GL with the goals dude, i´ve been in your seat. Was a smoker for 7 years adn decided one day it was enough. now i´ve been smokefree since that day for 5 years and still going. My advice to you? get gums, aloooot of gums. That was what helped me through going from 15 a day to 0. Also you should be prepared to get headaches as you said and moodswings gonna be a hell frist 2-3 weeks. But i dont doubt you´ll get through this, its a matter of share will and since you´re a progamer i think you got that mindset allready
Looking forward to your stream sessions, and best of luck to you in both upcomming events and the distant ones
Trying is the first step towards failure

Good luck Jos!
I quit cold turkey last week after 7 years and it's been less hard than I expected, did it for similar reasons as yours. An advice; look up videos about how addiction works; about how dopamine affects the primal cortex. It's something I hold on to when I crave a peuk and it does work for me. (As I can then easily rationalize the emotional craving I get).

Fighting! good luck. This may offend some, but in many ways I think that losing weight, eating healthier and quitting cigarettes is way more important than practicing SC2. Not that they can't be done together, I'm just saying.

Good luck Ret, both on your try of stopping smoking and on your practicing for MLG.
It's good to be back

Hell yes. You can do this. Old school TL guys have more will power than most people I've ever met in my entire life. I'm not kidding about that. I don't doubt your ambitions for one moment.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

Maybe apologise to your girlfriend in advance.

I helped mine go cold turkey and she went mental all the time; i had to physically stop her from smoking...

I definitely recommend working out; get your natural high. Healthy food (we cut all sweets, even chocolate) helps, too (otherwise, you might feel inclined to replace nicotine with excessive amounts of sugar).

Good luck, man.

Decreasing the amount of smokes is just like telling a little girl that she'll have her beloved teddy later.
That's my experience. It wouldn't work for me like that. I do it or I don't. So if decreasing the amount doesn't work for you just cut it out.
Without smokes for one year now and I don't feel like need a smoke anytime.
Good luck!

Edit: Funny though, I've never experienced any mood swings or whatsoever, just the urge to smoke, in the early time. I never had the feeling to be addicted to it anyways, atleast not mentally. I smoked for "only" 3 years, maybe that's why. I just was bored as hell, so it became something like f5ing the reddit front page, haha.

gl! i quit a year ago, it was really hard to stop myself from smoking when going out (after some beers), so better don't do that in the first few weeks, other than that, i dunno, maybe finding out your smoking habits/rituals and replacing them with something else helps.
you can do it!
