    Thumbs up Never give up

    Hey guys and gals, I know quitting' not easy but you can do it. I quit about a year and a half ago, and I'm glad I did. My wife kept nagging me that I smoke to much, not for my health, but they cost to much. I was smoking 2 packs a day of ultra light 100's. You can imagine what kind of money I was spending on a habit that did nothing for me, except make it difficult to breath. Any way, the driving force was fear of lounge cancer and the wife nagging me about smoking too much. She would keep saying that I needed to cut back 'cause it cost so much. So I got really tired of listening to it and decided that if I couldn't smoke when I wanted to then I'd just fricking quit. I told my wife to buy me just 1 carton this time just in case, 'cause you know how you panic when you run out. I started by smoking just a few puffs at a time the first day, and managed to get by with only 3 cigarets. The second day I noticed that when I would take a puff I would get light headed. I managed to make 1 cigaret last all day by telling myself that I just smoked one, and by having 3/4 pack in my pocket there was really no anxiety( or, should I say fear of not having one if I need it). That was my last day of smoking, I figured if I could cut back to one a day I had it made. I kept that pack of cigarets in my pocket for about a week as a comfort zone you might say, and finally left them at home never to be seen again. I guess what it all boils down to is who's stronger? you or cigarets? And by the way, Double mint chewing gum helps a lot. Now for the good news, when you figure how much you saved on cigarets you can now buy a new bowling ball every 3 months. Trust me, I know it's not easy but hang in there, you can do it.
    Good luck and good bowling

    I quit smoking about 3 years ago. I will tell you, it will not get easier for a long time. I used the Nicorette patches to help at the start, and they worked amazingly well. The only problem is, you will still think about smoking during and after the patches. I thought about smoking every day for the first year and a half. The second year was only about once a week, and now after just over 3 years, it is practically completely gone. These thoughts won't be to smoke, but thinking of smoking that you used to do, how it felt to smoke, times you smoked. The big problem is that the human mind assosciates every sense (seeing,hearing,smelling, touching, and tasting) with every memory. This makes it so you will assosciate good times you had in your life that you smoked during with the smell of smoke. I felt like I was giving up part of my personality when I quit smoking, because I had done it for so long. Trust me, it was the hardest thing I ever did, but I don't regret quitting in the slightest. I do regret the 18 pounds I put on while quitting though. I ate 5 meals a day for 5 weeks after quitting. RIDICULOUS!

    Hahahah, it's not going well for me. I made it about a month before I got stressed out and caved. But I'm making plans to go back to college this summer to earn my CNA....so my new goal is to quit before school so I don't have to deal with cravings once I'm working.

    Hey guys, hang in there and give it another try. You know that show of Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, well I think they should make a show called are stronger than a cigarette. And like Daniel said it's one of the hardest things you will ever do, but you will be well respected for it. I know for me I was worried about not having one if I needed one, so I carried an open pack for a while until I was sure I was done with them, that kept the panic attacks at bay. Two things you gotta do to quit are, really want to, and believe in yourself. There's no shame in trying and failing, and I for applaud you for doing as well as you did, just keep trying and you'll make it. And I'm sure you know people like I do that won't even try 'cause they're afraid they can't do it. Makes a lot of sense now doesn't it? Keep trying guys, you can do it, I got faith in you.

    I am a hopeless nicotine addict! Like an idiot I started when I was 34 years old (long painful story...) anyway tried to quit for 8 years with no success, gum, zyban, mints, you name it. I got so ticked at myself this past January when I broke yet another new year's resolution to quit. I decided to try electronic cigarettes.

    They don't burn tobacco so there is no smell. They turn a solution of water nicotine and flavor into a vapor that looks and feels like smoke when you inhale it. The things have been a god-send for me because I haven't touched a cigarette since starting them. Maybe the best part about starting them in the NY winter is that I can use them indoors - no leaving the alley! A few other people leagues have tried them and most have been really happy with them... they are initially a little different than cigarettes and take some getting used to but once you do, real cigs taste like S**t and I personally can't smoke one.

    I got mine here and it is the only one I have tried, but there are others out there too. Might be worth looking into... smoking has been banned inside here in NY for a long time now and people freak out when they see me "smoking" inside the alley!!

    I Quit after inhailing for 23 years about 15 years ago.
    My main reason for quiting was the colorfull stuff I was coffing up.
    The weezzing and the bits of time that controlled my life where secondary.
    Then I got my wife to quit some months after by saying "no smoking in the house"
    And that for the kids sake aswell...
    Clean and fat I am, my wife is still skinny thank goodness.......
