yes i finally decided last night that my time with cigarettes is over. i decided to post this thread to say it was my first sucessful day without one. I am stronger than the grasp they have on me and i am finished!
Good job! I think after the pack I have now I am going to quit, for a while at least. I can tell the effects its already had on my body over the last 8 months. It's going to be so hard though because its mainly a social thing for me, ive met a lot of new people on campus just smoking cigs
i know how you feel...i didnt start smoking untill i was 18, my freshman year of college. There was so many cool people that were smoking cigarettes. I started because i liked smoking them after i smoked bud, then i started liking the first cig of the day, and then i started liking them after i ate. Its just a horrible cycle. You want to smoke one after everything you do. BUT CIGARETTES ARENT COOL!
I quit smoking cigarettes a month ago after on again off again smoking over the years. I still smoke cigars which is really not a safe alternative as some people would think. The second hand smoke of a cigar is also far worse than cigarettes. I have to quit sometime soon. I'm planning on having kids soon so smoking is going to be a priority cut back vice. Don't smoke, it will kill you and wreck your health in so many ways. I regret starting, and I don't want to have people watch me smoke and then think it's all right.
so im moving on to day 3 with no cigs! i feel great actually. i think it is easier to get up in the morning.
alright 4th day update. Feeling good..getting high...loving life. I feel really happy and i have so much energy, i actually woke up early this morning because i wanted to!
it has successfully been 5 days....its been a lot easier than i thought, and i am even inspireing others to quit.
Congratulations buttrfly, I know how hard it can be to break the addiction. When I was in HS I started smoking cigs and soon my tobacco addiction became inextricably linked to my weed habit. I was smoking spliffs every day. Now I still haven't purged my stash of fine Virginia Shag, I love that smooth handrolled taste soooo much. When I first started trying to quit I picked up running. Morning exercise helps me curb habits for the rest of the day and it builds up a healthy appetite as a well as good sleeping schedule. bless
yeah i have been doing some yoga and brisk walking....i feel i can replace that habit with the smoking one.
mmmmmm, day 6 or day 7? i hope we haven't had a relapse. stay off them cigarettes, you're too pretty, go smoke some weed.
no i quit last monday...and i havent had one since. i have started smoking more weed, which is crazy because i was smoking a lot anyway hehe
Doing great! When I quit, walking, yoga, and meditation were really helpful. Drinking was not! Drinking was a big trigger for me to crave cigs. If you have any triggers-avoid them!
