and am having a hard time. I turned into a hardcore smoker. I usually smoke 2 packs a day and its just a waste of money. Everytime i try to quit I cant even make it one full day.

anyone on here quit before, any tips ?

I started smoking at the age of 18 and i've been smoking for 6 years. i've tried to quit before several times and the longest that i lasted was for a month or 2. but this time i'm nearing on my one year sept. 15th


if you're finding it difficult i'd suggest that you can try the patches or the gum.


it's different for everyone so you need to find what it is that will help you stay away from cigarettes. For me, when i quit smoking i started it gradually. I used to smoke a pack a day, then cut down to 15 down to 10 and less and less till i got to 1 and then decided i didn't need it anymore and never touched a cigarette since.


you can try that, but really, the only time a person quits for good is if he/she really wants to.


good luck to you

My friend had a smoking problem before too. After his son was born, he decided to quit smoking.

What I noticed was that he didnt quit right away, he just lowered his consumption of cigarettes a day. He used to smoke close to 2 Packs a day about a year ago,for the past 3-4 months, he has not touched a single cigarette.

I guess with lowering the consumption of cigarettes mixed in with some good self-control, you can quit the habit.

Also, I hear gum helps too.

SlideWell

go to jail, thats what enabled me to quit smoking for 8 months. but im smoking again. bleh. um, gum does help, nicotine or not. i chewed it for a month.

Unholy S14

Quitters never win... The just live longer. Get to the finish line first! lol.

Nah, ive been smoking for 3 years. One of the worse decisions of my life, I swear to god. 2 packs a day, at 3.50 a pack... Over 3 years thats enough to buy a nice used car.

I tried quitting a few times, but I got smart. Right now, Im just cutting back, slowly adjusting to 3/4 a pack a day, then 1/2 a pack a day, then a few a day, which will take the longest. But after you get used to no nicotine, its not too bad. The occasional "i'll kill a baby for a smoke" cravings are the worst though. When you wake up at 3 in the morning in a cold sweat craving a smoke, its time to quit. Thats what motivated me.

Take it 1 step a day man. You GOTTA look at it that way. Youre not quitting overnight. Try lowering comsumption by a few a day. Keep your hands busy, buy a rubix cube. And always carry gum. That oral fixation will make you forget about smoking, and doing something with your hands will help too.

Also, don't hang with people that fucking smooke. All they do is bring you down with shit like "Wanna smoke?" and "Lets fucking burn and tar the fuck outta our lungs man." Just seeing it will spark that chemical dependancy cigs give off.

On a sidenote, i wanted to screen print a No Smoking sign on rags that people could carry around. Smoking = FAIL.

Sex = WIN!

patch really works, give it a try. i used the walmart brand which is half of the price.... just put one on when you woke up and take it off when you go sleep. keep your self busy and away from smoker friends, it will works nicely

I have been smoking for about 5 years now....1.5 packs a day on average...2.5 or more when at the track... lol.... I truly want to quit, and I know it is killing me, but I enjoy doing it.... I will keep an eye on this thread...

jackjack

smoked for 2 years. finally said "screw it". got tired of the dry mouth, always thirsty, clothes smelling like ass, etc. just dont think about it. chug some water. chomp on some tooth picks. in the beginning try not to hang around people that smoke, or you'll be tempted.

its hard but....... VERY possible. strong will brotha!

why do people even start smoking anyway?
back in the day i guess i could see it. no one knew how bad they were. but nowadays?

i always thought cigs were gross, so i never felt the desire to start smoking.

even if my friends smoked, i was like YUCK, not "oh lemme get one"

haha

WERDdabuilder

cause a brew and cig goes well together.

Future240

never smoked so I cant helped but good luck with quitting.

though whenever I am trying to get myself not to do somethin, I rationalize it out in my head of why I shouldnt do it which talks down the wanting to do it. Perhaps this will work for you.

It's just a matter of being mentally ready to quit. I started smoking during my first tour in Afghanistan because well... That's what you do when you're deployed.

Got up to smoking about a pack a day once I was home but by that point it was just a habit. I would wake up in the morning and just smoke a cigarette. Tried quitting, would last a day or two, then I'd be like fuck this I wanna smoke. I was a hardcore athlete in college and shit so I still work out a lot and I would literally go run 3 miles or do an insane Crossfit workout and then come right out of the gym and have a smoke. Automatic.

Then one day I was driving my car... I lit up a smoke like always, then just decided that I wasnt really enjoying it and it was doing nothing for me. So I tossed it out the window, threw away the rest of my pack, and havent touched a cigarette since. That was almost a year ago.

So I think it was just a matter of reaching that point where I was mentally prepared to let go of the habit. The first 3-4 days were kinda hard because I was having nicotine cravings but once it all gets out of your system its all just a mental game.

Chantix. It's a prescription pill. Ask your doctor, get it and I promise you'll stop smoking. I know 3 people (including my father, a 20+ year smoker) who took it, and all 3 of them are non smokers now. (on their first try with Chantix too.)

Never let anything control your life in one way or the other. Even if you avoid something because you are afraid of it, it is still controlling you. It has to come to the point where you just aren't digging em anymore. Or occasionally you can just have a smoke with a friend on a night out, and not go run out and buy a pack right after.

You can do it friend.

You just have to have faith in yourself.

That's it.

i have interesting theory that alot of people say makes sense but rarely goes with people's situations....hear this out.
when i was in high skool i met tons of kids who bit their nails, i didn't know why but at that age stress is common so i think it's some sort of way to relieve stress. maybe at some point this is how you relieve some stress and when you either are stressed or bored you begin to smoke like many other would bite their nails.

maybe by keeping busy and replacing cigarettes with gum or something that you can put in your mouth every once in a while it will help suppress maybe some of the cravings.maybe replace every other cigarette with a piece of gum until you ease yourself off.......so basically replace cigarettes with something less harmful.

eat instead of smoke

Did you know nicotine only stays in your body for 48 hours...after that is all habit.

People who have quit still have urges even after 30 years.
