I have no PTSD, but I recently lost my job, and while I am looking for another one I decided to use the time off in order to stop smoking, so far it's been a bit more than 3 weeks, and I think it's been the period I've been playing the most videogames since high school, it is really useful to overcome temporary cravings by doing something that doesn't require much mental efforts but still keeps the mind busy to don't think about smoking, every day I am suffering less and less, and I think without videogames it would have been much harder.
Keep in mind, I'm 37 years old and have smoked since I was 13
- dbrueck 2y agoThis is so cool! From one random internet person to another: you can do it!
- lnxg33k1 2y agoThank you!
- grashalm 2y agoThat is a great strategy. It gets easier over time though. My tipp is to still join smoking friends, but just don't smoke. Makes you robust against the temptation longer term.
- beezlewax 2y agoYou should probably avoid other smokers in early stages though
- lnxg33k1 2y agoI'm in Italy right now, and it's not really possible, here everyone smokes, I am trying now to stay away from society, but went for a walk saturday and in the bar I usually go, you can even smoke inside (it's a little underground bar hidden from law/society)
