Title: Today, I quit...
Post by: NiceGuysFinishLast on September 05, 2007, 04:15:52 PM
Smoking, that is. I woke up and said "Damn, I'm sick of having a sore throat in the mornings, sick of becoming easily winded during activities that used to be routine".. so I quit. Easy as that.

I'd like to see an honest update everyday on your progress.  If you make it past day 3, then you're well on your way.  Past day 7 and it's all down hill from there.  :cheers:

Sure, I can do that. Honestly, I was never much of a smoker.. on days when I'm not around friends who smoke, I don't smoke... On really stressful days, I'll do about 2 or 3... On nights when I go out drinking... 10-15.. that's what was killing me...

Tell as many people as possible that you quit for good. Makes it harder to start again.

I thought quiting was easy.  And I gave up smoking (when I was drinking) and chewing in the same day!

Good luck, it can get tough.  I was a pack a day smoker and I quit cold turkey about three months ago.  The first few days are pretty rough and at about six weeks I had horrible cravings.  They passed and now I only have the occasional craving.

Distract yourself!
I only quit because I got back on the bike (road bike...like with pedals). That was the first time I have successfully quit for 2+ months and going.
Good luck with quitting, I know how hard it is :thumb:

After 27 years, I've lost count of how many times I've said "I Quit'.
Did give up for a year once. After that length of time, i had no cravings or any desire to have a smoke again.
Until that one night where i got totally shaZam! faced (a normal weekend for me at the time)  & thought
"just one". Just one turned into buying a pack that night.

Trust me when i tell you, if your going to quit, then quit.

Good luck.
