In the spiritual we all search for something like God,Nothinghess, etc,.We search for the elusive Self or finding the true who you are!Once on the path we loose the unreal body and merge in the true Self!

Yep. Smoking. It was very difficult, but I just stopped buying cigarettes, and spent all of my money on other things. That way, when I REALLY wanted to buy more cigarettes, I was broke.

Congratulations, that's a unique way to do it! I hope you managed to buy food for yourself though!

Yeah I did. I'm still a teen, so I was living with my parents at the time.

smoking
I did it by reading "The easyway to give up smoking" By Alan Carr. I did not use nicotine patches or anything. I smoked about 40 a day at some points but averaged around 25.

Now I have been smoke free for coming up to 2 years :)

Thank you fans

i eat more
haha
i wasnt that unfit for a smoker except my stamina was low but as i did performing arts i used to play about and pick people up and walk on my hands so i was relatively fit. Since i finished i work and sit on my ass so im not that fit now. if i was fit i would say stamina would have been better but due to laziness its worse haha.
I'd say its still probably worth trying if you do want to actually give up.

Sounds like your body might be in need of a lifestyle change! ;-)

You're a rare species MojoThunder! Haven't come across many people with NO experience of addiction.
Do you drink tea or coffee?
Avatar Just ONE More To Go Sep, 14 2009 at 07:15 PM
no coffee ... can't stand it ... decaf tea ... i can go weeks without a soda ... having an alcoholic father and a drug addicted older sister really shows you what NOT to do

They're some heavy addictions to quit, well done!
What do mean about help from God?
Avatar Lord Knows Sep, 14 2009 at 05:03 PM
What I mean is - I didn't have anywhere to turn - my friends were doing it so that wasn't a good route, my parents didn't "understand" so that was a dead end. But I knew that the booze & drugs would eventually kill me and the smokes would have me looking older than I wanted after a while. I was lost looking for anything, anyone, anywhere and then I grabbed a Bible - after reading a little bit a sense of relief came over me. I no longer craved the drugs or booze - I didn't want the atmosphere it brought with it either. All I can say is - God is real because if he weren't I'd be higher than the cost of living right now with my face in a pile of dope and a 5th of rum next to me. We can try on our own but being delivered from it was even better.
