The woman in my local shop asked me if I wanted my usual brand of cigs ...........how I didn't say yes is anones guess I'm taking solace in Blackcurrant&Liqorice sweets, Airwaves chewing gum and lots of coffee. It's amazing (well for me anyway) what to do to distract yourself from the thought of a cig............this morning I did the hoovering and it didn't even need doing! .............. I must be going mad |

Just a reminder of what non smokers might think about cigerette smoke. Ugh! That nasty, stinking stuff! Clouds of fowl, dusty car exhust type of air, coming from someones mouth! Ewww! Get me out of here! Whenever they light that hateful "burning stick", the white and yellow gagging smoke spirals up right to my nostrils, and burns up my nose in an overwhelming cloud of dusty polluted, acrid exhust. I think I'll just have to leave, I like this person, but I can't bear that nostril burning smoke!

It's really hard to explain to a non-smoker what it is about tabs. But once you're hooked, giving up is like not being allowed to eat. I'm sure it carves out its own little receptor in your brain so that you'll never feel whole again. Actually, not entirely unlike Frodo when he was back home but going about fingering Arwen's gem (who wouldn't?).
However, that'll pass. Onwards and upwards. On my 75th birthday I'm going to make a massive Camberwell Carrot consisting of tobacco salvaged from the douts of a hundred Woodbines. If we're all still around I'll set up a web cam (or web -virtua brain dump) and you can experience my brain exploding and see what you've been missing. Sorry, think I'm getting delirious. |

But Coney - at least you had the willpower to decline the cigarettes. Dunadan -virtual brain dumps. That would be scary. I don't know if you've seen this movie - but it's the last one Natalie Wood made (she died (was killed?) in the middle of making it. Brainstorm is a cool movie. Quote:

Why anyone would want to stop drinking is beyond my comprehension.

Good! I used to smoke but never addicted like my husband. When I finally quit, it was liberateing to get away from...Do I have some, do I have fire, Do I need to buy more, is this a good time to have one, will anyone here be grossed out if I have one. It's so wonderful just to breathe air and leave it at that! Go Coney!

(although I do only drink on a Friday or Saturday night) Thanks for the support Liz (and others) My taste buds are returning .......... if this carries on I'll have to downgrade my favourite curry from a Madras to a Bhuna Your right Liz.......the constant panic for a supply of nicotine/smoking equipment is terrible.......the chore of having to pop to the shop 2/3 times a day is something I'm certainly not missing (I never bought cigs in bulk......if I had 100 cigs in the house I would have smoked 100 in a day ) Dunadan. How's it going with you? |

I think I might check into a membership in the health club (Gym) in our town. If my husband had something else he could obsess over, he might be able to try again. If he could focus on exercise and diet, health and strength, and stuff like that, he could let this thing go. Worth a try.

Also an idea might be to drag him to places that do not allow smoking.............movies, theatre, endless xmas shopping at the mall etc.................not really a solution but if he spends 2/3+ hours in a non-smoking environment then for 2/3+ hours he is not smoking |

Great to hear you're going strong, Coney. I have to confess to a slight derailment on Saturday night (I plead intoxication), but it was only one puff on someone else's tab.
I have flagellated myself continuously since. It definitely made it more difficult on Sunday and Monday, but today I feel better again. And yes, it's great to be liberated from all the nonsense associated with losing your lighter and going to the shops at 2am. I also find exercise a great help. Like banging your head against a brick wall, it feels great when you stop. Also, if there's something which totally absorbs you (I sometimes get it when writing or drawing), make more time for it as it makes you completely forget about smoking. Long, hot baths are great too (ever tried smoking in the bath? I have and it's gross). Last edited by Dunadan : 11-19-2002 at 07:58 AM. |

Any ideas to help me stop my teenage friend from smoking. She's underage so its illegal anyway and she's ruining her singing voice. She's doing it because she says everyone in her year is and she wants to fit in. I've told her its stupid trying to kill yourself to be popular but she won't listen! What can I do to convince her she's ruining her career? Any help would be appreciated Mx

Its not as easy as that!
I gave up smoking when i passed my driving test, i needed to, i couldn't of afforded the petrol otherwise, petrol in the u.k is well expensive, unlike our american cousins(you guys are so lucky!)sorry that is different subject but my point being is that you need to set yourself an aim , a reason to stop!
