I used to smoke like a fiend

I’m just remembering my smoking days. I was really fiendish. I need to find a substitute behavior that is not so harmful but satisfies my aggressive feelings.

Smoke hemp flower

That sounds like it would make me sick. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I quit. It’s just that I have to adjust.

A little known fact about fiends is they actually prefer smoking pipes instead of cigarettes.

I didn’t like the plastic of a pipe but my Dad smoked one.

Lol, this is relatable. I’m controlling it though so I 'm not a fiend of any sort. It’s reducing, slowly but surely. Not sure if I should quit altogether though.

I quit gradually. When I got it down to a half a cigarette a day and then just a few puffs a day, it was no big deal to quit entirely. I don’t even like the idea of smoking anymore. It was just something to do hand to mouth and to soothe some of the pains of life.

you do miss having something to do, don’t you?

in an above post, there’s feeling for replacing it with something. idk, I feel I’ll just keep it because life of sz’ the future isn’t promising is it! :confused: dunno if I’ll beat the nicotine

Me too
Like I was trying to cause death to myself as quickly as possible

I took up more internet than is reasonable and shopping obsession

I’m working on relaxing and, of course, meds help.

What are you doing to try to relax
I find it impossible
I don’t know how to
Sounds crazy but I’ve done loads of relaxing stuff over the years
But genuinely I need to focus on that 100%
Because it’s ridiculous

I used to be a chain smoker.
At least 2 packs a day.

Quit cold turkey years ago.

concentration to stop my shaking. And recognizing pain due to just being tense.

Why are you shaking ?

Age? Meds? Fear? Habit? For Attention? Because I’m afraid to enjoy life.
