View Full Version : Time to quit smoking!
Man o man... My room mate and I decided to quit smoking. This upcoming weekend is the last weekend of smoke. I know its going to be hard, I've tried before. I get REALLY aggravated and ticked off when I don't get a smoke for a day of two. But this time its different, I WANT to quit. I think I'm already getting anxiety attacks, I can't stop thinking how I'm going to get through the next work week without smoking. I have a feeling that one of my co-workers will get severely bruised :-) I'm picking up a 14 day load of gum on Sunday, hopefully it will keep me sane long enough for cravings to ease down. If you guys have any tips, especially for those times when you feel like shooting someone in the head, just DYING for a puff or two, please share. You can't drink coffee when you are on the gum therapy and it's just going to make things even harder. I do know that in the end, it will be better for me and those around me if I'm smoke free. UGH! For anyone out there who thinks of starting smoking or just started, DON'T! You become a slave, literally, helpless, nervous biomass. I can't even call myself a man, cause I feel so helpless against this freaking drug addiction.
I'm really looking forward to sitting in a smoke free area next time I'm out for a dinner :D

Quiting smoking is rough... Ive noticed that when I quit for a while, and decide to just have 1 smoke because, "Ive quit this long, I can handle just one smoke to celebrate."
Cigarettes taste like crap after you have quit for a while. Whatever you do, if youre serious about quiting, quit cold turkey and dont have ANY smokes at all. Not even a single drag, cause that will just make you start back up. Its really rough to quit, and I need to do it myself.
Goodluck man.

Haha! good jub Matt! Hmm.. I've never smoked ever, or drank any alcohol or anything, heck I've never even drank coffee before. I guess I wouldn't know how it is like to have to quit something, but hey, you can do it!:D
No smoking, no alcohol, no coffee... TX-Lord, are you even human?

My da quit when he was like 53(started when he was say 13). He gagged for about a month (as the toxins where removed), and then he became a totally different person. I would keep thinking to myself, who is this guy?
He's so happy all the time? Who the f is this?
Anyway, I know my old man. If he can do it, you can too.
You must do it cold tho. No going back, no regrets.
Cheers mates!
Here's to VICTORY!

I just quit recently..It was one of the hardest things to do..
I always said to myself that I could quit in no time..Cold Turkey..Never could do it..until one day I realized i was up to 1 pack and 1/2 a day and I had no choice..It was changing the way I feel..
Its amazing how your body craves for it..Its also amazing how much better you feel in life..Best choice I ever made..

coffee tastes nasty, so why try and get used to it... same with cigs, theyre just not something enjoyable until you actually make yourself enjoy them... but theres always a niche of alchol thats just plain tasty, and in moderation its not a bad thing :)

That's just it, i've never thought coffee tasted bad.
Cigs suck my ass, i'd never go near one.
Yes, alcohol is good :)

I say we stop posting about anything else, and just revive every thread and derail each one. I'm pretty good at derailing, all I have to do is get me some beer, and I'm ready to go. Any takers?

I'm down to 2 or 3 cigarettes a day. That's ALMOST quitting. I just can't quite do it ALL THE WAY.
Like, I really need 1 cigarette when I get off work, and one before I go to bed.
