I quit smoking
 

Yesterday.

Its not so bad. At first I wanted to tear the eyeballs out of kittens but I am feeling much better now.

Will I have a worse attitude as time goes on?

good for you man it's the best thing you can do for your health I hope that you keep it up.

best thing to do is,, lock yourself up in a room for 5 weeks... with only water and bread.. the nocotine cravings will be gone after the 5 weeks

That's awesome man. I quit about 6 years ago. Best decision ever...

Actually, the nicotine cravings will be gone in a week. The rest is just residual habit from an oral fixation. Nicotine gets out of your system pretty quick (hence why people smoke so often) and the cravings subside pretty quickly. However, the actual "HABIT" of smoking is what is tough to beat.

At least that's how I've always seen it. And yes, it will get worse. Much worse. Two days ain't shit. 2 years, now you're talking.

congrats. I quit cold turkey January 30th.
took a week to get rid of the cravings, then you have to deal with lifestyle changes. ( IE: smoking after dinner, or when you go out for a drink )
Exercise is also important, I have alot more energy now.
Took me about a month to get used to not smoking, but its all good now.
Best of Luck to you.
:) :thumbsup

Oral fixation?
I do not have an oral fixation!

1 entry found for oral fixation.
Main Entry: oral fixation
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: a desire to have or put something in one's mouth, as in infants; a condition requiring stimulation of the mouth
Etymology: coined by Sigmund Freud

Just because Freud coined the term doesn't mean it has to do with a penis. Or does it? :Oh crap

that's good to hear. congratulations.

Good luck :)

Thank god I never started that shit, I hear it's fucking hell to quit. Who needs that grief...

Awesome, Keep it up man.

You too 5-word post robot! :thumbsup

good for you, good luck :)

Congrats. Keep it up!

Awesome man!! I did too, was off for about 5 or 6 months then got the visit from Ice. started smoking when I was drinking and now I am back to nothing.. Give it 3 months and you will wornder why you ever smoked in the first place.


P.S.
Besides while drinking, or after sex.

I've quit cigarettes for over a month about 5 times since my addiction. The first 3 days are the hardest. I call it the 3 day hump. Once you're past that, you won't be a threat to society ;)

and in stessful situations (i mean, REALLY bad situations, like a death in the family). those are the only 3 times i've found myself thinking of smoking again but i never have since my quit. i cant believe i didnt stop sooner! i love being a nonsmoker now :thumbsup

Congrats

I have 1 year since I quit smoking I feel beter then ever :)

I wish you best of luck :thumbsup :winkwink:

i quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey 1997

i STILL get cravings.

it never really goes away.

once a smoker, always a smoker - the battle is never picking up a cig again.

i havent smoked on in a very, very long time.

even though the smell is disgusting to me, every once in awhile i can still get a craving.

from 2 packs of menthols a day, to zero.

you can do it too.

Congrats Bro. Smoking is a good thing to quit at. Go buy a box of toothpicks.

same here - keep it up, man!

:thumbsup

good to know alienQ...keep it up you're doing great :)

Yeah, I quit 5 years ago. I also get cravings after winter and sometimes during the summer. It's more "thinking about a cigarette" than the usual craving.

its a long battle, don't give into temptation

Keep it up

:smokin

Good for you.

As Bob Marley says: "Dont give up the pipe"

sorry "Dont give up the fight"

CONGRATS

i think the first day is the worst after that is more easy to stop

i quit 5 years ago and now i can smoke one once in awhile and not get addicted, i'm totally over cigs..congrats to anyone who can quit ,its a true test of will power

Congrats! I have cut down to 1-3 cigs per day (down from 1 pack a day last year) but I wish I could quit all together. OH well.

Congrats man. good luck with quiting, I'm sure it will be a rough ride
