- it's next to impossible
- havent played a lot past weeks, mindset cannot handle any sort of variance, on extreme ragetilt when i see beats
- ecigs help a ton
- head is so fucked up right now i cant even play a hand when i sit down and end up closing stars client
- mood swings daily, crazy thoughts about quitting poker, grinding 200kvpp in 3 months , cashing out, getting out of stars again etc lol


i wont be going back to smoking, its a promise that ive made which i intend to keep, thats why my head is really fucked up right now. last time i went to the gym i just felt smoking cut my wind down to like 5% remaining lol, hated it and finally thought of giving up smoking afer 23 years (started when i was 14, have not quit a single day averaging 1pack a day ) but since poker i think its been up to 2packs or more daily.

Educate yourself on how to quit an addiction, it's not really hard. It's so easy to say it's hard and your brain make sure "is is" hard for you.

It's piss easy, been an addict myself, can be done in a day. Gogo lessons of mastery <3 Robbinson shit, quit 18 hours of wow 4 years straight in a heartbeat.

cigs aren't up there with alcohol and drugs. They're up there with heroine. I think heroine is the hardest thing to quit and cigs are the 2nd hardest. Don't cite me on that but too lazy to wiki now. Luckily i never got into smoking ;p

i'm on same boat as you. i'm pretty sure even if a pack of cig gets bumped to $100, i'd prob end up buying pack a day till i'm busto

i quit about 6 months ago , when evilsky ( i think it was evilsky) made a blogpost about it and refered to a book "the easy way to quit smoking" by allen something
i read 3/4 of that book and quit.
dunno if it was my psycology that im gonna be quitting cause that book is very good according ppl who read it and so did , but i did quit at that time.

btw i ll be eternal gratefull to evilsky for that..

jesus 23 years of smoking. my 5 years ain't shit compared to that.

I avged a pack a day during that time and when shit got bad it was up to 2 packs.

I quit cold turkey about 7 ~ months ago. I since then maybe had 1-2 cigs. only when i was mad drunk

its obviously completely possible to quit smoking cigs (and you should obviously), but its different from being addicted to WoW and quitting. Nicotine is physically addictive.

Also talking about wow, I too played that game an absurd amount and definitely would qualify as an addiction for me under many definitions of the word, but I just quit one day cuz I finally realized I was bored and not getting anything out of it anymore. Can't think of cigs the same way.

e cigarettes is the first step. i went cold turkey with real cigarettes real quick considering how long ive gone smoking

sir, i don't think you know shit about addiction. while a mental/psychological addictions can be tough to overcome. try combining that with a very real and severe physical addiction.

then you got yourself a problem.

i quit a couple years ago now, was smoking marlboro red like 1.5 packs a day.. i tried a few methods, like promising not to smoke, cutting down on the amount of cigs a day etc.. but finally got hold of this book by Allen Carr, easy way to stop smoking... and well .. honestly it really was the thing for me.. never smoked, never even thought of wanting again... and the addiction part in the brain, went right out of the window... was one of the easiest things i've done
