Smoking

[Blue warrior]

I’m 11 weeks without, but the craving is not going away.
Help, please.

Change your thoughts from I feel like I’m giving something up to I decided I didn’t want to smoke anymore worked for me it’s all psychological.

If alcohol didn’t make you crave nicotine so much, it would be a piece of piss.

If I ever give up drinking, I know I’d also be able to knock nicotine on the head easy.

I gave up, for good, in the summer of ‘99. That New Years Eve, bringing in the new millennium, I was in the village pub with my sister and her husband who had come over for the night. When midnight struck, I finally caved and lit up one of her Silk Cut, I gagged on it immediately. I don’t know what caused that, as I’d been a Marlboro and Camel smoker for years, but it just hit my throat and almost made me throw up. Never had the slightest inclination to have one since. Funnily enough, I sometimes have dreams about being a smoker and enjoying it. Weird.
Before that, I must’ve tried and failed a good handful of times. Keep trying, you never now when it’ll finally stick, or how.

Help, please.

It will slowly fade, the craving doesn't last forever.
Be determined, don't give in.
I found it hard but succeeded.

I know the pain of this so i decided to knock drinking on the head same time as I quit smoking. For me I associated smoking with drinking.

They allow smoking in bars in Germany as long as they’re not serving food. For me, it was always part and parcel of being in a pub but, then again, Roy Castle died of lung cancer despite never smoking in his life. He played trumpet in bars where people smoked all night.

And had a brass pipe stuck in his gob most of his life..

I was in bed with a girl one night and she said “I only smoke because it helps me stay slim.” I gave her an absolute bollocking and she thanked me. It’s heartbreaking that so many girls are body conscious like that. My last three girls have all smoked.

On a side note, why is vaping as bad as cigarettes? I’ve not really thought about what’s in them.

Have you tried KY to reduce friction?
