"Too sick to smoke" is the best way to quit. When you want a cigarette but you know no matter what it will make you feel bad. Then if you slip your brain remembers the negative experience.

after 3 days the little nicotine monster in your body goes away, after that its just the big nicotine monster in your head that you have to worry about. The mental part of quitting is really the harder part, the physical addiction is nothing. The mental dependence is horrifyingly hard to break.

good luck!

Smoking is one vice that has no bright side. EVERYTHING that people get from smoking is bad or can be 'easily' replaced by some other activity. It's very hard to me to understand how informed and intelligent people despite their knowledge on the subject can pick cigarette after cigarette and smoke it. But if they do it, it's a sign that quitting it is very hard.

You, Catz, are one of my favourite SC2 player and personality so I can only say this: MAN UP AND QUIT SMOKING!!! Make us even prouder of your actions. Fuck the 'maybe'.

THIS. IS. IT.

I don't think you actually get how it can feel to have a cigarette in the morning.... you can't "easily" replace that. And sure that kick is brought on by the addiction in the first place but still. The upsides are what makes it hard to quit. A vice with no bright side wouldn't even be a vice in the first place. That said it's still something nobody should do because it makes you sick and it's never worth it in the end. I use swedish snus now though, best alternative to smoking there is short of quitting.

all i can say is realize the upside is fleeting and doesn't help with stress aside from the moment you indulge, and that mental dependencies really suck, i keep mine at bay with healthier addictions .. but its the hole in yourself u need to fill if u will ever break the cycle, whatever that may be for you

Everyone needs at least one drug to keep going through (difficult periods in) life.

My mother's is religion (makes endorfin for her).
My father's is alcohol.
My stepmom, who I loved dearly and passed away from lungcancer this year, was smoking.
Mine is cafeïn, in the form of quadrouple espresso in the morning, energy drink in the evening and cola during the day.
My girlfriend's is dancing, a lot of it (makes endorfin for her).

None of us can / could stop and to be honest, you don't have to.
Because in the end, we are all going to die, whether it be young or old.
What's important is that when you look back at life, that you can tell yourself you enjoyed the ride.

Forcing yourself to live healthy but not enjoying it is not worth living life either.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

I just hit the three week mark using e-cigs. I got the eGo-T. It's a good cheap e-cig. What kind did you try by chance? Was it the flavor that you didn't like about e-cigs? I've noticed even with the e-cig i'm getting over those times like driving and after I eat where I would instantly go for a smoke. It's also nice to smoke inside and once you get past the short bump of getting used to the e-cig you are pretty much golden. Well thats how I feel.

Good luck to you Catz~! "Take that maybe" out of the title fool!

This is very true for any habit. Particularly weight loss.

Could you please elaborate on this ? Like doing a run just for the sake of it and not running because you want to lose weight ?

Quitting smoking for those of you who may not understand it, is like ending a shitty but long relationship, you know its for the best, but its still hard as f*ck and you'll miss it.


and miss it you will.

YOU CAN DO IT!!
