Cruising through nofap, failing miserably with quitting smoking

Do you have friends who smoke? If so, you might want to find new ones because that can be the single biggest factor.

Also lay off any triggers like coffee, alcohol and be ready after a meal for those cravings. Use every trick in the book. The patch, tea, meditation, websites like this (for smoking).

I was a very heavy smoker in the past and it was hard to quit but I honestly feel if i could do it anyone can.

But I get it. I feel the same way now with drinking too much wine. Not ready to call myself alcoholic but definitely lean on it like a crutch, especially since giving up PMO. Like you, I find myself doing better at abstaining from PMO more than I thought I would. I never expected to go weeks or even days at a time. It's much harder to do that with wine and certainly was with cigarettes. Never missed a day.

 

yeah you gotta be careful with those patches. I remember doing the same thing. Smoking with a patch on lol
But they can be useful if you're truly trying to stop. But it's not enough. You got to get at this from every angle. The gym is a great place to be if you haven't developed a routine with that then I say get into it. That's when I started a gym is when I stopped smoking.

Did you look into any websites like this one that support quitting smoking? I found some good ones in the past. I know they are out there. Also there's some good day counters out there.

 

Man I'm in a similar situation. I'm doing quite good in my No PMO journey, but I'm starting to smoke again, after I had quit 6 months ago. It's hard to give up different addictions at the same time, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to try to. I would say that after your 90 days, you should put quitting smoking as the number 1 priority. Cigarettes fucking suck, and we all know it.

 

I think that’s considered a replacement “hobby”/ addiction. My p*rn addiction was connected with vaping e-cigarettes so I had to quit both at the same time. I wouldn’t/don’t enjoy PMO unless I’m vaping. Nicotine is a extremely addictive drug and I’d recommend transitioning off cigarettes with Nicorette or patches. Smoking cigiaretes is a process where you stop whatever you’re doing, then have to go outside and find a smoking friendly area that becomes a hassle and interferes with you day. With a patch you can go on about your day stay productive to ease the craving with the hopes it will eventually subside all together. Cigarettes have brutal side effects where overtime your body will physically force you to stop (illnesses) and it’s too late before you know it. It’s a fight but find something new to latch onto as long as it’s not p*rn or cigarette it almost doesn’t matter what it is
