thing which is why I took to you immediately :lol:

Do your mate's hands shake? One of my chefs is a reformed boozer and hasn't touched the stuff for years, but his hands shake like crazy to this day. It's handy for making a good pancake batter though.

Good luck in the summer.

Hahaha cigs and charlie is just getting warmed up mate, sure you know that. My mouth is still hurting from Saturday just gone.

His hands don't shake as far as I'm aware. Less of a mate and more just someone I know.

You mean I could be a top player tomorrow? I've always wanted to be a top player tomorrow. :D

Seriously though, I feel your frustration, even though we didn't ever play in the same game. We had a start in one of the games I was in that I can guarantee we would not lose from where we were if it were a clan game...and we lost because we failed to play as a team. I wonder if it bothers other people like it bothers me?

I doubt it. There are numerous players on this site that play without looking to improve.

Why do you even bother playing this game if you can't simply copy or quote the last post in the thread? :roll:
