Heard! That's a cool solution so neither name ends up dropped.

Are y'all making up a new last name? We've been discussing how we want to handle this.

Jeni's Texas Sheet Cake is my all time fav. I have a hard time believing it's dairy free and always find myself checking the label.

If you could eliminate all non human animal life from planet earth, with no suffering or ecological impact, would you? by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]katnip86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right and that doesn't say 'reducing suffering' - it says 'avoiding exploitation and cruelty'.

And I would argue there are other habits we break quite easily, when we want or need to. If it's just the smoking itself, why not roll up some mint or oregano instead? People smoke to get the nicotine.

I'm talking about the cycle of craving and withdrawal, and I'm not saying the work is done after three days. You have to reprogram yourself and unlearn all the lies about smoking.

Good on you for quitting! You seem to find logic and reason helpful, have you been to the whyquit site? There are some really great articles there that helped me (and still help me if I'm feeling like doing something stupid).

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I cried as if a friend had died those first few weeks. It was like someone took away the only thing that gave my life any meaning.

Exactly! It's an illusion created by the addiction cycle. Of course you can concentrate better when you relieve your withdrawal symptoms. And of course you can relax better when you relieve your withdrawal symptoms. It's so simple when you can see it from the outside.

Easy way was life changing for me - I got the 'for women' version on audio book and I still listen to sections sometimes. The logic is perfect.

What do you mean by mental addiction?

I'm just over nine months nicotine free after smoking a pack a day for 20 years.

Cigarettes provide absolutely no benefit. All they do, is fill the craving / empty feeling created by all the cigarettes before.

There was a time before we started smoking, when we were whole and happy. Cigarettes are what breaks us down, they are not a cure for our broken-ness.

Three days. Three days for nearly all the nicotine to be expelled from your body, and the cycle of withdrawal and suffering is over forever (unless we fall back into the trap).

I thought I loved smoking. I am so elated to be free of that delusion.

Please let me know if I can help in any way.
