That one day I can wake up and NOT pick up a cigarette...

I'm a cold turkey.

Gobble.
Gobble.

I've decided that, once and for all I'm gonna do this "quitting smoking" thing.

Today is Day One.

If anyone else here has done this recently, or in the past, and has any helpful hints for me PLEASE SHARE!!!



What made me decide to do it? TO better my health? TO freshen my breath?

No.
My seven year old asked me Friday when I was going to quit...and I told her I would quit beginning today...and I can't lie to her so I'm doing it.

*clapclapclap*

You can do it!

I did it once cold turkey, for 4 years.

It took you 4 years to quit???

I did it 6 years ago mate...and if I can do it you can too...only advice I can give ya...tell the Missus/girlfriend...that every time ya feel like a smoke she has to have sex with ya...helped me give up and damn I got a lotta good loven at the same time

I used the CQ patch. Will be 5 years tobacco free in June.

My advice, every time a craving comes up remember what your daughter asked.
I quit for mine as well. (I had been trying to quit for years, just never had the motivation like doing it for the kids)

also I chew sugarless gum when ever I crave something to do.

good luck Steveo. If you need support, I'm there for ya

I chewed gum and had a few jack daniels in the evenings.
Tapered off the jack daniels gradually over the course of the week.

Can I do Tequila instead of Jack Daniels?



Been up for almost 2 hours now...without lighting up...

power of will is stronger with support! with you all the way!

The most important part of quitting is wanting to quit.
Seems like most people go through the motions of quitting to please someone else.

When the smell of someone elses cigarette genuinely offends you.
When the first two or three drags make you feel so sick that you wretch and strange phlegm comes from your eyes, nose, and ears. When you have smelled your last foul smelling cigarette.


Thats when you are ready to quit and it is easy.


I've quit twice. I honestly don't know what possessed me to pick up a cigarette and start again. I think the people I was running with were bad influences.

Well, I've been tossing the idea around...and wanted to quit for about 2 months now...just never got the notion to actually do it.

damn it steve, now you made me fell guilty.... and like a smoke

but seriously, I will need to be joining you soon, for the sake of the children.

While we are at it, lets nuke the tabacco businesses.... and inhale that sweet sweet nicotine goodness

I'm not helping am I.... didn't think so

sorry, i'll go now

janetdog said it right...every addiction should be quit for urself, the kids "fafctor" must be a plus, a support ..;i quit another addictions, its the same thing ( i kept, for now, that stupid cigarette though)...go Pharao go!

Marco Must DIE Now.


C'mon...Join the FUN!!!

yeah everyone, come on, locate Marco and kill him, it'll be a hoot..... wait a sec
