Good luck on your endeavours, ret!
I've been smoking for nearly 3 years (most of the time close to a pack a day) and tried to quit cold turkey 3 times. I guess I have pretty much no willpower since the longest I made it was 2 weeks. Currently, I am in another attempt to quit but this time I gave some pills a try. They are not a magical product that makes you forget about smoking the instant you take it, but (at least for me) the pills prevented the bad cravings I had my first few attempts at quitting. I still feel like I'd like to smoke every now and then, but it's by no means comparable to the insane I-must-smoke-this-fucking-moment-or-I-ll-die cravings I used to have before. The product has been used for about fifty years in East Europe and allegedly helps somewhat when you try to quit. In case, you don't succeed with your cold turkey attempt (I hope you do though!), you might want to give tabex a try. It's cheap and its side effects (if one gets any) are pretty much the same as some nicotine withdrawal symptoms (headaches, stomach aches). By the way, I have no idea if the site I linked to is a trustworthy place to buy tabex, but it was the first one I found in English.

Go crush those tournaments!

My plan was to try to get up in the morning to start a habit of running a few times a week; now I have an extra motivator! Thanks!

Good luck and I hope to see you do well. I always cheer for you!

Looks like Hero is going to lose his smoking buddy (I still remember that from the documentary, hehe). Maybe that'll prompt him to follow suit, hmm?
Going to tune in as I'm able.

As an American, I naturally have to jump to drugs and suggest that if cold turkey is too difficult, do consider using nicotine replacement therapy and/or medications such as buproprion or varenicline. Best of luck to you!

Good luck! It is brave of you to put this goal out there with so many folks watching. Exercising discipline will pay dividends down the line, looks like a great move for your future no matter how it plays out in the short term.

I'm always happy to see someone take a huge step like this to improve their health, a truly inspiring effort. It will probably be hell to quit cold turkey like this, but all the same I wish you the best of luck

Good luck man! This is going to be a rough endeavor, but I know you can do it. I'll tune into the stream to cheer you on ~~
Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why.
