I actually kept a pack of cigs with me in my car. This way I always knew I had them and it removed that jones feeling. Kept it at more of a "me vs the cig" and not freaking out cause I was out.


And my pot consumption increased significantly but I am tobacco free!!!!

I quit smoking a pack a day 13 and half years ago. I had smoked since I was 15 and quit when I was 24. I had help from the patch the first day. I think I just made up my mind to do it. I think you just have to occupy yourself with something positive and productive. For me, it was grad. school.

Battling an addiction is in its simplest form, retraining your body\mind.


Every time you get an urge for a drink start thinking about something else. And if possible do something like go for a walk or hit some pushups or something. Most cravings fade after 20-30 min.

Warn your loved ones as well that you will be moody. It doesn't happen overnight.

One day you will realize you have gone a week without a drink. And then logic will start to set in. If you can get through a week withouth a drink you can get through 2.

You just have to convince yourself that you can get by without it and enjoy life just as much.

But I know quiting smoking was tough. I started working out 3-4 times a week when I did and trying to hang out with women and others that did not smoke and dispised smoking hopefully.

Then you know you can do it. If you can go 9 years you know it can be done. Do you want to quit drinking? I am sure the answer is yes and no. Yes you want too, no you feel like you cannot.

But you know you can. My old roommate did it. Took meeting a nice girl that helped him but told him he had to calm it down or he was out. He went through some tough times but it is under control now.

But it comes down to desire. Do you want it or don't ya? I seriously kept a pack of cigs in my car. Every other time I tried to quit was when I smoked the last cig of a pack. Then I would just be freaking out thinking about not having any cigs every time I'd drive by a gas station. So I kept a full pack in the car. Then when I got the urge I just told myself, "not right now". And it was a lot eaier since I actually did have some. I could focus more on not wanting one as opposed to jonesing cause I was out.

My situation is odd, I just keep abusing it and abusing it.... If I don't quit, I won't live long.

I have had my battles with the sauce for a year now. I could go on and on with it, but it comes down to, I think you need serious help to quit. When I quit my quality of life didn't really improve so I just went back to it. Depending on how bad it is (and it's always worse than you think) you may need real help. Unfortunately I can't just stop going to work to get into a real program but holy shit do I drink a alot. Not during the week because I have to work, but the weekend I Crack open the first one well before noon. If you are serious go to soberrecovery and call a local person before it gets to the point it ruins shit. I don't really have family down in KC so I just ****ing around with quitting every 6 months or so, then I realize i have more fun drinking. I am careful when I drink and never drive but you know you are a slave to the drug when you plan your whole day around it. I am like ok my keys are here my glasses are here time to start drinking (or using) as I call it. I call it using because it mine as well be tying off your arm for herione or some shit.

In all seriousness you should try using your own vanity to combat your addiction. You're a fashionable guy, there's nothing hot about a drunk. There's nothing hot about being that guy with the vericose, pourous nose making a fool of himself. Think about the chicks and challenge yourself to make through life without a crutch. I'm not trying to quit drinking, but would like to curb it, I haven't had a drink in 3 weeks using this strategy.
