Random Cravings?!

[Shan-Nav01]

Recently for no reason that I can work out I've really really wanted a cigarette- I've never smoked before, my dad used to when I was growing up but stopped when I was 11ish. So it's not as if I'm craving something that I've given up or anything! It's just quite frustrating!


Does anyone else have unexplained cravings (ignoring pregnancy cravings, although up for hearing any random ones!) also does anyone have any idea as to why??

I wonder if it's more of a craving for risk taking or danger? What do you think?

I will crave various excessive extremes- too much exercise or sleep, too many shots of espresso (or vodka), too much isolation, too many new clothes.

That's really weird. Do you think you could be mimicking his behavior for some reason -- I'm stressed / feel like shit / hate my life, I'll smoke -- ?

If you were stressed or something, I would say that maybe you were looking for something outside yourself to fix or change the inside of yourself.

Or maybe if you were in unusual circumstances or a different location, you are remembering a former life!

I am glad if you didn't pick up a cig. I did when I was 14 and ... sigh.

I have been know to be like this. I have picked up a cigarette and smoked it as i craved it and didnt care of consequences. After i had done it the crave never came back just moved on to something else. I take alot of risks and do alot of extreme sports as part of this to. Could be something to do with it. Maybe not.

That's not something I had considered but kind of makes sense... I already do a lot of rock climbing and kayaking and stuff so apparently I like danger!

Thanks for the replies. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's really strange! I've just moved house and have a job interview on Friday so slightly more stressed than usual, but that normal just means a harder climbing session!
