Motivate Me to not Smoke!
Just got back from a cruise in hawaii and met some girls there and had a blast. I'm fairly young and was plastered just about every night and one of the girls I was with was a smoker. She kept on offering me cigarettes if I would go back to the room with her so I obviously obliged.
Now the cruise is over and I am getting some cravings for them after a week of smoking. I have seen several threads talking about people that have chosen to stop after heaving smoking for several years and what a living hell it is to go through. Just scare the [censored] out of me so whenever I get the craving when I have been drinking or whatever I can come back and look at this thread.

Re: Motivate Me to not Smoke!
Send me $10 for every cig you have. That will motivate you.

Don't smoke. It's really that easy. You really don't want to, you just think you do.
I quit a month ago and after the first week it was fine. Seriously, once you make it through three days and one night of drinking you will forget about cigarettes.

Re: Motivate Me to not Smoke!
It's not really about smoking on a pack a day. I just want to not have anything to do with it when I am hammered. If I keep on smoking everytime I get drunk then I am going to eventually become a chain smoker. I just need some way to have it stick in my mind that I should not touch it even when I am impaired.

Re: Motivate Me to not Smoke!
I havent smoked in 1 month and 1 week after smoking for 13 years (since I was 13).
Its a complete nightmare to quit and if you havent started its not worth the pure physical and mental hell that quiting entails. I have a nicotine patch on and I still want to punch everyone I see smoking out of jealousy. One thing I meditate on everytime Ive gotten a craving was closing my eyes and reliving an experience I had in a cancer ward a year or so ago. People all over dying, families in shock, a priest on call roaming around giving last rites, etc. It was horrid. My other savior is Halo 2.

[/ QUOTE ] That's how I got started. The one thing you can do is NOT SMOKE WHEN YOU'RE NOT DRINKING. But then you say well hmmm... I'm having a beer, i can have a cigarette with it too. If you're disciplined you can actually smoke every once in awhile (this is what I do now, 2 cigarettes/week maybe) but if you're not just don't touch the [censored]. it's really really not worth it. anytime you want a smoke, just have another drink.
