I Wish There Were Rhyme and Reason to My Craves

for 15 år siden 0 +0 / -0 278

My last one was walking into a restaurant, and seeing an unlit brand spanking new cigarette on the ground. The addict in me told me to pick it up. 5 seconds later I was laughing at myself and passed it by. Good job throwing those out PB, I couldn't quit with 17 still in the pack. You should have had them bronzed.

Miss Marple, you are a cheater! LOL!

Here is one for you all, I get up this morning, walk into the kitchen to get some breakfast, and there in that trash shining like a bright neon sign is the pack of cigarettes I gave to my girlfriend to throw away the night before I quit, and I'm alone in the apartment. I'm thinking, are you kidding me? It took her 126 days to throw them out..?? I picked them up, I opened them, and there were still 17 left in the pack, the same way I left them. Then I said to myself, not like this, no way am I losing my quit smoking stale cigarettes out of the trash. So I calmly put them back into the trash can and made my breakfast. And of course the crave came on, the junkie seen the smokes and wanted one, as I knew he would. Amazing to me that the same pack shows up 4 months later, needless to say my girlfriend got a little talking to when she got home. I guess it goes to show you that we all must be vigilant and be aware at all times of our addiction.

This is a great thread Brenda, thanks for starting it!

Members, what do you think? Is there a rhyme or reason to your craves?! If so, what is it?! How do you continue to fight these cravings?

Please share your experiences!

I don't know about reason, but I do have a rhyme:

When you attempt to quit,

Your cravings will give you a fit.

But if you endure,

Your body is sure,

To return to it's pre-smoking verdure!

I had a hell of a time finding a rhyme with endure, but I assure you verdure is a word. I cheated and looked up 'health' in the Thesaurus!

I couldn't agree more......My addict does NOT play fair.......It throws craves at me at just like you two are describing. They are a lot easier to say N.O.P.E. to now......but back when I was where you are.....it was very hard.

Just keep saying N.O.P.E. and you'll win.....and we all want that!!

Keep the Quit
