don't smoke anymore. you will then have sufficiently quit. |
||||||||

I decided I was smoking too much so I stopped smoking for this month. That was a couple of weeks ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know, everyday I wake up and think I should try to not smoke that day and then I end up giving in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, I smoked a pack a day, sometimes almost 2 packs a day, for 8 long years. And you know how I smoked? will power. I just decided one day while smoking at work that I was going to quit and I just stuck with it, it was hard, but I just kept at it, in the end it is as easy as just saying NO. |

herm, i'm wierd - smoked on and off for about two years. last week i smoked most days, haven't had any for a week, don't even want one, no cravings, nothing. never really had them, either - smoking like a train one week then stopping for a month isn't even slightly a problem. seems that i can't easily be addicted to things, which is good. that said though, smoking occurs out of habit and association, at least, that's my theory. a sure way to quit, in my opinion, is while you still are smoking, just cut down your smoking to particular places and times that you can cut out of your life reasonably easily; then when you want to quit, just stop going to those particular places. the association isn't there. a lot of people smoke when they drive, when they get up in the morning, when they have a coffee.. you just need to change your smoking patterns so that they don't occur while you're doing something else you're going to do commonly, otherwise quitting is hard as fuck as you're reminded of the association/habit, and the craving comes back. but i'm probably rambling :-) |

it is just as easy as stopping, just do it, you do have control over your arm picking up and lighting a smoke, it breaks down to that, will power. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Usually with quitting habits I get in that 'anti-weakness' mindset to prove to myself that I'm not weak. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..... but I mean its just like I said more than once now..... you have control over your body's actions, you are in control, just dont do it. just plain and simple dont do it. dont smoke. |
||||||||
|

|
more importantly, how do i quit biting my fingernails?????!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just stop. or uhhhh lets see, wipe your ass with your hand for a while, that will work, youll never want to stick'em in your mouth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Stop biting them. |
||||||||
|
|

you insensitive assholes, i need support |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wrap your hands in bandages, that will fix it |
||||||||
|
|

mimi: i was serious. but if your not willing to try then you can buy this stuff that has a bitter taste, made specially for nail biters, I cant remember what its called. but it does exist in many places in the world. so you should do fine for being a yank. |

my dad used to put tobasco sauce on my fingers when i was a little kid to make me stop sucking my finger -- didn't work at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Nilbite" is a product you can buy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, I have the habit of chewing on the side of my mouth/lips. Hard to break because I do it without thinking about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do that too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i grind my teeth at night -- my dentist thinks i should wear a mouth guard! i could hardly wear my retainer to bed, so i can't imagine a mouth guard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't get how people grind their teeth. I can't even do it intentionally. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i cut down on the smoking recently...ended up coughing and spitting out phlegm....so i started to smoke more again...no cough, no phlegm.... it's weird...i could probably quit smoking entirely without bigger problems...but i dont wanna.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can quit whenever i want, matter of fact i quit every day...... i mean seriously, whats next? the gym? pottery class? going to pregnancy school with your fancy gf?....i am telling ya, you dont see it now, but youre on your way to becoming pussywhipped boy |
||||||||

the cravings only last for a few days, to if you can go about 4 days without a fag then your cured =o) |
||||||||

i said this in another thread (about nicoteen withdrawal).. i've given up in the last 6months. still given in to the odd cigarette when out with mates (can't remember the last time though) but i havent been buying any. it really is a one-day-at-a-time thing. i read somewhere that cravings only last about 10-30 seconds.. if you can resist for that period of time, then youve beat it.. until the next craving. the longer you keep on like that, the more infrequent the cravings get. last time i had a drag on a cigarette, i did it solely to see how it felt after so long without on. it was fucking disgusting. you start to physically FEEL a lot better after a while too. things taste real again. and the spare cash is definitely a bonus. hang on in there.. its only shit at first. just dont turn into a righteous anti smoker. as the late bill hicks said: "i'd quit, if only i wasn't so scared i'd become one of you" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah its one day at a time thing for sure. just keep up the will power. or youll just keep smoking anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i quit. the first two or three days were real fuckers, but after that it was easy. just quit. but you really have to want to quit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. if you don't want to, theres no point lying to yourself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is what ive been saying all along, its just will power. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is indeed. nicoteen leaves your system in 24hours. after that its up to you. |
||||||||

acrid milk hall: yup! defenitly, i had a hard time quitting after smoking heavily for 8 long years, but I did it, and it wasnt that hard at all after the first week you just gotta do other things, everytime I was at the bar or at a friends drinking or smoking pot id think about a smoke cause they mostly all smoke and id just say "fuckit, no way im smoking, that would be giving in", which it would be. so i didnt. and now im wayyyy happier to be smoke free. I think its becoming a health trend or something, which is good cause I know a lot of people around me who are now non smoking too, its rather quite interesting. |

I smoke 90 percent out of habbit/boredom and 10 percent out of physical addiction. but if I start thinking about quiting then all the sudden I'm like "damn I want one right now" and if I wait very long then I end up having 2 in a row. it's really dumb. I mean I'll quit eventually I know I can. I quit drinking for a year when I was being an alchoholic. so I know I am capable of quiting substances. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah well appearently your not capable of quitting smoking you just aid it yourself. no one is capable of doing so until they have already done so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the boredom thing is what breaks your will.. every time if your will's for breaking, that is. |

I smoke a lot and I don't want to quit. It would have many adverse effects on my daily life. You see I use smoking as a way to take a break. It gets me outside, I walk around, I think about other things. Then I'm able to go back in and work on things without getting writer's block or a brainfreeze or what have you. |

here they are raising taxes for sigarets again: 80 cents! a package, so i decided to buy me 10 packages today; that saved me over 8 euro's; now i can buy me an ep/ or lp or something :) btw..i'm a happie smoker, smoked for over 15 years now, i don't want to stop. |
||||||||

No advice. Keep on smoking. Gotta keep the kool kids kool. |

hey - if you want to smoke, smoke. what i dont understand is people who bitch about the fact they smoke all the time, but dont do anthing about it. when i decided i wanted to stop (for all kinds of reasons) i did. im not saying it was easy. i was weak willed for quite a while.. but eventually i made up my mind that i definitely did want to quit (after a period of cutting down + seeing how it felt) |
||||||||

I've been meaning to start a theard about how I'm sick of friends who have "quit" smoking and yet they smoke my cigarettes every chance they get. I normally only smoke half a pack a day but now I'm going through twice that. Its expensive for me too. goddamn, those fuckers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
be strict with them. if they really want to quit, they'll love you more for it + you'll love them more for not smoking all your cigarettes. if they don't want to quit yet, they should stop conning themselves + start buying their own smokes again.. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
