[madame-fear]

guys, I need help— I’m trying to quit smoking, but I genuinely can’t. It’s like at the slightest inconvenience, or at any moment really, I have the tedious urge to smoke, no matter what.

I want to quit, really, but nothing helps— I’m obsessed. What do I do now? 🥴

TWs: 

-Smoking/cigarette addiction

-Domestic violence 

-Verbal abuse 

-Stockholm Syndrome 

Characters:

-Virgil Foster: 17 years old, the oldest child in the Foster family. Is Patton’s biological son. Fiercely protective over his little brothers and his papa, Logan. The instigator. Picks fights and does whatever he can to direct all negative attention towards him versus anybody else. Has a smoking addiction, but refuses to admit it. 

-Logan Foster: 35 years old. The papa of Virgil, Roman, and Remus. Weak and emotionally exhausted, his solution to his situation is to try and take as much of the brunt as possible. Has lost hope for any kind of escape, but does all he can to make his kids feel happy and safe in an unhappy and unsafe environment. Kind and gentle with his kids, though very protective over them. 

-Patton Foster: 52 years old. A cruel father to Roman, Remus, and Virgil especially, who is his biologically. Has a terrible drinking habit, and flies into drunk rages when things do not go his way. Loves to put down his children, sees them as parasites rather than kids. Heavily favors Roman, and makes this known. Gaslights and threatens his family into keeping quiet. 

-Roman Foster: 9 years old, a young boy who has a seemingly unlimited amount of optimism at his disposal. The golden child, and the baby of the family, usually sheltered from the situation by the rest of his family. Bright and cheerful, with an impressive work ethic, he’s determined to help his family in any way he can. Not as oblivious as people assume. Unhealthily attached to his twin brother. 

-Remus Foster: 9 years old. Hauntingly mature for his age, with a serious and callous disposition. Does all he can to protect his brother from Patton, glad to keep things the way they are as long as Roman is safe and unharmed. The black sheep. Has trouble regulating emotions, tends to use physical violence such as biting and clawing to try and escape unsafe situations. Unhealthily attached to his twin brother. 

-Remy Stonewall: 38 years old. Logan’s older brother. Owns his own coffee shop downtown. Had a rocky, turbulent childhood, but grew up into a wise, kind man. Loves his family, though he doesn’t get to see them very often due to Patton’s control over them. Knows little about the situation, but tries to help with the problems that he does know are present, such as their poverty. 

-Emile Picani: 34 years old. Remy’s boyfriend, and the temporary child therapist of Roman and Remus. A quirky, but kind person, who loves cartoons and helping troubled children. A hopeless romantic. 

Plot:

One could compare the Foster household to a dollhouse. Pretty and perfect on the outside, but on the inside, controlled by one person. Patton was a dictator in his family. He controlled all the money, all the schedules, all the food, all the chores. When he wanted something from his husband or children, he got it, no questions asked. And if he didn’t? That was when punishment ensued. 

The house was a miserable place for Logan, Roman, Virgil, and Remus. Logan, being Patton’s husband, has tried to escape many times, but it only resulted in worse and worse punishment, and taking it out on the children. So Logan stopped trying, and resigned himself to being Patton’s punching bag. 

Virgil, being a teenager, has had enough of Patton’s treatment. He openly rebels and instigates in order to draw Patton’s attention away from Logan and the little twins. It gets him hurt, but by now, Virgil is used to it. For most of his childhood, after all, Patton was all he knew. 

But soon, it all becomes too much. The twins are having a hard time hiding the bruises at school, and Virgil’s injuries get worse and worse, as does Logan’s. They decide that they need to run away from Patton. But where is there to go? Luckily, Logan’s brother Remy has a big house, and he’s always begging Logan to come visit. It all comes crashing down when Logan finally decides to tell Remy what’s been going on with Patton.

Smoking vs. Drinking: Which Addiction is Harder to Break?

When it comes to addiction, both smoking and drinking can be extremely difficult to overcome, but if we look at the habits and environments surrounding them, smoking addiction often proves harder to break. Scientifically, smoking has a higher rate of relapse due to the constant exposure. Unlike alcohol, which is usually consumed in social settings or private spaces, smoking happens out in the open. Whether you're walking down the street, waiting for a bus, or simply enjoying a cup of tea, you’re likely to see someone lighting up a cigarette, which makes resisting the temptation much harder.

One of the key challenges in quitting smoking is the high visibility. The fact that it's so normalized in everyday life increases the chances of falling back into the habit. On the other hand, alcohol is typically consumed in specific social environments, and people don’t drink openly on the streets. This reduced exposure means fewer triggers in your day-to-day life, making it slightly easier to avoid the temptation compared to smoking.

Additionally, the nicotine in cigarettes is highly addictive, and the chemical dependence is strong, causing frequent cravings. Smoking cessation treatment often involves tackling not only the physical addiction but also the psychological triggers. Whether it's stress, boredom, or simply being around others who smoke, the urge to pick up a cigarette can be constant.

However, help is available. A rehabilitation center provides structured support through counseling, nicotine replacement therapies, and personalized smoking cessation treatment plans to help you quit for good. The road may be tough, but with the right help and a strong support system, breaking the cycle of smoking addiction is possible.

So, while both smoking and drinking present their challenges, quitting smoking often requires more effort due to the daily exposure and the strength of the nicotine addiction. Yet, with determination and the right treatment, you can overcome it.

Csnt believe I'm actually going through withdrawal right now I want to shoot myself

I need a VAPE or a CIG RIGHT FUCKING NOW. IM ACTUALLY GONNA KILL MYSELF

I need some fucking nic in my blood right now I'm loosing it

hahahaha addict at 15 hahaha END ME

[grimoire-at-night]

Relapsing fucking sucks

It feels so nice to come back to my drug of choice

Yet I know I've erased all the progress I've made

I worked so hard past all the road blocks

That I willingly put back in front of myself

That quick smoke break was great

That small breath of freshly burned anxiety relief

Weights lifted off my shoulders will rest on my lungs

the fight after will be hard

I've fought it before so I know what to do

But the battle itself will not be fun
