Breaking the habit

[SonnyPunk]

Ok so I have decided to quit smoking cold turkey...I am on day 2 and I want to kill everyone around me...I dont know if I can go on...does anyone know of any good tips besides spending 50 bucks on the patch or that gum?

[oc_dodo]

just be an asshole, my roomate is quitting too so the only thing i can say is tuff it out for the first week then it gets easier. there really isn't anything that you can do, like eating carrot sticks and shit don't work.

Well I was really feeling like I was gonna blow up while I was driving because I didnt have it so I put a straw in my mouth and that kinda cooled me down...I guess the trick is to keep your brain busy so it wont think about it.

My friend's dad quit cold turkey and when he gets a craving, he goes and stands on his porch, I don't really know why, but that was almost a year ago. He still stands on the porch, but i think he won. You just have to find your own little thing.

you just have to have a shitload of determination. and yeah, try not to think about it. i started smoking but never kept it up. too wary of addiction. sorry you have to go through that.

i think ive smoked twice in my life. i think its one of the most pointless things ever. i always give my friends shit for smoking.

Yeah ive been picking up a few small tricks to ease myself through it...I think its mostly phsycological. I just hope it gets easier I cant live like this forever.

You did it to yourself, remember that. :D I hate people who smoke, so any amount of discomfort they go through I have zero sympathy for them. Good choice quiting though, stick with it.

[kidinthecorner]

O ya.. try to stay with a good friend if it gets tough. Have them not allow you to smoke no matter what, because then you have 2 people working against the addiction instead of just yourself. "One wont hurt anybody..." - thats all it takes to get back on.

My aunt emptied all the ash trays in her house into a jar of water. She said anytime she wanted a cigarette she opened the jar and smelled it. She said the smell alone made her never want to touch another cigarette.

I hate people who say they hate people who smoke...no one wants to be addicted to smoking...I used to hate smokers myself until I started doing it on occassion because I found it to ease stress and relax me. You go into it thinking "Ok if I dont do it everyday I wont get addicted...I'll be a social smoker. I can stop whenever I want to." Then before you know it your smoking a pack a day and the thought of ever stopping makes you nervous and sweaty. It's a tough thing to go through...and yes it is no ones fault but my own.
On the bright side I am doing very good...Im chewing tons of sugarless gum...when Im driving I put a straw in my mouth (It helps actually.)...so hopefully I can conquer this thing.

um...drugs are bad. don't do drugs, mmmkuy? hehe


uh yeah, i don't care if people do drugs. i do them once in a blue moon or something. but i wish you luck on quitting.

[goaway04]

I'm actually currently quitting cigarettes. Clove cigarettes, to be exact. I have four cigs right in front of me at all times on the computer desk as a challenge, and so far, I haven't given into any cravings. When I feel like smoking, I talk to somebody I trust for comfort ... or maybe just focus on a different habit. Maybe watch a movie, listen to some music ... anything to get my mind off of it.

Good luck, man.

Exactly. Kill yourself slowly if you want to, but I don't want to have to be around you while you're doing it. Go do heroin, crack, whatever the fuck you want as long as I'm not around. I have to deal with people who smoke so why shouldn't I hate them?
