I decided Today to quit smoking, no smokes... I think that this will be a very very hard thing to do, as I have been smoking for years, but I really have been thinking about it more and more lately, and of course its a healthy choice. Anyone else quite succesfully before? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, only unsuccessfully. i'm weak minded. i still can't believe i got sucked into the oldest trick in the book. i'm a big fool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is another topic about this you might wanna search for, for some ideas! GOOD luck, your lungs will thank you for it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never started smoking cigs, and I'm glad I didn't. Best of luck to you in quitting. Are you gonna use the gum or the patch? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know if I will use anything or not, If after a day or two I have lots of mental problems with quitting, ie: withdrawl I will talk to my doctor I suppose.. I really just want to quit for good, not bullshit myself. thanks for the kind words folks. :0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forget patches or anything like that, just stop. and chew lots of gum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I think that could be a way to start out, I was thinking something like that anyway... but uh.. didnt this.. not work for you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd almost pick up smoking just so I could quite cold turkey!! I love turkey!!! Mmmmm!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm that is good stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most people spend about $2000 a year. And thats a bit less than a pack a day. Smoke more than a pack a day, then it gets real expensive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that a good way of seeing it, thats probably the only way ill ever stop - if i calculate how much money i'd save. but unfortunately its much cheaper for you so that probably won't work as well. |
||||||||
|
|

Try reading 'allen carr's easy way to stop smoking', The title sounds crap but it's worked for lots of my friends....give it a go.....I smoke 80 a day without fail! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you have my word cold turkey is very unpleasant. having experienced it some 10 years ago, its like having a very bad flu for 3 days. you sweat a lot and spend most time in bed. and you don't sleep. |
||||||||
|
|

smokes here are 10 dollars a pack! they used to be 5 dollars but then they raised it last year. I thought Id quit then, but appearently not.. hmm... I dunno, the health reasons alone are great enough I think for me, but money is a large issue as well, thats like more gas money, weed or drinking money.... whatever... It should work out, im gonna try hard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... i know the feeling of stopping for like a week or so.. no good, but must drudge on.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
10 dollars? jesus maybe that would make me give up! :) ats about £4-50 for 20 in england. when i said cold turkey i wasn't on about cigarettes |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha. |

My father stoped smoking after 40 years from one day to the other... I noticed he was eating alot of tic tac's in that period XD I admire him for such a strong will though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah 10 dollars is a lot. Here they are about 4 i think? How much can you get weed for? It might be worth it to smoke weed instead of cigs. It'll ween you off, and then quitting the weed wont be like gettinga flu for 3 days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't 4.50 in pounds about the equivalent of 10 Canadian dollars? or 9 dollars? I thought the pound was about 2 of our dollars... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weed here like.. 10 bux... a gram. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much is 10canadian $ in US $? |

I quit a few months ago. Best way, if you really are doing it for yourself, and you have been thinking about it lately, is to cut down over a few weeks. Don't tell anyone either that you're quitting. If you tell people, and they know you've had a smoke, they'll be like all dissappointed and shit, and so will you. But don;t think of it as if you're quitting. Just don't buy any packs, only bludge off people if you really really want one. I did this for 3 weeks and no one suspected that i was quitting, which made it easier. Because you know when you tell people and then they see you having a smoke they're like "you're soft" or "ooh yeah, sure you are", etc.. It really is a good feeling once you go through all the hard yards. It took me about 4 weeks all up to be totally clean. I don't even think about it now, or even remember the satisfaction of it. All i remember is smelling all the time. I love feeling clean and healthy, it's a great feeling. This time was my third time by the way, and longest and definetely for good this time. But really, it was a lot easier for me this time because 1) Didn't tell anyone, didn't think of it as quitting or make it a big deal - just didn't have any, and 2) I really really wanted to quit. After not having a smoke at all for a few days i loved the clean and healthy feeling. Also, i used . I don't know if Canada has its own, but use the Australian one if you like. Really really helped. Hope that helps. Good luck. |

Great tip! My tip is that the hardest smoke to loose is the first in the morning. Once you go past it its a bit easier. I am myself trying to quit but I am weak! ;) |
||||||||

giving up smoking is easy if you want to but you must want to |
||||||||
|

|

yeah I made this exact thread not so long ago, and I am about to go outside for a smoke The worst part is not the wanting a fag, but you realy do feel like shit for ages, You'll probably get a cold, you chest will feel like it's full of gravel and you'll get very moody Have fun =oD |

I'm in the process of re-quitting myself, too - I started again in January after having stopped for 14 months. I wish myself able to fight the insanity for the next few days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so do you just STOP. and it's all orr nothing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only smokes cigs occassionally, i prefer herbalizing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I just stop cold - nothing like that gum or patches or shit - I have to do it entirely by myself. Usually it works after I give it a few test-runs, and cathc the rhythm. |
||||||||
|

|

heh, fags... as I said one time before, sounds like you british people are smoking gay people! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just to clarify, not that I refer to gay people as fags, but here in north america they are refered to as that by some people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like fruits...mebbe I should eat more of them when I quit smoking fags. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
admit you're incapable of staying off 'em forever, and keep smoking. like i do. I enjoy smoking. I limit myself to a pack every few nights though. Its enjoyable. problem seems to be when a 40- a- day-er panics and tries to give up altogether. Its unrealistic unless you have a bloody good hold on your inner demons, and if you're at the stage of being on 40-a-day , thats pretty unlikely. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
bjg: cool... thanks everyone else is being great.. thanks. well i was drinking and smoking pot last night and didnt have one puff... yall should be proud.... now the hard stuff starts.... actually staying smoke free... I dunno.. so far its OK. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Remember those lollies, or candy for Americans. Did you guys have those cigarette shaped lollies called fags? Gay people got pissed off and then they changed them to fads, but i don't think they make them anymore. I was gonna say something interesting but now i forgot. |

REFLEX: Cool. Really check out . The stories and articles on that site really helped me a lot. If you plan it, it's a lot easier. The two times i quit before this one, i just quit cold-turkey and used patches the other, but i didn't want to quit, i still enjoyed smoking a lot. That site gives you a lot of good reasons to quit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bjg: yeah cool, ill check that site out too. I want to quit, my girlfriend is gonna try to quit with me too. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought about quitting smoking but the stress of just the idea made me go from about 15 a day to 25 a day :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it did that to me, too :D I haven't had a smoke for 24 hours, and I'm starting to feel it |
