Should I Cut Back on Smoking and Start Drinking More?

Question by Antonio R: Should I cut back on smoking and start drinking more?
I smoke at least two ciggs a day. And well the reason I smoke is to relive some depression I might be feeling. So I was think is it better to cut back on that and just start drinking more? Last night I started drinking from 12:00 a.m. Until 4:00 a.m. and no one was at home so even though I felt drunk I did no real damage but I did get a hang over the next day. I’m only 19 and I think I’m heading towards a break down. What should I do?

Answer by mlgable
Smoking and drinking is not the answer. Yes you did do damage last night as alcohol is very very hard on all of your organs. Smoking is also not good. How about seeing your doc for a diagnosis and treatment?

How Do You Go About Helping Someone Who Has an Addiction to Pornography?

Question by indigonipple: How do you go about helping someone who has an addiction to pornography?
I recently discovered that my boyfriend of 1 year is addicted to pornography. We’re both 24. I knew he looked at it but, I didn’t know it was this bad. He doesn’t even tell me when he looks so I know he is ashamed. He was molested as a child so it might have something to do with it. I found out when I used his computer. The history window was open when I logged onto the internet and he had been to literally hundreds of different porn sites over the last few weeks. I don’t think looking at porn is bad but, he is obviously out of control. We have watched porn a few times together before but when I suggested we should look at it together he thought that was weird. Tonight he told me he was too tired to have sex and sent me home. As soon as I left, he shut off all the lights and I saw the computer turn on. I didn’t accuse him of it but he got mad when I called and asked him what he was doing. We love each other and I want to help. Any ideas how I can make him realize this isn’t healthy?
