Alright, so just got home from school, and I haven't smoked since yesterday. I've had some cravings, as expected, but I've so far resisted the urge to go buy a pack. It's not too bad so far, but I bet it'll get worse as time goes by. I'm still very confident I can stop! I want to say thanks to all the encouraging words from the other blogpost. Helped me quite a bit this morning when I really wanted a smoke. Anyway, I'll just update this if I get any more thoughts.    | ||

I highly recommend buying some nicotine gums or patches because they help a lot the first month or so. You need to last atleast 3 months until you overcome the physical craving completely and atleast a few years to say your completely addiction-free. I still sometimes want one when I'm having a drink or stressed though. | ||

the first 3 days are the hardest, but once you get to day 4 its smooth sailing. I can give you advice that worked for me. Dont fool yourself into thinking that you are strong enough to handle being around smokers for the first week. Stay away from temptation. Throw all your empty boxes, lighters, ashtrays (however cool they were) and cigs away, or donate them to your favorite charity. Keep yourself busy. At all times. Play a shit load of starcraft or games that need a shit load of thinking when you crave. Try not to advertise that you are trying to quit. Some people will say shitty things that will bring you down. Drink shit tons of water. Sleep alot. Try to stay away from booze for a while. I know that nothing beats a smoke with a beer. But dont. Lastly dont give up. | ||

Lastly dont give up. wow I would do it the complete other way arround. 1. Go buy apack of cigs and place em well available to you if you can resist that you wont have any problem. 2. stay arround smoker all the time they will make fun of you but if you can resist that you wont have any problem. 3. keep memorable stuff so you can archiv it as memory and no present. look at them from a "ooh I remember one time" standpoint. 4. try to not eat a lot of snacks (generally eat less than usual) as you will get fat fast. I did it like that my dad did it like that (he ate a lot of snacks and got a lot of weight) and my friends also. Its about your personal strength that you need to build. you need to get into your head that you wont smoke even if you are arround smokers or the possibility of smoking. If you keep stuff aways from you it will help you maybe through the first few days but after that it wil be harder. Just try to 14CC it if your good it will ride you through the rest of your life withouth having to be a fanatic non smoker after. | ||

Anyone else quitting stuff? Maybe for New Years? I should quit drinks I think. They are bad. Not that I drink very much. ![[image loading]](http://www.theinductive.com/storage/post-images/380px-Rational_scale_to_assess_the_harm_of_drugs_mean_physical_harm_and_mean_dependence.svg.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1256239221464) Switch to Cannabis? | ||
