The 'quit smoking' thread

I keep stuffing up. Sunday i had a handful because i was at a party and i had a few drinks... and well thats the hardest part but i can't keep using that excuse because i have to deal with the fact that other people (especially when out) are going to smoke around me *sigh*

prior to that i had had two smokes in 8 days. I was doing so well :(

i still have over a months worth of this zyban. I've promised my son for years that i would quit. I just can't afford it and i'm sick of killing myself gradually.

Maybe i should write this down and look at them every time i want a smoke. Actually the quit book i got said to list all the reasons why you want to quit and all the things you look forward to as a non smoker and carry it around with you.

There really is so many.

back on the wagon i guess. I'm not quitting this quitting thing.

day one smoke free

I'll get there. I know i will because i'm confident i can.
 
What do people think about just having one occasionally, post - quitting?

I convinced myself into believing that it was healthy, nay empowering, to be able to have 1 (or 2:D ) every so often after i had quit but then found it to tempting.

Now that I am a regular smoker but am vaguely considering quitting(again), I think maybe it will be a matter of complete and utter abstinence. *shivers*

Just wondering if others who have regularly smoked are now able to have one every so often or if they just don't even go there??
 
^^^ nooooooooo thats what i've been doing and its giving me the shits and makes me feel weak!

maybe after i've been smoke free for at least a mth i might have one every now and then but while i'm still in the early stages (which tends to be alot lately... over and over) i really shouldn't smoke at all until its out of my system and i've vhanged my habits and what not..

Yeah I think this is the best way as well. So so hard just to have one, paricularly at that early stage where all you want is a freakin cigarette.

Suffice to say, quitting smoking sucks all round. :D :D :D

That is, until you realise you can walk up a flight of stairs without coughing up a lung.
 
Seven days cold turkey. Bought a record with the money I would have spent on tobacco. I definately spend more on music than I do on drugs, including alcohol and tobacco. Not sure about caffeine but that's another topic.

Anyway, what with the trains fucking everyone around and such, I felt the strongest cravings I've had all week. Just how long does the craving last? I've heard 30 seconds, I've heard 3 minutes, what is it?

edit: Oh and I've been having drug related dreams this week. I dreamt my mum caught me smoking pot. I even felt stoned in the dream, but I smoked some the night before. I also dreamt I was growing opium.
 
Nobody likes a quitter... So I guess nobody is going to like me anymore. Last night I went out for a smoke with scotch in hand and decided before I lit it that it was going to be my last one, my reasons for quitting are as follows...

Money - If I quit I'll save from $1000-$1500 a year, that's almost motivation enough.

Legislation - It's getting harder to smoke whenever I want and I'm sick of having to go outside for a cigarette.

Health - As I have no spleen I am prone to all kinds of infections and as such really really shouldn't smoke.
 
My girlfriend of recent has actually decided (of her own accord) to quit smoking so she doesn't turn me off, im a non-smoker, and never jumped on the fuckwit bandwagon when i was younger, due to always hating the smell and just everything about the filthy habit - good luck to all who quit
 
^^^Dude... seriously, smoking is a choice that you cannot hold against people. It's a dirty habit, but stop knocking the people that do it. Your girlfriend smoked so was she a fuckwit? And somehow I doubt it is of her own accord if you are as outspoken on the subject in RL as you are on here. Lay off, people can do what they want, it's their lives...

I'm not smoking another cigarette in my life. =D
 
This is painted on the back of buses in Norway.

"Klar For A Slutte?" means "Ready to quit?" in Norwegian.

Nothing like the image of somebody smoking bus exhaust fumes to turn you off smoking!
 
^That is so cool.

As for me, just over a month and still going strong!
Although it's getting hard now that exams are on. Just as well I have no money to spend on smokes because I've been buying lots of records.

Knowing me, I'll probably crack just after and smoke a pack over my birthday weekend (16's probably), then remember just why I quit in the first place. Or I'll just stick to cheap cigars.
 
I want to cry I want to cry I want to cry!!

And then maybe punch something.

I have 'quit' (hey, I use the word loosely) smoking before and I remember the first couple of days being the worst and now that I am in my first day of quitting again (permanently this time) I want to smash something:) :(

My head is all light heated, I am cranky, I am eating like I have lived for the past 10 years in Africa and all I want is a cigarette.

*punches wall*

Smoking sucks. Mantra mantra. Smoking Sucks.
 
^ chanting as we speak :)

good luck to all the recent quitters. i like gher's approach of rewarding yourself by buying a luxury item with the money you save on smoking....i'm sure cravings and withdrawals suck cock, but at least it's a positive to focus on??? :\
 
I never realised how intense it is for other people to quit. I get no withdrawal symptoms, I don't shiver, I don't get headaches, I don't really crave as such. I can go for a week without having a cigarette but then I'll walk past a milk bar or coles or something and 2minutes later find myself sparking up a cigarette, thinking 'FUCK! I did it again.' >:
 
I quit 9 months ago today, and I never got any cravings or agro or short tempered or anything, I just stopped buying them and that was it...
 
I was bed prone in hospital for a week so I couldn't smoke. When I came out, I didn't start back up.

I've had a drag on freinds ciggarettes just to remind myself how nasty they are and I nearly throw up. (thank god).

No Gary, no Gary.
Nooooooooooo GARY!
 
^^^^^^^ I loved this ad before I had actaully quit. I couldn't help but laugh every time it came on.

Now i just get jealous that i don't have my own cheer squad.;):D

Although come to think of it, if those fuckers followed me around each time i felt like a cigarette I would probably burn them with all my useless lighters.=D
