vonSanta 0 #1 November 23, 2003 I'm too f*cking stupid. If a girl challenges me to something, its 99% certain I'll take her up. If she's cute, the chances are even higher. So it was "why don't you quit now" "YEAH WELL, I JUST MIGHT" and now I am committed. Been 24 hours since my last cig. Of course I wanted to up the ante so I make it "quit cold turkey with no aid such as nicotine chewing gum or whatever". Great f*cking idea, I was *really* in the zone yesterday. My head is feeling a bit light. Slight headache too. I suspect the next two days will be full of fun. But I am a Macho Man! Surely I can get through this without crying and cursing the world for its cruelty! Agh. One cig. Just ONE cig. Oooh would be nice. No. I feel like Gollum/Sméagol. Soon I'll see little "hobbitses and orcses". But I must not get close to the precioussss...however tempting. WTF did I start in the first place? HELP! Oh cruel world....

Paige 0 #3 November 23, 2003 Remember, the only way that quitting will stick is if you really want to; not because someone challenged you. That may have been the boost you needed to get clean on nicotine but realize all the health benefits for yourself, etc. Not trying to sound like I am preaching or anything. If you want to quit than stick with it and accomplish a goal not many can! That should really make you feel good about yourself. Not to mention that fact that a hot girl being impressed by that will probably dig ya a little more than she did before. We like guys that can stick to things or stick it to us Wish you the best of luck! Stick to it, you will do just fine.

vonSanta 0 #4 November 23, 2003 Well, I've wanted to quit for a while. I had a date set (1.1.2004), and then this nice lady asked me "why don't you do it now?". And I'm stupid, so there ya go I definitely want to quit for health reasons. But aside from that is the smell/price of smoking. Coming up on 25 hours now. I have cocolate cake and chicken to stuff myself with. Always have a backup plan, right? Thanks for support.

jerry81 10 #5 November 23, 2003 Best of luck to you! A friend of mine did something similar this summer- we were just getting drunk after a nice jumping day, and someone I think mentioned how he hasn't had a cigarette in a couple of years. My friend looked at me and said "Keep this for me, I'm quitting" as he handed me his freshly opened pack. Well, noone took him seriously that evening and during the next few days I'd tease him with the pack he gave me, but eventually we used those cigarettes for nobler purposes and the last time I spoke to him, he was still clean. Hope it goes good for you too. Btw, watch your weight. Quitting smoking can cause your wingloading to go up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kramer 0 #7 November 23, 2003 vonSanta- I have complete faith that you'll be able to quit. I heard a rumor that people who try to quit smoking, but then start smoking again are too weak of a person to jump out of plane. You're not too weak to jump out of a plane, are you? -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBester 0 #8 November 23, 2003 Hey Santa, I know what you're going through! I quit last sunday - that's 8 days without now. But don't forget: it can't get worse than it already is, right?! What is keeping me motivated is that I safe the money that I would have spent for cigarettes (sweet sweet cigarettes) and when I have enough I'll get a cool helmet or something else. I used to spend up to 100 Euros/month (!!) for cigarettes - so I should be able to afford a new bonehead by the end of january. One last word: You're a smoker. A smoker will probably stay a smoker for a long time, even if he thinks that he has managed to quit. Don't make the same mistake I made last time after a few weeks without smoking. "Man, it's just one little cigarette, I can handle it." Doesn't work like that. I believe in you!***mumble to myself: smokingisbadiwontsmokesmokingisbadiwontsmoke smokingisbadiwontsmokesmokingisbadiwontsmoke smokingisbadiwontsmokeiwantacigarettesmoking isbadiwontsmokesmokingisbadiwontsmokesmokingisbad iwontsmokesmokingisbadiwontsmokesmokingisbadiwontsmoke*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not even in question. The only question is how much do you want to quit. If you really want it, you CAN do it. There is no doubt. I smoked 2 - 3 pack of Marlboro reds a day from age 14 to age 36 and I decided that I had paid the idiot tax for long enough. I went cold turkey as you did. I've been smoke free for 3 years now and I've never been healthier of happier. If you are VERY committed, it wont be as hard as you think. You make it harder on yourself by thinking about how hard it is and dwelling on it. The only encouragement I can offer you is the simple fact that you can suceed if you want to. Dont let the tobacco bastards keep making a fool of you. The best helpful tip I can offer is stay away from alcohol for a few weeks. There is no luck, good or otherwise.
