Done with Cigs

DO not tell yourself that you want a smoke , tell yourself that you are quitting and are sick of it and "hmmmmmm what can I do to keep my mind off of it?"

 

and never say "I can smoke just one and stop again" cause you will be down at the 7-11 buying a pack and then you will be back to where you were.

 

The withdraw symptoms are startin' today. Thankfully I had my last bowl to keep my mind off it for a few hours. I'm gonna make it I know it. Check out my journal for further updates.

I've never had a cigarette in my life, I'm pretty proud of that. Disgusting habit.

 

so, ya smoke one yet?

 

Nope. I'm fightin' the urge to like every second tho

 

just ask yourself... what does smoking really add to my life?
work out a lot, eat healthy, and think about how nasty your lungs feel with all that tar in them.

 

i quit about 18 months ago. it sucks. but everytime i felt like smoking "just one" i thought... goddamnit, then i'm gonna have to start counting again! you've got one day down, you're working on two... just keep it up!

i also made sure i didn't have any money laying around, no change, and had all my money tied up in other stuff like bills, so i couldn't buy any cigs. you're unemployed right now i think you said, so that should help!

it only takes about a week or so for the physical cravings to stop. psychologically, i'm not sure it'll ever stop. sometimes i want to smoke so bad, but then i remember just how bad i feel when i'm smoking. i feel so much better now.

and now i'm living with a smoker, and it's hard, because psychologically i want to smoke, because for me it's a release, and enjoyment, and something really fun. but physically i know how bad it is for me, and the smoke now bothers me since i'm healthy. so i don't. i've had a couple, and they made me feel like shit. then i bought and smoked a whole pack. and i started to get hooked again, so i just decided no more. ever. it's just not worth it. don't wanna have to quit again. don't start again, just so you don't have to quit again. it seems so dumb, but it's one of the things that really helped me quit.

 

I'm tempted to start chewin' again like I did the last time I quit. But i know that'll just keep the addiction not help me get rid of it

 

"chew" some gum everytime you want a cig...it helped me

Wishing you all the strength!

I went through withdrawal yesterday night.

Lots of nightmares, sweating, and jumping up at night. I just had my coffee now and no cigs.

Good luck.

 

uggh
my prayers are with ya.

 

well this is the 3rd day an' countin'. Still doin' ok.

 

You already went through the worst.

I just had a mild panic attack. My hands are sweating continually.

I'm having fun.

But the most important thing is not to smoke on that especially shitty day. Or series of days.

That's the most important thing.

 

Yeah. I want one so bad its not even funny lol. A few minutes ago I had to get my ass back inside cause I was already headin' to the nearest gas station.

 

you're doin great. maybe even i will get inspired

 

Son Of Peace.......... I'm done with cigs too! :cheers2:

the only down side is.. my stomach has been in knots for about three days now. It'll be worth it though

 

hey, yeah... im quitting too.. alcohol is my only poison left... lol.

 

5th day for me.

Horrendous cravings of the psychological sort yesterday.

I feel orphaned.

 

damn, all these hipforum-ers are quitting

this is pretty comforting I'm not gunna lie

:cheers2:
