I've only been smoking for a little over three years, but it feels like it's been a lot longer. I suppose that's because I started nearly immediately after I moved out of my parents' house for college. Since then it's been a staple of my semi-independent life.
Now, however, I have decided to quit seriously. I just finished my last pack in the last carton I bought yesterday, and today will be the first full day I go without cigarettes in nearly six months (I went for a week without smoking when I was staying at a relative's house).
ANYWAY...I woke up at 1:30pm. It is now 7:40pm...six hours have gone by, and my thoughts have gone from the usual, "food, sex, starcraft, steaks, football, sex, barbecues, explosions, etc" to "food, smoke, sex, smoke, starcraft, smoke, steaks, smoke, etc".
Ugh. It's not the first time I've tried to quit, but this is the first time I've taken it as seriously as I am now, and with a plan. There's like this constant anxiety hanging over my head over this whole thing.
God, cigarettes are dumb.
On another note, the thread I started in general about the blind woman getting punched on the bus like disappeared...it didn't just get closed, but I think it got deleted; when I try to access it, it says, "not enough permissions". Does anyone know why it got removed? I thought it turned out to be a pretty funny thread from all the derails, lol.
EDIT
Forgot a closing parenthesis...-____-;;

I believe in you and you can do this, no matter what Chill, Incontrol, Kenngit, WoW, GTR and Haji say about you behind your back.

GL dude. Smoking is really fucking hard for some people, and not so much for others. Just depends on how susceptible to addiction you are. Either way, keep at it, this is one decision you won't ever regret.

i have absolutely no experience with smoking but that method sounds badass

All you see on the side bar is "Quitting Smoking Star"
So I thought it was entitled "Quitting Smoking StarCraft." I was confuzzed.
Good luck, smoking is gross! (tobacco at least)

I've tried that before...the lowest I was able to go was three a day for a while...but then you kind of forget you're trying to quit, and I ended up going back up and smoking more than I had before I'd tried cutting down...I think like half a pack a day for a while.
I kind of subconsciously cut down the amount I smoked lately, though, since I was trying to make my last carton last for as long as possible, lol. I spread out a pack over the better half of a week, having like 3-4 cigs a day. Yesterday, I only had two as that was all I had left.
Today...zero...
I need to go buy some gum.

Yeah when it comes down to it if you REALLY do want to quit you will do it quick. Now obviously it will be hard but when someone do decides to quit they can quick smoking pretty quick. I know a person like your friend who just quit just like that, like one day he just stopped and never went back.
Good luck to you quitting smoking, it will be hard but you will do it!

Switch to cigars- better imo

fearus = asshole.
hahaha. -___-
I have a friend, who's probably my biggest supporter for this, whose dad smoked since he was like twelve until his wife was pregnant with her (my friend)...which was like fifteen to twenty years. He stopped stone fucking cold...I'm keeping him and his fucking ACHIEVEMENT in mind...wtf, I smoked for three years? That's like nothing. Then again, I don't have a pregnancy and an unborn child as incentive...only my own health and money savings which is easily passed over.

I love cigars. I'm going to give myself the luxury of puffing on one of those every now and then. I was thinking of getting a pipe, too...pipe tobacco is delicious (and you don't inhale when smoking pipes either as far as I was taught). I never got around to it, though.

Oh man, good luck. I can't stand people who smoke
|
Good luck! Cold turkey is the way to go!
