Much of that was spent paired up with a smoker that was unwilling to smoke outside the home, so, it was a bit hard to do that, but now that it's just me here now... and my kids of course, I"m up to 16 hours, 35 minutes, 44 seconds smober. I have also saved $5.27 , and have neglected to smoke 17 cigarettes. I've also awarded myself with an extra hour of my life. So proud, I'm doing so much better than ever. I crave, and I want so bad... but, I'm doing this for my little ones, and myself of course. ]]> Nicotine/Smoking LostInTheWorld http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/nicotine-smoking/188684-im-doing-now.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/nicotine-smoking/187324-addicted.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:50:15 GMT I had no idea there was a forum for smoking. I keep finding such interesting things every day on this site...
I have been currently on the "quitting drinking" newcomer forum at the present time.
But I have smoked, and have since I was 10, (that seems so young), only reason why I started was because my mother said "Do as I say, not as I do" thing.
To go in a positive attitude, I smoked menthols for 13 years, I switched to regulars, and I quit smoking cigarettes and went to regular small filtered cigars, I used to smoke about a pack a day, more if I drank... now with these if I drink I smoke about quarter-half a pack a day. If I dont drink I only smoke about 3-4 a day. They get your fill I tell you what.. I smoke the swisher little cigars they are called. I have quit twice for a 11-12 month period, When I found out I was pregnant and breastfeeding. Otherwise I picked them right back up.
I can quit like nothing, So am I really addicted or bored? They dont taste like the most wonderful thing I've ever had. I can go all day with just a few... Or I can smoke a pack... I think I like it more than *I like it*. But I try and quit now and it just makes me angry.
I tried to upload the pack of reasons why to quit in the annoucements on this section, but dial up, it threw me off the internet. I know the health risks of smoking, I had pneumonia for a total of 6 months last year due to I wouldn't quit (especially menthol where it paralizes your cilia in your lungs), But I would love to quit. I'd like to think of one of those people that smoke when they drink. Not all the time. I just get so bored. Anyone smoke purely just because your bored? Does this mean your addicted when you cant go buy a buy a pack and get upset? However, if your pregnant, or on vacation you have no desire to smoke?

Thank you,
