i'm quitting cold turkey today!

[xer0s]

My ex-stepdad smoked FIVE PACKS A DAY. He had a massive heart attack...

lol, no shit?

A guy like that could have the same lighter for years, only needing to strike it once or twice a day...

I've been quit 8 months now.

If - like me - you have no will power, the best way to quit and get over the temptation is to have friends "monitor" you and ensure you quit by guilt factor.

I quit, cold turkey, and didn't smoke for a bit over 3 years. I had been smoking since I was 11. 2 packs a day. I started again out of boredom. I don't think I would've gotten rid of the effect of smoking all those years by staying off. After I started back up, I don't smoke more than 5 or 6 a day.

I quit smoking, cold turkey, about a week now... and it wasn't planned or expected really. I watched this youtube video:

And cigarettes haven't tasted the same since, I can TASTE and FEEL the tar in my mouth now. It's like, if you're eating some exotic dish and it tastes awesome, then someone says "oh btw, it's donkey anus", it immediately tastes disgusting right? Tar in cigarettes is a TOXIC compound of chemicals which paralyses the cilla inside your lungs and coats your body in a yellowish residue, thus yellow nails and teeth... now watch the video and see if cigs taste the same again for you

Giving up smoking is a bitch, fo sho.
I'm on a new stint (since april 12th) and it's going quite well.
Mainly because I started a new job then, and my life pattern changed.

That's really the key, though:
I associated smoking with everyday habits, and because that whole routine has changed, I don't have those Pavlov associations anymore.

So basically, my advice: don't live like you're used to for some time
Hang in there

[scared?]

you could always try nicorettes or nicotinell, if cold turkey doesn't work. after all, the nicotine's relatively harmless, it's just the rest of the shit that kills you

that's the part that makes it so difficult. It's not quitting smoking, it's the fucking lifestyle change! SO overwhelming atm. btw I still feel like shit today, this shit better be gone by the time I wake up tomorrow

Did your father smoke?

[xer0s]

Turb is a bastard child...

[fKd]

hows the quitting going now?

[Tsakali]

Haven't smoked yet, and I think finally this morning the gut feeling has subsided. But fuck me, everything I used to do is associated with smoking. I kinda feel like a tool not smoking. I feel like sum kind of moron.

[Dark Metal]

You should suck on a cock.

[Tsakali]

hard to believe , I know but that doesn't work for everyone DM

[Ryoki]

The physical bit takes like three days and it's the easy part.

Good luck man, i hope to soon follow your brave example

[MKJ]

[Ryoki]

yeah who am i kidding

[Tsakali]

what kind of f...

fuck u...

btw i still smoke pot. but that's the next thing that's gotta go.

[seremtan]

you could always just keep smoking until either you can no longer satisfy your gf because your limp dick is clogged up with all that yellow shit, or you get your first scary chest pains

then you'll have all motivation you need

quitting smoking was the second hardest thing I've ever done. The first was quitting smokeless tobacco.
