Smoking !

Its just so crazy - must be those pesky nicotine receptors!
 
@chrisbug I was interested to read you got addicted to nicotine lozenges as that happened to me too. I got off the lozenges by eating polos but then ate them constantly and felt anxious if I didn’t have any on me! I persevered and it is now 15 years since I smoked a cigarette.
 
I got hooked on chuppa lollipops - piled on loads of weight, lost it, put loads on again it was a merry go round!
 
Yeah, me to!

I know they have other stuff in them that may not be good for me, but it's the lesser of many evils for me!
As you can see, I don't want to run out, and this is my stash in the garage.
 
@chrisbug I used to have a kitchen cupboard that looked like that! It’s good to know I’m not alone
 
The dreaming thing is interesting: I sometimes dream I'm looking through an antique shop at a nice collection of briar pipes, and then I take one and have a lovely smoke walking through a strange town. I have *never* dreamed of sandwiches, chips, burgers, sweets, chocolate or alcohol, but the smokey pipe one comes to me with some frequency. Make of it what you will: I was never even a heavy smoker...
 
I’ve already posted on this subject but need to add something I was told by a guy when I was an apprentice , he said your only one fag away from being an addict, even though I’ve packed in I always remember it , it keeps me “ focused”
Good luck to all those trying to pack in, it is difficult but well worth it when you do eventually succeed ! I use to put £5 in a jar every day I packed in amazed how much money accumulated in a short space of time
