I had 2 failed attempts last year. I'm going to try again this year, and am trying to get my girlfriend to quit with me, but she has no desire to which will make it extremely difficult.
My next major resolution is to lose 40 more lbs. Lost about 30 since september
I switched over to cigars then slowly reduced the amount of cigars I smoke... theres WAAY less crap in them... but you can still get your fix out of them and its much easier to taper off them.
The patch in combo with regular gum worked for three months for me. Then I lapsed... Hard... Though, I really think that there is something to the patch. That is the way to go. It's just that whenever I quit my throat and lungs act a fool.
Now you have to smoke 3 times as much a your are now behind about 3-5 packs PUFF PUFF here we go...........
True... before my first attempt to quit I was only smoking about a pack or so per week. After my second attempt I got up to a pack a day and have been doing that for a while. Right now I'm at approx 3 packs per week. Gotta quit this shit!!!

Rreally? This is a interesting idea... I cant use the patch, it makes me feel like i just drank 60 cups of coffee.. I get wigged out of my mind...LOL
Tell me more... How do you get the fix?, I thought you dont really inhale cigars cause it can make you trip..LOL
Tell me how you were able to quit cigarettes using cigars, like details... Man it would be nice to be able to get off these things, but i also have the same issue as SmutGiant.. My girl has no desire to quit so it wont be easy for me with her smoking...
How many cigars were you smoking, what kind of cigar did you smoke, how long do you smoke the cigar, as opposed to the way you puff down a cigarette, etc..
It took me 3 honest tries to quit drinking & I'm a recovering alcoholic with 15+ years sober. It took me 2 tries to quit doing blow, but it took me 24 years to quit smoking and I tried to quit every fucking morning - now I have 3+ years smober.
One thing helped more than anything... you gotta decide if you're a smoker or not. I'm not, but I'm still having trouble breathing from when I smoked. Now I just gotta handle that food thing.
Originally posted by nathan_f I found myself at the store buying smokes. Why, oh why am I so weak to nicotine.

Dude, they can get people off of herion and morphine, but they cant get anyone off nicotine. Its a wicked drug.. Stronger than we think.. Can anyone say Government control? LOL
