The hardest part will be disassociating different activities with having a cigarette, but you'll get through it! | ||

Its one of the many factors that are attributed to relapse due to craving | ||

As far as reducing your usage goes, I know, as a former heroin addict (2 years), that it's usually better to just quit all together than to try and reduce your use or find some other crutch like e cigarettes. Get some support. Hell, as lame as it sounds, try going to a smoking cessation group a couple of times. It definitely couldn't hurt. | ||

quit smoking 10years ago, 3-4 years later I gained after hitting +20kg I decided I need to loose that weight again, asap 1 year later I was back to 72kg. Today my weight is constantly around 72-74 and of course still non smoker. I could write lot of experience stuff here, I would like to but I don't want waste the readers time with banal advices which you probably heard sometime somewhere. I know how hard it is to quit smoking (had been a casual smoker for about 10 year, but it was never one package per day on a regular basis) Points I still like to stress out: nr1 what made me quit for real was, I developed a very strong antipathy against cigarettes (also there had been slight health issues, a better blood circuit was the best thing for me to fight that "slight" health issue) nr2 someone mentioned, stay away from alcohol, emmm this is not true, you need to understand your habits. if you avoid the situations in which you normally had been smoking, you will fell it much easier to quit smoking. Smoking is a habit thing, if you understand that and keep control of your habits, than you can easily control yourself, still you have to be strong minded and consequent, there is no room for mistakes! (example: if you got used to always smoke when you drink alcohol, every time you drink alcohol you will have the feeling that something is missing, it did take a long time for me until I could again enjoy drinking alcohol without have a "I miss something to enjoy the drink" feeling, I guess it will be the same with playing PC games, if you have used to always smoke when playing PC) Finally I want to wish you Ret and anyone else, whom you inspired with your path of getting/staying healthier, good luck in succeeding. I think you will have a hard time because of the habits to have a smoke while playing SC2. It's clear that you cannot avoid this situation as a pro gamer and therefore I wish you a special strong mind to master the situation. AND please focus with prio1 on quitting smoking, doing more sports and eating healthy is great but really if things go different than planned keep the stop smoking on prio 1 Good luck mate! | ||

I just want to say though, you mention just becoming a happier person overall. I understand that this is your job, but I guarantee you sitting at the computer for 10+ hours a day is not going to contribute to that happiness in a great way. I'm sure you get an exponential amount of joy from playing SC2, but binging on such a sedentary activity (that isn't even real) for that long and that constantly is not good for people. That's why I worry so much for pro gamers. You dudes play this game nonstop. I know how I'd feel if that's all I did. Like blowing my brains out. Again, good luck brother. | ||

By the way if you want to get serious about being in shape, try the P90X workout program. It worked wonders for me, helped me to eat right and get in the best shape of my life. Being at a desk job all day can wreak havoc on your health if you are not active. I'll rooting for you at MLG Dallas! | ||
