right. While I jump in a taxi @ 1:30 am and go to the garage to get some smokes, have any of you ever tried to quit smoking? Did it work? How long for? And what did you do to stop yourslf smoking? I'm only quitting fags btw. pOgO still says - "Smoke dope" |

Quit Heroin & Crack and then come talk to me... Smoking is, at best, a bourgouis decandence.....nothing more, nothing less... (Good luck with the giving up BTW...sorry if I sound kinda harsh, i don't mean to...) |

I know a few people who quit. It's different for everyone. I don't know... Depends how badly you want it. |

At the moment, the worst part is not wanting a smoke, it's my fucking chest. There's 7 years worth of shit trying to escape all at once ! Jand: I know what you mean, but I hope I never ger addicted to those, or even try them for that matter. Smoking is such a common habit yet still very addictive. Trying to quit anything, even as minor as biting your nails can be hard, but any kind of physical addiction is a struggle to to break, even if it's a minor one. I've been smoking since I was 13, and I'm 21 now so really it's always been a part of my life. |

It took me a few runs at it before I was successful. Basically, I learned that you have to resign yourself to feeling very shitty for a few days, then vaguely hollow for a week or two. This is offset by the fact that you will feel better in general after those first few days... less crabby, less rushed, less stressed. Healthier. More content. After two weeks you only have to worry about hanging around with smokers and going to bars... things can trigger a powerful psychological need even after the chemical need has died down. Don't tell yourself that you can have just one or two, because you WILL feel crabby again for a day after. It's just not worth it. Getting through the firsst few days is fucking tough if you have a powerful addiction. You have to recognize your foul mood is just the Tobacco Demons and not the people and things you want to act out against. It's like riding around on a powder keg for a few days. You have to bite your tongue and count to ten all the time. Your mantra must be: It's chemical, it's temporary. It's chemical, it's temporary. It's chemical, it's temporary. It's chemical, it's temporary. Good luck - it's SO worth the effort! |

It was easy for me to quit cigarretts, mainly because I never started in the first place. Good luck pogo, try smoking weed if you feel like you need a cig. |

I quit over last summer, and it worked... cause I was at home with my parents... but as soon as I got back to school, I was smoking like a chiminey. What I realized i needed was some kind of reminder. Like a ribbon on your finger kind of thing... so, I got my labret pierced. Everytime I feel like a cig, I feel the stud in my mouth, and remember I made a promise to myself. Its hard though... there are many times I feel like "oh one cant hurt" and you have to just have will power. I had dreams for 3 weeks about smoking after I quit... Buts its been a month and a half. |

that would be GREAT...... but I'm outta weed =o( Zeus: hmmmm.... piercing myself is a bit extreme, but I think I can do the ribbon ;o, |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well, I wanted the piercing anyways... it wasnt like a random idea... but it served a greater purpose. |

i regularly i can go 4 days w/o a fag, if im not doing anything. and even though i understand the addiction completely i cannot avoid it. interesting shit if at the same time painful. i prefer to give into it and concentrate on (what i see) more important things. |

GOOD luck with quitting pOgO! i've heard it's hard, like any habit i suppose. your lungs will thank you for it tho =0) and DO NOT tattoo your forehead! it will look funny when you're 80 or something.......ehhehhehe =b |

Cigarettes are apparently more addictive than heroin. Heroin is just much much much worse for you. People who have never smoked have no idea what it's like. I would have the "occasional" cigarette when I was drinking. It's hard to control a physiological addiction. |

pOgO, you have my best wishes! It's really not bad... once you make it over a certain hump. I quit tobacco, though I admit I had only been smoking for three years. I was completely adicted, but I'm sure the years beat it into you deeper and deeper. I just excepted the fact that I was going to pay the price and be in miserable pain. It took complete faith that I would be paid for my suffering and be thankful. It was incredible difficult to think about the benefits and not the sweet nicotine fix. Sleepless nights, hellish shifts at work and D's in school were countered by the fact that I couldn't ignore my body any longer. FOCUS ON YOUR BODY. In full awareness of what you are doing to yourself, how could you continue? It's disgusting and will eat you away for the rest of your life like a parasite unless you quit. And it MUST be ASAP. Like NOW! I made it and I love myself for it. You will too. |

The thing with quitting smoking cigs is you just have to REALLY decide and then it's painless (well, almost). You have to actually want to, not just do it out of guilt or fear and then as soon as you think OK, I want to quit, do it. The worst thing, IMO is 'cutting down' and making games and rules and shit for yourself. I'm trying to quit smoking weed right now and it is a struggle because I'm not sure if I want to or not, which leads to constant questioning and on-the-fencing and all that typa shit, which is the hard part. |

I started smoking cig but especially weed when i was twelve when i was about 14 i used all types of drugs smoked 3 to 4 packages of cig a day and wass non-stop stoned (started at 6:30 in the morning till the last spliff for bedtime) but.....i eventually stopped almost a year ago and i'm 23 these days. the reason was that i was coughing black/brown slime (yugh) so what i did was set a date (in my case there was a huge party), so i partied like hell, using all kinds of drugs, smoked like an idiot and drank like an alcoholic. the next day i felt so fucked up it was a good time to stop and never touched a cig/spliff or other shit anymore. cig addiction is all in the head it isnt hard at all, only if you really want it. and if that doesnt work you should read an allen carr book or session (worked for many people i know) www.allencarrseasyway.com/main.htm good luck |

a hint. while you are giving up don´t let anyone even talk about ciggies around ya.. asking how its going etc. TOTALLY blank them and don´t casually mention to friends "just had 2 this morning, i can do this." make it utterly private and your own thing.. it worked for me. Also... go up and secretly smell a smoker ...... it´ll put ya off for life! |

Good luck pOgO! I'm going through the quitting motions myself at the moment. Moderately successful. |
