Ex Smokers

[Smurfy]

I was hooked on a 2 pack a day habit, 3 if I was drinking. I spent over 2 years trying to quit cold turkey - I'd make it a few weeks, and then fuck it up.
Finally I made it. It's been 11 + years since my last smoke.
When I'm awake I never have anything other than contempt for smoke. I don't allow it in my home or car ever. But at times I still get nightmares about smoking, and I wake up paniked and depressed about blowing my no-smoking streak. It takes a few seconds to realise it was just a dream. That happens less often as time goes on.
Good Luck.

I experience the exact same thing. I hate it

What type of 'DANCING" are we talking about here?

Think ballet, not stripping.

Until you consciously try to stop then yeah, you'll wanna smoke when any one of these things happens. I started smoking at 16...just quit like 1 month ago. Just got tired of having a sore throat when waking up every morning, having phlegm in my throat, having my clothes smell, having to spend lots of money on ciggs, craving to smoke even when I was sick, etc.

Lemme tell you, the most refreshing feeling I ever got is after I hadn't smoked for a few weeks. I woke up, and for the first time in years, I didn't even think about ciggs. Didn't want one even if one was right there. I never thought it could happen but the shits like magic...

anyways, are you planning on cutting down?

I'm not smoking now. I'm just stressed and I've been craving a cigarette like crazy. I haven't caved. I'm just pissed that I want one.

So if I eat lots of fava beans I will never have another cigarette craving?
