Right now I'm quitting gaming, but I also quit smoking only recently. I did it because it wasn't good for my finances, but I must also admit it wasn't very good for my health. After I had decided to quit, I still let myself smoke every once in a while when I was particularly happy or stressed. Generally, I still liked tobacco smoke, I still liked dark pubs where vision was impaired due to smoke.
Yesterday, contrary to my prior plans, I went out for a couple of beers with some friends I like, of which only one girl was smoking, and only a few cigarettes throughout the whole evening (back in my smoking days, social drinking events had always been a good reason to smoke like a volcano). Today I woke up feeling crappy, and it was due to my hair and yesterday's clothes still smelling a bit like smoke. I was never fond of yesterday's smoke, but it didn't bother me so much - now there's been a difference made in the universe. So from today I don't really feel like a smoker anymore, and I think it's both a good thing and a bad thing.
Of course I still support smokers as a discriminated group.
Today I'm feeling generous, there will be two pieces of wisdom connected to the subject:
"Quitting smoking is really easy, I did it like a hundred times"
If you smoke after sex, you're doing it too fast.
I've been smoking for about 6 months, but I'm not really worried. I still get that buzz after a cigarette (not to mention bowl movements), but I really have no intention of becoming addicted.
ReplyDeletewhy on earth would not felling like smoking be bad for you lol
ReplyDeleteoh and freek if you have been smoking for 6 months regularly your probably addicted D:
I've never seen the point in smoking, but to each, their own.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree, smokers do get too much hate, I mean they know its bad for them, they don't have to be told by random strangers and stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut congrats on quitting!!! That must have been really hard.
Quitting gamings is harder than quitting smoking!
ReplyDeletequitting smoking was surpisingly easy for me..
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteI agree the last sentence ^^
Hard for me too understand, I don't smoke. :D
ReplyDeleteI tried quitting in the beginning of the year. I noticed saved lots of money. My biggest hurdle is when I drink. I always have this urge to smoke, and like you I chain smoke when I drink.
ReplyDeleteGood luck man, for me it's the most difficult thing I've tried to quit. I currently have two left and I'm going to quit this time for good, after four years and multiple attempts. Luckily for me I haven't drank in two years so that won't be a problem. And Freek, I know you won't listen to me, but that is almost always how it starts. Quit now while it is still relatively easy.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to quit recently as well. I figure ten years is long enough. Good luck.
