I can not believe i wasted my time reading that shit lol

It has been almost a week now. :winkwink:

a nice story .. congrats

A month and a half, for the non-believers. =P

After all we know about smoking, why would anyone in their right mind even start? Been smoke free all my life

Well, i smoke... and dont plan on stopping anytime soon >.<

but good luck

Inspiring.. I should copy that and send it to my smoking friends

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This week I'll be turning a year smoke-free.

Like I said, you have to know me... =)

Cheers to the non-believers. :321GFY

I'm just coming up to 4 months since I quit.

Shit is very hard, I'm on nicotine inhalers...

pretty cool :thumbsup
i used a similar method. i lit incense sticks and pretended those were cigarettes.

I haven't smoked for a month........I weened myself off of it for a long time by purchasing 'singles' at the corner store, which I could buy 3 of them for a dollar...That way, I didn't have to worry about having a whole pack around me.

It's nice to have my lungs back...It's nice to be able to ejaculate a nice amount again...

I don't miss cigarettes at all...I was a fool to smoke them for as long as I did...

A buddy of mine just got a script for that stuff. He was worried about the side effects because suicidal thoughts just came out as a potential side effects.

What kind of side effects, if any, did you experience?

good luck! :pimp

good for you... eversince i haven't smoked...

interesting :)

There's only 1 way to quit: just stop.

Realize that you are a sentient being in control of your actions and the only reason you smoke is because you are a drug addict. Nicotine is an incredibly powerful narcotic and it creates a deep psychological addiction.

Patches, gum, "weening" etc , etc is crap. If you smoke, you are a drug addict.

I quit cold turkey on January 4th 2006. I have never taken a puff of a cigarette since and I never will again because I choose not to.

I've been smoke-free ("cold turkey") since the New Year - made it my resolution. Lets see, its been 2 months then already. I was chewing on toothpicks for a while... now I just tell myself "no" when I have a craving (which is rare at this point). As long as I don't think about it, I'm good. Oh, and I also went thru like a box of tic-tacs a day at first - those helped. :)

Six weeks without smoking here, without doing any drugs and without eating any unhealthy food also. Feels great!

nice , stay strong!!!!

Good job! 1 year is great. I've been mostly smoke free for the year besides when drunk. I don't have any cravings when sober... strange. Probably a mental association or something. Anyways, My goal is to not smoke at all when partying since now.

I've already noticed a lot of improvement with my breathing and gas when running or climbing stairs. It's great. Also I don't stink anymore.

P.S.: If anyone quit, I would suggest them to have a cleaning at their dentist after a month or so. It's a nice reward and you feel great afterwards. You can also whiten your teeth right after the cleaning if you wish.

Hmm lets see I started smoking when I was 14.....about 2 packs a day,quit cold turkey last easter have not had one since. I don't even crave them. No gum, No patches, No shots. But I do crave the blood of my co-workers but that is another story for another time.

I should read this thread but I wont right now...I'll go buy my Nicorette from Walmart soon.

I had my hopefully last smoke on sunday .. I have quit before . managed around 8 months or so then just slowly started again with one a week . . then one a day . . then just .. . you get the drill


this time I am seriously going to go for it though .. has been 4 days now .. still going strong ! ! wish me luck

A year and a half bitchesssss!!! lol

Hey Rush, 2 days is okay but it doesn't give you a trophy! You have got a LONG way to go. i wouldn't start celebrating until it's been 6 months.

I quit cold turkey after smoking 2 packs a day for 6 years and never looked back, that was 2 and a half years ago. Will power goes a long way

I forget where it's from, but someone says, "I'm on the 12 step program, the first 11 steps are bullshit and the 12th one is that you quit"

:thumbsupcongrats.. good for you!:thumbsup

Congrats but you have to be strong especially when you are out to a club with everybody smoking around.

Read the post just before yours and check the dates. :thumbsup

:thumbsup!

In June i've been smoke free for 4 years.

The best $400 i have ever spent :thumbsup:thumbsup

Way to not even read the thread you fucking troll..

Congrats on staying without for so long Rush! :thumbsup

well, 2 days smoke free is great, but certainly means absolutely nothing. Good luck man though..it's HARD to quit.

it's good for u. congrats

congrats!!

Few people read threads. =(

Dude, wake up you idiot........ listen to Bogo.

2 days is nothing so why are you patting yourself on the back already? Come and tell us this story in 5 years time. I personally quit in 2000 and have been smoke free since then and guess what? I still have a 10 pack in my car, the same ten pack I didnt smoke when I quit smoking in 2000. They're still in the pack and ill never smoke them.

LOL this thread is an amazing study in whether people read the thread or just skim for whatever they want to find.

Congrats, _Rush_ :)

lol. Learn to read.

Congrats Rush. It's been about 3 months for me.

good luck man

best of luck to you
stay strong!

Well OK...... sorry 1.5 yrs is respectable.

But I dont think anyone can really claim to have quit unless theyve got a full 5 yrs or more under their belt smoke free. Course it helps living in a country where people can't smoke in pubs, clubs, restaurants, etc etc

Good for you

The negative effects of smoking begin to disappear the moment you quit.

At 20 minutes after quitting:

* Blood pressure decreases
* Pulse rate drops
* Body temperature of hands and feet increases.

At 8 hours:

* Carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal
* Oxygen level in blood increases to normal

At 24 hours:

* Chance of a heart attack decreases

At 48 hours:

* nerve endings begin regrowth
* ability to smell and taste improves


And etc etc etc in that fashion.
