QUESTION FOR PENGUIN/ ANYONE WHO HAS GIVEN UP SMOKING!!

pod1

hi, just wanted to know how you got on with you stopping smoking and playing poker on line. im on my 2nd evening now and i cant bring myself to sit at keyboard and play poker . what  do you do with your left hand when you play and dont smoke!!. i cant have it wrapped round a wine glass all that time i gotta work the next day. doc says i gotta bring down blood pressure before an op i am having next mnth. i am on the new spray and its worked really well so far . had tried patches and tablets but missed the feeling of somethin hitting the back of my throat (that sounds wrong!!!) it tastes like a mixture of menthol pepper spray and mustard gas, but does seem to work. just wanted to know if you stayed off the computer playing poker whilst you dealt with the urges to smoke?

it's easy.  get a second mouse for your left hand.

Hiya

I stopped smoking 6 months ago and didn't stop playing online, I went cold turkey and really struggled with the cravings......this sounds silly but the only thing that helped me at night sitting at the pc was either having a pen in my hand or chewing on plastic tooth picks!!

Good luck

hey mate,

defo not the ideal person to comment on this i gave up smoking just before a live game and 1 bad beat later i was over. Quitting take huge will power and i wish you luck. IMO i wouldnt play while giving up, i think poker can be very stressful game and can set you back weeks.

Very well done to all those that have btw.

its more boredom for me don, i dont stress while playing, dont tilt either. its just i always drink av a ciggie whilst playing. i have tried twice before, once for 6 wks when i nearly lost me finger and had to have a vein transplant, the other when i had bad chest infection. i aint getting any younger and i told the wife with the money i save i will be paying for my bike insurance. kids hate me smoking to.

day 2 (3rd evening) going really well with this spray, if anyone said i could play poker for 3hrs yest drink and not smoke after such i short period of time i would of said there was more chance of jj giving up takeaways or neildown getting his chat ban lifted!!. do recommend it for anyone wanting to give up. dont even feel like filling my face which is good.  phil
