Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

So I'm trying to quit. I've smoked about 3/4 a pack (15 cigarettes) per day for roughly 7 years. I started smoking because I thought it was cool and it gave me something to do when I was bored. Boy how things have changed. What I used to think was cool is now so ------- stupid. I thought looking cool and getting attention was what made a person cool rofl. Now I think that people who have their ---- together and are in control of themselves are cool. Instead of looking up to rock stars and Italian gangsters; I now look up to anyone who is on top of their bills, makes good money, respects others, and is in good shape physically.

I was a ------- specimen back in high school, seriously. I had 22" arms, 6% body fat, and could run 10+ miles at a brisk pace without even struggling. I looked like a damn UFC fighter or something. That was almost 10 years ago though. I now have 17" arms and am starting to look/feel soft. I used to work out on the bench doing reps of 225; now I can barely get 205 up once! Basically, I'm a bitch compared to what I used to be, and I attribute that to my smoking.

I've now made the commitment to get my former body back and live a healthier lifestyle. Before I can even think about doing aerobic exercise; I have to get my lungs back in shape. So in other words, the first step to getting back in shape is to quit smoking. After that I can change my diet to the more healthier protein and fruits/vegis, but I have to quit now before it's too late.

I smoked my last cigarette around 10pm PST this Friday. That puts me only a couple hours shy of the 48hr mark. They say the 48-72hr shot is the worst, so I'm dreading the next day. My body is telling me to GIVE IT NICOTINE NOW, but I'm fighting it with all my heart. I haven't slipped up even once since I quit. I didn't plan it either; I just finished off that pack and decided it was time. I feel like ---- because I'm going through nicotine withdrawls!

My point of starting this thread is because I need advice from other ex-smokers, and also want to have this thread to look at when the cravings are going through the roof. I really don't want to smoke anymore, and have faith I can beat it, but ---- is NOT easy. If any of you smokers are thinking about quitting; NOW IS THE TIME! You know I'll be quitting with you, so throw away that pack and call it done. IDK about you folks, but I'm tired of my teeth getting yellow, my clothes smelling like smoke, coughing up weird ----, and looking like a fool while smoking a cigarette. They definitely aren't cool. Let's get this thread going! I know there are a lot of guys on here that smoke and want to quit, and probably a few of you that have quit successfully. More than anything that's who I want to hear from. TIA

Go with Zyban. Worked for me, no stress, no struggles.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Apology accepted there JD. Lemme guess, here comes another one of your great replies that has to do with either faggots, cocks, or both. I think we've all heard enough of your closet gayness and would like there to actually be a thread with some viable content on this site rather than you raving about nig gers, faggots, and cocks. The only reason people put up with you is because you've been here so long. Kindly stay out of my thread because I'm seriously trying to do something here. Yes, I am in a bad mood, and probably shouldn't expect anything but bathroom humor, gay humor, or racial humor on this site; especially from you.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

I've never heard of that. Google time.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

And btw, this isn't a "Has he smoked yet?" thread at all. I just wanted to hear from people that have successfully quit because I need all the information and quit stories I can get. I decided to give some back history so people could relate and respond accordingly. Life>HMT which I know is surprising to some of you guys that sit on here all day and troll around trying to piss people off. Ok so back on track? Anyone else?

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Ha, nicotine withdraws. Try opiate withdraws on for size. I figure if i can kick opiates I could kick anything. Time for a cigarette.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Been there done that. I think that's why I have an edge and can go cold turkey on the cigarettes. Opiate withdrawls are a whole different animal that's for sure. Thank God for Suboxone is all I can say.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Amen brother, suboxone is a gift from god.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

You're a clueless little cock loving faggot; I don't use the n-word. ::)

Oh, yah, I am also tolerated because I know something about cars. Thought I should add that to the record.

And a link for you, good sir: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...445#msg1149445

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Alright cool. Widebody had a thread about him stopping smoking. This thread is about everyone in general quitting smoking. In fact, it looks like it's branched out to quitting addictions in general. Yes, you do know a lot about cars. There, are you happy now? Can the thread continue as planned now that I've admitted you have a vast knowledge of automobiles? I promise not to argue about DSM's if you can find it within your soul to hold back on whoring up all my threads.

I'm in a better mood now because I ate some 2mg Nicorette gum. I wanted to go full on cold turkey, but I would have smoked, so I got the gum instead. I was getting all pissed and think I broke my hand from punching ---- after I had a minor meltdown because I couldn't beat a mission in GTA4. It's all duct tapped up now, so Ima take some Lunesta and pass the ---- out. Thank God I'm only doing MIG tomorrow because that ---- is easy with only 1 hand.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

I don't think quitting smoking is hard, WANTING to quit is. at least in my case.

I can go days without smoking. I can want a cigarette and not smoke. The problem is I WANT to smoke, not that I need to.

Once you go a week, it gets easy. But generally it's hard to say what the best way to quit is as every person is a little different.

My experience:
10 years ago, quit cold turkey. Didn't smoke again til like 2 years ago. So I basically started again. Was up to like a pack a day, quit. But I didn't want to quit. So I'm not gonna quit, but rather cut back drastically. Now I smoke anywhere from 0-4 cigs average a day. Unless I am out and drinking, then I'll smoke 1/2 a pack or more. I can say that I do not get serious cravings for it, it's more that I just want to smoke. I actually have a slight craving now for one, but I'll pass... for now.

Why don't I just quit completely? Seems that when you deprive yourself the option to smoke, that's what makes it hard. Sometimes it's better to gradually quit. But of course, if you decide to quit cold turkey, remember not to give into temptation. Once you realize that you can reject it after wanting it sooooo bad, it becomes cake and it'll be easy to say no. You'll actually feel like you overcame something. Have you tried the nicotine gum for when you have really bad cravings?

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Wow, you're no fun at all.

Look, if you're ready to quit you just do it. Just like anything in your life. As long as you obsess over how to quit, or if you have it in you to quit, or what you need to do to quit, you are still obsessing over cigarettes which is the furthest thing from the point. You have to be like Yoda, simply do it without all this try bullshit. You wake up one morning and simply do something else with your hands and mouth for the rest of your life, without thinking overmuch on the subject. I've made radical lifestyle changes a couple different times in the past, whether girls or drugs (not much different in how some men react to them) or whatever, and it's as simple as that.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Yep, it is what you make of it. It really is 95% mental. The 5% physical is kinda gay though. I can't sleep and I'm eating like an Ethiopian with a McDonald's gift card. I'm just going to take it a day at a time. Yes I have been remembering Yoda's famous words and am through smoking. It's not the cigarette I'm craving, it's the nicotine. Just like a junkie craves the dope and not the needle. This gum does help. I'm planning on using it until Wednesday and then I'll stop with the gum too. Then my nicotine cessation will be complete!

I've found that I crave smoking the most when I'm in a car, finishing a meal, or after busting a nut. One of my ex girlfriends just stopped by and took care of me after 6 months of nothing, so that was a real test right there. My other booty call got preggers, so she's no longer a viable cum dumpster. Damn shame. Ok time for another 6mg of Lunesta! Now I'm all fucked up on my sleep schedule! It's ------- 5am wtf goddamn motherrfuckers!!!! DIAF everyone! Thank-you.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

I quit twice in college. the first time lasted all of about 48 hours because i tried to go it on my own.. the second time around myself and 2 of my good buddies all quit at the same time.. worked like a charm and i haven't smoked since... to the best of my knowledge neither have they... If you find that you are unsuccessful this time around find a friend and quit with them... if you've got someone there to kick you in the balls if you start going for one its way easier.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Hell yeah man, congratulations on getting out from under the grasp of this ----. I was gonna quit with my bother in law, but our quit date was August 25. I just kind Forrest Gumped my way into this one. Day 3 bitches! Supposedly the hardest one. I feel great and am now gonna go MIG some stainless with a crippled hand ahahaha!

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

You have to break your routine.

I had been wanting to quit for about 4 months and I was tired of spending the money on it and I was tired of fealing like ----. I went on vacation for about a week. I figured that would be a perfect time because It was all new. I didnt get up in the moring and hop in my car and go to work. (I was breaking my routine.) I tried the patch but It made me way to dizzy and I wanted to puke my ------- guts out. The manin thing is wanting to quit. I enjoyed smoking, untill one day I said I dont realy like this anymore. ---- it its minde over mater and I always have said that I am in control of my life and nothing will ever control me(except my boost habit :P) That was almost 4 years ago. Still no smoking.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Yea the main thing is you actually have to WANT to quit, most people try to stop smoking because they know they should, not because the really want to, or otherwise it wouldn't be that hard. The way I quit was pretty much what your trying, basically wanting to start excercising and eating healthy except I did it ass backwards and did all that ---- while i was still smoking, the first time I got on the treadmill i felt like i was dying of ------- pnumonia or something and vowed I would never smoke one of those god damn things again.

I Have never smoked since and never had any cravings or all the usual bullshit, so just take a deep breath and tell youself that " ok, I am done with this" and move on, stop ------- freaking out and worrying about ------- up and getting all pissed, just move on. Also helps alot if you start doing something constructive instead of sitting around your house or whatever, go for a run, ride a bike, fix something, anything to get you out and make you feel better about your decision.

it was ALOT harder for me to stop drinking, but pretty much the same deal as said above, been sober and smoke free since march :)

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Yeah one definitely has to want to quit to be successful. I'm tired of it. I used to enjoy it, but now it just makes me feel like ---- and feel like a moron for polluting my body so much. It didn't help that my buddy kept smoking around me today either. What an -------. Fucker couldn't even wait until I wasn't around. He's lucky I had my gum or I'd have gone buck wild on him haha. I can't wait till 2 weeks have gone by and I can put this all behind me and begin training again. Bottom line is that quitting smoking is hard to do; but if you're not a mental midget you can overcome it.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Been about 28hrs since I had my last smoke , and it feels like my head wants to explode haha. I reckon quitting smoking comes with a buzz of its own , light headed etc ;D

But all jokes aside , this ---- aint easy :-\ I'm doing it cold turkey.
As mentioned its 95% in the mind , the other 5% can be beaten!
I'm taking the dog for another walk now (third time today) to get my mind cleared up.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

CHANTEX

not had a smoke for about 5 weeks now maybe more, slowed the drinking for a while, but now it's back up to the excess point "FTL" lol.

But still yo every day I wake up I feel like "FTW" lol.

I quit for a year then started back after going to iraq, got out, then quit again October of last year, still not smokin so yeah, learn to spit some skoal or something to get your mind off of it

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Chantex works by blocking pleasure receptors in the brain altering brain chemisrty. thats pretty lame, you wont want to do ---- thats fun. Nicotine is gone and all done after 72 hours. anythign after that is all in your mind, it cant physicly do anythign past that time limit because its all otu of your system. Its an oral fixation becuase folks smoke when they dont have anything to do with their hands. just chew regular gum and dont think abotu nicotine or nicorete and you will get teh same results. nicotine gum makes life harder cause it keeps the nicotine in yoru system longer.

just quit and dont think abotu it, start a project to work on everyday or do something that will consume yoru free time so you have less time sitting around thinking abotu it. and keep your hands and mouth busy with bottles of water and gum. 3 weeks later no prob.

Smoked for 10 years same as you bout 1/2 to a pack a day on average and kicked it cold turkey. Cigs aint ----

and if you are having a hard time keepign your anger in check puff a bowl every now and then or just a few hits. smooth you right out.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

I used the patch for 3 weeks....it was way strong. It gives you some AWESOME dreams though. They tell you on the label. Worked for me.....sept 9 of 06 was my last one. Keep it up....the first weeks are the worse. And....don't go getting drunk...it gets worse if you do.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Take zyban for the urge to smoke, and take nicorette MINTS to keep your body from going jittery. The mints are expensive, but they last for 30 minutes, keeping your mouth busy and keeping your body from the anxiety of not having nicotine.

So ur suckin cocks and gettn' drunk all day?

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

My freshman year of college, I smoked a lot of cigs, and weed. I up and quit everything in my sophomore year. Cold turkey. It's the only way.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

I smoked from 16 to right around 25, I quit in January. I wouldn't call it cold turkey because i cut back before I quit but I didn't take anything. Its the best thing I every did I always feel better and have more energy. I would recomend not doing things that make it hard not smoke like not going to bars for like 3 weeks, I know thats a task in itself. Also do something to replace the oral fixation like chew gum or chew on tooth picks or something.

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

Chantex never did anything such as not giving me any motivation to do anything fun. I was not depressed or anything of the like. I felt just a normal as normal can get. Yeah stay away from bar s friends/family that smoke and stay away from areas at work that is allowed to be smokers area. Seriously it only cost me $30 after my insurance covered their share of it. It worked just as described

Re: Any Of You Fuckers Quit Smoking? (cigarettes)
 

I have quit smoking a few times and restarted again for various reasons, each time I have been able to just put them down and not have a problem quitting. I have dipped off and on for a long time too and have more difficulty quitting that.
