for all those who quit for new years
 

cigarettes... how are you all doing? i think im done... my goal for new years was to set a plan to quit before the end of january. and i picked the end of the first week of school, which was thrusday for me. ive held strong, even with friends throwing cigarettes at me trying to get me to smoke again(good influence aye?). its now reaching the 72 hr mark, and i think the nic fits are starting to stop, but i havnt worked yet since then and thats where they come out the most.

i have a pack I'm almost done in my jacket.. and won't smoke again until I hang out with my friend jesse.. who will goto a store and ask me if I want a pack.. and I'll most likely toss him 5 dollars to get another.. :/

haha i was gonna stop tuesday, but i got another pack tuesday night and had to well... smoke it. do cigars count? i think not. maybe i'll go get an expensive one

nah cigars don't count, most people don't inhale when they smoke cigars so

Yep, work is where i gave in. :o

Ya bunch of quitters. Bollocks to you all. Hmmm...now where's my lighter.:D

Haha, I started back. :pfft: But the good thing is I only smoke when I drink. It just happens that is like 6 times a week. :D

I'm just temp. quiting tell i get over this cold/flu. its horrible :paranoid:

i tried to quit before and if i go more than 2 hrs without a smoke i am going nuts. have you ever seen smoked meat spoil ?

Holy shit there are a lot of smokers on the board. Who here does NOT smoke? Don't be shy, you won't be an outkast. :rolleyes:

Kudos to you all who attempt to stop.

Tsk tsk tsk to all who only attempt for a day and cave in. :o

well i drank last night and smoked half a pack... back to ground zero

^^^That happens man...shitty

I quit about 3 years ago..I smoked at least a pack a day...I enjoy not smoking now...

never will I smoke cigs

i dont smoke!!

i smoke way to much, Fatal on here tries to get me to quit a lot.... hes acually broken them outta my mouth before. But its to hard to quit, i dont even try any more...

I don't smoke either

never smoked Cigs and never will :):no: :no: :no:

past another 36 hr mark... i think ive beaten physical addiction, now just mental.

Mental's the hardest part. :pfft:

The third day is the hardest. That's when your blood stream will pick up an get rid of the carbon monoxide and pick up more oxygen. It makes it a total bitch to sleep. Perhaps some Ambien is in order?:D Also, Wellbutrin will help you stop smoking. I don't know how, but it worked for my brother.

what is wellbutrin?
I've actually tried to quit smoking like once, and i didn't do very well on that attempt, but i really want to...

It's actually an anti-depressant. For some reason it helps people quit smoking. I'm not sure if it's a chemical compoud in the drug or if it puts you in a certain frame of mind. Maybe check out webmd. I honestly haven't a clue how it works...but apparently it does.

oh, ok
I'm sure it has nothing to do with smoking nor was it made for it. It probably just makes you "happy" with your current state so you don't need a cigg.

Actually some doctors will prescribe it just to help you quit smoking.

I dont know i doupt that. I have been on anti depressents for some years now. And still smoking.

Ok...here's how it is. Wellbutrin (antidepressant) is Bupropion. Zyban (helps you quit smoking) is Bupropion hydrochloride. Same stuff. Apparently no one knows why it does, but it does.

is zyban an over the counter drug? and I made a pact with my cousin that we'd both quit smoking now.. seriously going to try it

Not sure...but I doubt it. Wellbutrin is by prescription...and Zyban is the same stuff.

Why are you guys so close to begin with? :paranoid:

A pack a day seems like a lot. Holy Jeebus.

I don't smoke, never have, and I think I'd probably choke my first attempt as I don't "know" how.

Does gum actually help you guys stop smoking?

Fatal lives prob 2 min ride from my house... plus i hang out with him everyone once and a while. He's the one who brought me to this site. (Thanks man). Plus hes always been there for me. And we have fought before. lol. But i love ya Nick. lol. And no i am chewing gum right now really bad and it isn't doing shit. It just take the missing of a cig in between your fingers.

He's so gonna kick your ass for that. :D

lol. o-well. Sorry Nick im not gay. I got a girlfriend and i know you do too. I know it could never happen between us. ;( (sarcatic)

damn you for being right... i woke (2 hrs before my alarm) wanting one real bad... must make it through the day

just work through it man...i just bought another pack even though i shouldn't have...man i'm an idiot

What is this laser thing you can get? One of our managers smokes 1.5 packs a day and is planning on getting this laser procedure to help him quit. Apparently they shoot a laser right behind your ear or something like that.

Anyone have any more information?

I've heard of it. Apparently it's just like acupuncture...but with lasers. They shoot a low level laser at various parts of your body and somehow it's supposed to help you quit. Check out http://www.laserconcept.com/smoking.php

sounds expensive

More like it sounds stupid. It's just a new twist on hollistic medicine...but with hi-tech stuff so people are willing to pay more for it. You could just go to an old Chinese guy for the same treatment...without bullshit lasers.

day 5: cravings gone, cigarette smoke dosnt make me want one now. i think im done. not too bad from smoking about a pack a day one week ago.

You'll be back! :pfft:
