I really dont think that lying to people is a good way to get them to quit. | ||

While you can argue that dementia is a horrible way to go, You're not really aware of what is happening aswell as unless it's tied in to another disease it strikes you at an old age were you allready lived a full life. And obesity? When you die from it the most common forms is a "pow" heart attack or Cerebral hemorrhage. It's over in a few seconds after that you're unconcious untill the end. How is that horrible? Dude... If you want to quit smoking.. great... I have to say that I work in a Hospital Emergency room and I know what kills people. (and how horrific each death is) Smoking will most likley kill you from heart disease (possibly COPD but thats rarer) and all in all.. heart disease isnt really all that bad a way to go out. I can tell you that the 2 most horrific ways to snark it are Dementia and Obesety.. (sure there are some pretty bad tropical diseases out there but Im sticking to whats probably going to kill you) After that herpes is pretty damn grim.. and there are some pretty horrible things that happen to alcoholics. If quitting smoking was a guarantee of immortality.. Id quit tomorrow.. But it isnt and no matter how many healthy options you take you are in the end.. a dead dude... The best reason I can think of to give up is if giving up will help yo score with a hot chick.. other than that.. dont bother. And herpes? First of all, finding someone that dies of herpes as in HSV-2 ever killing someone is almost impossible, at least over here please provide a source of it ever happening because in my country it never has. Even if you find cases of it, the fact that nobody óver here has died from it kind of proves how rare it is. Or do you mean herpes as in the flu? if so then say the flu, don't say herpes. You may rationalise why you keep smoking as much as you want but don't spread shit like this around. | ||

I'm not 100% sure it's worth it though, because at this rate I'll be in jail for murder by the time I no longer wanna smoke. | ||

 The first 3 weeks were so hard TT_TT I was angry all day long, and needed something to calm my anxiety. Started to drink incredible amounts of water just to overcome that This is my chance, and I will never again touch a cigarette. | ||

I will lock my self in.... get food and everything for 4-5 days (+ a shitload of gum). I will watch a couple of series and movies, play a lot of sc2 and hopefully won't get tempted. I was told it would get a lot easier to stay disciplined after a week or so. | ||

Stopped buying a new pack and just let myself run out. Next two days, shaky, sweating. Smoke dreams.. Started to settle in. Now it's the 4th week. I feel incredibly comfortable. I've quit a couple addictions before so I know the feeling of empowerment, that you are incontrol again. Feels really good. Will probably never smoke again. Stopped smoking pot 3.5 years ago, stopped wow 2+ years ago. Did both in a similar fashion. My protips: - Make yourself feel bad, mentally, stack all those bad feelings. - Cut down as much as you can. Really keep it up and use the bad feelings to give you more will power to do so. You want to constantly cold turkey it. - Eventually you will actually do it. Just embrace how terrible it feels. Just accept that you are sick and just let the day go over while you do something to focus your mind, like playing sc2, marathon movie session, idk. - The first next day you will feel different but it's still really hard, just continue the above until you start to feel a bit of grip or it weakens. And imagine yourself doing this new as your lifestyle. For example, after dinner I would smoke. The first days after I finished, I stood up and started walking around my room looking for cigs. Then I realized I don't have any and I don't smoke anymore. So I imagined myself as someone who doesn't smoke after dinner, who doesn't have a smoke on other "trigger" moments. Make yourself want to become that person and pretend you already are. Best of luck to anyone. You are in control of your own life. You can be what you wanna be. Once you change you don't miss out on anything. You are just a different person that doesn't do those things and thus won't miss out. Stay strong fighting! | ||
