Quitting Cigs.
 

With the birth of my third son looming (1/15 due date), I quit smoking the day before yesterday. Please send positive energy in my direction.

Remember that nothing is strong enough to control your life but YOU! Especially the chemical sticks!

Uhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Uhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....


Feel it?

If you get in a pickle and want a cigarette, tell yourself you can have one in 5 minutes. Look at the clock and then do something knowing you can have on in 5 minutes.......
Do it enough times and 5 minutes becomes an hour,an hour becomes an afternnon, and so on. :D
It's not easy but you CAN DO IT!!!

Took me many attempts to finally quit cigarettes.
Has been since 1988 now that I haven't had one.
I finally did via a pneumonia and after getting over it, I kept setting a 30 day goal, one month at a time.
I repeated to myself that if I made it to the one year mark, I would never look back. I haven't since.
Good luck.
Not easy to do.

I chewed the nicorette gum for years and never really quit cigs. Spent a ton of money on both.

Tried the patch and was done in a couple months. FWIW, I was smoking a pack a day and purchased the patch that said for 'pack a day smokers.' What a mistake tha was. It was like being in the 7th grade and smoking a Marlboro Red, I turned several shades of green, got the sweats and wished I had puked. I decided to give it another try and got the 1/2 pack a day kit and it worked just like it was supposed to. My cravings went way down and eventually I forgot I was a smoker.

I quit for three years, but started back up in late May or early June of this year. Don't know why, I just did. I decided to quit again this past Monday and I haven't looked back. I'll have gone a full week w/o smoking a cigarette at 7:30 this evening.


Sunflower seeds helped me quit the first time.
Nasal snuff has helped me quit this time.

Good luck, Mike.

Quitting cigs is easy!!

I've done it a bunch of times!!

Re: Quitting Cigs.
 

I quit smoking cigarettes two years, one month and 3 days ago. I quit cold turkey and there weren't any problems. Wanna know how? I hard a heart attack.

Yeah, not the best way to accomplish it. I am thinking your way is much better. You CAN do this. Every minute without a cigarette is a small victory. One cigarette will negate all those victories. You can beat this. I am praying for you brother!

Keep it up, brother.:tu
I just hit the one week mark, so we're in this together.:wnr

Re: Quitting Cigs.
 

Congrats. Are you smoking cigars or are you backing off for a while?

Re: Quitting Cigs.
 

You can do it. Set a goal, stick to it, take it one day at a time and never think "just one" will work as it just screwed me again after beating it for 7 months.;s

Re: Quitting Cigs.
 

Day five over- man I wanted one after dinner.

Re: Quitting Cigs.
 

Never mind that.Pick up some smaller cigars too.If the wife and I can quit cold turkey,you can too.

Re: Quitting Cigs.
 

On a more serious note, I quit the cigs on May 28th this year.

Ain't had one since.

I did the double whammy approach - Wellbutrin AND the Patch.

I smoked for over 20 years....you can do it, Bro!

Yeah, I smoked a Boli Bonita, but I need to buy some minutos for the car.
