I have no idea what made me do it … but at 3am last nite I enlisted Bryan Wong Jun Hon’s help to quit smoking.
I failed miserably the last few times I tried or eventually went back to smoking after a few weeks going cold-turkey and I figured …. if this time is gonna be different … I gotta get help. Right?
The agreement with Bryan is that I’m not allowed to smoke at home and also whenever he’s around and if i do want to … it’ll cost me RM150 a cigarette. RM150 to smoke 1 cigarette!!! He said he’ll use the money to treat me so it comes back to me anyway but still … its like throwing RM150 away just to puff a stick of rolled up leaves.
WAH LIAO EH !!! Still …. somewhat hesitantly … we shook pinkies on it.
If i’m going enlist a fren to help … i gotta go with what he says right? Its only with people’s help that I’ll be able to really quit for real right.
Its 11 hours into my first day without a cigarette. Its after lunch now and the cravings to light up are strong … very strong. ARGH!!!!
I’ve been smoking about 10 sticks a day and I figure I shud go cold turkey if I’m gonna make it through a friday without having to cough up RM150 or RM300 to Bryan.
What a day to choose to quit … a Friday … and we have to attend a fren’s birthday at Frangi tonite followed by another club’s pre-launch or opening there after.
HOW NOT TO SMOKE ON A FRIDAY NITE AT 2 SOCIAL EVENTS WHERE ALL MY FRENS SMOKE!!!
How to lounge casually against the wall and hope someone finds me cute enough to talk to WITHOUT a cigarette between my fingers?
Please let me find the strenghth to make it through the next 13 hours … PLEASE!!!!
my box of ciggies last me 4 days, great improvement. considerin it used to be 1 pack a day.
no need la .. all the reports on heart disease that i keep seeing over and over again is doing the trick liao
hope u’re well
sigh … thanks … trying .. trying
was allowed 1 cig on fri nite and sat nite.
i use my quota for both nites while i was at the clubs.
its been good since then
sigh … damn hard .. especially when u have frens who light up.
but i’m starting to not like the taste of cigarettes so that might help for now
late comment… but so did u manage the fri night?
i’m tryin to cut dwn on my sticks too.
it is hard when all your friends around you smoke.
temptation will always be there.
Going cold turkey style can be quite tough… and painful! Try cutting it down slowly bit by bit or try some nicotine gums. I heard from most people who tried to stop smoking, the pitfall is that they need to have something to occupy the time they use for smoking. Chewing a gum may help to curb the cravings..
It is good to have friends who are supportive in your effort to try to stop smoking.. even smoker friends should respect your wishes (and stop smoking in front of you).
Good luck! You can do it.
you can do it. try getting an xray of your lungs.
heh ….. so far the tempation to light up was strongest after lunch.
next biggest test is when i get to the social events at the clubs later
*grits teeth in preparation*
touche!!! good one
i’m sure you can do it.
just stop.
see?
but you no heart one what! how to get heart disease??!! ;P
oh. hmmm. doesnt quite make sense to me but mebbe that’s just me.
technically i can smoke when i’m at work or when he’s not around … but the point of quitting is so i will be less at risk to heart disease!!!
so if i smoke secretly behind him … i’m not so much cheating him but myself right!
hmmm, wat if u smoke secretly behind him? hmmm.
don’t be evil … u know how hard it is to quit … u shud be encouraging me instead of putting ur money on Bryan!!
I would go and buyout Bryan now, he’s surely gonna make a lot of money. ;P
wah lao eh, the hefty fines can kill your wallet. LOL
