Hearthstone helped me quit smoking!

I was bedridden with pneumonia for about a week. I couldn’t smoke cigarettes during that time, obviously. The benefit of that was whatever nicotine withdrawal I had got covered up by how terrible the pneumonia was making me feel.

BUT...that didn’t change the “going outside for a smoke once every hour at work” habit I had formed over the years. When I got better and started working again...that habit kept occupying my thoughts.

So my new rule became...whenever I want a cigarette, play a game of HS instead. I don’t know that it would work for anyone else, but it did the trick for me. Now, instead of 6-8 cigarettes per work day I’m playing 6-8 games of Wild Spell Hunter.

I know this isn’t the typical post for r/hearthstone, but I wanted to share something great that HS did for me with the community.

Completely unrelated to my post, does anyone have any suggestions on breaking my Hearthstone habit? /s
