Really wanting a cigarette right now...girlfriend's gone gambling again

If she gets to do what she wants why can’t I? I really miss smoking. I am about to go get a pack or two…I don’t want to…I’ve been quit over three months now. sad I can’t get away from the cravings…maybe I should buy some nicotine gum?

Yes, buy some more gum. Don’t let the sneaky cigarettes trick you.

I think you should buy some nicotine gum or some patches. :slight_smile: Or an e-cigarette.

Lie down, take a shower, listen to music, go for a walk, just distract yourself from buying cigarettes @jukebox.

I don’t have smoking addiction. I had a bad porn addiction that’s far less severe and far less intense. so there’s not much advice I can give.

I stopped watching porn around mid Oct. been about 4 months. I’m very proud of myself. If I act excessively awkward, I can’t use porn as a scapegoat anymore. porn really affected the way I viewed things, and once I stopped I felt a lot more healthier, mind-wise. porn’s okay, but I over-consume it and, at times, tried to re-enact it in my real life. was getting me into too much trouble.

I’m not just tobacco free; I am also nicotine free.

I save money! My clothes don’t stink of smoke anymore.

Good job, @jukebox! Smoking is a hard thing to give up. Glad you are doing well with it.

Giving up smoking’s easy I’ve done it many many many times.

Remember to breathe.

Smoking’s much the same as the anxiety breathing exercise. Breathe in for a few seconds, hold, breathe out slowly much the same as taking a drag.

Hope things work out for you. In my thoughts.
