December 20, 20187 yr Yes, I ask cause I am THAT bored... Anyways, I am not an easily excitable person but when I do get such or if I am happier than normal, I find myself thinking, "A smoke would be great right about now". The most common occurrence is when I learn that some sort of "bad news" isn't nearly as bad as I imagined. It is weird cause i could be almost in a rage of anger and the thought of smoking is never there. Same for being sad or having the "Monday Blues". But let it be something good like, "ALRIGHT! That neighbor I hate is being exiled to Pakistan to be sold off into slavery!" and my mind seeks nicotine out of pure joy and excitement. Luckily the only time I normally get excited is when I find a fantastic deal on clothing. What about you?
December 20, 20187 yr Probably because while you smoked you were conditioned to see it as a reward for having completed a task or while out having a good time or whatever brought you joy. For me it's boredom. When every I have nothing to do and no real focus I think I should be smoking to use up that time I guess?
December 20, 20187 yr Stress is a big one for me. It's likely that the stress I felt was because of a need for a nicotine hit. When I was anxious about starting new in work I'd never done before, I smoked more. Being worried about learning the work fast enough caused tension. As I became more proficient, i began smoking less.
December 20, 20187 yr I can't even remember the last time I had a desire to smoke. In fact, and this should not be mistaken for complacency on my part, I can't think of one scenario in which I would ever choose to smoke a cigarette again. 2 hours ago, sgt.barney said: There is an end, folks, it does go away. Yep, what he said.
