    I lost my ecig which has so far kept me off cigarettes several days ago. I went and bought some patches and I haven't went back or even smoked part of a cigartette but I'm like..nervous or something and I keep wanting to bite my nails and shit and just now realized it's cuz I need to smoke something.

    I don't have any more weed. I don't wanna go back to cigarettes ever cuz I know they're unhealthy and expensive (I can still get cigarettes for $11.95 a pack ;))..yea they are that expensive in New York I believe they're actually supposed to be $15 minimum cuz that's what I read in the news a while back and that's what they will try and charge some places. They are this way for one to make money but also because they really do want people to quit. I know they actually want people to quit cuz they have these commercials that say #NYCQUITS or something at the bottom and they have a program to provide financial assistance to help people get the things they need to quit that can't afford it (as if cigarettes aren't more expensive than patches and shit).

    Anyways...don't wanna make this snit long but idk if i should rip in my apartment everything apart to look for that thing or if it's really gone cuz I lost it somewhere. I dropped it in water accidentally changing the water in my aquarium and it didn't work for awhile but it finally dried out completely and worked again now I lost it:/. I find stuff that I've lost all the time but it normally requires that something else go missing close to the same time lol :rolleyes:

    Crunch some carrots or pickles; or just go to bed and forget about it.

    don't feed the nicotine addiction if you want to get rid of it.

    cut a straw to cigarette length and pretend to smoke that.

    Shits crazy idk of the cigarette addiction will ever go away. I wish I could just quit nicotine all together...I mean...that shits not even getting you high why is it so addictive? I mean I've read about why but I don't get it. Also don't get why this is legal while stuff like marijuana isn't?

    only thing that comes to mind is that it's not actually how harmful/dangerous/unhealthy it is and that there actually a stigma attached to changing your consciousness. It's illegal to get high because it's wrong to feel different due to a chemical

    Finding something to do with your hands to replace the habit is really important. When I quit before I used an elastic. I would keep it on my wrist and when I really felt overwhelmed I would take it off and play with the elastic until that feeling went away.

    Hard to stop a habit but it can be done if you are determined to do it. :)

    Sex, sex and a whole lot more sex, if you are used to smoking after sex then jump her again, if she doesn't mind that is.
    I don't know if I smoke after sex because I never look, ahahahahahaha

    the first three days of quitting are hard as fuck, the rest of the week is tough but not as much, the week after that is still kinda tough, and then it gets way easier after that.

    If you make a really firm commitment to quitting, it can be done. If you don't have that, you'll probably relapse (yes, relapse) within the those 2 first weeks.

    I've heard that drinking plenty of water can help. Chewing gum might help. Staying away from any place where people are smoking definitely helps.

    The hands thing might help, maybe get some firm putty or a squeeze ball

    I knew this was going to happen. It's time for an intervention.

    Anybody got a battering ram and handcuffs?
