Hi Ret!
This may saound crazy but there is a quick (and horrible) way to quit smoking in a heartbeat:
1. Open two sigarettes and take the tobacco in a casarole.
2. Add one cup of water.
3. Boil it.
4. Drink the "tobacco tea". After a big gulp you will probably vomit.
5. (this is imporant) Then smoke a sigarette right after you vomitet and you will vomit again.
Now, all you can think of when you want to have another sigaret is the aweful tobacco tea and the vomiting.
This is not a joke, this actually works, but few people have the guts to do it, good luck!

It's all you Ret!!!! There will be bad and good days with this, but you have the heart of a warrior, I know you can beat smoking!

I quit smoking a couple years ago, when I got back from Iraq. It was actually surprisingly easy for me, despite how terrible people told me quitting was. I guess once I got in my head that I simply did not want to smoke ever again, ignoring any cravings was not that difficult. Hopefully you've got this same strength of conviction, because that's all it takes imo.

Just make sure you exercise a lot as well and watch your eating pattern, especially if you are prone to being overweight, because you are likely to gain weight when you stop smoking. Try to avoid eating just a few "big" meals but instead eat regularly small bits.
Lollipops (sugarfree ofc) and toothpicks also helped me out a lot when I had the urge to have a cigaret.

This is actually really dangerous to do, no one should do that without medical assistance. Nicotine is a poison and in this described form highly intoxicatin!!

Ah i remembver the interview from back when you were in Korea and playing GSL, You looked in great shape and health, best of luck with your effort to gain it back, i have faith in you !

Good luck man, never give up, even once.
The moment you let yourself go you won't turn back and you'll turn your resolutions in wishful thinking.
As an ex smoker (more than a year now) who tried to stop two times before now: don't ever give up.
If by any chance you try to smoke you won't enjoy your first one out of shame and then you'll have an excuse to smoke again since "Well... I already gave up once".
Whenever you are angry because of the lack of nicotine turn your frustration against marines.
Edit about that strange beverage: don't.

Best of luck Ret!
I'm sure you can pull this off if you keep focused.
|
Just dove into this and good luck sir. Keep us update the progress, even if you slip up a bit.
|
+1 for that book!
Good for you Ret! What helped me through the cravings was thinking of not having nicotine as having a broken leg. It sucks, but there is nothing you can do about it, it just has to heal.
You just happen to be suffering from the illness of not being able to smoke - it will pass.
honestly though, quitting is not nearly as hard as not starting again. don't fall into the 'i made it through 5 days, I deserve a reward"-trap.
|
Best of luck, Ret! You can do it!! 
|
Looking great so far Ret!! =)
Stay happy and healthy. Really hope for a breakout soon =D

Hey Ret,
Dunno if you remember me, but I was the guy during mlg anaheim mafia earlier this year that was the only one who believed you in the game after that trick you pulled w/ audrey the game before...sleepy my ass... -_-. (we talked afterwards about enduring long flights around the globe  ) I remembered that we had to wait for a couple of you guys to do a smoke break before the next game. Looking forward to playing next time with you w/o that smoke break (or at least one you don't join!). Looking forward to seeing you again! Good luck, stay strong, gg!
|
holy crap! there was a couch in there? Really hope you achieve your goal. When I got healthy a while back my energy was through the roof and a lot of general day to day problems were gone. I'm sure the first week will be tough and whenever you pass by a smoker and some greasy food, but you can do it! Starcraft is great for those that are disciplined and having that type of self control to quit smoking and get healthy will just make you play better in the long run.
|
good luck :D
hope everything will turn out as planned :D
|
Goodluck with this, I managed to quit for around 2 weeks a few months ago but went on holiday and ended up smoking again, try get some gum or an ecig as I hear they really help to quit for good.
|
I quit smoking almost 4 months ago and believe me, it gets MUCH better with time. Only start was rough, like i stopped when i finished my last exam at uni, so i would have least stress possible and i just played starcraft for a week/watched Dexter, so i would not do things, that made me smoke normally, like going on drink with friends, going out drinking, walking/waiting etc. After that i just made sure i never buy cigarettes and it turned out, that i'm so used to smoking only my cigarettes that even tho i still had desire to smoke when i was drunk, i didn't ask for a cigarette (but i did buy a few more beer as usual, cause of being used to have sth in my hand :D). After that, it started to become A LOT better, i don't even feel the need to smoke anymore, i don't even know why i did it anymore, so i guess nicotine is a bitch, cause i haven't felt better in years, i have more focus, i can breathe so much easier, i can do sports so much easier, i feel i'm blowing up with motivation.
So Ret, just don't stress urself out too much for the first few weeks, don't buy a new pack NEVER again, if u are drinking, buy another long drink instead so u have something in ur hand, occupy ur mind with music whenever u are walking somewhere alone or waiting and just DON'T give up and use the motivation for esports !
