im quitting cigarettes tonight!
 

my daughter asked me why i like smoking so much and that's fuckin it... no more. i smoked when I was younger but no fuckin longer...

you will fail

ha, ha... yeah man maybe... but i swear to fuckin god right at this moment i had an ephifony. I actually don't wanna smoke any more... i'll let ya know

ephifony --> Epiphany.

Besides that, good luck. It's not easy... My father had been smoking since he was about 10, his father would make him light cigarettes for him, long story short, he told him to do it right he had to hold an open flame to it and take a puff or two... Thats how he got started.

Good luck with that,I tried and tried,I gave up

i tried 2 weeks ago.. was good up until this weekend :(

train yourself to smoke only in pub or at party, once or twice per week, thats a good way :winkwink: btw for me its working like for 4 months or so :winkwink:

Good Luck :)

Spend some time reading up on the side effects if you're going to go that route PLEASE.

I had some serious bouts of depression on that drug, and "suicidal ideation" is one of the listed side effects.
I know it's worked for some people and great for you if you're smoke free now....but for anyone thinking about taking it, it would be good to not live alone or have other problems going on in your life at the time. :2 cents:

They key is to know you will have a slip up here and there and not beat yourself up over it.

If you break down and smoke a cig or two, just think about it for a minute and move on. Don't beat yourself up or tell yourself it's impossible.

Smoking is very hard to quit because there are virtually no immediate consequences for starting back up again. The nicotine isn't that powerful of a drug, it's just there is really no downside for starting back up and your brain knows it. If you are trying to quit crack or something, usually after a few attempts you think of all the horrible failures, the money you stole, the family you lost, the friends you lost, the arrests, and you quit. Smoking has none of that. Just get over the mental part of it and the drugs hold only lasts about a week.

Quitting smoking is 99% mental, the nicotine is very weak in relation to other drugs.

I just was in a instatution for 2 weeks no smoking or fresh air breaks even. The patch worked well and my habbit is about 4 packs a day on a up 24 hours straight oking out side is good for day..

smoking out side is good too.. try to not smoke in your house..

I had not a problem with nicotine withraw but i swear i never get a urge it was all the action of smoking that was imbeded in my head/

goodluck mike!

i quit a couple of months ago, never looked back :)
Been smoking since i was 13 and 40 a day since i was 18 or so

i wish you good luck

I managed to quit after reading Allen Carr´s book. And I was a heavy smoker. It wont be easy, but it will be A lot easier when you realize that cigarettes wont make you feel better or more relaxed, cigarettes will only ease your nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
And non-smokers feel like that always.

"the nicotine is very weak in relation to other drugs"

According to several studies, nicotine is more addictive than any drug. But the difference is in withdrawal symptoms, nicotine causes only very light withdrawal symptoms when heroins symptoms are like hell.

good luck :)

good luck! :thumbsup

Best of luck man! :)

smoking is so fucking weak watching someone smoke is grounds for me to punch them if i've had a beer or two in me to inhibit the fear-of-jail part

I will join you, best of luck

i was yesterday at therapy with lasers and no luck,lol am still smoking:(

:1orglaugh

My wife and I quit on the 3rd of this month. The first week is the hardest, after that it's all discipline.

Good luck ;)

Do you want her to smoke when she's older ? Of course not. So for her sake, give up the smoking, and set a good example.

You can do it !! :thumbsup

Tht is a great decision...go for it...

Great man! Good luck!

To quit is easier than you can imagine... you´ll see...

it's hard to do that

Best of luck, I gave up 15 years ago. Just stopped outright. You may feel lousy for some weeks but after the intitial hump you'll start to feel better. It's worth it and why not squirrel away the money you'll save and treat yourself in a years time? You'll be surprised how much you've saved!

good reason to quit:thumbsup

so hows going man? i cant see you here today maybe somewhere shaking in the corner ... ? :) oh sorry just a try for a joke, wish you best with stop smoking! :thumbsup

I tried too and i failed :(

Good luck!!

Hey good luck...I quit and I've had a few relapses on nights out with my smoker friends but it's not often enough to call myself a smoker. When I first quit I used cocktail straws to gnaw on for that hand to mouth thing. It's worth a try.

Your avatar is making me hungry!

damn that was yesterday if he quit hes a un happy camper by now

good luck, I will be trying to quit myself in a few days. You just need to be ready, mentally. Don't take a single puff or you will just fall back on the wagon

My 5 year old son asked me to quit, stopped smoking for 3 weeks and i must say it's pretty damn easy as well..
It really is a state of mind.. if you really want it you will succeed..

did any of you weaklings succeed at this?

mind over matter! good luck!

Can't think of a more motivating reason to kick the habit than your kids!

Well I didn't want to post this but broke down around 3:30. I cleaned my entire house... drank coffee all day and felt a bit ill.

I've had two since... better then almost a pack by this time but didn't do it. Enrolled my daughter in her first Karate class today and think I'm going to take some as well.

Smoking makes me feel shitty, nicotine residue on my toungue, costly and I just have to get rid of them.

A good friend of mine died past Saturday of lung cancer.. 2 weeks ago he was diagnosed and past away Saturday night.. Another motivation to stop.

I quit smoking 3 weeks ago and i have real short moments were i want to smoke a siggie, but they pass in a few seconds.. they come in real short waves.. but after a week or so they come less and less..

Don't worry, if you can't quit smoking, eventually smoking will quit for you.

One word: chantix. Get someone to write you an Rx.

Well done and do it for her as much as for you. I have life long chest issues that weren't helped by being around a smoking parent for so many years.

put up a damn fight mmcfadden dont let it beat you

good luck man!

Tomorrow they rise the price to $7 in cali, so, I bought 3 cartons today ;)

hopefully you can stay away from the cigs
