Well I quit smoking cigs for 4 months and it was not nearly as emotional as stopping MJ. I did start cigs again after that though.

this depends on who you ask. some psychologists think a mental addiction is harder to quit than the physical addiction. for example, if you want to quit cigs, or chew, all you have to do is get over the physical withdrawls that go along with it. no small task i know, i'm a smoker. on the other hand, a mental addiction is harder to convince yourself of the want to quit, and your mind will "make up" physical symptoms of withdrawl.
regardless of which is an easier habit to quit, both are mountains that are difficult to climb.

I've tried the stuff, even regularly smoked as a youngster but it's never been a struggle for me. Quitting copenhagen was incredibly difficult. Most of the battle is sincerely making up your mind. Good luck.

truth there. quitting cigs the 1st ten times literally made me a nut case. by the grace of God i finally got it done. by the mercy of God booze and dope wasn't a problem. strange thing was, i loved getting drunk, and hated cigs. nasty smell and taste in your mouth, that sort of stuff.
anyways best of luck. i'll say a prayer for you.

Very true. Knowing you should quit doing something, and honestly wanting to are very different.

I believe most people fail because they only make a half-hearted attempt in the first place. I know that's been true of me in the past. (Concerning various bad habits.)

It's very difficult. Moreso than most people realize, Mr. Chief Roundup.

My recommendation is that you find a 12 step program. The yellow pages and a few phone calls will locate a meeting in your area. If you're serious about the change, dive into the program with everything you've got.

It's the best (and oftentimes the only) way to accomplish what you're after.

Best,

FAX

Mind over matter buddy!

Hey guys I am through. Just seeing how this is affecting makes me feel very ugly and not worthy of the great people that are now in my life.
The funny thing is that the kids seem to be calming but my wife seems to be the one that I am cold and distant to. And she does not deserve that.

I will never smoke again. It is over. It is just a matter of getting past this without making her hate me right now and wanting to leave.

LOL, Brian, you know me well enough to know hell would freeze over before I would let something as dreadful as that happen. I thought of the worst punishment I could think of in the event I ever fell off the wagon and for me, donating to PETA was it.........I'm done.
