@john_doe

Kama vile supu amesema ni will power, mimi niliquit drinking and smoking 6 months ago na sai niko fiti kabisa but it was not easy.

What specific challenges have you faced and how have you overcome them?

I have struggled with cigarette addiction since 2012. Back then I was in school and since it was a boarding it helped me a bit since I could only smoke on holidays and even then it was occasional. Well I finished school and I have smoked for every single day since. I smoke about 4-6 cigs a day. I have tried quitting but it isn’t working. FYI I don’t even looks like someone who smokes and among my friends I am the only smoker.I don’t want to be a statistic that’s why I want to quit now! @bjurmann and others who have quit how did you go about it?

Thats better than being a sex addict… Imagine u can borrow a friend whenever you are tight. A friend of mine was a sex addict. He lamnyad his gf anywhere he thought best. The lady objected the idea turned to breakup. Now he was to anything that moved, even car exhausts(robosexual) as if that wasn’t enough,he graduated to an award winning masterbatr. But he opened up to close friends and we advised him for rehab. Now on first day the guy was put on med (which involves getting sedated for few hrs) , he woke up looked around and pulled his meat beating it vigorously infront of the docs.

surely unataka tuamini hii bila hata sketch??

My main problem mostly was drinking since i used to smoke alot only while drinking and if i could quit drinking then i would quit also smoking. What really helped me quit drinking first of all was that at the begining of the year i moved into a new town after getting another job so i decided to start afresh, when i used to drink i would waste alot of cash ruin relashionships with my girlfriends and family and i almost lost my job once after i failed to report to work for 2 days .

After moving atleast i could avoid my drinking buddies and my regular pubs but it was not easy for the first 3 months, i used to lose concetration alot and also became depressed at times but i looked for new activities to do on my free time like kwenda gym, reading kwanza hii time ndio nilianza kusoma the poem of the Man - God, spending more time with my loved ones and anything else to keep me busy. Soon the urge to drink disappeared slowly and now i can say that the urge is not there anymore but i still avoid those friends that i used to drink with just to avoid relapse.

Now that you mention it, what is the association between drinking and smoking? I have observed it in quite a number of people where you find dude doesn’t drink but the minute they take up alcohol they take up smoking too. Is it something psychological (?) or just plain good old poly-abuse?

Congrats to you on taking the big step to kick those two habits and sticking to the course. I’m sure even you have noticed positive changes in your life. Keep it up.

Thats exactly what peddlers tell their customers.

4-6 sticks in a day, jeez that isn’t smoking. I used to do 2 packs in a day and it’s 12 Years since I quit. I didn’t even struggle, I just woke up one day and decided I have smoked enough, threw out of the window all cigarettes I had and that was it. Friends tempted me to smoke when we were out drinking but I stuck to my resolve.

Hii ni upuzi this guy started smoking with on own . No amount of advice will help him stop. Only you started it and only you can stop it. No amount of Internet cry babying will help you. just stop if you want to if not well and good, workers in BAT have families to feed. And you will die anyway

I used to smoke while drinking in campus it used to get me high faster then it became a habit everytime i drank.
Aproaching life with a sober view has made me realise that kuna vitu mob ningefanya before with my money lakini singeweza kumanage before due to the drinking and again my relationships zimeimprove sasa
