    So, apparently, I've given up smoking.

    I thought I had a packet of cigarette papers. I can't find them anywhere.

    I'm thinking of whittling my oak table into a scale replica of a spitfire.


    And, appaqrently they weren't half as important as the Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain.

    Lollipops? You can hold them and put them in your mouth.

    You can also play Kojak.

    I find washing my hair to take ages and it uses my hands. Put some shamfeces in your hand, put in hair and move hand around to make some suds. Put head under water to make the suds go away. Take some more shamfeces and do the same. Take some more shamfeces and do the same.

    It just goes on forever. I usually run out of shamfeces before I finish the instructions on the bottle.

    Friend of my mothers actually ate around ten lollipops a day for years after he gave up smoking.

    Alternatively maybe take up oragami.

    Come back when you can put on a hand shadow play of Ireland's economic decline featuring Bertie, Seánie Fitz, Brian Goggin, Biffo, the other Seán (ya know bankrupt, then unbankrupt), and other innocent parties.

    Yeah hurricanes were the better gun platform and had heavier armament so they took out far more bombers. Spitfires were for toffs i reckon.

    Read a book or play a computer/video game would be 2 regular easy things. Keep the mind occupied for a while. TV won't work. You'll get mad ravings staring at that useless lifeless screen.

    The worst thing for me was I was off cigs for 2 days, and there I was craving a cigarette while watching someone on TV crave a cigarette. That really stuck a hot iron in me. Good luck. :p

    If you screw up and end up having one don't throw it all away. Quit again. It's really easy. Also don't plan to fall off the wagon with the intention of getting back on. That's the worst thing you could do.

    Making that model sounds pretty cool actually.

    Dennis Norden only held a clip-board on 'It'll Be Alright On The Night' because he didn't know what to do with his hands on camera. You could use this in your everyday life.

    write that screen play you always wanted to write, that'll keep your fingers busy :cool:

    If you need something to do with your hands just let them go idle for a while. Pretty soon the devil will find some work for them.

    Amen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    Wonder is he still off them? :D


    It's one of the hardest things about stopping smoking, the idle hands...

    3 days will see a huge improvement if ya can stick it AMC. Hands in your pockets and play with yerself till then ;)

    The knitting tip actually worked for an ex-chainsmoking mate of mine. I've lost touch now, but last time I met him, he was still smoke-free with a new skill acquired.
    ps. It also works a charm on the ladies - shows you're in touch with your feminine side and all that ****e.

    Get a yo-yo and become a master. They started off as a deadly weapon in the Philippines, now think about how good you could get.
    I got one that lights up and relearned all the classics. :)
