beating the addiction

[ztrouble]

Been smoke free for 8 days so far. Hope to make it for real this time. I feel like there is a cinder block on my chest but i'm sure it will get better

You are going to have a 10 day headstart on me... quiting on the first... but I know for a fact that I will last at LEAST until may....

[Benner]

been skoal free since sept. 29th here. Only reason I quit was I was loaded on Percucets for about 3 weeks straight after surgery and didn't have any way to get any skoal. Decided afterwards I didn't need it so I quit.

Good for you!

It's a hard thing to do. The hardest thing I've ever done. However, I smoked for 28 years

Keep it up. You'll be happy you did.

I haven't had a cigarette since Jan, 2 2007

Best of luck to you!

Ha... the 2nd is easier depending on what you did on New Years Eve

I was too hung over to quit on New Years Day

You can do it

I quit cold turkey back in Aug 05. Smoke free ever since. It can be done.....

[nhraformula]

i quit smoking for about 4-5 months 2 years back. then i went to vegas for a long weekend and started again.

in order to truly quit, you have to have it in your head. what i mean you really have to have the mindset of not smoking any more. if you only have a have ass mindset about quitting, chances are you will fail.
the patch helps a lot. props to you for quitting!!

[third_shift|studios]

you need to substitute something to aid the quiting too. Be it reading or workign out or whatever you can do to forget it. Think about this: do 100 push ups everytime you want a cig.

J, it depends. i didnt substitute anything for it and did fine.
i planned quitting a week ahead of time. the nite before i planned stopping i put a patch on when i went to sleep. the weird thing was that for the first week when its the hardest to quit, i did fine, i wasnt going nuts craving smokes.
then months later a weekend of debauchery fucked ruined it.

[KahanaReef]

I can't tell you guys how many times I've quit in the past.

The longest was almost 6 months. I was racing BMX at the time. That, plus my son were good incentive. But, as soon as he quit racing, so did I and somehow started up once again.

You really do need to plan and prepare yourself. Plan that quit date and be mentally committed to want to quit.

And, alcohol was always what triggered me to start again. So, this time I had to stop drinking as well. I waited until I hadn't had a cigarette for about 8 months before I felt that I could drink without having a smoke.

It's tough. But worth it. Sometimes I still want a cigarette. But, not as badly as I don't

I can't believe it will be two years on the 2nd

Oh, and I needed the gum to quit. And..... I still use it But, it's far better for me and a clean nicotine

Good luck to you guys trying to quit

[Mr. Luos]

I quit cold turkey 8-9 years ago. I don't remember how long. I was building my first PC, had smokes, just was too pre-occupied to smoke.


No plans on actually starting again.
Good luck!!
