I'm quitting.

smoking a cigarette normally gives me cold sweats and make me feel nauseaus (however it's fucking spelled) thus causing me to curl up in a fetal position on my bed and then passing out


this is why i don't smoke cigarettes

 

george - the reason i dont quit now is because im always around so many people that smoke [people at work mostly] so the temptation is ALWAYS around. so i kind of want to distance myself from that [ie, get a new job.. which might take a little while, cuz i need a car to do that really] and then i will have a better chance of actually sticking to it.

 

Because quitting is hard and it sucks. It's like writing off two weeks of your life to feeling miserable/antisocial/irritable.

 

Nicotine withdrawals are a given, though most people rarely say why they started in the first place.

 

...

First day...not too bad.
I think that's the key, to anything, not just quitting tobacco.
Just take it one day at a time.

I must say that coffee is in need of some Krystin.

 

oh naw
i just started smoking
but i'm not bringing anything incriminating back to school after x-mas break
so ya...no more ciggies unless i'm back at home

 

See...

That's the thing.

Who just decides to start?

I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend such atrocity...

 

I started because I liked the feel of a ciggy on a summer night in Texas when a heat storm was a-brewin'.

Of course it's atrocious. But, man, George, it's the same thing as asking you why you started smoking weed. I mean, who just decides to start smoking weed?

 

Yeah but weed won't kill ya unless maybe you fall asleep and drop a lit joint on the floor and it sets the house on fire and you die.

and that sort of thing.

It's the three-day hump Kryz. Yoo can doo iyt!11!!!!

 

Actually, I did decide.

I decided it'd be a more suitable alternative than being fed anti-depressants for the rest of my life for something I have no real control over. That and the plant (not just in smokable form) is amazing as a whole.. and hempseed is amazing stuff.

I mean, I really don't want to admit anymore than that, though, because it just gets too deep into places that I don't think I really want to tread around right now. Basically... uncontrallable tears and like. I either work my ass off in the Summer (generally for no real reason at all), write, and play music like a fiend to keep my own mind occupied. When I get in large groups of people, I completely lose it... so I generally lock myself in my room once I get home, and when I was driving, I often would just go to a park and hike all day if things got bad for me. It wasn't unusual for me to work a 12 hour shift and find me mowing lawns and mulching until dark, this Spring/Summer.

Basically, clinical/manic is a bitch... it even makes physical pain worse, and now I'm being told I have some nerve damage from the accident.

 

good luck!

 

Woodstock child (hasn't worked out so well so far).

 

Just say no. Pretend it's heroin and you just plain refuse to start. Quitting smoking cigs is the hardest thing that you will eer have to do. Thing is you don't HAVE to do it. Just don't start. No excuses. No occasions. No Cigs!

 

ahhhh i totally agree!! seriously what the hey

like ive lived with smokers my whole life and was a dumbass 12 year old who just started smoking for the hell of it. actually i started because i started smokin pot & someone told me that when you smoke a cigg after gettin high it intensifies your high. anyways i got myself addicted and havent been able to stop to this day. and ciggarettes disgust me.

 

for real quitting ciggarettes is fucken HARD. harder than quittin dope but then that shits different for everyone

 

quitting is one of the hardest things to do. its a struggle for everyone depends on their level of addiction. all people are different, but the best thing to do is get some candies to keep with you or something like that.. or it you know you might be sitting somewhere for a while, bring something like a journal and some suckers.. and playdoh can be great too.. i hope the best.

 

Haha...Playdo? That's cute. I might have to try that.

Thanks for all this nice happy support, ya'll.

 

howzit goin with the no smokin then, Kryz?

Are ya winnin?

 

No.

I went out to watch the Geminid meteor shower tonight, and it just seemed right.

What I don't understand is why I feel so ashamed of it...

 

i know how you feel.. just keep pulling yourself through! just remember that we are all here for you!!
