I quit smoking

[TribalElder]

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.
