Smoking...

[Kevin Greene]

UGH...Day 3....the end of day 3 is what got me both times..I got my husband to quit with me at the end of day 3...by the end of the night .I was crying.."i want to smoke soooo bad" I was already half lit..so that didn't help either :). I kept saying "if you'd quit it would make it so much easier!"...so he walked to the bathroom and tossed his cigs in the toilet. Now I don't have to live with a smoker and I attribute a lot of my success to his quitting with me as well.

 

...I don't want to see day 3 again...that's what I keep telling myself when I find myself wanting to have "just one"...

 

that....and realizing just how fuging BAD you reek after smoking...Most of my friends smoke..so they hot box the poo before getting in our car and it makes me gag...it's embarrassing...I can't believe I used to smell like that.

 

We really have only one smoker in our entire golf buddy circle.

But he'll smoke right until entering a car. 

He'll puff, exhale and take a seat closing the door, meanwhile half his lung capacity spews tobacco smoke his next 3 or 4 breaths.

It's enough to knock a buzzard off a shyt wagon.

From the title I thought this might of been the pot thread I had been waiting for.

I dont know if this will help you OP. I've never been a smoker. Ive smoked maybe a handful of cigarettes at parties when I got poo faced and I didn't care. All of my close friends have some how fallen into smoking for reasons I don't know why.

 

But one thing that has always turned me away was not only photos of black lungs or throat cancer victims. It was just the thought of what cigarette smoke would do to my body in the moment and the damage it causes at the molecular level. How carcinogens screw with your DNA, increase the likely hood of genetic errors that were never meant to be in your body, thus causing cancer or possibly making your offspring have a hole in it's heart if not worse. Nature did not design your body to be intentionally flawed.

I was behind this woman today and she was puff puffin' away in her car....allllll fine and dandy...until I noticed that there were 2 kids in the back

 

WTF?

 

As an adult, you have the right to smoke ..you know what it does, you know the consequences..but smoking with kids in the back?? ...that's truly fuged up..

so for me it started out just as random drunk cigarettes in undergrad, then it turned into the morning after having one with my buddies, then it was after a big meal- go outside and enjoy a smoke. before I knew it I was smoking daily and was in denial that I was addicted to cigarettes. The 12th of September will mark two months without a single smoke of any kind. 

 

this is the first time I've really admitted this to anyone outside of my gf, my friends knew but didn't really say anything. 

 

Lately I've been really craving one, what are your go to tips for telling yourself you don't need a cig?

I started at 15 and was smoking 2 packs a day when I quit cold turkey. I bought a new box top pack, dunked the tips of the filters in a toilet after I pissed a little in it. When I got the urge, I couldn't bring myself to smoke one of those. I kept that pack for about a month, then threw it away. Haven't picked one up in 15 years. It was a little extreme, but highly effective when I was battling cravings. I had tried to quit at least a dozen times prior.
