who wants to quit smoking with me?

*STARFISH* · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 03

i seriously need to quit.
ive quit a few times for a couple of weeks/months but i cant kick the habit permanantly.
and since its national anti-smoking/quit smoking week i thought id give it another go.
anyone wanna do this together?
a bunch of people for to support and stuff... and i dunno make a contest out of it.. whoever goes the longest without a cigarette wins.. we'll pool money.. winner takes all.. or something.
meh i dunno, just an idea.

a good way to quit is make bets with several people. bet them each fifty bucks that you will not smoke before them. if you get enough people, smoking can seriously put you in debt. another good thing is that people will eventually cave, making you fifty dollars richer.

i made this bet with someone and lost. he hasn't smoked since.

thats a good idea tim
i found when i was quitting that you cant do it all in one stop. You need to cut down. If you wanna stop by the end of Feb you take 1/2 of what you normally smoke a week and do that every week for so many weeks. eventually you wont smoke, but the first 3 months are soo hard to stop. Stress and other stuff just wants you to have one. Bring gum with you around you go. the cravings only last a few min and be really stong and tell EVERYON that your trying to stop and make sure they hit you if you wanna smoke

hehe i hope this helps. *hugs* good luck

I don't smoke, but I'll encourage you by not drinking until you've kicked the habit. Fuck, that's gonna be hard for me too =P

i'm gonna have XTC ciggerettes at kiss if anyone cares
it's a 'form' of quitting

MistressSpankME · #17 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

I'll try with you christine..But the thing is, right now I'm just happy with keeping it down to maybe part of a smoke every couple weeks/month or something. So I would be able to walk up stairs without dying, but I couldn't win a bet (at least honestly :P)

I am so in! I've decided that quitting smoking will be my birthday present to myself. Friday is my B-day, so after that, I'm in!
