OT: Quitting Smoking
OT: Quitting Smoking
Approaching day 6 of cold turkey-style smoking cessation.
Damn, it's proving to be a bit more challenging than I thought.
Good job I have a large supply of Steely Reslove
I also never thought I'd be puffing away on a child's bubble-blowing pipe with such fervent desire at this stage of my life.

Re: OT: Quitting Smoking
Keep going! The ONLY way to truly quit (FOR ME) was cold turkey. That patch shit is worse than CT any day. Nothing like a ride on the ol' nicotine roller coaster. The first two weeks is rough and somewhat physical. there are some REALLY great natural smoking detox products at the health food stores. Get something with Cayenne & Lobelia in it. You'll be hackin' up huge lung cookies in no time and feelin' like a million bucksevernaut wrote:Approaching day 6 of cold turkey-style smoking cessation.

a good food based vitamin B complex would be great for you as well.
above all, keep going.

just have yourself a cry & a wank anytime you feel like smoking.
You can quit anything this way. Even potatoe addiction.

This past January 5th was my 2 year point for not having a cig. I was a pack a day smoker that went cold turkey.
Every time I wanted a smoke I would say to my self, "It would feel great to have a cig but I just don't smoke anymore, oh well."
It's all about your mind set. Best of luck it really feels great once you know you quit.

Same amount of time, I found it really hard for about 3 days, then suck for about a year. Makes you realize how tied to emotions smoking is when EVERY time you argue, fuck, laugh, and have some major catastrophe happen you want a smoke. I forgot eating, waking up, taking a break at work etc.doc holiday wrote:9 1/2 years here
it only suck hard for about 3 months, then it sucks pretty bad for a year.
What helped me was realizing what a totally corrupt industry I was supporting by smoking. Everybody knows that smoking is addictive, and to think that some asshole is sitting there with waterfront property and a yacht from coming up with Joe Camel!

i thought of it as being ill. i just kept telling myself i'm supposed to feel like shit and there's nothing i can do about it.
i just accepted it felt like shit to withdrawal.
i took a seriously long time for me to get to the point where the thought of smoking was a turnoff. that took a good 6 years, but i'm there now and it is great
Five weeks only for me during I feel up and down! Tiring...
I miss it Especially when I listen to music.
The first week I made a track about it!
