COLD FUCKING TURKEY...


Nicotine is the most addictive substance known to man.

I've seen junkies quit smack and crack and do okay but you try to make them stop smoking and you've got a fight on your hands!

Smoking should be outlawed. Plain and simple. But because he tobacco companies funnel so much money and dumbass trailer locals say stupid shit like,

" Tobacco put food on the table! "

Fuck that.

I had to go through a 3 step plan to not stop smoking but to CONTOL it.

I can start and stop and that's the big first step. I can do without them and don't chain smoke. Controlling your habit is the first big step to stopping without going nuts.

Take a notepad with you and jot down WHEN you smoke. Time etc. Then jot down WHY you just smoked ( i.e. had a great meal, got pissed off etc. ). If the answer is emotional like anger, stress then it's compulsive. That's the dangerous cycle. That gets you because you do it on reflex instead of choice. It's your body craving it to the point that it's beyond your concious control, the most dangerous of habits.

So you have to first CONTROL when and why you light up and then gradually wean the body to enjoy NOT smoking so that the body will then reject everytime YOU do.

Once control is established you're on your way to either cutting back greatly or stopping cold turkey.
