wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Anyone else trying? This will be my, well I ran out of fingers, time trying. I always make the mistake of just smoking one here and there and then whamo, I am buying another pack. Cold turkey I guess. I am about 15 hrs and counting. I wish you could just buy one. Someone needs to come out witha vending machine which only allows me to buy one at a time. Just to take the edge off. Oh fuck, I am rambling.

old dirty bastard Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I started using the nicorette gum sunday so far so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I quit cold turkey but I wasnt a big smoker to begin with, a pack would usually have last me close to 2 weeks. Whenever I get the urge I try to chew on some gum or sunflower seeds. It worse when you fill up gas and have the urge. When I go in to pay I try to buy some sunflower seeds, slushy, sour patch kids... something that will occupy me for a little bit. Good luck, its tough.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I am usually a pack a day. At worst 3 packs a day. But that has been a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 3 a day? Wow. I was told if you have to do that. Dont "bum" go buy a pack take 1 out destroy the rest and smoke the one. This will get to you when you are paying 5 buck for 1 smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I am usually a pack a day. At worst 3 packs a day. But that has been a few years ago. my grandpa smoked 3 packs a day for well over 50 years and watching him slowly die in pain for a year after having a stroke was enough for me not to smoke a ton. But I do like to enjoy one or a cigar when im outside drinkin during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 chantix worked for me. I smoked for 10 years, about a pack a day, you just have to have the will to quit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 My wife and I both quit. I quit about 2 years ago, she quit a year ago. This may sound wierd, but the best way to drop a habit is to pick up a new (more healthy) one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leez Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 i was genetically predisposed to nicotine addiction... started with camels, then pall malls, then worked my way down to benson & hedges 100's.... was doing at least 2 packs a day w/ minimum of 10 cups of coffee (on full boost all the time)... first thing in the morning, my hand was reaching for the ciggs & zippo before opening my eyes.... made 6 strong but unsuccessful attempts to quit... then after 30 years of puffin...my employer offered to go halfie's on a $600 cessation program... it was called "full-life" smoke enders... 1 week of mental & diet prep...lifestyle & attitude changes....then shock treatment while shotgunning a brand of cigarettes you hate (like menthol)... results: cold turkey...no cravings....no problems other than the smell of smoke had become so repulsive that my lungs resisted inhaling anywhere i encountered cigarette smoke... i don't think the "Full Life" program is still in town anymore but if you are psyched up to the max...& find a program with a good prep phase & offers the shock therapy, i believe you'll have a real good chance of success... i went with a class of about 20 people...we had a 76% success rate.... that was on march 7th 1989 at 7:20 pm....i haven't had a craving since... good luck dude!

suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 My biggest vice is when I'm out drinking. I end up smoking way more than I normally do. I've tried to quit a few times cold turkey knowing the end result would be fail, which of course it was. So here I am today.. Pack of Newport 100s once a day. It's a habit that's robbing me of my hard earned money haha. Doesn't help much that all my friends are smokers as well. Good luck with quitting man, when you find that huge secret that makes you able to quit the next day fill us in on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CbusBusa Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I smoked a pack a day for about 8 years. I tried the one cig here and there a bunch of times. Well I started working for the DoD Feb 4th so I quit cold turkey on the 1st. What helped me was the fact that the ol' lady still smoked. So riding her ass made it easier for me to quit. Couldn't be a hipocrit ya know. Haven't smoked since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Smoked for almost ten years, then woke up one day and decided I didn't want to anymore. Haven't smoked for near 5 years and it was the best thing I ever did. Its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
