Quitting smoking. - Page 4

Glad I didn't ever start smoking.

The people I do know that smoked (and quit) were only able to do it when they had girl/boyfriends, interestingly enough.

motivation, or just the nagging of the partner.

In the case of humans, the difficulty of unlearning a conditioned response may be a little more complicated than the burst phenomenon could account for. For one thing, extinction bursts are likely typically defined through experiments in which the disassociation is forced (intervention)... When it's a voluntary thing, the human has to, at every prompt, re-convince herself through cerebral means... And several problems could arise, like a case where the cognitive "idea" of "not smoking", and the real life stimuli that motivated the idea in the first place, disassociate.

I'm so glad i was in this D.A.R.E program in the fifth grade. There was this video they forced us to watch and after that video, i promise myself to never get into that stuff. I can say that i am happy to be drug-free.

Course, that didn't stop my ex-girlfriend. She just lied about it, and became a closet smoker though it was weed I didn't want her doing that.

Why cigarettes and not weed? I'm just curious. Weed isn't addictive or anything, and there's a reason to smoke it lol.

**Emo_Saur_** · 10-26-2010, 08:22 PM

Well, I'd rather be addicted and killing myself than getting raped in jail because of a stupid drug charge.

Sounds like a lose-lose situation for you

How about you don't smoke and not get raped in jail?

**Emo_Saur_** · 10-26-2010, 08:35 PM

I started to smoke because of the stress, and the stress has never gone away. It's a way to cope for the time being until I am done with school. It calms me to the point that I can actually concentrate on studying. Other than that, I just get side-tracked all the time. That's either ADD or ADHD I get them mixed up.

**DossarLX ODI** · 10-26-2010, 08:46 PM

Why are you stressed?

**kommisar** · 10-26-2010, 08:47 PM

starting is the issue. psychologically it will never leave you.

**Emo_Saur_** · 10-26-2010, 08:53 PM

Work, School, Making new friends. I just moved, I have no one to chill with here where I am. That's why I am moving back to my hometown.

Is there actually jail time for pot in your state? I forgot how ridiculous the laws are in the states for weed. It's ****ing ridiculous, that and mandatory drug testing when you want a job. BRILLIANT IDEA: To deter people from ruining their lives by getting tired and hungry from a drug far less harmless than cigarettes, and arguably alcohol, we'll make it illigal for them to get jobs.

ADD and ADHD aren't just not being able to pay attention, it could just be the way you are. I think it's an over-diagnosed "disease" personally. Also if you think life is stressful in school wait until you graduate lol. With that mindset you'll be smoking your whole life.

**Emo_Saur_** · 10-26-2010, 09:03 PM

Eh, once I graduate it wont bother me near as much. I'll start work, and I'll be doing what I love. I wont be near as stressed. " If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." Right now, I work in a high-stress situation telling people what to do, telling people what they can't do. Ruining people's days being yelled at for doing MY JOB when I have no other choice. I've been made fun of for where I work (Rubix), though I have nothing against you. My job is more demanding than people might think. Also, yes the laws where I will be moving I could get sent to jail for even having resin of any sort of smoking device. I did resort to alternate highs such as spice and k2 but I had a fallout with those.

Short version: Marijuana laws in my state are dumb, when I graduate I'll be doing what I love and not so stressed, my job now blows. I also realize I have MANY grammatical errors in this paragraph, I'm too lazy to go back and edit it.

Your functional emotional state's homeostatic and won't change, and you'll be more addicted.

**Emo_Saur_** · 10-26-2010, 09:09 PM

Then so be it. It really does not bother me, I guess since pretty much all my family has un-healthy habits. It's either, obesity ( working on my part of that), drinking, smoking, drugs. I guess I've grown immune to the fact that what I am doing is killing me slowly? Though, much of my family has these problems, many of them live past the average expiration date.

really yo? the minute i first heard ecstasy and blow create euphoria, pot relaxes you and makes you feel great, and acid makes you see crazy **** i started my search for drugs

oh ya i smoke pall malls

**DossarLX ODI** · 10-26-2010, 09:23 PM

If it's nothing personal, do you mind sharing what your job is? Not to rag on you or anything.

Also resorting to drugs or smoking in the first place isn't necessarily a good idea, not just because of the damage you do to your body but also because it's temporary. Then again this is coming from someone that doesn't go overkill about friends; you might see if differently.
