When a person withdraws from a drug that causes physical dependence, they have what is called abstinence syndrome. If you watch the show Intervention you may know what some of the symptoms are. Not pleasant to say the least.

One symptom is “gooseflesh” and that is where the term cold turkey came from. Another symptom is kicking movements because of the muscle pain and spasms, hence the term “kicking the habit.”

And now you know.

I know this person and it does not matter what the situation is, it is never their fault. Said person has the most negative attitude of anyone I have ever met. Now, I know that we all have our days and life gets stressful, but you have got to roll with the punches! I cannot imagine never owning up to anything I have done wrong, constantly blaming every one else, and just being a total downer ALL the freakin’ time. It seems like this person was a little coddled throughout life and now is ill- equipped to deal with and sort of adversity. I dunno. Kind of sad. I guess some folks just do not know how to deal with stress or bad days.

Honestly, just move on with it. Tomorrow is a new day, right?

That is all that I have to say.
