Just like a drug addict laying out a line, or trying to find a vein, or making sure your “ rig” is ready, all adds to the addiction. Any act of doing the drug adds to the addiction. Hell, even going to see your dope man is all part of the rush. Trust me, I know..
For me, my entire life is a trigger. Everything I do, everywhere I went, and everything said revolved around cigarettes.
But I started quitting years ago without even realizing it.
We quit smoking in the house more than 10 years ago. I quit smoking that last cigarette right before bed. A cigarette was not the first thing I went to in the morning. I didn’t smoke after sex, unless we had sex outside LOL.
But I still managed to smoke between 20 and 40 cigarettes a day. After a meal, leaving a store or first thing when I got in my truck. Partying, drinking and smoking weed made me want to smoke cigarettes, still does.
My young son in law told me once that it doesn’t matter what I think or what triggers hit me as long as I don’t smoke. Simple enough.. yeah lol..
I like to be outside. Springtime is around the corner. I enjoy spending time in the garage working on motorcycles and such. That’s when I smoked a lot.
Triggers triggers triggers...
Going to have to figure out a way to enjoy my hobbies and what I enjoy the most without smoking.
