just as abrubtly as i started smoking 3 years ago i decided to quit!

no good reason except perhaps i smoked a lil too much one night then felt sick the next morning and though "why, this sucks balls" and i decided to quit... 😀

been 5 days now and i only really get cravings when drinking, being out at night or playing cs... kinda sucks when u associate things with smoking cuz its weird to do em later without smoking...

neways just thought id share with y'all

im contemplating becoming a social smoker after ive convinced myself i can live happily without cigarettes...
 
good for u man.

i started as a social smoker, and then started to get worse on my own

i haven't smoked since memorial day weekend.

but i have been craving it all the time.


and today i broke in and had a clove cigarrette.

bad, bad bad.

but i'm trying too!
 
it's scary...

i wouldn't even know that i'm craving it ... until it comes out in my dreams.

i had 3 of those dreams last 30 days.

still tobacco free. 🙂



i'm o/d'ing on coffee though.
 
Any wussy can quit smoking. It takes balls to stare cancer in the face. Can I have your leftover cigarettes?

Good for you! Be careful about the cravings when drinking. My political science professor told of his stop smoking story when he was in college. He did quite well until he was out drinking and socializing, then the cravings were hard. He resolved that he would only smoke when he was drinking on the weekends. Good plan.

Except he found himself drinking more just so he could smoke. hehe

i contemplated that but i know exactly the same thing will happen... 😀

ill quit till college in september...
 
Great decision. Better for your wallet and better for your body. Can't think of a single good reason why I smoked for so long. It's been 10 or 11 weeks now since I lit up my last one and I can tell I'm already benefitting from it. No more coughing, no more stinking up the place, no more throwing my money away, etc.

Just don't give in to the cravings. If you have to don't drink for the next week. My cravings dropped off dramatically after the first week, and once they did it was a piece of cake. Buy a bag of plastic straws ($.50) and chew on those while playing cs and stuff. Once the cravings stop you'll ask yourself why you ever smoked in the first place.

Good job!
 
Good for you! I also quit recently (I wasn't much of a smoker to begin with but I finally put the last nail in the coffin) and I feel much better. I still have cravings whenever I drink, but I figure that will go away with a little bit of willpower now.

On an unrelated note, I didn't even know they MADE Luckies Lights!!
 
thx for the support! 🙂




btw oh cmon!!! luckies lights are the best!!! they combine nice taste (loses only to marlboro lights), low like poison contents and the added style factor of being a lucky! 😀

Don't fool yourself. Social smoking will find you smoking a few packs a day soon. Good job for quiting. Keep it up and before long you'll wonder how anybody could stand being around you when you smelled like sh!t in an ashtray. Don't listen to foolish comments from others. If they had the balls to do it, they would quit also.

I knew something to that effect was coming from him.
 
thing is i never really thought i smoked loads...

actually its very lil i guess, in comparison...

like i started socially, to be cool, like most of us... 😱
then it was weekends when i was out, then at the mall, then when playing counterstrike... then alone at home when studying... never got around to lik 2 per day ... unless i went out a lot cuz i usually smoked 10 a night when i went out...

what scared me though was how quickly i was buying new packs... i mean ppl do borrow the odd i love you or two but i was smoking the packs too quickly since finals started/school finished... 2 weeks ago... last week i decided i should stop to get back in shape...

bigger balls than i got, i've seen people die of cancer and it ain't pretty by any means. i can only hope your kidding because i couldn't /wouldn't wish that fate on anyone. franguinho good job and keep it up, it was probably tthe hardest thing that i ever did and i've done it twice, the last time was 12 years ago.
