Speaking through experience? How long ago did you quit? How much were you drinking a day and for how long?
It isn't that cookie cutter. I loved smoking. Husband's dad and brother died of smoking related Cancer so when I got breast cancer it was a bit of a wake up being if I popped my clogs he'd lose a 3rd loved one that could have been prevented. All through flying back and forth to the UK to look after my dying mother who had brain Cancer and step dad I carried on smoking 20 a day but when the realisation hits as to how damn selfish it is to our loved ones is when I stopped. I've had 3 cigs since for varying reasons but knew it wasn't a forever thing again and it was years ago.
I'm simply saying that if you're at a place where you are rationalizing it at all, it's going to be a tough fight. Quitting for empathetic reasons over self determination is likely ever harder!
Did you cold turkey? Before the brother in law and mum stuff I managed 2 months with patches but ended up such a thunder c word husband bought me a pack and it all kicked off again.
Another thread another me, me, me, i, i, i. Dont you get tired of yourself? Because i am.
No i used patches and a nicotine inhaler to get over that 3 month hurdle, and then weened off them and never looked back. Been about 5 years now. Can't remember having a craving at all. Couple of children will put a lot of things in clearer perspective, which had me pretty upset with myself. Wish I'd never started obviously (hello 17 year old self) but it's been a great change for the health and pocket book since quitting. Highly recommended lol!
You're all the better for it, so congratulations. I think my last one I pinched off a woman at Heathrow before checking in after an incredibly tumultuous trip. I kinda get the craving in a sense of if something went badly or well my reaction was to go outside and smoke but don't get the physical need. I think it would burn my lungs.
Mate, how many threads are you going to stalk me in? Block me. Far easier than your menstrual whining.
I used to be quite the specimen in my prime until a motorcycle wreck left me with superficial and non superficial injuries to one of my forearms so I cant work out like I would love to and sadly Im an all or nothing person. If I cant be the greek god I used to be, fuck it all together.
Easy ?? lol. Nope. It can be done but it isn’t easy.
After 6 months in Korea, I was done in from drinking. Just a young kid in a far away place with too many opportunities to mess up.
