I'm still smoking at the moment.
I've quit for years and started again.
It's the push and pull .. the need and that satiation that I find so satisfying, and to a certain extent it's that rhythm I find ultimately attractive.
The slow build up of a hunger, before you end it with a delicious meal. The relaxing bath after a 30 mile hike. The 10 hour sleep after a stressful few days running on caffeine. The buzz of endorphins after breaking through the pain barrier on a run.
Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a junky at heart. But I would like to stop smoking.
- Torwald 5y agoAllen Carr's Easy way out. It's a book. He explains the mind hack that smoking is. Once you grok that, quitting is easy.
- amatic 5y agoI quit smoking with Carr too, some half dozen times. It would last for a few months, then I would start again after a few beers. The latest trick, good for two years now, is using nicotine-free rolling herbs (edit: things they give as filler to roll your joints, a mix of things like papaya leaves, tea, etc)
