Hey guys. I have given up smoking for about the third time (over ten years) and was wondering whether there is anybody else who connects smoking to some other sort of compulsive behaviour or addiction?
I usually start to smoke again when I relapse really bad eating wise (being bulimic) or when I do drugs....
Sure, I can see that!
@CKBlossom
Any experience yourself if I may ask?
The things I connected to smoking were the typical coffee, after eating, talking on the phone, while drinking and socializing. What I had to do for it to be the last time I was gonna quit was change my routine and habits. I quit coffee, drinking and didn't sit on the back porch anymore. I replaced these with different things and changed my daily routine. I now have 3 years as a non smoker after trying more than I can count to quit.
@glamisdiva Yeah I understand that and have recommended that many people who wanted to quit, however, for me the quitting never was difficult. I think it to be much more difficult not to start again during challenging episodes of live…
