Reply to [Discussion] Give Suggestions to Quit Smoking. by worldofjaved

Been smoking for 4 years, now it's more than 2 years since I quit. What worked for me might work for you:

Make a list of Cons and Cons for smoking(could be weed also):

Cons could be :

  • Expensive
  • Smell on clothes (or hands) ...

On the othe hand, the Pros should be listed like this(stay with me, even though it might seem cringe a lil bit LOL):

*Breathing- Once I'll quit smoking my breathing will become lighter and healthier.

*Smelling - Once I'll smoke I will enjoy the good smell of food, perfumes (and otger good smelling stuff)

*Eating - Once I'll quit smoking, I'll enjoy eating with the need of smoking, my enjoyment will increase...

The trick is that every Pro could be listed as con and vice versa. But keep telling yourself the benefits you'll earn once you quit smoking. There are tons of reasons you should stop smoking, you need to find yours.

Every now and then, read this list and remember why you started to resist to this smoking impulse, and you will stop, have faith.

I often say something like this to my one friend who isn't kind to herself:

"If someone walked in here talking to you like you talk to yourself, I'd kick their ass, because that person is a total dick."

Reply to [text] I think i might finally do it by Oizyxx

Great! You're right - it's never too late to do something you felt held back from as a child. It can be incredibly rewarding to be able to re-experience something you haven't in years. I'm glad you're inspired to find the book and make it happen.

Oof, that’s a real tough one because of how widely and relentlessly alcohol is woven into every corner of society. I’ve never had a problem with booze, personally, but I do know addiction. And in my experience, professional help is paramount in overcoming/learning to navigate the nuances of addiction.

I believe in you!
