I certainly plan to..! I feel much better now that I've quit!

:winkwink:

Good luck man... I'm needing to quit soon myself. Gotta get the balls to set a quit date.

The gf is a smoker too so I'd like us to set a date together... otherwise I question the chances of it being successful and I'm sick of TRYING to quit.

Time to shit or get off the pot, I guess.

Good luck! Your're kicking a bad habbit that fucks with your body as much as it fucks with others. I know it's hard to quit, but it'll be worth it in the long run! :thumbsup

"Cigarette smoking (try other stuff, yeah know!) is dangerous to your health" well, what more can i say!:thumbsup

1st day was easy, 2nd day was hard and today so far I want to fucking punch something and I am eating like a fucking horse.

I have attempted to go to the mini mart a couple times now for a pack of cigs but the wife whines and cries when I attempt to so fuck it, guess I got more then 1 mom in this life telling me what to do, anyway yes I am cranky, are you cranky as hell too? LOL

well im not cranky but im acting fucking weird...lol...stress i guess and the witdrawal of it all.

I find it gets hard late at night when i enjoy smoking the most I guess.
Went to a concert last nite, thank god it was no smoking in that place cause I would have been so DONE!
I cant even be near the smell as it provokes all kinds of whackiness at this point...Guess it gona be like this for the next short while.
I also started the gym again after few mnths of not going...Only doing cardio for now just to kinda cleanse myself and eating better too....I also feel like I need to break stuff and punch shit thank god for the lil excersice in the morning or I would be very fucked!

Ill keep bumping this thread everyday with a lil update as long as I dont crack...Which I shouldnt.

Pretty much at this point your 3 days ahead of where you were n sunday so having a smoke now would just set you back another 3 days of pain & frustration!

Fuck it, keep strong and you will make it!

I NEED A DAMN CIGARETTE!!!!!

Man I am going insane here I think hahaha

dude, what are you talking about - to quit smoking is really an easy and simple thing to do...
I mean most smokers had done it thousands times, right :)

good job guys, keep it up. Fight the power!

Good luck Tom. I quit 2 months ago. I woke up and said, im not going to smoke anymore and stopped. I smoked 2 packs a day and have smoked for 12 years. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL QUIT IS WHEN YOU WANT TO. Do not quit just becuase everyone else is doing it or asking you too, you have to want to quit yourself. It is not hard when you really want to quit. The only thing that helped me take the edge off the first couple days was gum. I worked out alot (lost 20 lbs.) drank alot of caffine and banged the shit out of the wife to get all my extra engery out ;)

Good luck to all here, you can do it!:thumbsup

well he just left probably off to get a pack of cigs this is so sad because he has made it for almost 5 days now:( Oh well

The morons making jokes in this thread should think about the fact that nicotine is a legal drug addiction that will will 5 million people a year. Next time you light one. Think about the millions of families that suffered from tobacco last year..

On the day of Bryan's death, June 3, wife Bobbie and son Bryan keep a bedside vigil. The recent photo of father and son is on the bed.<br />
<br />
Bryan Curtis started smoking at 13, never thinking that 20 years later it would kill him and leave a wife and children alone. In his last weeks, <font color="red">he</font> set out with a message for young people.<br />

Bryan Lee Curtis, then 33, holds son Bryan Jr., 2, in this March 29 photo. Curtis would die about two months later. <br />
<br />
When I first read this article, I decided to quit smoking.<br />

After the graveside service June 8, this friend and a handful of relatives light up.</font></p>

Good Luck :thumbsup

What is sad is that is exactly what my 70 year old grandmother who just died of emphazima in august:(

get a 2x4 and smash it over his head!!!!

fuck hes half way there....no sense it going back!
Shit im on day 5 with less than 45 minutes of sleep last nite and 45 minutes of cardio at the gym this morNing!

ps tell him its cause of him that I quit!

Support!!!!!!

:thumbsup


ps.. those pix are disturbing....

He hasn't opened them yet thank god so for that I am proud of him:) That old looking guy in the bed looks like what my grandma did right before she died:( Hard to bieleve he is only 33:( I have been a non smoker for 6 months. I feel so much better and can breath better as well:)

Yes I bought a pack, haven't had one yet, they are sitting here on my desk unopened.

At least this way when I am ready to give up, if I do, I will have them right here and won't have to run out at 3am and get some.

It's a proven fact that the average smoker tries to quit 12 times before succeeding.

well, i can see you will be lighting up soon enough since you bought the pack, so I guess you already made a choice.

seiously consider not lighting up tho man.
its an endless battle, you need to try and keep so fucking busy that you dont even have a chnace to light up..hell i havent smoked anything in 4 days and I usually smoke a pack and a couple spliffs a day. Do some exercise while your at it....in 5 more days you will feel alot better and i mean a hell of alot better!

It will still hurt but it will dimish a little...it will always be a struggle tho, best to keep that in mind.
The only time i have been craving a smoke is late a t night cause i cant fuckign sleep anymore..waking up in cold sweats and shit...
o god what a nightmare, fuck i cant even relax anymore and its only been a few days.

btw i have quit 3-4 times before but never for more than 6 mnths... i think im done tho, my mind wants it - so it will get it -


btw

Fight The Cravings and good luck!

:thumbsup

Good read! I gotta quit.

if he wouldnt sit infront of the computer 24/7 he wouldnt feel so tempted:( I would go walk with him if he wanted to :(

Valerian and St Johns Wort are a good natural help to relax your
jaw and get rid of the constant tension of the crave. Once this
has past the rest is fairly easy, just gotta never smoke ever
again... ever again... ever again.

Make sure you get quality extracts tho, most pills are just a scam
with nothing much really in them. Thursday Plantation here in
Australia has great quality stuff.

-Ben

p.s. Don't take St Johns Wort with party drugs. It's kinda like an
MAOI.

-Ben

make him MOVE!!!!
Hell go places you cant smoke and keep busy, im telling you when your busy and dont have time it helps ease the situation and the time passes.
Try going to the movies twice a day if you have to lol...( cant smoke there)

It doesnt make it easier but it does make time lapse faster and hours turn into days...next thing you know its been a week...
Ive been craving like mad, but i just wont give in!!!!

i saved 40$ already in 4 days!
hell that like 4k a year!
tobacco companies dont really need my money to make money, but they sure are lining it their pockets well with everyone elses little daily contribution...



ps i still have half a pack of smokes at home, so having them doesnt mean you need to smoke em...keep that pack closed and your hands and minds BUSY!
