1st of all congrats to Hydra and all others who are now Non Smokers
I gave up smoking cigarettes two years ago this new years and by far consider it the best decision of my life.
When I quit smoking it felt like my head opened up and I started using all of my brain. I dont know how to describe it but it feels great. I used to think that pot was making me stupid and slow, but then I quit cigarettes and realized it was them!
The $5 every other day I save is also great... it sucks being broke and trying to scrape together enough for a pack of smokes when you coulda spent that money on some food. How many times have you been to the liquor store paying with pennies and dimes?
Here are some recommendations:
Have it in your head that smoking is nasty and disgusting. It helps you not want one. That taste is horrible and the feeling in your lungs is just nasty
For those who get tense just thinking about quitting, try this: Keep a pack with you while you are quitting. I know it sounds odd but its what I did. Whenever i felt like smoking i told myself i could have a smoke, just have it "later". Then later say whats 15 minutes more? Eventually its time to go to sleep
I did this, but after day three i tossed out the pack cause i didnt care any more.
I do smoke pot and I definitely smoked more when i quit cigs. One thing that helped was I'd smoke a blunt sometimes when i wanted a cig; I thought of it as a stoner's patch or gum I did this for like a month, and it helped calm the cravings sometimes.
I still want to smoke occasionally but know that if I ever do i'll most likely start smoking again so i don't. Even blunts are gross to me now.
Anyways keep it up all you non smokers. Never give in!
