A question for you all. Just wondering about some of the guilty pleasures you have/had before or after becoming and EMT. Things like smoking cigarettes, marajuana, drinking etc. How do people in this line of work feel about this?
 
From what I can tell...a large number of EMS, FD and PD smoke, drink and party pretty hardy. In fact, it seems the % of folks who induldge is much higher than in other professions. I know many who quit but never because he/she felt guilty. More for health reasons.
 
Just a bit of advice, do NOT admit to illegal activities on the internet, that is just plain stupid, and smoking pot is in fact ILLEGAL. As is UNDERAGE drinking.
 
I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. The only drinks I have had have been tiny sips of wine when I was younger with my parents. I just don't really have any interest in alcohol, so it's not a guilty pleasure. Same goes for smoking and drugs.

My guilty pleasure is "Grey's Anatomy" (every once in a while) and "Trauma." :ph34r:

Go ahead. Judge me! :P

Who said anything about UNDERAGE drinking? No one is admitting to anything here.
 
+1000 Sasha.......

None of that stuff for me. I really don't know how anyone in EMS can smoke, drink, or use. Personally, all the calls I have run on with drunks, ODs, Smoking caused COPD and Cancer, you name it, has just cemented my descion to not smoke, drink, or use drugs.

About as guilty as I get is chocolate.......dark only. None of that sissy milk chocolate stuff.

Interesting. Why do you think that may be?
 
I will admit that I smoke cigarettes but only like ten a day. My main guilty pleasure is hats. I buy a new one each week it seems lol.
 
I will admit to being a Colombian Cocaine druglord in a former life. I was reincarnated as a medic. :rolleyes:

I've noticed the same thing. I suspect it's a combination of immaturity and not knowing how to handle stress in other ways.

Personally, I read bad novels and roam the internet...

Probably healthier than eating tons of food.

... or it would be if I were cool enough for internet porn. I meant places like this. :P
 
I like to read everynow and then, mostly just James Patterson books. I can go through them like candy. :P

And then of course I love to shop, not exactly for me though. I love to go to the tack store and just buy things I don't necissarily need but like what it is. Went to the tack store not too long ago and got a new set of spurs, helmet, saddle pads, and polo wraps. And then I bought a saddle not too long ago either as well as a western saddle pad, some SMB boots, bell boots and new bit and headstall. I'll pick up some halters every now and then. I have probably 10 halters for 2 horses. :ph34r: I won some and bought some though.

I also like the either take off on the horse and just go wherever I want to. Or go by foot. I just love to be outside.

And of course I love to talk too
 
Party on occasion, a lot less than I did..
 
Sudoku is evil.
