Hmm, besides being anecdotal, a sentence near the end seems to belie the truth:

  Did I become addicted to "the bag"? Hell no. A hit now and then would take 
  the edge off, as needed, and a phone call to my friend would do the rest.
I'm not saying that he's addicted, just that his "cure" may not be as magical as first thought.

Hey, but to each his own.

http://lovelornprogrammer.blogspot.com/ Thoroughly depressing to read his other posts. The gist of it: he fell hard for some woman he chatted with online.

Blog post N: "Sending Flowers when you don't know her address"

Blog post N+1: "Flowers can Backfire"

Classic.

"Putting two and two together, I hypothesized that breathing nitrous oxide might "break the vicious cycle" of pining, by breaking the addiction pathway in the part of my brain responsible for pining."

Riiiight... I think it might be more complicated than adding two and two. But there is always the placebo effect.

WTF!? I don't mean to be an insensitive dick, but for the love of God, please do not follow this guy's advice. Instead of huffing, go out and get some fresh pussy asap. Surround yourself with other people, especially girls. Be confident, despite your low self esteem and don't tell them you just got dumped or anything about your ex. Meet and approach as many women as possible. Don't act pathetic or shy and don't be afraid of rejection. You can't hit a home run if you never swing. Babe Ruth's batting average was .342, do the math. Realize that if this chick shit on you, she did you a favor by breaking up with you. There are a gazillion fish in the sea and you gotta go fishing A LOT to find the best one for you. When you find the right woman, it is amazing and, if you treat her right, she won't shit on you. If/when she does, realize that she wasn't the one and start over. STOP HUFFING, IDIOT.
