Should I start Smoking/ and or Drinking?

Question

I dont really like to drink...

I quit smoking about a month ago.

I was thinking of starting again because, I am 24, I never had a g/f, I never had freindS, I have been outta work for 16 months, and i feel like i have nothin to lose

Answer 1

no that doesnt slove anything, it makes situations worse, try getting involved with something you like to do and meet new people. good luck!

Answer 2

Forgetting about the health issues, it's an expense that you really probably can't afford right now. Especially cigarettes at $10 per day its over $300 per month - you could buy a car for that.

You sound like your depressed right now, drinking will only add to that. Seek councelling - lots of freebees out there and nothing to be ashamed of. A councellor will help build up your confidence and self-esteem. Once you're feeling better about yourself, you'll attract new people in your life and make changes for the better. You're still really young - and there's lots of singles out there. The right one will come along when your ready.

Take care.

U may think u have nothing to loose, but you have every thing!!!!! evan your internet!!!!!with no internet then you cant use yahoo answers. dont give up. thare is more out thare than you think. u just feel sad at the moment. im single too. i havent had a gf ever scince the 9th grade. but im going to the gym and looking better. i was once in your positon. i know how you feel. i got 3 phone numbers yesterday at the gym. you can do the same with some faith. and never do drugs or drink because you have nothing to do. thats not the right thing. the right thing to do is find a boost of confadince. go to church, read a book, go to the gym, evan surf the web, but what ever you do dont ruin your life.i have lost 2 realitves to drugs. you can do it!!!!!!!

Answer 4

dude read your statement again.

you actually have a lot to lose. let me enumerate:
- by smoking again, you risk lung cancer and other lung problems.
- smoking does nothing for your health. nothing.
- smoking COSTS MONEY. if you don't have a job, you're just adding to your cost of living.
- drinking can leave you with the risk of getting arrested or getting into an accident.
- drinking can only lead to one thing: drunkenness.
- you don't want to hamper yourself with vices.

my advice for you is this: find someone you can confide in. find a friend, i'm sure you'll find one. after that, get a job. if you can't get that, make yourself useful. i think what you're looking for is fulfillment, and by the way things are looking, you're not going to find it by delving into your vices again.

I don't want to sound "preachy" but believe me, i've been there and it's not a good way to live. make something out of yourself, than you'll find that what you're looking for ain't that far off.

Answer 5

i dont think you should start smoking and drinking....i think you should straighten yourself up, change your style up some, get out there and meet some ppl, find a job even if its a small part time job for the time being n then make friends with your coworkers and go out have fun dont throw your life away now you still have a long time to live and have fun dont giv up just yet

Answer 6

You have nothing to lose -- but your brain cells, your health, your self esteem, even your life?! You are far more prescious than that. You sound depressed and you should go see a Dr. about it. Learn to love yourself. Develop more interests and hobbies, take classes. Just explore this amazing world (Yahoo Answers is a great start!) and get high on LIFE. Give yourself time and patience, buddy, and take CARE.

Answer 7

u dont' want to get cancer or any of the painful things from smoking and drinking only if it's going to help u meet people would be ok, and drinking when ur depressed is really bad, but better than either of those would be to go to church

Answer 8

Start excercising. It prove you are not lazy, and it will help with all sides of this problem, as well as your self esteem. it is also amazing the chicks you will meet in the gym.

A lot of people don't like excercising at first, so you will get used to it. Before long you willl be hooked, hot and hooked up with the hottest chickies in town.

Answer 9

Well, smoking and drinking can hurt your lungs and other parts and people can tell if you do that, I heard it from The Cosby, Himself (We have the DVD) so to be healthy and live eternaty, do the right thing and don't make that same mistake again

Answer 10

No! Please don't. I don't know you but man when stuff doesn't always go right for me, I pull out the bible and read it. It has some good stuff in it. Smoking and Drinking are not the way to go, and definitely is not attractive in my part and I'm a female. So yea, goodluck.

Why don't you have friends,
I'll be your friend .
Sorry life sucks sometimes.

God Bless,
Victoria

Answer 11

if you quit smoking then you shouldn't start again, t's damgerous to you and everyone around you. as for drinking look for an AA meeting in your town to stop that too. you'll feel much better (and get more girls) once you're sobber and have stopped smoking.
