Been smoking for more than 10 years now. I quit them for few months using Tabex ( a bulgarian drug based on some plant, that has the similar structure and effects as nicotine, but its no addictive - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytisine ).I had no real withdraw effects thanks to this drug, but few months later I started again. Havent been smoking for 2 days and its real nightmare, I hope I`ll be able to get through.

Deal with it. You've made it this far without a cigarette so keep going bro.

Make your body a slave to you, don't allow your body to control what you want.

Come on guys, hang in there.

I too want to smoke badly every day.
Just think of the money you save, how great its for your health and, (to me) most importantly, the mental strength you prove to yourself by just kicking your addiction's ass!

This is probably the biggest factor for me, too. I have chronic bronchitis and I've been smoking for about 5 years, but that isn't what is really driving me to quit. I'm currently only on day 3 of this quitting attempt, but every day in just feels so satisfying. Sure, I get all sweaty and irritable, or I get wicked headaches, but knowing that I'm beating an incredibly powerful but useless addiction just makes me feel so damn fulfilled. I just need to stick with it for once. I've "quit" twice before, but both times I let myself have a cig or two, and BAM, hooked again. The reasons for allowing myself to try it out again vary, but I'm fairly confident that I'm wise enough not to let that happen this time. After seeing myself fall back into the trap very quickly, that I worked so hard to get out of... I don't think I'll ever smoke a cigarette again. There's just no point. It'd be letting myself down.

Sorry for being a naive little kid, but why do people smoke constantly and why do they start?
Dont think ill ever smoke thou. I met a guy who didnt smoke for like 2 hours, and he went into withdrawl. It was fucking scary.
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

It usually takes me 6-8h before I become an insufferable asshole. Consider that I've only been smoking for about 5 years, ranging from 10-20 cigarettes per day, with a couple "breaks" lasting 2-4 months at a time (seeing as lighting up one more time means I never quit). It's a definite behavioral addiction, with an equally potent neurochemical factor. At this point, chronic sinus congestion is a colossal pain in my ass, and is at least partially due to my smoking. I'd love to go without smokes, but whenever that magic number has elapsed, I can't get it out of my head. The last thing I want to do is resort to some kind of chemical crutch like a nicotine patch or inhaler. Any suggestions TL?

As a general question from someone who's planning on quitting smoking, how long did it take you guys to start feeling the 'positive' effect from quitting?

Starting the coming friday once all my exams are done.

I now quit moking some years ago. It was at university and there was a long weekend due to some holiday that I forgot and stores were closed and no cigarette was anywhere near and I was to lazy to get out and drive for miles to get a cigarette.
So after the few days without smoke, I thought to myself, if I can survive these days I can survive the next day and then the next and so on. Havent smoked ever since.
The first few days (the weeken end) was the hardest.

Before I quit I smoked about 1,5 packs a day.

have you guys heard of E-cigerette. water vapor + nicotine (or without). in my experience its about the same as quitting smokeing, without the shittyness. its just like smoking a cig but without the 2000+ chemicals. also taste so good. right now , the 3 flavors i have are french vanilla ice cream , tobacco and caramel, and pancake. i got 18 mg nicotine which is pretty high. i never feel like smoking a cig with this and feel like im in much better shape (with exercise)
also u save alot of money too. for 80 dollars i got everything i needed to start and enough of the E-juice to last me for 5 months. check out this website vapor4life.com . to start out u need a battery(the actualy cigerette looking thing) cartomizers ( looks like a cig butt and screws on the end of the battery) and E-juice of ur fav flavors.
buying the juices and refilling your carts is how u save alot of money. u get 30 ml bottle of juice for 12 dollar and it lasts me about as long as a carton of cigs.
pm me if u have questions i might know answers.

Will someone please write a little summation of Alan Carr's stop smoking books.
Like his general method or something about why his are better... different outlook to most? set plan? what?

Also that book of one liners you read liquid drone can you give some examples instead of just saying I read a bunch of stuff that completely changed my life but I absolutely refuse to repeat any of it here because that would just be too sensible.

Thanks!

Been a while and I assume this was directed at me.. Well his book basically goes through your mind process on why you smoke and which excuses you have for it and why you would continue doing so. Quoting some pieces doesn't really work, cause the quotes by themselves are not very special, it's the whole package.
In the Netherlands you can also quit by attending a seminar from his company, if you fail to quit you get your money back.

Reason I visited this thread again is that I started again 4 months ago and quit again last week. Book helped me again

I smoked since 16 (or a little earlyer).. After 20 like 2 packs a day... That makes 12 years of smoking with ~10 years of "heavy" smoking.
A little less than 2 months ago I stopped spontaneously on a Sunday morning (woke up and did not feel like going out to buy cigs... That was like the whole reason).


I don't get people that have these "huge" problems. All you need to do is not smoke. THAT’S ALL, just don't smoke.
Yes, you feel terrible for the first few days/week... But soon after the worst cravings are gone.
Just don't smoke.

It's easier than doing your daily workouts or something like that because... There you actually have to do something, to stop smoking you just have to not do anything... It's easy.


And pls forget that E-Cig bullshit... If you use any form of replacement drug you haven't stopped at all.

E-cig is terrible. It makes you want real cig even more i think. However i have quit like 3 times. The longest was for about 5 months. I know that i can quit and it is not even that hard, but i found out that i really like the feeling to be able to light up a cigarette when i am feeling shitty or just smoking when drinking with friends in a bar. So now i am trying to approach it from different angle and i smoke about 5 a day with exceptions when i go to bar or a party.

The People that are trying to quit seriously need to check out the book "The Easyway To Stop Smoking" By Allen Carr.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
