I know this topic has come up a few times before, but this is a bit of a different angle. Myself and a Dom I know and trust have been discussing how I could quit smoking. The plan we've come up with would be for me to be kept 'captive' at his place and go cold turkey for a fortnight. Has anyone tried anything like this? How did it go? Advice, suggestions? He works from home, although he will have to go out to meetings. I won't be tied up, but may well be locked in, or have my purse and clothes locked up. Sexual stuff will happen, probably various menial tasks too. If I start going bat shit, there will be punishments. If I'm good, he'll take me out for walks. It all sounds good in concept, but I'm sure there's problems I haven't thought of. Any advice would be appreciated.

It is a good idea. That is how I quit - I went on one of the turkey road trips and quit then. The fact that you are in a totally different environment takes away all the normal trigger stimuli which make you want to smoke. The fact it is exciting will help you take your mind off of it. If you are that worried about the nicotine withdrawals, I took the little inhalators with me and tried the tabs, etc. The gum & tabs made my throat swell - the little inhalators were more a fiddly thing - I never changed the cartridges as often as they said I could - I would put 1 cartridge in a day (3-4 cigarettes) then just didnt change the cartridge. But, under the circumstances you describe, you could go cold turkey easily I imagine. It would be more problematic returning to your same smoking environment again @Play_Space - First Birthday Bash THIS FRIDAY -http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/306786/4/...

Being in my third week of not smoking (again), that approach might work to overcome the initial addiction to nicotine but as soon as you go back to your routine, it may be that the cravings come back as strong as ever.
Are you a habit smoker or an addict? Is there an association with a certain activity, ie with coffee or after a meal or is it a pure addiction that gets you at any time? I'm firmly an addict, no regular pattern of smoking until I'm under stress (and that includes having alcohol) then it kicks in within seconds and it's still been there after 6 months Being restricted will certainly help beat the first cravings but a strong mental attitude is what's going to carry you through. Maybe you could combine the isolation with another technique to carry you through? A behavioural psychologist friend advised that the best way to give something up is to replace it in your life, endorphins certainly have addictive qualities to them but what would you do if your craving for nicotine isn't replaced by endorphins when you need them most? I just look on nicotine as the crappiest dominant I've ever had the misfortune to get involved with and my goodness, there's a few dire ones about...You're worth far more than that! Good luck. | |

I quit cold turkey and on my own, but your way sounds more fun.

I have a similar basic plan but there will be some pre prep work done each time she visits until the cold turkey period. Think, eating all ash from anything she smokes whilst in my house. Not being touched until she cleans the smell from her breath. And she knows full well I think she is disgusting simply for the fact she smokes. And that I will think much more highly of her for quitting and controlling her urges. Play and use of her will involve being reminded how she disapoints me for needing to smoke and also how she will please me for giving up the filthy habit. Of course it helps to know that in reality I wouldnt have considered her for long term if I knew she smoked in the first place. She has plenty of incentive. But My concern is she might well enjoy the degradation and humiliation of it all so much she wants it to continue! What to do? What to do? Ho Humm.
The pleasure, I fear, will be all mine. | |

@MichaelCane - Tis no way certain I'll be doing it yet! We've talked about having me write a journal whilst doing it though, which I like the sound of. I might well post an edited version 
@Amazonia_Sidero I've looked into it a bit, after two weeks completely without I should be over the worst cravings etc. It does mean that I have to go completely without though, so no niccorette for me I am worried about getting bitchy and irritating though. I know how bad I can be. @Caracal, I'm an addict, unfortunately. It hit me recently that as I've been smoking regularly since I was 15, I've had 10 years of it. That seems more than enough. I'm hoping that with 2 weeks away to break the cycle, I won't fall back into it. I'll ask someone to clear all the smoking paraphernalia out of my flat and air it out. One of the things I've been looking at is Pavlovian conditioning, having a orgasm after been hit with cravings and not giving in. I am glad to hear that going cold turkey has worked for some folk, fingers crossed with a bit of planning and a wonderful Dom it'll work for me. Rose | |

@nastybstd, your approach does sound interesting, and proper nasty. I can see that working nicely. I'll make sure my Dom sees that post There's good humiliation and bad... eating ash and the threat of being abandoned by one you respect and admire = bad. She'll quit.

I ought to quit smoking, I know, but I do love a nice ciggy (rollups - none of yer 'Rothmans' rubbish). So I've been interested in these electronic ciggy things. They essentially provide the user with a nicotine hit in a vapourised form - so you get all the usual sensations of smoking, but with a great deal less collateral damage. Tried one out recently as was reasonably impressed with it - so it's an option under consideration.
So cool it hurts... | |

I talk as a hynothrapist We all know someone who was a smoker who woke up one day and said "I don't want to smoke today" and stopped and never smoked again. Nicotine only stays in the body for three days. So on day three you are free from nicotine. So after two weeks you will be a non smoker. I would write down why you are doing this? (To be healthy or not to die are not good answers) What will life be like when you stop? What will running be like? What will sex be like? What will play be like. Triggers are an issue. So write down everytime you smoke. When I wake up. When I answer the phone. When I get in the car. When I get out of the car. when I go for a drink etc. On day nine I would start to bring in the trigger points one at a time just so you know you are a non smoker Have fun and good luck |
. It's been very easy this time as I'm not working, got enough money to live comfortably, there's no crappy relationships around me and my nearest and dearest are all relatively well so I'm hoping to keep it that way.
