Lonely, anyone?

Hey folks,

before I quit I could just be by myself for days and not feel lonely at all. But ever since I quit I have harder time being alone. It almost feels like I miss fags and confuse that with missing other people. Does that makes sense?

Anyone else had this? Does it last forever? :eek:

Hi, you know I can't remember feeling lonely, but I do remember feeling very alone in my own home, being so use to, opening the back door in the morning with my coffee. Or hanging out the window, for a quick fag, I guess it did take a little while for me to adjust to a house that is now smoke free.

Your pushing on and that's a wonderful feeling, just keep going, doing great:)

I guess I didn't explain it that well, but I think some of you understood it :)

Anyways, it's not that feeling of "I just broke up with someone", it's more like I crave to be around people much more than before and I don't enjoy the company of myself as much as I did before, whether it's playing video games, sitting in a garden, watching tv shows etc.

I thought I was over that phase where "fun" things aren't fun anymore without the fags :rolleyes:

Yep getting divorced from ciggys can be a long grawn affair at times but look on the bright side, you get to keep everything including the banks full balance which won't get robbed by this parasite anymore, the couch and flat screen are all yours even down to the seedy L.P. at the back of the collection, everything is yours, the only thing you'll lose when divorcing ciggy's is the lighter and the ashtray.

Not what you're looking for?
