Wish me luck...

Last cigarette is burning now... (I hope) :thumbsup:thumbsup


:helpme:helpme

Go for it and stay strong... it is not easy :)

the gym really helps for cravings.. so going for a run might work pretty well

If you stay off the cigs for a few weeks I'll remove my avatar that steals your soul

Oh I thought you were really really quitting smoking :)

you'll be back smoking again man.....i tried quit so many fucking times....its tough as hell

Good luck to you bro. Need to quit the damn things myself too.

good luck

Support a brutha :)

Hater :(

Nah it's very do-able with a plan in place, dont listen to the negative nellies.

I smoked even after my heart attack for a time, but I still did manage to quit for good. :) If I can, anyone can.

On Friday? That's self-confidence!

I just visited a friend who just survived a heart attack a month ago (Jan 09). The doctors say it was 100% from smoking. Not from diet or anything.

When you smoke it constricts your arteries, so blood cant get thorough.
So he was telling me he was at Mass General and the doctor was going up his body with a wire (or whatever) they put in his leg that went up to his heart to try and open his arteries up more, WHILE HE WAS AWAKE. He said he felt like his chest was going to burst. He said the whole ordeal was very painful, from the heart attack to the medical work done.

He said he threw the fucking cigarettes out. He's had health scares and gone to Mass General from smoking before, I think he has a minor stroke once, but this time he's really lucky to be alive.

Lots of luck to you Im trying the zyban way and its not working that great I cut back a lot but still smoke everyday :X

Good luck hun.


:)

Monday will be 1 month for me :thumbsup
Not even half as hard as i thought it would be

good luck. I'm gonna recommend once you get to 10 days never cheat. one cig ends up being a pack and then your right back to where you started the addictions comes back quicker then it left.

I quit 11 days ago. Smoked for over 15 years, and it was easy ... funky trick, but it worked. I went to the store and bought Hawkens (bubble gum of smokeless tobacco), every time i wanted a cig, i had a dip. 2 tubs total ... 2nd one is still more than half full, and its been 5 days since i wanted that shit either. No smoking, no dip, no shit. It worked for me, might not work for you ... but either way good luck.

You should not say "I am quitting smoking today" but "I am quitting smoking for the rest of my life". :)

Good luck with it...it's all about realizing that most of the agony from not smoking is merely from the addiction TO smoking and the nicotine and that it will be gone if you tough through the first few days.

4 Hours no shakes or jitters yet... tonight will be a fun test, going out drinking...

goood luck to you.

Completely agree, tried to quit before, all cold turkey, starting to exercise and run a lot, i havent had a cig in 3 weeks

You'll be back,they try but the urge is too strong *Cough Cough*

duuuuuuude, this is when you are gonna want a smoke the most. keep one of those red straws in your drinks and chew on the end of it while holding most of it. you need a replacement to get you through. you can do it, talk to AJ from Loaded Cash. he quit right before the Vegas show in Jan. and didn't fuck up once during the show. he was wearing a patch as i recall. Beth will back you up. she should come up with a sexual reward and a punishment system for you. make the process fun for yourself

ahahahha :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

first fight with that XXXX and you'll be smoking a shit load you fucking XXXXXX go XXXX yourself XXXXXX XXX stupid XXXXXX

I quit about 5 years ago, but not before getting a cronic case of COPD. Since then my life has been down hill in that department.

If you smoke, think about smoking, or just stopped ... Remember this, the shit does fuck ya up

LetMeKnowHowThatGoes.com

I used to smoke two packs a day. Now I only smoke when I am mega wasted.

I am sure that if I can stop, you can too.

Now drinking that's another story.......

Almost 8 hours... this shit's easy...

Wait until you have a few beers when you go out :Oh crap

i just went out and bought another pack
:( :( :(

lung cancer took my dads life. I wish you success with quitting.

Drinking acidifies the urine.. like stress does... causes nicotine to leave you more quickly. Once you're out of withdrawl, urine acidifying goes un-noticed. 90% of people who try nicotine replacements fail at quitting. Smoking only "feels good" because nicotine has a 30 minute half-life. So as a smoker, you're in beginning stages of withdrawl 90% of the time. Then something bad happens, the stress makes you lose nicotine and go into withdrawl. You smoke thinking it helped that or felt good. But it only helped or felt good because it got the withdrawl off of your back.

Get the injector needle and buy the solution by the bottle
!!Buy extra atomizers!!

The smoke is SMOOTHE AS HELL and you won't even ever want to smoke a harsh terrible combustion cigarette, again, do that for a week and a regular cigarette will make you gag.

Smoking causes pancreatic cancer.

don't give up!
i'm cig free for about 6 months now and I love it :thumbsup

Closing on 12 hours...

I've smoked on and off for about 30 years and I quit on Monday. I am now on day 6 with no cigarettes. I'm using Chantix and it helps a lot...takes the edge off for sure. I'm taking it one day at a time right now and so far have not cheated once. I keep telling myself "I can beat these little bastards" and you can too...

not being able to quit smoking shows you are weak minded. i cant GET ADDICTED to shit because i get bored of it fast.

don't hope, DO.

I quit cold turkey years ago, have control over your body.

arent those pills just nicotine, so its like having a cigarette anyway lol

tv personalities chew that gum between commercials lol because they cant smoke a cig, its just nicotine.

omg here comes fletch about how he quit everything and eats veggies WE GET IT

Stay strong!

No...CHANTIX tablets contain the active ingredient, varenicline (as the tartrate salt), which is a partial agonist selective for α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes.

An agonist is a drug that binds to a receptor of a cell and triggers a response by the cell. An agonist often mimics the action of a naturally occurring substance.

An agonist produces an action. It is the opposite of an antagonist which acts against and blocks an action.

-- Bill

i have always thought it was silly to use drugs to stop using drugs.

but hey good luck, you can do it without the pills.

I was going to say something smart-assed - but honestly, he's just not worth the trouble.

to me? for encouraging doing something without using drugs to do it?

lol

i can tell by the post count of this thread i have trolls who are on ignore posting, i dont see what they post, so i dont know whats going on above me... thats cool, but theres no reason to get negative because i encourage quitting smoking without using drugs.

best of luck! never been a smoker myself
