I like smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the most obvious question I have then is" WHY ARE YOU ON THIS SITE!!!" As human beings we never want to admit were wrong or admit were addicted, so we bullshit ourselves and say I like to smoke. If you are on this site I suppose you can read and in this day and age you can no longer deny how poisiness a cig is if you can read or turn the TV on for that matter. I am going to list some of the reasons I like to smoke and would like to hear other PERSONAL reasons why you do:

I liked smoking too except for the part that I couldn't breathe without an oxygen tank attached to me!

I just love trying to be more stupid everyday and smoking helps me...... If I could inject all the great ingredients with a syringe like a cool heroin or meth addict I think would be the best ...

Here is another video that helps me understand why I like smoking so much ..... Doesn't he have the coolest voice !!

Our addictions tell us that we like to smoke. Our addictions tell us that it is fun to smoke and that we don't want to stop smoking. Our addicitons tell us that we can't make it without a smoke. Our addictions are what scream at us when we first quit. Our addictions are what kill us.

Instead of bothering to think about why we like to smoke.....let's all concentrate on the reasons we want to quit.

When you get down to it there is not a single good thing to like about smoking although your addiction will tell you otherwise.

Prayers for the quits.

I agree with Susan. From my point of view the way to quit smoking is not to list the reasons you enjoy it. That only reinforces the reasons to continue. I enjoyed the way you put your reasons why though. Those being - none.

Mr. I am not talking about your post when I write this cuz I understand you get it.. I am talking about the lie people tell themselves that they enjoy smoking themselves into a painful breathless life and death.

Anyone saying they like to smoke are just buying into the lie of addiction.

THE LIE OF ADDICTION- tells you that you enjoy inhaling x amount of poisons. THE LIE OF ADDICTION tells you you can't drive, or walk, or talk, or even go 30 minutes without feeding your nicotine junkie. THE LIE OF ADDICTION will try and convince you you cannot live life without a cigarette dangling from your lips or fingers. THE LIE OF ADDICTION will try and convince you that nothing is enjoyable without a cigarette.

Its a Lie. WHen you say "I ENJOY SMOKING". I really can't believe it.

You wouldn't be here if that was true. You'd just go on and on enjoying yourself right into a premature death or worse a premature lung collapse or cancer or life attached to an oxygen tank. You'd enjoy yourself so much you'd NEVER quit.

Fact is..... I know something that many of you have not had the pleasure of knowing YET.

I know NOW that I DID NOT enjoy being controlled by a cigarette or stinking or killing myself. I DID SMOKE because I believed that stupid lie of addiction that some of you seem to believe by the very nature of words "I ENJOY SMOKING".

UNtil I got out past that addiction free of that stupid lie and withdrawal I had no idea how stupid that lie is.

I DO LIVE without a cigarette dangling from my mouth. I CAN DRIVE AND LIVE AND BREATHE AND HAVE MORE FUN without that stupid addiction. I DO THIS LIVING without CIGARETTES BETTER Than I ever could as a junkie smoker because well I can fricking breathe now.

SO i hope you guys all take a look at what it is you "enjoy" about poisoning and killing yourself.

I know I ENJOY LIFE. Not those stupid cigarettes.

I don't want to sound condesending, or better than anyone CUZ I AM certainly not. I am sure somone will find fault with my post although I hope I am wrong. THE fact is everything I write, I write from a point of FREEDOM. Try it and then tell me I am wrong.

Hello...I am a nurse...and many years ago I worked in a hospital with COPD patients..and it used to amaze me when they would disconnect their oxygen supply to go outside to smoke...fast forward to a few years later...and I picked up the habit while going through a painful divorce...and now understand the powerful hold smoking has...I want desperately to quit...have tried numerous times..but hope to quit 'cold turkey' very soon...and reading some of these entries definitely will help!!!

Ruth,

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Believe in yourself and want the quit more than you want to keep killing yourself with those cigarettes and you can win.

I have now been free:
One year, three months, two weeks, six days, 10 hours, 8 minutes and 27 seconds. 14292 cigarettes not smoked, saving $3,751.82. Life saved: 7 weeks, 15 hours, 0 minutes.

Thank you so much for your encouragement! As a medical professional I know all the reasons one should not smoke.....but that knowledge does not seem to help...

Hello Ruth,
Yes - read, read, read. The more knowledge you have the better armed you are to go into battle with Nasty Nico. Maybe you should hie yourself back into the cancer section of the hospital so you can be reminded of what this drug can do to you.

Things to check out:
Allen Carr's book: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking
www.whyquit.com

Would love to have you tell your story in a group I started here called Relapse Traps (in the Slipping and Sliding - Tales of Trouble Forum)

Hoping is not a verb of action. Get rid of hope and DO. You're desperate to quit and desperate to smoke. I hope the former wins out..
