Quit smoking
Well it has been 11 days and counting without a cigarette. Whew! After smoking for 8 years it is nice to say that I finally quit. Thank god for the patch.
For those out there who are skeptical...you can do it! Quitting with friends helps a lot too. |

I haven't smoked one since new years, it was really hard the first few days. But I'm glad to say that I've quit also. Keep up the good work and don't give in!

I smoked for 9 years. (I'm 25 and quit 2 years ago).
Early on you must think about it like you're building upon days of being a non-smoker. And accept the fact that you will never smoke again for the rest of your life, or you will sabotage yourself. Good luck! You'll never regret it. Looking back, probably one of the most retarded things I ever took up.

good luck to those who just quit and going on strong. I think what helped me most was trying to quit after you get the flu or something or sore throat. It gives you a couple day headstart since you wouldn't or shouldnt be smoking during that time anyway. I still have one every now and then socially, but the craving is gone and I'm glad. I hope it never returns. |

that's what usually gets me to quit too. i'll get really sick and quit for a month or so, then one night i'll get drunk and smoke thus bringing the cycle back on.

Yea i'm 26 and turning 27 soon so i know my body probley not as abled as before! I goto gym everyday but quitting smoking is probley the best thing i could do to start this new years! The hardest part with quitting as i'm going through it now is the habit! Mornings, night times, driving, i get the itch to spark one up! Luckily i've fought it off and going to hope these urges go away soon!

IMHO, the patch is bullshit. the only way to truly commit to quit is to just stop smoking entirely. i've tried the patch a dozen times but find it just makes me want a cigarette even more.

Right now i'm just taking it one day at a time and so far so good! I wish i wouldve done it sooner! Better now than never!
I find the hardest was first day, i'd be moody as hell! Pissed, depressed etc etc! Now after a week long i'm not as moody, just the small urges coming and going! ie Driving , i'd be just driving to and from work and i'd be in the habit of smoking before, now i 'm just driving and dont know what else to do! lol I just turn on the radio and think about something else! |
