Ramadan Mubarak to all my fellow brothers.

May you have a happy and generous one despite not being able to celebrate as usual.

I know man. I’ve been trying for ages. I ain’t a light smoker either. Though I’m determined to do it now for good.

Read the Easy Way by Allen Carr. You can flick through it at leisure; I didn't even finish it. Worked a treat.

How many hours do you guys fast these days?

Sunset to sunrise, so varies depending on where in the world you are.

I know this, just wondering about the UK

Iftar is when you can break your fast.

No way this is why breakfast is called breakfast.

My mind has been blown.

Hmm, not sure if you're joking............

 

[Deleted member 66701]

No

No what?

 

[Deleted member 66701]

No what? No no no yes? Huh?

You're weird

 

[Deleted member 66701]

Yes. So is not eating when hungry, but we all have our things.

Restraint re food is quite a common theme in many abrahamic religions, i.e. Christians giving up something for Lent, not eating meat on Good Friday etc.

I presume, you are thinking I'm having a dig?

I voiced my opinion, if that's wrong then please say so. Or is it because its about something religious... makes having an opinion taboo?

Just posting "No" was an opinion?

No, it’s because you’re being antagonistic.

Coming in to a thread to mock someone’s belief/behaviour (regardless of which religion) is stupid. Unless you intended to cause a fuss I can’t see how those posts aren’t meant to be interpreted as a wind up.

You’ve been asked kindly to stop. Thanks.

if you have a physical job are you allowed to use some sort of substitute to food like protein shake or something in the day time?

If you eat properly outside of your fast you won't struggle even with a highly physical job.

Good on you for still participating! I brought a lady from Morocco over to my team the year before last and she really soldiered through on the social side of things.

 

[Deleted User 298457]

How much did she cost??

You should really check your posts before hitting reply

fixed.

Ngl, it’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve done. Finally admitted that I am/was an addict. Something which has hit hard tbh.

Thanks for the moral support broski.

Take the time to read 'the easy way' by Allen Carr. It's available on pdf. Really really really recommend it. Game changer to understand what's going on. Not a stop smoking book but an awareness of why you smoke book. Resonated massively with everyone I've recommended it to that actually took the advice to prove me wrong (but I've been proved right).
