and also I WANT TO SMOKE. what is wrong with me?! I am clearly defective. I can't get rid of it. Somehow I think whining about it here will make it go away. It is absurdly strong. I went into the convenience store tonight and they might as well have had naked supermodels lined up at the counter making signals becoming me to them. (I'd have picked the cigarettes) I want to freaking SMOKE god damnit. okayI'mdonefornow.
I'm just going to quote something you've said to me many times, and then run and hide. There is nothing wrong with you!

Cravings happen, it's all part of addiction.

I really want to go to this convenience store. I have a craving for naked supermodels.

@Walker I've been having massive cravings the past couple of days also. fuck. i've been trying to think about how much my breathing has improved and skin and other things but still craving massively. fuck. not sure i'll make it.
You really gotta stick it out.
I feel like mine is curbing off now..or rather I've put a thought to WHY and having that makes it feel more tolerable. I think I'm possibly a bit manic and that would explain why I want to smoke. (feels speedy - amphetamine high - want to smoke)

Jesus, why don't you and @Witty_Sarcasm get Tshirts that say "funsucker" and "buzzkill". You can choose which is which.
I have COPD ... the fun and buzz quickly fades in light of that. It was caused by a chemical I worked with when I was in the printing industry, but smoking doesn't help. God I need to quit. Think of your health or your girlfriend, whichever has the most influence (I'm thinking it's the 2nd one). Speaking of buzz ... I need one of those.

Yep that's why I won't let Dodge smoke especially...because he's already sick. And yeah, I want to help you break away from the need for cigarettes...that's why I keep saying no smoking. :P I'm not that much of a buzzkill, haha. My mom would say the same because I won't let her drink, but again that's to keep her healthy.

its entirely false that a few cigs a day is nothing. that is bullshit. a few cigs a month maybe. a few cigs a year yeah thats nothing. but a few cigs a day is still pretty deadly.
I meant like, 1 to 3 a day.

Of couse it's better without. But if you take into account all the other non-healthy aspects of life - living in a smoggy city, being stressed, not eating 100% healthy, not getting enough sleep etc. etc. etc., I think it's barely worth a mention. And looking at it with a glass half full perspective, 3 a day are better than 20 a day.

Still I am a promoter of alternatives since I'm glad I could replace even those few a days with vaping.

there's a reason one of the main questions on insurance is if you smoke. There's many studies that show a few a day is pretty much as dangerous as a pack a day.

I smoked 50 years and have severe copd because of it I wish I quit earlier. I don't want peoples sympathy I want people to look at me and decide that isn't for me and quit smoking, just quit before you're the one explaining your copd, cancer etc. to people to get them to quit. 1 cig or 1 carton a day same thing just quit.

that was my last obstacle before quitting coffee and a cig. every once in a while I still reach for a cig after 9 months isn't that crazy

That's good because I know one can turn into many. That's like my mom with drinking, so even though she wants to drink for her birthday, I won't let her.

So have made it to Day 16...managed to do a stressful phone call without a cigarette yesterday just ate some chocolate instead-not good I know but better than smoking...the desire to smoke hasn't gone away but know that I don't want the last 16 days to be in vain...
