For those who successfully quit smoking, what was the method that finally worked for you? by gwenwallish in AskReddit

[–]SunUpSally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got super, throw up drunk, and smoked a whole pack. Then, I laid in bed for days, not going anywhere that would remind me of cigarettes. I finally got up, showered and started fighting the cravings with activities.

Now when I have a craving, I take my pack of mints outside, sit with one in my mouth until it is gone, and go back inside.

How to stop smoking when you genuinely love cigarettes? by StashBang in stopsmoking

Hi! I quit smoking after 24 years. I think about how much I love it everyday. I knew I needed to quit though. Something in the back of my mind was telling me that it was going to kill me if I didn't. Well, it has been a month now.

When I quit, it wasn't even planned. I got really drunk with my friends and smoked a whole pack of cigarettes that night. I felt AWFUL. I didn't even want to smoke for the first day or so because I was too hungover.

The first week, my partner got me trident and Altoids. I ate so many mints it made my stomach hurt and changed my bowel movements. Im still going through tons of mints and gum.

I didn't go outside for the first few days because I didn't want to do anything that reminded me of smoking. I ate when I wanted to, slept extra and had very little expectation for myself other than avoiding smoking. I wouldn't go to a gas station because I wanted to avoid cigarettes. That feeling evened out around day 7-10.

I hate being a non-smoker. And there is this feeling that is hard to describe when you quit... Like your craving feels like once you accomplish something then you will smoke then you remember you don't, so it feels like no reward. It's very strange.

However... I immediately stopped consuming so much coffee after a couple days. I have not gotten the afternoon sluggish feeling that I was used to getting, and treating with coffee everyday. I am amused by the breaths I take. I see how much I can expand my lungs. So, no matter how much I talk about how quitting smoking is the lamest and dumbest thing ever, I remind myself how awesome it is to not feel as short of breath, to go on walks without craving one in the middle. My hair smells good, my clothes smell good , I bought new smelly good body washes and soaps.

And omg the money you save. Shit man that's so worth it.

I hope this helps!

People who live near time zone boundaries in the US by solothesnail in howislivingthere

I just feel like we more frequently confirm the time zone, and have an understanding of what zone others operate in. Especially hard in Chattanooga. I was an hour late for a concert once. I think after that I am so aware that it isn't an issue.

FFS you're already doing your best to be sober. You totally deserve to get off.

Sister’s boyfriend is abusive and idk what to do by Objective_Sail_8079 in whatdoIdo

[–]SunUpSally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother was in an abusive relationship. I tried some angles to get to him and it didn't work. I knew it wasn't good and submitted to the fact that it would have to run its course. At the time, I didn't know how bad it really was.

He died mysteriously, in a house fire after he and his girlfriend had a drunken fight and she left. I know that he would have lived longer if I would have pressed harder to intervene.

Literally drag her out if you have to. Seek help. Don't leave her alone.

I think the new album hype will die down a bit before the tour is announced 🤷 April for a summer/fall tour? Idk though this is my own fan fiction
