About smoking cigarettes

If I didn’t smoke cigarettes I would have committed suicide. I can tell, and I know it without a doubt.

Oh, not me. I just prefer the euphoric feeling about them. That and despite my current nutritious lifestyle, and being a fairly healthy asexual person who sometimes goes for long walks (or as I prefer to call it with good humour “roams around like a dinosaur”) I have come to the conclusion that I would prefer to die before the only person I have had sexual relations with, that and for some reason, it feels like I can feel it when that person is having sexual relations with others. Thus, I smoke often so as not to focus on that aspect of life. Of course, all that is part of the symptoms and a delusion, there is no telepathy or psychic connection. Psyche being the soul and all, heh. Anyhow, I can relate to your thoughts, Jake. Matter of fact, if your online handle was Jeff, I might just choose to go out for another smoke right now. Odds are I will anyhow. Cheer up, Jake. We only live once, after all.

I recently quit smoking for 9 months. I felt good physically but I felt bad mentally. I’m going to quit again as soon as I get my own place and get away from the smokers. It’s just too hard to not smoke when you’re around someone who smokes.

A valid point about smoking cigarettes. Indeed, around people who smoke, smoking is seemingly normal. I spent some months this year as well as last not smoking and I found i’d sob like a little girl about twice as often as I do now quietly when I find some alone time in my room. :grin:

I tried vaping as a replacement, but just wasn’t the same. Someday, I need to quit too.

When I quit my allergies were so much better. And my lungs felt better.

I’m sorry. Maybe it will last next time you quit.

I quit smoking for about 30 minutes or so half an hour ago.
