The Weird Things I did to Quit Smoking

The following was some of the more weird things I did

while going through the stress of decompress.

Sharpen knifes.  Oh Vay!  scrape, scrape, scrape....

Take your time with it.  Focus on getting the sharpest edge.

All my knifes are very sharp.

Emptied out my ashtray into a glass jar (with lid).  Added a 

bit of water to the mix.  When I feel the need I take a good 

long look at this stuff.  If I still feel the need I unscrew the

lid and take a long deep whiff.  Really brings back the whole

smoking experience - to include the gagging, retching, and 

full body coughing.

If the time and place allows for it; a good stiff drink.  

One shot only!  

Purely for medicinal purposes.  

Bonus points for Barcardi 151.

A personal favorite.  Chopping Wood.  Nothing like swinging an axe 

to work out the aggression and utter unfairness that constant 

denial piles onto my little psyche.  Plus, I'm doing something 

constructive!

Hold your breath until the desire to breath meets and exceeds 

the desire to smoke.  While holding your breath contemplate

how each cigarette you consume brings you closer to holding your

breath involuntarily. Breathing is far more satisfying then smoking.

Enjoy a fresh Jalapeño. Pop the whole thing in your mouth and 

chew slowly.  mmmmmm...  Bonus points for not having water 

near at hand.
