Life Quitting Smoking - Page 8

Frazod · 08-15-2005, 05:49 PM

Both the wife and I need to quit, and since we've tried to quit at the same time before, and THAT REALLY SUCKED, I took the plunge first.

Haven't had a cigarette since last night. I've quit several times in the past, sometimes for up to three months - quitting ain't the problem - it's staying quit that kicks my ass.

Any advice on non-smoking methods/products or encouragement would be appreciated.

Yeah, but better Aunt Flow than her little niece or nephew that shows up nine months later and stays for 18 years.

Theres a solution for that. Buy your wife a bird.

I suggest something from the swallow family.

So I'm basically just really, really pissed off.

But I'm not smoking.

God, did my mouth always taste like this? I just gargled and still taste the smoke, only from three drags. Gag.

Dude you are going to have a craving for a long time. Out of nowhere it will come. That chit gets into your brain stem and stays there. I had a craving 8 years after I quit, 8 frigging years.

Being pissed off and irritable will go away in about a week or two. Hang in there and let your friends/co-workers know.

Yes after you quit smoking to kiss a smoker is just friggin gross.

This was the beginning of the end of this thread I have a feeling, if I just didn't kill it completely.

Everytime you want a cigarette at home. Get on your bike or go jog a coulpe of blocks. Everytime I got the urge I did this. Day or night. When you get home you have increased your heart rate. Basically you have done about the same thing that nicotine does for you. Then you will relax back to normal just like after a smoke.

Smoked 17 years and quit cold turkey. I was so addicted to those things, that occasionally I couldnt even finish my shower without lighting one up when i was in there (yuck), so If I can do it, anybody can.

Good Luck, it will get easier.
PS> Dont quit if you are not prepared to gain a little or lot of weight.

Don't worry, I don't think any of you have anything to worry about.

I'm just talking about above your normal level of pissed offness. Like when the board starts saying their Taurus's can take our Pony's.

But not to get off topic. Quentin is watching.

You about to make it past the worst part hang in there.

You could always use a straw first and drain the reservoir

P.S. Yes, your breath is that bad, it gets better dude, good job and good luck

Day 3. Sense of taste and smell are starting to come back. Now I'm starting realize that I really hate coffee, too.

Very irritable today, but I really don't have any desire whatsoever to smoke. I think the worst is passed.

I do miss the breaks, though.
