Members SA Rios Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 {censored}, she still smokes 3+ packs a day When I hear of people that smoke this much I'm completely dumbfounded. 3 packs a day is about 4 smokes an hour or so (assuming she's not waking up every hour in the middle of the night). I don't know how anyone can get that addicted to it where you have to chain smoke all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BottomHeavyKate Posted August 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 Woo, first week's gone! Isn't it downhill after the second week? I don't smoke so I don't know, but I thought that's what I'd heard. I'm not sure. The good thing is that I have so much to get done in the next few weeks that I won't have a lot of down time. I mowed the boyfriends lawn on Sunday just because sitting in the house relaxing was making me crazy!!I never had a smoker's cough before this but good lord - I've had some serious bad coughing fits in the last week .

I've got some lawn/house stuff that could use some attention I've seen my friends with the nasty ass cough too, but man you'll feel so much better after. You'll actually be able to smell/test again and breathe and ahhh!! (or so I've been told ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides...it takes what - like 20 minutes to get there from Chicago?!?! I'll be moving in with him in a couple of weeks. then it's tearing down wallpaper, painting, insulating, any house thing he will let me do.Because I did the math and realized that I spend several hours a day smoking.Even if I take 10 minutes a smoke and I'm at a pack a day....that's over three hours. I don't drive during the week so that's three hours I have to fill with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Muddslide Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 I just hope I don't replace it with food - I've finally gotten within 10 pounds of my goal weight.Will you have to change your name to "Not-So-Bottom-Heavy Kate???"Good luck. I found I couldn't give up nicotine but since I had to give up everything else, I just found other ways to ingest tobacco than cig-smoking.

Members Death Hands Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 The coughing is your lungs repairing themselves. It's a good cough. I still love my cigarettes, though I'm cutting myself down to 2 a day or 3 if I'm up until like 5 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how anyone can get that addicted to it where you have to chain smoke all day long. John Mellencamp smoked (until he had a heart attack at a very early age) 4 packs a day. He would wake up in the night, and have a smoke. He smoked in the shower (I guess had an ashtray right outside). Edward R Murrow match lit only one cigarette a day. The rest of the 4 packs he smoked were lit with the still-burning previous cigarette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HackedByChinese! Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 That said, flavored tobaccos > not. And I know I could quit whenever at this point fine. For some reason, I don't believe this for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations Kate on 8 days. One day at a time will get you where you want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 dont be obsessed with the idea of having a cigarette 24/7..... find other stuff to fill that void with.... music, sports, whatever makes you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting a little easier by the fact that I'm swamped at work and I have a week and a half to get set to move and get registered back in school. I'm sure I'll manage to fill every available hour!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Death Hands Posted August 13, 2008 Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 For some reason, I don't believe this for a minute. Find a way to track it, and I'll smoke nothing for a week or two weeks or whatever. I just bought a pack today, and I've had 2. I could go without smoking them, easily.
