Seriously, what if some 10 year old kid was nearby there and happened across your cigarettes and lighter. You've just passed on your addiction. | ||

Interesting picture though, I really hadn't known that smoking affected so much in your body. Hell, I mean, I knew it fucked you up slowly, but the fact that it takes almost 15 years to completely be back to the health of a non-smoker is pretty damn surprising. Best of luck once again, and I look forward to seeing future blogs from you with updates on your progress. :D | ||

I had to witness my grandpa dying from cancer. He was a smoker all his life and died in his early 60s, shortly after my great grandpa, who had never smoked, died at age 93. My grandpa's death was so drawn-out and painful that it made my uncle stop smoking cold turkey. Just remember the cons whenever you feel the urge. | ||

Smoking isn't a reward, its a death trap! Make sure you take deep breaths anytime you can remember. It'll remind you of the freedom of smoke free living. | ||

Sounds like a lot of bullshit, but do it. GLHFGGWP And the first days and weeks are not the hardest. The hardest is that one cigaret that you want to smoke for fun. Just for old times sakes or with friends, in a bar with a chick that smokes ... all that good jazz. THATS hard. | ||

I do suggest seeking medical programs for quitting though, three of my smoker friends ALWAYS claim they'll quit from the very moment and on and end up smoking within 20 minutes anyway. Not a smoker myself so I don't know the difficulties, but it seems like personal determination is often not enough. | ||

To put into perspective of those who are not addicted smokers, or those who have never had a cigarette. I literally smoked a pack a day for over 3 years. At times, I was smoking 2 packs a day (40 cigarettes). I'm seriously extremely addicted to nicotine. Last night when I didn't smoke a cigarette before I fell asleep was almost nerve wrecking. I didn't necessarily have a craving. Instead it is as if you're internet goes out right before you check your email or login to facebook, or read TeamLiquid. It's just like saying "oh shit. right, i forgot I don't have any" So that was last night. Today it was a lot more difficult. Not in the sense of about to cave in to buying a pack or bumming one. This is when the cravings came in. The best way to describe the cravings today is as if your mind is sore. If you have ever had a sore jaw from chewing some undercooked or very tough food, imagine that sore feeling around your temples. Combine that with a croggy feeling of when you just wake up. That was almost the constant feeling today. However I didn't think "I need a cigarette". Instead, I imagined a stop watch that keeps counting up. Every single second I don't smoke is one second closer I am to being completely free. Today was easy relative to what I'm expecting tomorrow to be. 23.5 hours until all the nicotine in my body is gone. I got this! | ||
