My Last Cigarette!

[Natalinasmpf]

TIme to use doublethink, Winston.

You don't HAVE a craving.

You DON'T. Simply because the Party says so. It is the truth. Its not existing. You don't have a craving, so there's no need.

There ISN'T. DOUBLETHINK ABOUT IT.

Or use some other mind over matter principle.

Pekka, get rid of your open pack. It is your invitation to fail. If you do not destroy your cigarettes, you have not truly made a commitment to quitting, only to seeing how long you last before failure.

Make a real commitment.

[Winston]

Well, after 16 hours I can now definitely say that this is no fun anymore.

I'm going to bed soon. At least there's a chance I might die in my sleep.

I never plan on starting smoking or drinking. It's ****ing stupid.

Damn this thread! I'm sure it is responsible for that cigarette factory dream I had last night. How you can make cigarettes from a bucket of cud, I'll never know.

And you want to go to school in the UK? Good luck with that...

I stopped smoking a couple months back, but then some friends came in for the week who smoked and I said to myself "I'll get one pack to be social and not smoke anymore after that...". Needless to say, I started smoking again, but I plan on quitting after today because I'll be visiting my girlfriends parents (who don't approve of smoking), so that will make the first week rather easy.

But after that, I'll be in your guys' boat. So I guess you can count me in too.

Good luck to you all.

BTW, here's my poison of choice (although this box looks different than the Canadian version). Post a picture of yours.

Winston, I feel for you my friend. Try to go sleep. I can't sleep for some reason. I haven't smoked, but I can't sleep. I have some craving, but it's not overcoming me, but it's stronger than earlier.

[Pekka]

One thing about the US is pretty cool, the general attitude about smoking not being cool. Of course there are people who think it is, but there's a negative feeling to it. In here, no one cares, and sometimes if you don't smoke, you're weird. Everyone says 'it's good that you don't smoke, it's bad for you', and then they go smoking and let you party with yourself .

Check out how Canadian packs look. We go for the shock factor here:



Some of them are actually pretty funny.

[Winston]

Hang in there Pekka.

I would recommend going to a chemist tomorrow and get hold of some patches to use, because they really take the top off the craving.

If I wasn't wearing one right know, I know I'd have exactly two options, either somehow get a cigarette lit up within 10 minutes, or kill myself.

I plan on using the big patches for ~2 weeks, then the medium ones for 3 weeks, and the small ones 3 weeks, then I'm on my own. But you may be able to make do with the medium or small ones. Ask at the chemist. Those patches could be the best purchase you'll ever make.

[Pekka]

Hmm I'll have to see those.. I think I can go to sleep now. I'll be back here suffering tomorrow, Day 2 . Don't you quit either now! It's started already, so you have to continue too.

Zero, right. I have a pack, open pack with me. Day 1 is now done. But I have one pack with me, because you know, I hate more that I don't have smokes, than that I do but I just don't smoke them. I want to know that when ever I feel like it, I can smoke. It's like when I buy booze, I always buy too much, so I can't drink it all, because it pisses you off when you run out of drinks, even though you wouldn't drink anymore. I want to know that there is taht possibility.

I already tried "Buy a pack and carry it around as a symbol of being the last pack of cigarette i ever bought" strategy.

what happened to that pack was that it was smoked. and it was smoked well.

(We put the tobacco in some good european **** )

So no one uses the chili idea?

Westerners and their intolerant taste buds...

Here's a little motivation

Something to think about:

That roasted steak looks tasty. Yum!

Now all I need is some sambal chilli sauce to go with it.
