Smoke Free Zone?

Feb 27, 2009 13:30

OK, so I'm halfway through day three of HELL um, being smoke-free.

Anyone know how long it will take till I stop thinking about smoking every second of the day?

About 2 years.

Only took me about one year for EVERY SECOND. Tho it's been five for me and it's still several times per day.

I found the best thing is to tie some REALLY horrible punishment to having a smoke. For me it was Mrs. Weer'd getting pissed at me. No matter how bad I felt, I knew I'd feel worse if I smoked!

Maybe you can have a smoke, but you need to put the butt out on the back of your hand?

Good luck buddy! It's a shitty journey, but well worth it!

I've known people who get over it much faster. It really depends on you, your willpower, etc.

It depends. Took me three, and I still occasionally think about it.

One thing that helped me was chewing gum. It meant I had something for my mouth to do when I wasn't eating or talking (I would occasionally just leave the cig in my mouth, even when it wasn't lit).

Until you substitute the addiction for something else.
