Addiction: What to do About it

I must admit that I am addicted to nicotine(who isn't these days?) and caffeine(again, who isn't these days?). At first I thought that addiction was unDude, and to some people it is, but nobody has the right to tell you that what you should or shouldn't do, even if it has to do with addiction. Your addictions are personal to you, so if you don't see a need to quit your habits, then who are we to say you are Dude or unDude?

I love smoking, a little too much I might add. I would like to consume less caffeine, but the withdrawals are off the charts for even sodas and tobacco cigarettes! I have no support for them in my area, except for a smoking clinic. My appointment got canceled and I never tried to get back into the smoking clinic. Bummer... 

Don't feel ashamed of your addictions, dude. You can't always control your cravings. The Dude once said "Smoke'em if you got'em". If you want to get help, then by all means, man, get help! If not, then so be it, man.
