Guys I need a bit of guidance. I'm a scuba diver for a living but I've recently started smoking. Like, a lot. Obviously this isn't a good mix so I want to get out of it. I use it as a means to stop anxiety and from feeling nervous, so I kinda rely on it at the moment. What tactics can I use to get me out of it, because I can already feel it slowly killing me. Thanks.

I don't know smoking, but I know drinking
The problem is boredom
Find things to fill your life
Cook, clean, exercise, watch TV, read books before bed.
I'm reading a cool book about a bunch of divers living in a deep sea rift going insane

Get an e-cig, the gum, or cold-turkey it.
It's all down to will-power. Are you a slave to your desires or are you the master of your universe?

Realize that you may always want it, that there is no "insta-perma-cure"
Then determine that you don't want that, you want -this- whatever this is.
This stuff literally comes down to your decisions - there is no other way. You have to physically rewire the connections of your brain - by constantly making choices - in order to succeed.
No one else can do it for you, because no one can mind control anyone. It -is- possible. It's just up to you. Which is, when you look at it, quite liberating. People with cancer don't have the choices you have, for example.
Good luck.
OP here, thanks for the support. I specifically do it when I'm out drinking, and talking to girls. So I'm looking for a substitute because desu it's messing my career up.

Stop smoking.
Learn edibles.
You get your medicine and don't fuck up your lungs.
Thank me later.

usually choline gets rid of drug addictions so i hear
I scuba. You didn't specify weed or cigarettes so I'll advise on both since I use both.
Weed won't hurt your lung capacity and may improve it when used in moderation. Doesn't sound like you're ripping bongs daily so no worries there.
Cigs will fuck your lung capacity beyond belief. I quit smoking (again) about 5 days ago after having been on and off for the past year or so (and not smoking before that). It really destroys your lung capacity and you will burn air / nitrox like a motherfucker. Quit now.
