I packed up properly around 10 years ago. I switched to rollies which are rank so that pushed me in the right direction. I smoke a bit of weed in a pipe occasionally now, but that's it. Once a week maybe, sometimes not at all.
That was why they banned smoking in pubs Probably just order the drinks and go outside with them when they reopen in the summer
So the job of the day was this. Quite happy with it The laptop doesn't live there. Just used it for the lights. As I fogot to buy a usb plug. Buddha kneeling towards the light etc. I'm kinda chuffed with it. Now just wait for my new picture to arrive
Miss it is probably not the word I'd use. It's still addictive. I compensate for it with sugar items, such as sweets, chocolate. I'm lucky in the sense I've never been overweight, otherwise I'd be better off smoking again, because you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. The addiction will defo kick in once I'm in a pub garden again, then the controlling factor will be my mood. We all know it's a killer, and the government health warnings have never really conquered the problem, because we just ignore them, no matter how big they are on the packet. The only really controlling factor is price, but I got round that through import.
Yup. Most effective measure I ever found for giving up smoking is self banning it indoors. Because then if I did want a smoke, I had to go outside, and this time of year it can be wet and cold, so then I think I can't be arsed.
Good tactic. When I was giving up, I used to make it harder for myself (i.e making roll ups) just more hassle than picking up a ***. I then used to put the baccy in a box on the top shelf of a bookcase, so it was another hassle to actually get it down, out of the box, then roll one up. Each stage makes you think, do I really want a smoke that bad ? Apart from when you've had a beer of course and then it's a no brainer
Something I've read that's really resonated with me is the idea that you're not really giving up anything. What does it actually give you? Losing nothing and gaining loads by stopping.
I think another aspect is the saying 'I'm giving up' because people then just constantly ask you how are you doing. Hence making you think about what you are supposed to be giving up. Also with someone like me, it's got to be because I want to do it, not because someone wants or more so as I see it, is telling me to give up....because then I won't.
Years ago when I use to drive a lot, I changed to rollies to slow my ability to smoke down. The problem was I soon learned how to roll them while driving and ended up smoking more.
Agree about the doing for yourself bit, big believer in that. I also like to talk about it a lot as a reminder, weird but my way of dealing with it. If you ever see me making multiple jokes about cocaine on here then it's probably cos I fancy taking some
We can all do anything if we really want to. I remember October. Problem being, it's easy to slip back into old ways.
Britain's Got Talent will not take place in 2021, due to the coronavirus pandemic. what a ****ing shame.
