I quit smoking
 

10 days now. Feeling great.

good for you!

Congrats. That's good stuff.

I got tired of being a slave to that shit.

Being a "pinchay flouta smoker".

I'm done for good. I quit for me instead of some job or some chick.

Congrats.

Why????? We are all dead on the 21st!

congrats. I've been struggling to quit. I think about quitting all the time and I never can make it.

Dam thats great!
Congrats.
I quit once for 14 years, then started back up during my divorce.
Be careful. Once an addict always an addict.

That's really awesome. Hope you keep it up. I actually just started smoking a few weeks ago.

Glad I never took up the habit. It's got to be a drain on the finances to be a smoker these days. 50+ bucks a carton? Wow.

Good job, DPS. Stay strong.

LMAO

Well done!

I quit back in 96. Cold turkey. I remember when I first quit, I took a drag off a cig about a week later and it tasted like ass. That was it.

Price alone would make me quit.

When I smoked, I was only paying $16/carton.

Its only 22 around here unless you spoil yourself.

Where?

Patches and regular chewing gum. First couple of days suck, but it gets easier.

Don't I know it.

LMAO

I'M DOING THIS!:evil:

been exactly 6 months today for me! keep it up!

Yep ! You'll probably fail.

You serious? Son of a bitch! That alone is enough to quit.

Keep up the good work DPS. Don't let it get it's wretched claws into you again.

Any particular brand of patch? I want to quit as soon as the Mayans are proven wrong.

I quit 3 1/2 years ago after 35 years. Chantix it worked tremendously.

Congrats!

Awesome. Good luck!

Is that OTC or prescription?

Keep it up, it's gets easier.

That's for premium brands. You can get off brands for 20-25 bucks. Still too much and no I don't buy cartons.

Prescription. I only needed half. The best thing about it was you picked your day to quit and you start taking it one week before that date. That way the drug has a chance to get built up. And no I did not have any side effects.

Good for you man. Hope you stay that way. Best of luck

Day 24 for me.

LMAO

The wal mart brand works just as good as nicoderm. You can also order free patches at 1-800-quit now.

I used Chantix the last time I quit, and had I been quitting for me instead of a woman, I'd be a non-smoker with more clean time. Chantix is expensive as ****, but it does work extrememly well.

Right on!:thumb:

Kc metro. Carton of decades can be found cheaper than that. But they're awful.

great for you, still stuck on half pack a day.

I did it about 11 years ago. Got super sick, couldn't actually get them down. Told myself I wouldn't do it anymore, and didn't. Congrats and good luck.

Were you on fire?

Anyway, congrats! Your kid's lives will be better for it...

hey good for you. where there's smoke, there's fire :D

Congrats man! I'm also quitting after almost 9 years of almost a pack a day.

Same method as you, the patches, 21 mg for the 1st 6 weeks, and some gum.

Im on Day 17 and it does get easier...

I'm on day 656 and refuse to go back. The shit smells filthy to me now.

Be careful with chantrix I heard people get hooked on that and they just trade one addiction for another.

My winning formula for quitting smoking after 10 years+ pack a day habit.
I switched to chew for a while. Skoal straight long cut. This is how I fed the physical craving for nicotine. After a while I slowly cut back on the chewing where I got down to 1 dip a day in the evening. Eventually I started going a few days between dips and then quit chewing. I didn't smoke in the house so that was easy enough. There are a few trigger moments such as after a meal, in the car, or after an xxx encounter with the woman. Behavior modification is the name of the game. Recognize the urge and knowingly disregard it. Eventually it becomes second nature.

I made sure to get drunk a few times at home to train for when I hit the smoke filled bar. I always ****ed up before when I was drunk. I graduated when I got totally shitfaced at the bar and didn't bum a smoke from anyone. Now the shit seems so filthy I can't believe I smoked as long as I did.

TL;DR

Congrats, keep going, **** cigs

Guys It's not too late to start smoking pot! It's a tremendous habit.

Quit cold turkey a year and 7 months ago. No patches or any of that shit. I don't think my pack-a-day habit was about nicotine, to be honest with you. I just really, really enjoyed smoking a cigarette. It always gave me a good way to break from whatever I was doing, collect my thoughts or have an awesome conversation. It also gave me a false sense of stress relief. I still miss it to this day but it's just the weakest echoes of weakness at this point in time.

I still smoke a cigar every last weekend of the warm weather months, though.

Skoal is disgusting and honestly, smoking is disgusting in general. If you really need too, get tobacco and roll it yourself in a RAW hemp paper or pre rolled cone, much better. I've quit for years and the smell and sight of one alone makes me feel sick, I only smoke the finest kush now in a hemp paper or glass.

This used to be my master.


The best solution I found was reducing the situations I was chewing in, replaced them with gum, and honsetly eating healthier. I always wanted to chew/smoke when I got pretty drunk.

Still get drunk but I think the other steps I took have helped reduce that desire IMO.

Still feelin' good. It gets easier every day. Should have done this months ago.

Congrats dude, thats a very wicked woman to quit.

Many doctors say its even worse than bucking heroin.

It is.

Congrats, keep it up. My dad is quit now just over 6 weeks (smoked for >50 years)

Copenhagen Long Cut .... 20 years of it.... it'll be ONE year without come January 2nd. No Patches, no hypnosis.... just honestly wanted to quit. And with the price of this addicting shit now.....Thank God I'm done w/it.... Good Luck

Nearing the end of week 3. Man I wish I would have done this sooner.

Now get Jesus in your life son and you will be set.

So glad I never picked it up. I tried a few times as a kid...hated it.

I'm just picking up the habit. I'm not really hooked yet, but I hope to be within the month.

This thread makes me want a cigarette and a beer. I especially love that first drag.
That's it. Happy hour I'm coming.

what kind of dipshit response is that?

I quit a fairly strong coke habit cold turkey about 20 years ago. It was easier to quit then smoking.

Thinking of trying to quit again next year.

it's been about 24 hours since my last cig. Going for it again...

Cigarettes? I thought OP was talking about poles.

Quitting weed is harder then quitting cigarettes especially if the weed is absolute kush.

I have smoked at least a pack a day for over 20 years. I had gotten bad as of late. 2-3 packs a day, even more if I was drinking. I would get up every hour to hour and a half to smoke at night. I have tried just about everything throughout the years. A person has to be ready themselves to quit. I have been trying to kick it again for a while now. I am using the patch (equate brand) seems to work just as good as the more expensive ones, make sure to get the clear ones, the other one seems to fall off before the day is through. I also us the BLU electric cig when I have a bad craving. I do good some days and then fall off the wagon for a day or two, but I keep climbing back on. When I drink it goes out the window every time. I am sleeping throughout the night now, and when I screw up I have never went over a pack. It is definitely tough as shit, but unbelievable how much better it makes you feel. I put on about 20 lbs since trying to stop and now trying to get that off, but don't have the munchies anymore like I did at first.

Do you want to be taken seriously?

lol, no it's not

not even close

of course it works just as well. The active ingredients are the same. That goes for every OTC drug as well.

But it is hard quitting. It ties into almost everything I do. These habits become really hard to break.

LOL

You have Don ****ing Draper as your avatar. That funnay.

Been 8.5 months for me. Just hang in there it gets easier

You guys on here probably smoke dirt though and don't know what real kush is. Cigarettes are highly addictive but it's disgusting and kills you.

Chewing tobacco is an effective alternative.

If you want cancer in the mouth.

Duh.

chewing tobacco always made me feel really sick...

As someone who used to do it quite frequently and rarely does it anymore, my best advice would be to use pouches. Easier on teh gums and no cleanup required.

However, it is a nasty habit that should be avoided.

Good to hear you stopped smoking. But you still flame a little. :dom:

If it weren't for drinking, I'd never smoke.

Seriously, in the last decade, I've taken one smoke break at work.

But if I've got a beer in one hand, I need a smoke in the other.

i forgot about pouches, i did them once.

though i don't think they sell them here in canada, i tried redman a few times as well.

Entering week 4.

You should be in the free and clear by now, man. Congrats.

You will still get cravings, but they're going to be weaker and weaker. If you had enough willpower to last the first 3 weeks, you'll be crushing those little demons whispering in your ear with ease in week 4.

I already do. It's what allows me to show even a modicum of grace to an asshat such as yourself, Faid fool.

How about being a Chiefs season tix holder?

NO NO NO it's privilage and I will support them and tailgate and spend the money on this crap product forevar!!!!/True Fan Dumbass
