Originally posted by hopscotchI don't know if you can smell or not, but my suggestion to Seitse was that he take a positive approach and use his mental toughness to help him defeat an insidious enemy. He asked for help in quitting, not for advice on how to surrender. My "ridiculous nonsense" helped me to stop smoking after 30 years, and my lungs and my outlook are a hell of a lot better than yours.
I'm holding my head up, taking a drag, breathing deeply, exhaling, tasting food the way it always tastes, delicious, flicking off some ash, and feeling negative about the world around me because I don't subscribe to your ridiculous nonsense. What's next? Are you going to tell me that I can't smell?
Originally posted by SeitseGum can be a horrible way to go. If you have to choose between one or two cigs per day, or no cigs plus gum... choose cigs every time.
No, no, mate! Don't go! I want to gore as well!
(seriously) I need an argument to tell my brain 🙁
If you require any further tips/advice etc, please feel free to pm me.
You have achieved the hardest part...ie choosing to give up... now carry it out. Stop being weak and selfish. So there. Best wishes... you will succeed.
Originally posted by HandyAndyYour presumption that your lungs are better than mine is completely out of line. You smoked for THIRTY YEARS. That makes your lungs pretty old, and pretty smoky. I've smoked for six years, I'm 28. I'm pretty sure my lungs are a hell of a lot better than yours.
...and my lungs and my outlook are a hell of a lot better than yours.
Secondly, your outlook is warped. My outlook is clearly better than yours, and until you prove otherwise then I am the King of Everything.
