Jeremiah, congrats on your 74 days -- that is quite the accomplishment for someone on his zillionth quit, lol. Sounds like those patches are working well for you. I would put one on and then smoke with it on. Can you believe it? Eventually, I just stopped using them. Oh well, sounds like we are well on our way now anyways.

You take care Jeremiah :) Hope you are enjoying your Thursday. Denise

Well, this is about my zillionth time quitting but I have got to do it.

I just smoked my last cig and now it is time for the cold cruel turkey. Last quit I tried the patches but they didn't work too good.

This is going to be really really rough going...but, here goes nothing.

Hopefully this group will help me to keep my head on.

Have a good night all :) Denise

Hey Nikki!!! congrats on your decision to quit. I know exactly how you feel as I quit 3 years ago. I found cold turkey is the only way to go. you may not be aware but if you don't put nicotine in your body (don't smoke, chew, use patches) for 72 hours you will be nicotine free and no longer physically addicted. Good luck, check out my blog for some more advice http://nosmokingtoday.blogspot.com/

[quitsmoking] How do you quit smoking

2012-03-10T16:58:00.001-08:00

Hi All

It's been 14 years since i started smoking and everyday since then i have been promiosing myself that i am going to give it up because the truth of the matter is it blimin well stinks and it makes you look 35 even if your 25 the fact remains when you smoke you look rubbish.

3 years ago i was fortunate enough to meet my bith mum who was a wonderful women , we would smile , cry , dance , be silly and i loved her just like any sone should , then in 2009 she arrived back in the uk after 28 years to come and live here, I can't tell you how sad i was when i lost her 5 month after she arrived , i lost that beautiful Mom to Cancer which was caused by cigarettes , I have to tell you if you have just suffered a death of someone close , don't even try to give up because your body won't let you under any circumstances

Im just being truthful.

Leave it a while and when the dust has settled , give it a go , i have tried everything , even patches and gave up for nearly a year but always had that craving , even though losing my mum to cancer was the driver to my actions , so i started up again because i was not on my guard and then my wife told me to do something.

GIVE IT ANOTHER GO , so i typed into yahoo "HOW DO you GIVE UP SMOKING and boom there it was howdoyougiveupsmoking.com

so i clicked on http://www.howdoyouquitesmoking.com and was very suprised i had't come accrosds this site bfore , they gave me a really good ebook just for subscribing , couple of days later i subscribed and that was 6 moths ago , i know it's not been very long but i'm really feeling the benefits and just know that my mum will be so proud of me

so stop umming and RRRR-ING give them a try , 60day guarentee go to

http://www.howdoyouquitsmoking.com

Thanks

Mark

TY, it feels great, though I have to admit it was a long yellow brick road
getting here----lol! But I have seen many just stop smoking overnight, so
I know it's doable. I guess everyone has to quit in "their own way and
their own time". I wish you the most successful journey in tossing out
those nasty cigarettes and discovering the freedom and strength that goes
with rejecting smoking!

I've finally been completely quit for a bit more than 2 weeks, no fake
cigs, no NRTs, just a little hard candy now and then. The best part of my
quit is the freedom I have to do or be anywhere without bothering about a
cigarette. And when I have a craving, I'm free to enjoy that too, after
all it only lasts a minute or less (I take deep breathes at those times).
Keep trying with your quit because it's worth the freedom!

Re: [quitsmoking] hope i will quit tomorrow

2012-03-09T18:52:00.001-08:00

Yea, I know how you feel! I'm just going to keep trying until I get this. I felt so good before my lapse. Being a non-smoker is such a beautiful feeling. I remember feeling so calm and focused and confident and free!
I'm at the end of day 5. This is the longest I've made it since I threw away my 6 weeks. I've been a binge smoker for the past few weeks, quitting for 2 or 3 days, smoking a few cigarettes, throwing the pack away, doing it again and again. Its a great way to keep yourself hooked, smoke every few days, crazy, right!
So I'm hoping that this is it. I'm feeling ok right now, and I'm enjoying being smoke free!

OMIGOD! If I could make it 6 days I know that I could quit! It's just the
first 3 days that are really tough. I just have to quit making excuses and
allowing myself to be weak. I've got to quit and really need to put myself to
the task of getting it done. I know that I can do it but I just keep making
lame excuses then beating myself up for picking up just one more, just one more,
just one more... the whole time I know that it only takes one cigarette to fall
right back into that failure mode. It's like going back to dating the same girl
I was in love with and she broke my heart. I keep thinking I can win just like
gambling... I know the casino is always going to win as long as I fall weak
enough to play their games and they've got all the odds in their favor. There
is absolutely no way to win except not to keep playing.

Good luck - you can do this! I'm on day 1 too (again) and I'm determined to make
it this time. I had 6 weeks before my slip and I felt so great then. I know I
can get back to that place.

I'm starting today too! Taking a 'leap' for my health!! My last cig was at 10:00
last night, so my oxygen and carbon monoxide levels are back to normal in my
blood. By 10:00 tonight, my heart attack risk is decreased. I am a nurse so this
is what motivates me! I am 28 and have been a slave for 10 years! No more
starting today. Good luck fellow warriors.

Hi,

Am I allowed to belong to the group while I try the cut down process?

I would like to get used to a group, and keep my mind focused before I quit for real...which I hope will be in a months time.

I have started with using NRT aids like the spray and hope to get the inhalator next week when I have a one to one with someone from a chemist.

I am alternating as I try to cut down on the actual smoking. It seems to be working so far, although I find the spray burns the back of my mouth and sense that this could be harmful. The last three days with the spray, I have managed to average 10 roll ups. Yesterday was 7.

I tried quitting before and after 2 months went nuts.
Since then, though I have cut down my smoking by half, and smoke less tobacco in my roll ups.

I hope to quit for real in about a month or so.

Tim

[quitsmoking] New to group

2012-03-09T04:14:00.001-08:00

Hi,

Am I allowed to belong to the group while I try the cut down process?

I would like to get used to a group, and keep my mind focused before I quit for real...which I hope will be in a months time.

I have started with using NRT aids like the spray and hope to get the inhalator next week when I have a one to one with someone from a chemist.

I am alternating as I try to cut down on the actual smoking. It seems to be working so far, although I find the spray burns the back of my mouth and sense that this could be harmful. The last three days with the spray, I have managed to average 10 roll ups. Yesterday was 7.

I tried quitting before and after 2 months went nuts.
Since then, though I have cut down my smoking by half, and smoke less tobacco in my roll ups.

I hope to quit for real in about a month or so.

Tim

[quitsmoking] Re: I've GOT TO QUIT!

2012-03-06T20:29:00.001-08:00

I find your note most interesting.

I'm wondering if you're smoking more out of a habit rather than a craving for the nicotine? Is there a particular thing that you do when you smoke, maybe something like driving, or while at the computer or?

In my case it was 90% when driving I smoked to break the bordom <sp> of driving.

Thanks for the moral support. Last weekend I had absolutely no problem not
smoking for a full two days. I live far out in the boonies. It is 7.3 miles to
the nearest place to spend money. As I knew that I would do, when I went up the
road just as soon as I got to the convenience store I bought a pack of
cigarettes. I'm still hitting about 15 a day. At the moment I simply do not
have the will to quit. Somehow I really need to convince myself to quit. I
think that I've had some bad experiences trying to quit in the past and part of
my problem is fear. I don't want to endure the stress and discomfort of
quitting. I'm a pretty good guy but I don't do stress well at all. When I'm
working I have to think and concentrate and that is just hard to do if I'm
anxious to have a smoke. I've got to concentrate on not smoking and find some
way to make it more comfortable and rewarding.

Unfortunately, there really no magic bullets for quitting cigarettes. The
patch, the gum, the lozenges, chantix, wellbutrin are all just means to an end.
They help some but the only thing that really works is stopping and never
turning back. Make yourself a list of why you want to stop. Then make one of
what you get out of smoking. I can guarantee that everything that you get out
of smoking- you can get the same things by means other than cigarettes.
If it helps you to relax- try deep breathing. If it helps you concentrate- take
a break- walk around- do anything but smoke. Remember that a craving lasts but
a few minutes- whether you smoke or not. Drink lots of cold water. One of my
mentors swore by red licorice to make her quit easier.
If I can quit- anyone can. I smoked Camel non-filters for almost 30 years. I
tried to quit at least a half-dozen times. I tried wellbutrin, the patch the
gum- but what finally worked was picking a date to stop and sticking to it.
You can do it! It is not easy- it will probably be the most difficult thing you
have ever done- but it can be done. The support of fellow quitters helps. It
helped me a lot to come here to this board and post and get feedback. We're all
here for you. Good luck.
Sincerely,
Dave

a heart attack. I just turned 60. When I was 40 years old I lied and got a
$100,000 life insurance policy as a non smoker. Now I just dropped that policy
to take out one that has a premium that does not increase in price every year.
It costs more now but in a few years the premiums for the other would be the
same and continue to increase every year. This policy does not require me to
take a physical so it is a little higher than one in which I would be required
to take a physical. Thing is... I need to quit for so many other reasons than a
life insurance policy. Some how I've got to muster the will to overcome the
desire. Some how I've got to force myself mentally to be stronger than the urge
to pick up a smoke. I feel totally defeated every time I pick up a cigarette.
As I sit here writing this I've already smoked two cigarettes. I'm in the
process of compiling all of my last year's receipts so that I can file income
taxes and
know that it's going to take me a week to get all that done and I'll be sitting
at my computer the whole time. It's going to be the perfect place and
conditions to constantly feel the urge to smoke. I've quit for 2 or 3 days
before but when I get out on a job I can not think straight until I smoke. The
dependency is what really gets to me. I don't even worry about the health
effects because I hate the dependency so much. I hate drugs but this addiction
makes me easily understand drug addicts. If anything is even close to the
addiction of cigarettes then I can understand why people have an extreme problem
ridding themselves of drug dependency. As far as I'm concerned there should be
government sponsored programs for smokers just like for drug addicts for those
people who do want to quit rather than just taxing the hell out of something we
honestly can not throw down and walk away from. The cigarettes are killing us
and the taxes are
destroying our financial ability to support ourselves and our families. Where
do we go from here?

Re: [quitsmoking] hope i will quit tomorrow

2012-03-03T20:53:00.001-08:00

OMIGOD! If I could make it 6 days I know that I could quit! It's just the
first 3 days that are really tough. I just have to quit making excuses and
allowing myself to be weak. I've got to quit and really need to put myself to
the task of getting it done. I know that I can do it but I just keep making
lame excuses then beating myself up for picking up just one more, just one more,
just one more... the whole time I know that it only takes one cigarette to fall
right back into that failure mode. It's like going back to dating the same girl
I was in love with and she broke my heart. I keep thinking I can win just like
gambling... I know the casino is always going to win as long as I fall weak
enough to play their games and they've got all the odds in their favor. There
is absolutely no way to win except not to keep playing.

I'm starting today too! Taking a 'leap' for my health!! My last cig was at 10:00
last night, so my oxygen and carbon monoxide levels are back to normal in my
blood. By 10:00 tonight, my heart attack risk is decreased. I am a nurse so this
is what motivates me! I am 28 and have been a slave for 10 years! No more
starting today. Good luck fellow warriors.

Day 1 today.
Same thing round here. Only two quits were partial success for me / once for almost five and once for a year. I have tried many times in last few months, and it was 2 weeks max...I am trying it now, again, yet I am so god damn afraid I will fail again because than it might mean it will get even more and more difficult, and that I am stuck in this stinky killing habit forever...
But we have no choice left, right? Got to keep on moving forward, day by day...

Hey rieckhoffcindy :)) so in few days we will be celebrating a year off cigarettes?!? Could you ever imagined it?
I smoked my last one today, around 11 am, some 12 hours ago :)) No probs since, nicottine gum is going its job just fine by now...
But just wait untill I get out for a walk tomorrow, I guess every shop will be temptation of its own...
The work will be hard too...It makes me so god damn nervous I just chain smoke there all the time...
But, the journey has began! And I am kind of proud for trying :)

Keep strong.

Nice words there Dave. And you are only a few months away from 10 years without a single cigarette! Great job there!

I myself have almost 2 complete months in. In fact, if it were not a leap year, it would be 2 full months.

Either way, I am just taking it one day at a time.

Nice words there Dave. And you are only a few months away from 10 years without a single cigarette! Great job there!

I myself have almost 2 complete months in. In fact, if it were not a leap year, it would be 2 full months.

Either way, I am just taking it one day at a time.

Unfortunately, there really no magic bullets for quitting cigarettes. The patch, the gum, the lozenges, chantix, wellbutrin are all just means to an end. They help some but the only thing that really works is stopping and never turning back. Make yourself a list of why you want to stop. Then make one of what you get out of smoking. I can guarantee that everything that you get out of smoking- you can get the same things by means other than cigarettes.
If it helps you to relax- try deep breathing. If it helps you concentrate- take a break- walk around- do anything but smoke. Remember that a craving lasts but a few minutes- whether you smoke or not. Drink lots of cold water. One of my mentors swore by red licorice to make her quit easier.
If I can quit- anyone can. I smoked Camel non-filters for almost 30 years. I tried to quit at least a half-dozen times. I tried wellbutrin, the patch the gum- but what finally worked was picking a date to stop and sticking to it.
You can do it! It is not easy- it will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever done- but it can be done. The support of fellow quitters helps. It helped me a lot to come here to this board and post and get feedback. We're all here for you. Good luck.
Sincerely,
Dave

> It doesn't seem like so long ago but it was in 1998 that I really tried to quit. I had my doctor to prescribe wellbutrin for me to help me quit. At the same time I got what I think was Zyban or some kind of patch. I damn near killed myself doing all that and still picking up smokes. I hardly even cut down. Finally, after the stress of it all I threw it all down and caved in again. Last year I finally got serious one more time. I have a doctor friend who called in a prescription for Chantix. I paid full price out of my pocket. God knows I can not afford that crap! I didn't feel that it affected me like I know it has affected others but I really felt like crap all the time and stressed. The one thing it did do was cause me to have some kind of weird and really painful phantom like pains in my left leg and some really serious chest pains. I could hardly breathe much less take a deep breath without my chest feeling like I was having
a heart attack. I just turned 60. When I was 40 years old I lied and got a $100,000 life insurance policy as a non smoker. Now I just dropped that policy to take out one that has a premium that does not increase in price every year. It costs more now but in a few years the premiums for the other would be the same and continue to increase every year. This policy does not require me to take a physical so it is a little higher than one in which I would be required to take a physical. Thing is... I need to quit for so many other reasons than a life insurance policy. Some how I've got to muster the will to overcome the desire. Some how I've got to force myself mentally to be stronger than the urge to pick up a smoke. I feel totally defeated every time I pick up a cigarette. As I sit here writing this I've already smoked two cigarettes. I'm in the process of compiling all of my last year's receipts so that I can file income taxes and
know that it's going to take me a week to get all that done and I'll be sitting at my computer the whole time. It's going to be the perfect place and conditions to constantly feel the urge to smoke. I've quit for 2 or 3 days before but when I get out on a job I can not think straight until I smoke. The dependency is what really gets to me. I don't even worry about the health effects because I hate the dependency so much. I hate drugs but this addiction makes me easily understand drug addicts. If anything is even close to the addiction of cigarettes then I can understand why people have an extreme problem ridding themselves of drug dependency. As far as I'm concerned there should be government sponsored programs for smokers just like for drug addicts for those people who do want to quit rather than just taxing the hell out of something we honestly can not throw down and walk away from. The cigarettes are killing us and the taxes are
destroying our financial ability to support ourselves and our families. Where do we go from here?

This is my second time down here...first was some...i guess 7 years ago, or even more. First time was successful, thanks to Nicorretes, they worked for me. I had been quit for almost 5 years, than started smoking again. So I am on and off smoking since than...and I am getting really sick of it because I am back to 30 cigarettes a day, and it is really not what I want for me.
I am planning on buying Nicorettes tomorrow, if I get the sallary...it is the only condition :)
so, I am going to need a lot of help and support and since I remember this forum as a helpful place, decided to try to spend some time on it.
So the decision is made, and hopefully tomorrow I will make the first step.

This sounds like me about 10 years ago. I quit for a couple months, thought I had it made. Then something stressful would happen- I'd bum a cigarette from someone and the next thing I knew I would be buying a pack. Don't beat yourself up too much. I think that most people who have long term quits go through a few tries before they get it right. Never quit quitting! You will stop for good if you keep trying. I always have to keep in mind that I am a puff away from a pack a day- even after nine years. The next time you've got about three days under your belt- think about how great you felt at six weeks. Don't you want to feel that way for the rest of your life? Only one way to do it- never smoke another cigarette- no matter what. In three days the nicotine is totally out of your system and it is only a psychological craving after that. Reward yourself with each milestone- you deserve it. Celebrate your first three days by treating yourself to a good dinner or a movie instead of a pack of cigarettes. Celebrate a month with some champaigne. I still go out and celebrate with an over the top dinner each year that I remain smoke free. Keep posting and keep trying. You CAN DO IT!
Sincerely,
Dave

Then something happened and I automatically reached for a cigarette and got hooked again right away. Since then I can't seem to make it more than 3 days or so. I lose my motivation and talk myself into buying a pack, smoke a few and then throw them out and quit for a few days and so on. I'm having a hard time getting my confidence back. I am very upset that I failed and I want to understand it so I can prevent it from happening again.

I've been around this board for a long time. It used to be much more active and some people who were struggling with their quits would post several times a day and get the support they needed. We have quite a few experts at quitting here on this board- we know how hard it is and we've all developed strategies for keeping our quits. We are all here for you- but if you need support- get on this board and ask for it. It will be there! Take care and keep that beautiful quit.

[quitsmoking] Re: hope i will quit tomorrow

2012-02-28T15:20:00.001-08:00

Congratulations on your decision to quit. I know it's hard. I have been smoke free for nearly a year now (March 5) That is the longest I have ever gone without smoking in 40 years. Good luck to you and just think of yourself as a drug addict (we ARE), and you can never, ever smoke another cigarette again. It's like a former heroin addict thinking that just one "hit" won't hurt. Keep strong.

[quitsmoking] Re: Into the 3rd week of kicking old Nic

2012-02-28T07:03:00.001-08:00

This sounds like me about 10 years ago. I quit for a couple months, thought I had it made. Then something stressful would happen- I'd bum a cigarette from someone and the next thing I knew I would be buying a pack. Don't beat yourself up too much. I think that most people who have long term quits go through a few tries before they get it right. Never quit quitting! You will stop for good if you keep trying. I always have to keep in mind that I am a puff away from a pack a day- even after nine years. The next time you've got about three days under your belt- think about how great you felt at six weeks. Don't you want to feel that way for the rest of your life? Only one way to do it- never smoke another cigarette- no matter what. In three days the nicotine is totally out of your system and it is only a psychological craving after that. Reward yourself with each milestone- you deserve it. Celebrate your first three days by treating yourself to a good dinner or a movie instead of a pack of cigarettes. Celebrate a month with some champaigne. I still go out and celebrate with an over the top dinner each year that I remain smoke free. Keep posting and keep trying. You CAN DO IT!
Sincerely,
Dave

I've been around this board for a long time. It used to be much more active and some people who were struggling with their quits would post several times a day and get the support they needed. We have quite a few experts at quitting here on this board- we know how hard it is and we've all developed strategies for keeping our quits. We are all here for you- but if you need support- get on this board and ask for it. It will be there! Take care and keep that beautiful quit.

[quitsmoking] Re: Now more than a day

2012-02-28T02:33:00.001-08:00

Hey - good for you! You're a non-smoker!

It's funny - you say that you just toyed with the idea of quitting, but it sounds like you've been thinking about it for a long time now. Maybe your health was just the tipping point you needed to go ahead and do it.

You also mentioned that you've recovered from depression - so you know a lot about changing the way that you think and feel. That's really key to being successful as a non-smoker - because when you smoke it makes your emotions less strong. That makes sense when you're dealing with anger or sadness, but smoking also weakens happiness, joy, love and peace.

I know that when I quit, more than ten years ago, I went through a lot of emotional ups and downs as I re-learned how to deal with the day-to-day feelings.

I can also tell you that I wouldn't go back for anything - life is so much richer and more interesting now that I'm not stuffing down my emotions all the time!'

Hang in there - you're doing this for yourself, and you're worth it.

Kind regards,
Jennifer Clare

Hell, I was ready to quit all over just so I could start getting that rush again. Just the stupid stuff our mind puts us through. Now I, if I am going to quit I need to figure out a way to simply "don't do it". That's the only answer I know.. just don't do it.

Re: [quitsmoking] Now more than a day

2012-02-27T09:05:00.000-08:00

Well Randy,

Ive tried quitting several times and my most successful and longest quits personally have been because of the patch. I quit for a year in 2004-2005 and 4 months last year. Bad decisions on my part were what led me back.

This time, im 57 days into it and on my next to last patch. However you deal with it, I wish you the best of luck. I know on quitnet.com there are chat support people who can help and forums that helped me at one time or another. Sheer determination was my main motivator this time.

Plus I have now ran and walked over 200 miles this year and I have not had any alcohol this year.

Good things come to those who really want to change bad enough to just make it happen and you have to believe enough that in a couple years it will pay off.

Jer

Thank you, Jennifer. I'm going to keep trying until I get this. I agree with you, it makes more sense to focus on the time I succeeded and believe I will get back there.

ANY progress you make towards being a non-smoker is worthwhile, so don't beat yourself up! You did amazingly well for six weeks and you know you felt great - so do everything you can to remind yourself of those experiences. What did it feel like to be able to breathe? How did your confidence improve? What did your body feel like?

You unconscious mind latches on to whatever you're thinking - so concentrate on those thoughts that move you towards being able to permanently join the ranks of non-smokers.

(And you can give yourself a pat on the back and remind yourself that statistically it takes smokers four tries before they're successful.)

You said that you wanted to understand why you went back to it - it all comes back to your mind once again. Smoking became comfortable to you, even though you didn't want to do it. So when you reached for that cigarette after six weeks, even though you didn't want to do it, it felt comfortable.

The skill lies in being able to acknowledge the feeling or craving and to do something else instead. Not just to deny the sensation - but to brush it aside. My clients use phrases like "There's a sensation of craving for a cigarette. How interesting! Because I'm a non-smoker now, I prefer to have a glass of water and wait for a more interesting thought to pop up in my head."

Works a treat.

You said that you wanted to understand why you went back to it - it all comes back to your mind once again. Smoking became comfortable to you, even though you didn't want to do it. So when you reached for that cigarette after six weeks, even though you didn't want to do it, it felt comfortable.

The skill lies in being able to acknowledge the feeling or craving and to do something else instead. Not just to deny the sensation - but to brush it aside. My clients use phrases like "There's a sensation of craving for a cigarette. How interesting! Because I'm a non-smoker now, I prefer to have a glass of water and wait for a more interesting thought to pop up in my head."

Works a treat.

I need to reach that 3rd month to drag a lot others kicking and screaming down this road, if you have read my earlier rants.

Four weeks, two days, 14 hours, 2 minutes and 34 seconds. 1590 cigarettes not smoked, saving $755.44. Life saved: 5 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes.

My sympathies.

Now I understand you better I will not make rude remarks on you anymore in my thread.

I guess that self appointed spam hunter tried to bum a ciggie from you being the low life that he/she is.

Tough times required tough going for guys like you just to get the family to survive.

Best of luck to you and may the future be better.

That is why I said before that I tolerate spammers better than self appointed spam hunters with no other life.

I have done what you suggested below but it didn't do the trick.

I am just out of work and need money. I will eat horse dung to make a living for my family.

There is a spamhunter with no life and need you to complete his life with. Bum a ciggie from him and drag in deep and hard.

Or stick your head down your toilet bowl and flush.

Either way , or both , will be good for you.

Hi Randy,

I was 2 and half pack a day, for over 40 years.

You need not imagine how cold turkey was like for me. I wrote all that down in graphic details for my friends in the bird and parrot world and forums.

Many of them had wanted to quit and thanked me profusely for the details that I wrote, as a road map of my agony and how I fought on.
They felt what I wrote will be a great help to them when they quit.

Sadly, many of them said when I pass my 3rd month, they will use that date to stop.

I have yet to find if I can reach 3rd month.

But as of now, I am

Four weeks, two days, 11 hours, 1 minute and 58 seconds.
1583 cigarettes not smoked, saving $752.34. Life saved:
5 days, 11 hours, 55 minutes.

GASP!

Your just kidding joke on me nearly caused a lighted ciggie to jump to my mouth!

Luckily I remembered the only mouth a lighted ciggie should jump to will be the mouth of those self righteous mealy mouth self appointed spam hunters without life.

[quitsmoking] Re: Into the 3rd week of kicking old Nic

2012-02-26T19:31:00.001-08:00

Hi Randy,

I was 2 and half pack a day, for over 40 years.

You need not imagine how cold turkey was like for me. I wrote all that down in graphic details for my friends in the bird and parrot world and forums.

Many of them had wanted to quit and thanked me profusely for the details that I wrote, as a road map of my agony and how I fought on.
They felt what I wrote will be a great help to them when they quit.

Sadly, many of them said when I pass my 3rd month, they will use that date to stop.

I have yet to find if I can reach 3rd month.

But as of now, I am

Four weeks, two days, 11 hours, 1 minute and 58 seconds.
1583 cigarettes not smoked, saving $752.34. Life saved:
5 days, 11 hours, 55 minutes.

[quitsmoking] Re: Into the 3rd week of kicking old Nicq

2012-02-26T18:46:00.001-08:00

Friends,

I am into the 4W 2D mark.

If you have read my detailed account in my lifejournal blog, and not threw that into the dustbin like a gungho self appointed righteous mealy mouth spam hunter, you would have seen the tough fights I have had with Old Nic.

In brief, I quit cold turkey.

And strapped down for the f**king fight of my life.

And by chance, the fight was during the Chinese New Year period when all shops were closed. And later when I wanted so much nicotine gum and patches, I could not get that as all shops were closed for CNY period.

Cold turkey became true cold turkey and I agonised and agonised.

That was merely physical.

Worse to come was the f**king mental games Old Nic came to play with me.

In week 2 and 3.

But why should I plagiarised what I wrote in my blog for here? If you felt enough my account of my fight can help you, go to my blog and read about it.

Unless you are a self styled and self appointed mealy mouth spam hunter with no life, you then should stick a lighted ciggie in your mouth and breath in deep and hard, and do not bother us here.

Four weeks, two days, 10 hours, 16 minutes and 20 seconds.
1582 cigarettes not smoked, saving $751.57.
Life saved: 5 days, 11 hours, 50 minutes.

I know how you feel. Some things that work for me when I'm feeling that way, are telling myself that I won't smoke for the rest of the day, and then doing the same thing the following day, doing deep breathing exercises and distracting myself.

Well I'm struggling too. At the moment my throat feels like I can hardly
swallow until I get a smoke. I've sipped on coffee and ate snacks and sunflower
kernels(seeds) and just sit here telling myself that it's good for me and that I
should look forward to these cravings and that these cravings are my "highs"
from quitting and that they're good things, good signs. Not sure if all that is
going to work because I turn right around and destroy it by telling myself it's
just another psycho game. I'm barely closing in on just 24 hours after toying
with the idea of quitting for the past few months and so far haven't made it
more than a few hours. I have gone several days with smoking only 1/2 pack but
even that was rarely more than one day. I know the cut down trick doesn't work
since as long as you smoke you smoke no matter how much it is.

Hi Dave,
Congratulations on 9 years! I'm wondering if you might be able to help me. I
quit for 6 weeks and I felt great, so calm and confident. Then something
happened and I automatically reached for a cigarette and got hooked again right
away. Since then I can't seem to make it more than 3 days or so. I lose my
motivation and talk myself into buying a pack, smoke a few and then throw them
out and quit for a few days and so on. I'm having a hard time getting my
confidence back. I am very upset that I failed and I want to understand it so I
can prevent it from happening again.
Do you have any suggestions? I've smoked just under 15 years and I've been
trying to quit for a few years but I only had success recently, Christmas was my
original quit date. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

your way to a smoke-free life. I've been around this board for a long time. It

Congratulations on 9 years! I'm wondering if you might be able to help me. I quit for 6 weeks and I felt great, so calm and confident. Then something happened and I automatically reached for a cigarette and got hooked again right away. Since then I can't seem to make it more than 3 days or so. I lose my motivation and talk myself into buying a pack, smoke a few and then throw them out and quit for a few days and so on. I'm having a hard time getting my confidence back. I am very upset that I failed and I want to understand it so I can prevent it from happening again.
Do you have any suggestions? I've smoked just under 15 years and I've been trying to quit for a few years but I only had success recently, Christmas was my original quit date. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I got through that 3rd week.

I never seemed to have support from here. That would have been nice to know
folks here care. Or maybe you all just do not care.

If so, so be it.

But I did get loads of support from my parrot groups. Many of them having
tried and failed and now cheering me on. In photos in the past, they almost
always see a fag in my hand or in my mouth.

And they see me still holding on.

Three weeks, five days, 18 hours, 56 minutes and 18 seconds.
1393 cigarettes not smoked, saving $661.69.
Life saved: 4 days, 20 hours, 5 minutes.

Go take a deep deep breath.

If that is not enough, go have a fag and draw in hard and deep.

Get lost from my thread.

I rather have spammers than spam hunters without any other kind of life.

[quitsmoking] Re: I've GOT TO QUIT!

2012-02-25T14:17:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, there really no magic bullets for quitting cigarettes. The patch, the gum, the lozenges, chantix, wellbutrin are all just means to an end. They help some but the only thing that really works is stopping and never turning back. Make yourself a list of why you want to stop. Then make one of what you get out of smoking. I can guarantee that everything that you get out of smoking- you can get the same things by means other than cigarettes.
If it helps you to relax- try deep breathing. If it helps you concentrate- take a break- walk around- do anything but smoke. Remember that a craving lasts but a few minutes- whether you smoke or not. Drink lots of cold water. One of my mentors swore by red licorice to make her quit easier.
If I can quit- anyone can. I smoked Camel non-filters for almost 30 years. I tried to quit at least a half-dozen times. I tried wellbutrin, the patch the gum- but what finally worked was picking a date to stop and sticking to it.
You can do it! It is not easy- it will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever done- but it can be done. The support of fellow quitters helps. It helped me a lot to come here to this board and post and get feedback. We're all here for you. Good luck.
Sincerely,
Dave

I feel what you are going through, and I wish I had a magical word to make it easier....it's difficult. here I am rejoicing that I was able to get a few more puffs off my e-cigarette. I guess just stick with it, since I ahve heard it said that the more times we try to quit, eventually we will succeed....does that make sense?

[quitsmoking] Re: I've GOT TO QUIT!

2012-02-25T13:02:00.001-08:00

Look, just quit cold turkey. I did it almost a year ago (March 5, 2011). I had a 40-year habit and averaged about a pack a day. It wasn't fun, but I did it, without the help of electronic cigarettes, pills, patches, hypnosis or whatever. Just DO IT. It's not pleasant, if that's what you're scared of. The first couple of weeks were pretty rough. But if I can do it, anyone can. Drink LOTS of water, go for a walk if you start feeling antsy. I know it's a powerful addiction, and I LOVED smoking. But I knew they were killing me, so I decided to give them up for Lent last year. Just DO IT. Don't be afraid. I would be more afraid of the Chantix and the other stuff. Cold turkey. DO IT.

But all of them are so happy for me and my fight with old Nic

We have quite a few experts at quitting here on this board- we know how hard it is and we've all developed strategies for keeping our quits.
