Ok, so Im up to a pack a day, and I smoke weed almost everyday. Its bad. I want it to stop. The biggest problem, is that both of my roommates are also my best friends in Boston. They both smoke like mad... Ive tried quiting before, (cigs) and it didnt work... because everywhere you turn, you smell cig smoke, or when we are chillin, someone undoubtably will have a cig. Also, my roommates smoke alot of weed. 1. The cigs make me feel crappy. 2. The weed makes me fucking lazy. How the hell am I supposed to quit when my 2 roommates/best friends are heavy users? Being surrounded by this stuff 24/7 isnt the best way to stop... any advice? |

have a bubblegum instead of a cigarette. First you can make it half half... when you want cigarette you eat bubblegum instead of it, and next time you want (time should past!) you have a cigarette... if this runs well... make half half again... after a time you have one cigarette a day, and 3 packs of gums :) |

In your case maybe some nicotine gum or "the patch" could help - when I quit smoking I got so crabby I had to stay away from people as much as possible, especially smokers. The other option is to move out! :D Seriously, cigarettes are so goddamned addictive that the optimum solution would be to spend a week at a treatment center. But it just isn't taken seriously enough - possibly because it gives so little pleasure that it isn't considered as much of a vice as drugs or alcohol. Yay puritanism! By all means go for it - the feeling of realizing you don't have cravings anymore is just incredible. |

heres a tip for you.... JUST DO IT. You have control over your arm picking up a pack of smokes, and lighting a smoke and smoking it. You have this physical control, so just dont do it. I know it sounds strange, but thats how I quit, and I had smoked for almost 9 years, a pack a day... easily. It wasnt even too hard after the first week, just fuckin dont smoke, its not like your cravings take control of your movements. So if you really want to quit, and I mean actually want to then it should be easy. |

I know, hence the ":P" Seriously though, I'm glad I never started smoking. As of January 1st this year smoking is prohibited at work and various public places here (train stations for example). So many people are/have trying/tried to quit smoking and I'm just happy I don't have to go through that shit. |

Will power is the only way...anyone who tells you differently is lying. If you don't want to stop then don't stop, and it sounds as though you don't really want to stop because you wouldn't have given in so easily. |

do you feel addicted to the nicotine? i know for me it's never been that. i've just always enjoyed smoking. and at work it allows me to really relax and take a short break. it's a relaxing routine.. |

I'm down to 2 or 3 cigs a day, I'm not trying to completely quit but I need to cut back alot cause I'm taking vocal lessons and I've noticed it definetly hinders me. what works for me is to keep your mouth busy. eat candy, chew gum, chew on a pen even. eating sunflower seeds too. I'm told after around a week you won't feel much craving anymore so if you really want to you can make it that first week. Also I'm told that your average cigarette craving only lasts 30 seconds at a time. so you just have to be strong for 30 seconds and find something to think about and find something else to do with your mouth. it's working for me man. _john |

He wants to stop not double his habit you silly fool :D! |

I wonder how long it'll be before someone says something dirty about "finding something to do with your mouth" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
find something to do that will take your mind off smoking. for instance, i cannot smoke or even think of smoking when playing video games or writing music. then again, i smoke like a chimney and my balls hurt, so maybe i'm wrong. |

Just think, hey, i'll probably die soon if I keep this up. But if you like sitting around being a brain-dead lardass then continue. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, I occasionaly smoke pot but only when it's around in a social setting and thats like twice a month. I can't imagine it being "impossible" to quit, just be like I don't want to do this anymore, it's killing me in more ways than one it's just not worth it. ( and it's a waste of $$!!, put your cig money in a jar everytime u'd go buy a pack, at the end of the year you'l have a nice chuck of change to go buy sound equip or go on a mini vacation) |

Observe your thoughts and feelings, positive and negative, about drinking or using. Thoughts and feelings which support continued use are called the Addictive Voice (AV); those which support abstinence are you. When you recognize and understand your AV, it becomes not-you, but "it," an easily-defeated enemy that has been causing you to drink. All it wants is pleasure. "I want a drink," becomes, "It wants a drink." Think to yourself, "I will never drink again," and listen for its reaction. Your negative thoughts and feelings are your AV talking back to you. Now, think, "I will drink/use whenever I please." Your pleasant feelings are also the AV, which is in control. Recovery is not a process; it is an event. The magic word is "Never," as in, "I will never drink/use again." Recognition defeats short-term desire, and abstinence soon becomes effortless. Complete separation of "you" from "it" leads to complete recovery and hope for a better life. The only time you can drink is now, and the only time you can quit for good is right now. "I will never drink/use again," becomes, "I never drink now." It's not hard; anyone can do it. (written from the perspective of drinking and drug abuse but it helped me quit smoking) |

I have quit after smoking a pack a day for 5 years. My advice. Quit smoking the weed. Then take your time. Don't be mean. Grow up. Move away from your friends.. Quit smoking in isolation. Maybe move to your parents for 6 months or something..Quiting ciggs is different than quitting weed. |
