Quitting smoking...not as hard as i thought!

well, i had my last roll-up almost 10 days ago...and guess what..it feels great. I still have a bad cough cos according to this website, my lungs are getting rid of the tar and shit that accumulated there while i smoked. This is the second attempt to quit cigarretes and so far its going really well. I cant picture yself picking it up again, it feels really good to say "no thanks, i dont smoke" when someone offers me a cig...It feels somehow empowering

I got some nicotine gum to help me with cavings and so far they have worked. I only got one packet of 24 gums last week, and i only got one left now... i might go and get the 2mg ones as my cravings are almost non-existant now. Its weird, i thought itd be harder, i've been around smokers, in pubs, etc and i havent felt like i needed a cigarrete to enjoy myself...

i was wondering if any of you are going through a similar experience, or perhaps you're having a hard time dealing with the lack of nicotine in your system....it'd be cool to discuss our progress and help each other kick this horrible habit...

today is day #9 for me. I would prefer to peel the skin off of my own face than feel like this everyday. I am going to give it one more week.

Congratulations to you! You are VERY lucky!

 

hey, perhaps using nicotine replacement can help you. the gums are quite effective if you're on the right set of mind (thats is really wanting to give up for good!) 9 days is a great achievement, dont feel like you have to start smoking again to feel good...

it feels great to be able to enjoy food again, it tastes so much better!!! or wake up in the morning and your breath is clean and not that of a dog's¬!!

why do you have to depend on a little cancer stick to feel good? it's really silly isnt it? i always thought i'd smoke forever, but i want to feel healthy, i want my hands and teeth to be of their original colour, not yellow or brown... i want my hair to smell fresh and clean, i dont want to feel dizzy everytime i go up the stairs, i want to breath....run for my late bus and not feel out of breath...

i dont now how long you've been smoking, but sure it' hard to actually decide to quit.. but i'm telling you, its day 10 for me and i can feel the difference (i smoked since the age of 13, i'm almost 22)

try the gums, talk to someone about what you feel... its not as hard as it's expected to be if you really want out

 

I prefer to not dwell on it and make no celebration about quitting. I made many stupid decisions in my life. Taking up smoking was one of them. It is all behind me now. Look at my signiture.Hint, hint.

 

i quit on my first try for a year. then began smoking again a few months ago. but one pack now will last me a few days or more whereas before i was smoking a pack a day. i plan on quitting again next month as soon as i begin my BC pills....cant smoke and be on BC at the same time. plus i dont want to smoke...its fucking gross. i know ill be able to quit with ease though....the first time wasnt even that hard for me, i used the patch.

 

I drank heavily last night and slipped. I smoked two cigarettes. I thought for sure that I would be dying today. . . but surprisingly I feel fine.

 

right on babe :sunglasse
I quit smoking pot... it wasn't difficult.
I hope this week goes well for you, photogra1
