Cigs that is.

My job is fukking stressful, dealing with dumb customers all day. I used to smoke here and there but never full packs, but now I've been craving so I end up buying packs and I end up finishing the whole thing and the cycle repeats..

My hard earned money :damn:

What is stressing you out about work exactly ?

You've been working there for a while I imagine why are you suddenly stressed now ?

I'm sorry to hear that, but from a ex smoker to smoker all I have to say is... It's really not worth it. At the end it does absolutely nothing. Chemicakky yes, but overall it does nothing. If your stressed try other alternatives like make a awesome meal. Or perhaps if your stress invest in a stress ball. I have one that I like to bounce around when I'm agitated.

Frankly, I wish I never pick up the habit, but I know that in the end it was absolutely worthless and a waste of money, time and energy

Dealing with dumb ass people. I'm a sales rep so I have to find leads and manage existing clients. I've been here for too long so I'm looking for a job.

What started my smoking was stress from my breakup and now the stress from work makes me want to smoke more.

Last time I bough a pack was a week and a half ago. I finished it in a week. Then the remaining days I thought I won't smoke since I was off, but I've been bumming smokes of friends. Obviously doesn't help. Now I'm back at work and craving it :to:

I'll try to avoid buying packs though. See what happens. Only problem is, I'm planning to go out tonight and there'll be liquor involved so it's only natural to smoke cigs.

why don't you try this./ I know this may seem extreme, but if you need to smoke due this. Everytime you smoke a ciggy whether out of anxiety or whatever deprive yourself of a small thing that you like to do such as weed or a snack or something. When you realize what your truly missing out on then you may think "it's not worth it."

I hope you get the help you need because cigs don't do anything fro stress but make you addicted...they raise your blood pressure exponentially too if you chain smoke....they do so much harm I don't see how anyone can start them

Youre at a crossroads where you either stop now or the monster will have you in chains.

If youre drawn to vices, how about puffing a little herb to ease the stress. Not only is it not as destructive/addictive as tobacco, but youre also limited as to how often, and where you can consume it. Keeps your usage in check, whereas you can easily blow through a whole pack of menthols during your actual shift:manny:

Either that or find another outlet. Whether it be working out, boxing, or another hobby it can offer a balance between stress and release

I actually understand where youre coming from as I used to do real estate, and the only way you eat is by closing these clients. And trying to find leads and managing them will drive you crazy:mindblown:

Breh whatever you dealing with is temporary. Cigarettes will be a permanent problem if you continue. Straight up. What you going through isn't as stressful as having an EKG hooked up to your chest and tubes coming out your nose at 60.

Im actually thinking about quitting. The only time I smoke is when I drive or am at work. I figure I could what I tried quitting before, eat more food during my breaks instead of smoking.

I've taken up gym as a hobby. I run 6x a week. It's weird, I've never craved for smokes before, but now I do.

It's not like I never smoked before. I've been through this phase before about 5 years ago where I was buying packs but then I went cold turkey but still had few cigs here and there.

Now it's back to packs.
