I'm almost at the fourth day. No need to smoke at all. This whole "nicotine is addictive" this seems to be complete bullshit, at least in my case. By now I should be crawling the walls or tied down to the bed so that I couldn't smoke, Trainspotting style. However, I'm just leading the same life I had without smoking. It's weird, but it's happening.

It's a shame I thought I was going to suffer more since that's why it took me so long to quit.

See if you can last a year and then make this post.

I went out with some friends on Saturday and got pretty drunk. Didn't touch a cigarette. The whole drunk thing was my main threat to my plan. Fortunately, I'm still smoke-free and hope to remain like this for a long time.

good for you....

wow dude.. good luck with that.

Although, if you've never quit before, and you were going to have trouble getting through one night with 12 cigarettes, i'm betting you're either a freak for not wanting a smoke, or you still have enough nicotine to last you another year.. :1orglaugh

Good luck though

I only ever smoked when i would go out to a club or something. Was stupid though, because i hated the smell from it and always regretted it the next day.

Haven't smoked in months now, and don't ever get cravings for it either.

Keep it up !! :thumbsup

Congratulations for quitting and good luck. My mother at 61 just went her first month smoke free since she was like 16. She said I was her inspiration since I quit drinking almost 1 year ago ;)

best of luck, I too have cut down on smoking alot, and have been feeling much fitter than usual, and have much more energy. I have also been watching the scare campaigns they air on most stations in aus, about the effects and harms of smoking, and they certainly help me think about my next smoke...

Good luck! That's saving 2-2.5k a year right there. Awesome job. :thumbsup

Nice and wise post. Clever to stop while still being healthy...

Anyway, I've smoked only a few cigs in my life...and I won't do it much more

Good for you!

Day 2 of quitting here.

2 days
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 >.<

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
