I'm quitting smoking! Wanna join? - GoFuckYourself.com

Libertine · 10-20-2002, 12:31 PM

I'm planning to quit smoking tomorrow. Not because smoking will cause me to die sooner, but because smoking costs money, makes your dick shorter, reduces your stamina, and gives bad breath. All facts considered, quitting will cause more and better sex

Anyone wanna join me in quitting?

[Labret] · 10-20-2002, 12:32 PM

Its not punk to quit.

Since when does a punk care whether they have a tiny pecker and stinky breath?

Dildozer · 10-20-2002, 12:33 PM

I'm in in the next few days. Had chest pains and turns out i have brochitis and maybe asthma so no more smoking for me! Got a prescription for the patch, i'm ready baby!

best of luck to you, dude. I quit almost 2 months ago, and only wish I had done it sooner, rather than waiting 16 years.

on a sidenote... so that's why my dick is small? fuck.

Krome · 10-20-2002, 01:04 PM

Fuck it I am in...ten years of smoking...tomorrow seems like good day....I have been thinking about it for a while now.

Smoking costs you 1 to 2 inches

However, they can be regained by quitting

Ok, so far it's me, Dildozer and Krome. Any others want a bigger dick and more stamina?

Actually, that's not true. Most people I know that take punk as far as they can, very seldom get laid. Could be due to the fact that they're ugly fuckers though.

So if i have a 8 inch right now, i could have a 9 to 10 inch dick for quiting smoking?

So when do you guys start up your law suits against the tobacco companies for shrinking your dick and scaring away sex?

I'm quitting w/ my gfriend right now. Have only had 3 cigs today. Down from a pack a day. Let me know how it's going. It's kinda tough, but, I'll get over it.

Anyone here suggest smoking a "non-pot" pipe, as a supliment, to get over the initial cravings?

LOL... Yeah, I should try that. This no smoking thing is tough. I've been smoking for nearly 15 years, never tried to quit. YIKES! I'm going to start freaking out soon, I think. Maybe some Nicorette or something.

BV · 10-20-2002, 06:05 PM

i Have 12 smokes left in my pack now. This sounds like a good idea to quit but I know when I get down to the last one I will start to panic and go buy more...........

They can taste that??

Ehm, anyway, just got up, and for the first time in 5 years, didn't immediately light a cig. This stuff is pretty hard, but doable. Think I'll go buy some nicotine gum or patches now.

This is starting to suck pretty badly. I feel like I'm on drugs right now, all dizzy n stuff. Also, my mood is starting to get worse by the minute. I want to kick puppies and shoot children.

Ludedude · 10-21-2002, 08:46 AM

The mood swings are pretty bad

Hang in there...this is all happening to you because of some drug that's going to kill you! Go to this site www.mWilden.com/QuitTime/ and grab yourself one of the counters for motivation. Get gum, hard candies, twizzlers etc. Anything you can put in your mouth to take your mind off the fact that it's still not getting any nicotine. Celery sticks, carrot sticks are good too...and better for you than candy. I've got a whole damn list of shit I chew on now

Good luck!

Remember, the worst part is the first week....day 3 or 4 are killers but after that it's a piece of cake!

Ron2k1 · 10-21-2002, 08:51 AM

I try to quit smoking almost weekly

Im quiting today, I think I will have to quit drinking too. Because when that Hennessy hits the stomach I HAVE to blaze up!

NoCarrier · 10-21-2002, 10:22 AM

72 hours, that's all you need.

It takes about 72 hours for your body to get rid of nicotine.

I quit cold turkey. I don't believe in taking nicotine to get rid of nicotine. It's all about getting rid of that shit out of your body. Drink lots of water.

I just stopped smoking two days ago

Everything you did as a smoker, you will learn to do at least as well, and maybe better, as an ex-smoker.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Drink plenty of fruit juice the first three days. It not only helps flush nicotine from your system it will also help raise your blood sugar level. Also, divide your body weight by two. Use the resulting number as the number of ounces of daily water that your body and lungs need for proper healing and flushing.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>To help avoid weight gain, eat vegetables and fruit instead of candies and pastries. Celery and carrots can be used safely as short-term substitutes for cigarettes. Smoking was your bodies old cue that your meal had ended. Find a new cue.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>If you are concerned about weight gain, do some moderate form of regular exercise. If you have not been exercising regularly, consult your physician for a practical exercise program which is safe for you.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>If you encounter a crisis, (e.g. a flat tire, flood, blizzard, family illness, finances) while quitting, remember, smoking is no solution.  Smoking will just complicate the original situation while creating another crisis - full and complete nicotine relapse.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Be honest! Truly see yourself as "addicted to nicotine" because you are!  Just one puff and you will either immediately or shortly thereafter experience full and complete relapse back to your prior level of nicotine use <STRONG>or higher</STRONG>. Don?t look at it as taking just "ONE" puff, look at it as taking them all back. Picture them all.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Don?t debate with yourself how much you want a "cigarette."  You don?t crave a cigarette any more than the heroin addict craves a needle. The cigarette and needle are simply drug delivery devices.  What you want is the drug inside.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Save the money you usually spend on cigarettes and buy yourself something you really want after a week or a month.  Save for a year and you can treat yourself to a vacation.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Practice deep breathing exercises when you have a craving.  Breathe slowly and deeply into the bottom of each lung while clearing your mind of needless chatter.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Visualize the challenges ahead (stress, tremendous joy, weight gain, boredom, an accident, a serious illness, the death of a loved one, a funeral, financial problems, the end of a relationship, drinking, extended periods of time around a smoker) and picture yourself successfully overcoming each of them. </FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Climb out of your deep smoker?s rut and begin living your new life.  Engage in activities that require more than an hour to complete and challenge your new body.</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Ask yourself how you?d feel about going back to your old level of consumption. Quitting smoking is one of the few propositions in the world where being 99% successful means 100% defeat.  It?s an all or nothing proposition. If you decide you really want to smoke, please promise yourself that you?ll come to the board and give the group a chance to work its magic.  If feels almost like a slap in the face when a member is bold enough to post after relapse but not courageous enough to post while in crisis.  What good is support for a smoker?  None!</FONT></DIV> <LI> <DIV align=left><FONT color=#FFFFFF>Remember that there are only two good reasons to take a puff once you quit. You decide you want to go back to your old level of consumption until smoking cripples and then kills you, or, you decide you really enjoy withdrawal and you want to make it last forever. As long as neither of these options appeal to you <STRONG>- NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!</STRONG></FONT> __________________ Last edited by NoCarrier; 10-21-2002 at 10:26 AM..
