I quit smoking cold turkey yesterday spontaneously

[Phrenetic]

if Zyban, Patch and Gum didnt work then how the fuck can quitting cold turkey work?

well, i find im doing much better than on the patch, cravings aren't that bad now. this is fucked.

and i Quit yesterday because i ran out of smokes and i didn't have the urge to buy anymore, still haven't. got through a whole meeting and hope get get past the 72 hour mark and all that fun stuff.

im not really trying to prove a point, i just think its my time to quit....

Dont try to quit, just quit! Good job.

good luck.

I love when people say "I quit cold turkey yesterday!" because I see them smoking usually within 48 hours.

You get bragging rights when you finish week 2.

I "quit" smoking when I started at my new job 3 months ago. I am not aloud to smoke here. I never smoke unless i've been drinking. I know it's stupid, but I can't seem to kick that habbit when i've been drinking. :(

Wooow. That's a lot of smokes in one day. Think of all the money you're going to save with this move. You should tally up the potential money you'll be saving and buy yourself something nice if you reach a one year mark.

Good luck.

I tried to smoke on Saturday, actually. Best I could do was a clove cigarette.

It's weird, usually when I go to Lotus I'm being offered cigarettes left right and center, and the one day I'm like "I'll have a smoke tonight" nobody's offering.

'Sokay, I prefer smoking cloves anyways.

if you set rules for your self with cigarettes it is much easier to control consumption.

little things like keeping your smoke pack in your work locker so you dont smoke cigs at home can go along way.

I started smoking when I was 23. Addiction's never been an issue with it for me. I smoke on average once a month.

Quitting is easy, I've done it thousands of times!

You can't say you've quit when it's only been a day. Can't say you've really "quit" either when you still do smoke when you drink or get fucked up. Otherwise you're going to sound like those lame quasi-vegetarians. "OH I DON'T EAT RED MEAT, JUST CHICKEN, I'M A VEGETARIAN!!"

FAIL!!

Seriously though, a pack a day is fuckin' nasty. Good luck trying to quit.

the bigger the showboat about quitting smoking, the more likely it is you'll hear the excuse train come into town a few days later when they're back smoking again.

why don't people just shut up about it and tell people they've quit when they've actually gone a solid three months of quitting? that way you're not letting anyone down and you've actually quit.

I did the same thing and didn't touch a single cigarette since July.

I don't smoke now, although I will if I drink and someone around me is smoking. Don't consider it 100% quitting because of this.

And I'm absouletly terrible when this happens. This is probably the worst idea in the world since all it does is make me want to smoke again.

claire watched me quit quietly (she was the one who knew, but no one else did) even now, 6 months later, people still offer me smokes because they forget i quit. because i didn't make a big scene.

it was really easy though.
i just stopped.
because i was being quiet about it i didn't talk about smoking or not smoking and used the out of sight out of mind theory.
and it worked.


if i did want a smoke bad i would try one of those herbal nasty ones so that i remembered why i quit.

it's a great action or rather inaction plan.

[Phrenetic]

omg things taste way too wierd today!

[Ragga_Wh0re]

i quit 3 years ago. However, when im really stressed or drinking (which is about once every 2 months) i smoke.

I hate how it plugs my head up and decreases my lung cappacity.yucko.

[mithridate]

welll... if you make a HUGE show about it, and more and more people know, you know you cant back out because then all those people will think your a loser
SO

you have to stay quit.

or else everyone will be boo-ing at you.
