Keep goin', Austin!!! We're behind ya win or tie!

 

[Shooter]

I'm plugging along. I start every morning now with gum and coffee, it's helping fight the craving.

Smokers, how long before the cravings went away all together? I think I'm to far into stopping to still have the intensity I'm having with my cravings.

Never!!!! But is becomes less compelling all the time. But, at least for me, there is always "that moment" that sneaks up now and then. Just step on it's scaly little neck and press on.....

My Girlfriend and I started on our journey to quit yesterday. We barely made it through the day without strangling each oyher. Day two we went to work and are still alive.



Aim Small Miss Small!

Keep at it Yooper. The two of you can do it alright. Sometimes better to have each other for support.

I think had we tried to stop together it would have caused some major issues. Both of us irritable is never a good thing.

Tried to quit. I can go 20 hours without a prob. I can go 3 weeks without a prob. I go one month and my face turns purple, people get concerned. I go 6 weeks people start disappearing on my way to work. I go 6 months and the FBI is knocking at my door. I go a year and I'm preggers. So the end result is. I am who I am. I'll quit if I have to. Let me repeat HAVE TO. But please don't make me go more than 21 hours. The patch doesn't work. Gum doesn't work. Only pregnancy works and that is not an option!!

I have the utmost respect for those of you who Will, Can, and Do!!

Sorry, I'm all about Honesty where my "friends" are concerned

When did you quit?

 

[Shooter]

First of the year, round about.

I got close yesterday, but took walk instead. I'm being told chugging a big glass of water helps.

Just about anything will work that breaks that thought train. Walking is great because it also give some great cardio exercise.

Good going Austin.

Yea, there are trigger phases (hurdles). For a while it will be like every thirty days. Then three months, a year. Especially if you were a long time or heavy "consumer". . Once you get past that year mark you'll be glad you did though. All you're doing is extending your warranty to have more time with "momma" and the family and that is very much worth it. But I don't have to tell you that.
Stay strong my friend. I have faith in you

 

[BlynnXD9]

Austin,

You can DOOOOOOO it man! I quit two years ago. I did it with the patches.It
is a [email protected]#% at first , but if u fight it out it gets easier about two weeks in. Biggest prob I had was mind games, fidgeting..... reachin for my pack when its not there.... hahaha.. hope u succeed.. just dont start smokin cigars or dippin after... KEEP BUSY....Stick with it...!!

 

[artbrownsr]

I've been off them for 20+ years and occasionally I still get a hankering, I have my faith I fall back on as well as family, friends , etc. DO NOT be too proud to say I NEED HELP. If they are your friends you will be supported not further tempted. GO GETTEM Austin!

 

[xddan]

hang in there i quit 16 years ago

[Shooter]

Things are getting better, I did switch to the lozenges, but I don't know if it helps.

Sure it takes care of the craving, but then once it's worn off I'm right back where I started.

Austin, this article should make the most ardent smoker quit.
You can use all the supplements you want but in the end you have to be determined and want to stop smoking.
I quit completely 13 years ago and shortly thereafter noticed I could smell things again and breathe much better.

I always liked the part where taste and smell returned....not to mention being able to breathe better.

I think that's my issue. Logically I dislike smoking, it's bad and cost money, but I really enjoy it, so it's almost like I'm tricking myself.

 

[Balota]

You're not tricking yourself, the nicotine is. Might as well be cocaine or heroin, same kind of chemical and social dependency, High cost, bad for you. Different magnitudes perhaps, but not by as much as you'd think. Get pi$$ed off at the drug if that helps you stay focused.

What you're doing is good and it's worth it. Keep going.

 

[Shooter]

I have a lozenge in my mouth right now. At first they were great, now not so much.
