  1. The worst part about the whole thing for me is Nick's and his wife's flippant attitude towards their kids. If you're single and childless and want to destroy your life with excessive substance abuse then fine. I don't care. But when you have kids, you should damn well shape up

  2. Unfortunately, the authorities have proven his guilt. There's a CPS report that shows his kid testing positive for cocaine, and Nick has confirmed that the report is real.

  3. ​ @2steps1ceps38 Depends how badly you crave alcohol. I enjoy whisky and cigars. And i'll admit, I smoke and drink almost daily. However, some days I need to get up earlier for work the next morning, or I've had a particularly hard day at work and just feel like going to bed early. During these days, I don't go outside for my after dinner ritual of a smoke and some whisky. So far I haven't experienced any cravings at all when I go without alcohol or cigars, even for several days in a row. Sometimes I skip it for a few weeks because I've noticed that daily smoking and drinking end up numbing my tastebuds and sense of smell, so I can't enjoy the flavor as much. And since flavor is the primary reason for me, I take a long break to reset the tastebuds so I can enjoy the smoking and drinking better a few weeks into the future. My alcohol consumption is also always rationed. Never drink more any given day than what fits in my pocket flask, which is about a quarter of a bottle of whisky. If I drink the whole flask in an evening, then that's it. No more for me that evening. And it doesn't even get me buzzed, let alone drunk.

  4. ​ @TheEudaemonicPlague  You do develop an addiction to pain medication in the long run though, since the body would experience withdrawal symptoms if you stopped medicating cold turkey. So "addict" would be an appropriate word. That said, if you're addicted to pain meds because you use them to treat chronic pains, then you're not a "substance abuser".
