i'm on my third day without and it's all i can think about. i really hope the cravings are less tomorrow. i can't tell you the number of times i've nearly gone and bought some today. it's not even a dead cert i'll get through today without one. i'm really fucking determined to beat this addiction though. as much as i love smoking, it has to stop. |

i gave up...its not that hard if you can switch your thoughts as soon as the wave (they come in waves) hits .,get off it straight away dont drool and think of the shop ..think of something eles (do push ups- scream your head off) ..then after a few moments the craving goes away.....keep doing this practice practice makes healthy and no horrific suffocating death |

how much did you smoke a day? |

Keep at it. You may have some rough patches in the first week, or weeks, but the cravings keep diminishing and eventually you don't even think about it any more. smoaking is dumb |

I find changing my diet and my lip balm addiction much harder than quitting smoking. |

well done so far, most people struggle to get that far... i gave up a 20-a-day habit at the end of last year. not an easy task, but trust me, after day 3 its easy. keep your mind occupied. make sure you don't have any negative external factors annoying you, thus giving you an excuse to give in. Just take it a day at a time i guess. it does get easier with time, honest!. also, don't smoke any drugs, whilst trying to stop. it won't help with trying to distance yourself from the habit and behaviour of inhale = reward |

if you're not extremely irritable you're ahead of the game. the first three days or so are the hardest, i think. you have to keep reminding yourself of why you're quitting, that'll help stop you from going to get more. here's hoping you make it! |
||||||||

if you mean what i think you mean about waves; you're right. you can only quit when you are ready to quit. not just saying you're ready, but you actually have to be ready. if you try any other time, you will fail. that sounds obvious but ex-smokers will agree i'm sure. |

i was smoking anything from 10 to 20 a day going cold turkey is hard. i just randomly decided a few days ago and here i am now. the last 2 days were a piece of piss in comparison to today, which is odd. i notice the waves definitely, and my own psycho analysis is becoming routine. noticing the tyler durden type persona which will suddenly come over me, 'fuck it', you know. but yeah, i just keep reminding myself why i'm doing it and how much i can benefit from stopping, because there is so much more to life than sucking on a smouldering love stick. i mean shit stick. i feel if i can do this then i can do anything. this is strength building. i'll be made out of fucking iron by the time this is done with. the most likely thing to seduce me back is depression. so i'm going to keep happy and mostly keep women away. |

another good idea to stop smoking is not talk about it and not be around smokers. |

the benifits to giving up are incredible. youll find things about your body improving that you didnt realise were wrong with you(does that make sense?) taste smell breathing feeling even sight ..carry on with the good wok and youll see/feel what im talking about. |

many people say they dont wanna get old anyway and hope for an early death they don't realise that smoking doesn't kill straight away ...it makes you VERY ill for years and years till the end of life. when the cancer or cardiovascular disease kicks in ..its a horrific death and suicide is sometimes a more pleasurable option for many people ....they cant fit all that on a fag box. . |

--------->CUT DOWN GRADUALLY OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS AND WEEKS SLOWLY WEANING YOURSELF OFF YOUR ADDICTION. THIS MAY TAKE UPWARDS OF 1 YEAR BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT FOR WHEN YOU GET LUNG CANCER FROM OUR HORRIBLY POLLUTED ATMOSPHERE INSTEAD OF FROM A BOX OF 20 BENSON AND HEDGES DEATH STICKS THAT YOU PAID FOR WITH YOUR OWN CA$H ! GOING COLD TURKEY WILL ONLY LEAD TO A RELAPSE AND HORRIBLE FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <----- the facts |
||||||||
|

also when you stop your smell comes back and you notice how smokers stink of shit. |

||||||||
|

the part of me which wants to smoke more believes you completely. for the time being however i will start with your method once i fail |

i'd say fuck it. its not worth giving up smoking. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
as a matter of fact i've been saying that all day i do know that's just the addiction talking though. the gremlin. now i come to think of it i've always kind of been a bitch to the gremlin. i'm fed with the gremlin whore pushing my shit around now it's my fucking turn you hear me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just take a stand man! either you are a smoker or nonsmoker. i'd say something like.. it doesnt really matter untill you have kids, im not gonna stop smoking before that.. unless something drastic happens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

as far as i can see it (probably a poor level of seeing stuff and it being all misshapen by denial and such), if i can shake the desire to smoke then i'm free from it! then i can finally stop spending fucknows how much a week i want to not want to smoke. or even better, i want smoking to be something that has no control over me whatsoever. obviously right now it has more control over me than i'd let a policeman have but anyway we'll see what happens. i've never properly done this before and i just want to see what happens |

You'll give up when you want to give up. I know that sounds like an obvious thing to say - but the only time people usually give up is when they are worried about their health, although some people never are. Go and read a bunch of shit about survival rates for long term smokers - it ain't pretty. Sure, you could be the one in 10,000 that DOESN'T get lung cancer but chances are you will. If you don't there's plenty of other reasons not to smoke, when your arteries are all furred up and your immune system is fucked, every disease going has a chance to get in there and take advantage. In fact, he diseases are already there waiting, it's just whether you want to give them an opportunity to run riot one day or not. So yeah, carry on or don't. But live in the real world, because one day it's pretty much are certainty that if you don't give up it's going to send you to an early grave. |

I know that sounds like an obvious thing to say - but the only time people usually give up is when they are worried about their health, although some people never are couldnt agree more. i have a relative who smoked pretty much all her life and has tried everything to quit, patches, cold turkey, hypnotherapy, nicotine inhalers, pills, potions, lotions, self help guides, nicotine gum. she has been trying to quit for easily over 10 years, yet suddenly stopped last year because she felt like if she had another cigarette she was going to die. |

"if i can shake the desire to smoke then i'm free from it!" I don't think you'll ever be able to "shake the desire." Not with what you've been told about nicotine "addiction." You'll just have to live with actively deciding not to smoke every time you feel the urge. It's the same logic that goes into alcoholics always calling themselves alcoholics (or "recovering alcoholic") even though it's been ten years since their last drink. Realising it now and resigning to it makes it easier. Good job keeping it up until now, though! Keep going! |

it takes months you have to get used to every situation without a cigg |

Not necessarily true with smoking, it's a different sort of habit drinking. Alcohol tastes nice. If you stop drinking for 5 years when you have a vodka and tonic it's still pleasurable, but if you haven't smoked for 5 years a cigarette tastes like shit. |

i'm one of those lucky few that can smoke or not smoke at will. i choose to not smoke, these days unless i'm out with my smokey friends. then i might have one cig, or not, whatever. and also i am so rad. |

i'm not sure how hard you're trying to rationalize it, my drive to stop smoking was music, i counted the money i used to spend monthly on cigs and i tried to think how much music i could buy for such amount. it kinda helped. i haven't been smoking for about 4 years now |
