Hookah Hiatus

[Apets22]

So Ive decided Im burning through Shisha and Coals way to damn fast and I dont have the money to replenish my stash that fast. I have maybe 10-15 Cocos left, in a box that I bought a week ago. And have a bout 3 bowls worth of shisha left.

So after finishing my bowl of AF Orange (one a side note, becoming one of my favorite flavors), I made a decision that I needed to stop for a few days. Im only requiring myself to not smoke for today, tomorrow and saturday; but I would like to go for a week straight. But for me, sunday afternoon hookah + Lions Football = Win (even though the Lions wont, Ill enjoy it). So I thoroughly cleaned my hookah, put it in the closet with my remaining shisha and coals.

Its been a sad day.

So, talk about the times youve taken off smoking hookah. Voluntary break? Involuntary? Reasons? How fantastic was your first smoke after the break? etc etc.

I actually stopped smoking cigs for a month because I felt like I was getting addicted, and because the girlfriend didn't like me smoking. Note I smoked about a pack every 3-4 days so it wasn't bad like some of my friends who smoke 3 packs a day, but for me it was getting there. Now that I broke it off with the woman, I'm back to smoking my pack every 3-4 days. One of the great things about quitting smoking is that when I smoked my hookah in that time I got one hell of a buzz. Good luck with your plight sir.

Also on a quick note, the first cig after that was like the last time we had sex, rough but so so satisfying. Edited September 18, 2008 by Cerberus

I actually stopped smoking for about a month or so December '07 becuase (1) I went to Japan for a while and (2) I stayed with my parents the rest of the break, even though they said I could bring my hookah if I wanted to I told them that it was no big deal and I would survive.

The only reason I knew I could handle it is because before being there I was on the other side of the planet from my hookahs and I did fine lol.


The first smoke back was fucking amazing. Love it.

Well, from last summer until July, it was an easy 3-6 bowls a night about 5 or 6 nights out of the week. Well that was a friend's house that everyone would chill out, Hookah's were always set up and I usually brought mine. But due to some nonsense and some friends moving away, there is no central place for everyone to meet. So it's turned into a hookah maybe once a week for me.

Dude I know your pain, but honestly, it's probably b/c you're making yourself stop, think how awesome it'll be when you start back.

Yeah, sometimes it's completely worth it to hold off for a week and then relish in a shisha binge over the weekend.

Yeahhhh man. I ususally smoke one round of coals on a head after class, take a nap, smoke another round of coals while doing homework, and it helps me get by. Then a little later at night Ill sometimes smoke another head, watch some TV read a book, etc etc.

But with out that its killlllling me.

[Apets22]

Well, I broke it.

Had to much alcohol im system to resist the sweet taste of hookah...

I suck...

[Bulldog_916]

Suuuuure blame it all on the booze.

I get pissed at myself if I go over 2 bowls a week. Conservation of resources is vital right about now.

Haven't smoked in a bout.... A week tomorrow. It's been easy. I didn't really want to stop, Im just bummed on the AF I have right now.
Someone trade me some fusion or Tangiers? haha.

well I have pretty much stopped smoking from 4-5 times a week to once every 2 weeks and its so good every time I smoke after a while. I also have gone on a 4 month break pretty much because I didn't have my own hookah and when I did later I didn't have much of the opportunity cuz even though my parents are ok with smoking it in the house they don't want me to do it too frequently and 1-2 times a week is too frequent for them. However now its so much better because I can smoke hookah on campus since it is no longer banned so I will probably be smoking at least like 3 times a week, most probably every Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Anyway in my opinion if you really can not stop smoking hookah for a week and I mean you really really really have to smoke than its an addiction however if you break it because you are not in full control (you have some alcohol in your system) than its fine if you did break it.
