Quit smoking - day 3
 

So I finally quit smoking after 15 years of smoking roughly a pack a day of marlboro reds.



Last cig was Sat night and it's been a long wacky ride since then.

Basically, I ran out of ciggarettes without realizing it on Saturday so I though to myself, fuckit, I quit. I've never quit before, always too scared to even try cause I am sooooo addicted.

Sunday I basically confined myself to the couch, Monday made myself not leave the house, I knew if I went anywhere I Would immediately buy smokes.

Haven't slept more than a couple hours since Saturday, just sleep in like 1 hour intervals tossing and turning. The wierdest thing about quiting is I swear everything slowed down. Time is moving slower, my days were usually broken up by routines between smoking. Now I have no time refrence... this is so wierd... only smokers know what I mean.


anywhoo.... don't use patches or gum, they just drag out your withdrawel..

knuckle up and go cold turkey baby!



jesus I wish I could smoke.

Hang in there buddy, you can do it. You can do anything you put your mind to.

Good Luck,

I have quit twice. Once for 6 months and once for over a year in my 15+ years of smoking. Learn how to occupy yourself when you would normally take a break and light up. Chew gum, take a walk, eat carrots and celery. Hang in there.

Careful not to beat your dick off

thanx, yeah... I actually used "The secret" method... I can do whatever I want, I can get anything I want.. it's that easy.:thumbsup

What made you start again?

I have to admit in a week I wanna smoke a cig to see what it's like, to see if I can just have 1 and be like "eww this is gross" you know?

We are with you man. You can do it. First period is the worst, so hang in. Good luck.

the worst is no smoke with my morning coffee.. seems like I have no reason to drink coffee anymore.. it's like fucking without cumming.. peanut butter, no jelly, pointless... *sigh*

It sounds great, but you're lucky that you can do this. I have to go to work and (I know it's not a good excuse but) I have to smoke because of the stress I'm living in :)

but there is one thing I can't avoid..the price of the cigarette... that will be my only reason to myself to quit. I hope I can convince myself :)

Good luck to you buddy! We can do it :thumbsup

4 more days will be 4 months for me. Hand in there. One thing that helped me a lot was Jolly Ranchers (any hard candy) and Twizzlers. When I had the craving, I would use one of those.

BTW, I was up to about 2 packs a day and have smoked for 20 years. If I can....anyone can.

good for you, I quit >6 months ago :upsidedow

keep it up

good for you! keep it up!!! i quit almost 4 years now - July will be 4 years!

have you gain weight after you quit?

I've gained 2 pounds so far hehe

so I'll be as fat as this guy? :1orglaugh

today is 6 weeks for me

i did chantix and it made it ohh so much easier

keep it up dude

The easiest way I found was to wait until I had the flu and I didn't feel like smoking for 3 days anyway so I took the opportunity to quit :)

Keep it up man! It's a nasty habit. I quit cold turkey about 8 years ago and opted for a much healthier path. Once you get the stuff out of your system you will be fine.

Go out and buy a case of gum...

you should smoke the last cigarette to enjoy it for really last time , then you can trully quit , just light one !..... :smokin :smokin :smokin

piece of cake you got this :D

i wish i can stop:(

how long till I don't feel like crawling out of my skin from nic fits? I heard 4 days? true??

wow, good for you..hang in there:thumbsup

Good Luck, I tried to quit in Jan before the Vegas Show..not smart.. and yes cold turkey is the way to go..

I've been using the secret for ever and it works..Except for my damn Insomnia!!!

Congrats dude, hang in there!!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :helpme

don't do that,you will start again:helpme I quit 3 months ago, it was hard, but i started runing, so I can take my mind off cigs...I wish you all the best and good luck:thumbsup

goodluck dude... i think you can do it....

even i , im already quite smoking since 3 yrs...

my subtitutions... a bottle of wate

Quitting is a chore, but after day 5 or so, it gets easier. However, i quit for 4 months and got in an argument while drunk and someone gave me a cigarette it was over from there. Also, if you go to the bar, every time you want a cigarette, take a shot... you'll probably get completely drunk and it's possible that you might puke, but at least you'll associate smoking with feeling unpleasant! Wish me luck, today is day number one for me!!

Hang it there, you're doing a good thing

my husband and i did chantix, also. it's almost a month for us without cigs.

while it's not a ride in the park, it's certainly easier with the drugs than without.

been 6 months for me! cold turkey is the only way to fly

That's interesting.. I'll try it this weekend. But the problem is, that after every shot, I'd like to smoke :)

Your doing great! Keep rolling with it, you'll feel better soon.

hehe, well that statement MEANS you aren't using the secret for your insomnia.

Congrats. Stay away from the smoking

Good move. I started smoking at the age of 15 and I'm 36 now. I also used to smoke a pack of the red ones but now I am on day 11 of Nicorette Patches Phase I and so far so good, I feel cleaner :)

good luck man, we're behind you

i was like you , i stoped smoking for 1 week :) after that i said i will smoke just a little and here i am i'm smoker again IMAO

so take my advice don't light more then 1 cigarette :) in 1 day i mean

I tried chantix and wellbutrin to quit. (not together of course)
While taking the pills my cravings were reduced, and I smoked alot less, but I was never able to put them down completely :(

Using the patch was worthless. I put one on the night before, hardly got any sleep and when I did I had some wickedly weird dreams, and the next morning when I got up I lasted about an hour before I ripped the patch off and lit up :(

It sucks to be me

You can do it!

my best wishes
i am nicotine-free for 3 months now

keep it up man..if you do really want to quit then you have to sacrifice..goodluck to you and i know you can make it..:)

Just make sure you do another shot then :winkwink:

Remember this, if you dont stop, you can end up on oxgen

Good on you. Stay strong

It will be 4 months for me at the end of April. I had tried so many times before, did the gum but it gave me heartburn. Did the occasional weekend smoke but ended up smoking a pack in just one night, sometimes more. Finally I just said fuck it, I'm done! So I did the patch for only 1 week to take the worst of the withdrawals and then I went cold turkey. I knew I had success after I went to my first convention and didn't light up once.

PS. I actually dream about smoking sometimes... It's not easy but it's worth it! Keep it up. :thumbsup

its fuckin hard man. i quit about a year or so ago, and my gf quit this last january and shes been smoking for like 11 years. shes doin good, its hard as hell though. :upsidedow

well I smoked half a one yesterday to see what it would be like, I almost passed out and puked... it was like the first time I ever smoked.

And today I don't have any cravings... guess I quit ... yay me!
