This is wonderful! Thank you so much.

yup, this is still working for me, must be like 3 months now.

I quit cold turkey 1 month ago. I had been about a pack a day for about decade I had been trying to quit for the past 18 months, Was using the patch, it worked once, but i slowly started smoking again because i allowed myself to but "that occaisional smoke." Pretty soon i was smoking as much as before. switched to cigars, black and milds, roll your own cigs pouch tobacco, all that is trading one for the other. Thats how i feel about the patch now too. What you got to do is just cut nicotine out all together. And once you got a few days underyour belt, dont reward yourself with a puff, just one puff is all it takes to make your brain as addicted to nicotin as you were before you quit smoking. ONe puff throws away everthing. Anyway, i found these tips on google that helped me quit this last, and hopefully final time. I think cold turkey is the way to go. The patch is made by the same company that makes the ciggs, pluss its expensive. You really dont NEED them, you can go without, its just uncomfortable for a few minutes each day for the first few days. Anyway, good luck, and check out these tips.

Right on brother Cookie Monster! You can do it. It's just one day at a time. Sometimes it was one minute at a time when the nicotine fits were giving me the dickens. Little miracles each and every one of them.

Won't it be nice to say this time next year that all you have to worry about is that smidgen of cookie dough that may be stuck to your waistline as a by-product of taking back control of your life from tobacco?

K++ CM and to all of you who are giving up smoking tobacco! You deserve it.

Your damm right i can do it MPD and thank you for the kind words.
Cookie is going to become a machine with a single goal and god help anything that stands in my way...or at least thats how i feel about kicking the coffin nails.

The good weather is here and part of the plan is when the craving hits i'm gonna hit the kayak or take a jog with the pups, pretty much anything physical to burn off the craving, no pain no gain.

Damm things are ridiculous in price 8.50 euros for 20 fags tho i do wish the government would whack another 2 euro on the tax might help the economy or at least lessen the burdon on the health system in years to come.

The only thing cookie's gonna be inhaling is what cookie grows and clean country air both are good for what ails you :joint:.

23:43 here and i have 17 minutes left as a tobacco smoker and 11 ciggs to crumble in the bin...roll on 12 am

See, you'll feel better eventually. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it's a tough row to hoe and you can do it.

I was able to use a secret weapon that made smoking an impossibility within 24 hours. You just didn't want to risk it.

Step 1: Choose a window. It should be one that's double hung so that it goes up and down.

Step 2: Light a cigarette.

Step 3: Drop your pants.

Step 4: Take a drag on the cigarette while you lay your Johnson on the windowsill.

Step 5: Exhale and slam the window.

Repeat these steps and I think you will find reserves of willpower previously not even considered possible.

Smile when you can, laugh whenever you feel the need and remember, the withdrawal symptoms are really your body just acclimating itself to its own new reality...

ROFLMAO, thanks bro I really needed that today. Had a colleague swear that popping a rubber band on your wrist would work, so I am quite sure your more extreme version is fool proof. Talk about imprinting, just reading that killed the urge that was building up in me, lol.

Come on, luaith! You have already made it! You are now running out of nicotine in your system and those receptors are screaming. In another 8 days they will only scream half as loud. You watch and see. I know I'm right. You are doing just fabulous and need to recognize that you are doing what needs to be done!

I am so proud of all of you. Just get in there and go! K++++++!!!!

i started smoking recently. what happened was i went to the movies i saw the star of the film constantly smoking cigarettes. i thought "wow, that looks so cool, i should do the same thing". see how this happens? what i needed was for the government to protect me. they could pass legislation so this doesnt happen to anyone else.

But now you know and you can beat it! We're all pulling for you folks! You know that you started it and you can stop it!

One day at a time. That's all it takes - not smoking TODAY. Tomorrow will mind itself...

Hello everyone.

I had been a smoker from spring of 89 till last December 7th. I just couldn't stand the thought of smoking for two decades so I quit at 19! LOL. Anyway, I now feel fairly normal and I will never smoke ciggys again. Just remember it's three days, three weeks, three months. When you reach each of these markers things will get earier. I still have to work on not smoking but it is much much easier than it was just a month ago. Oh yeah I used chantix and I recomend it to anyone who wants to quit the habbit. Gum and patches just made me smoke more.

Good luck to everybody with their quit.

I just started rolling my own...its a lot cheaper, even know the federal tax on ROL (Roll you own) or loose tobacco went up April 1st from $1.98 a pound to $24.78!!

The cigs I smoke are connoisseur, All black filter and paper with a gold band and packed with Blackcherry tobacco.

I'm not condoning NOT quitting....but if you have to smoke, smoke natural tobacco, none of all that shit the tobacco companies add...The FCC Chemical Alone:yoinks:

That Chantix crap made me wanna kill myself and take a few people out with me for good measure. That stuff is evil. If anybody needs a year's supply or so, let me know, you can have it for free. Yuck. It's so horribly expensive, I ain't thown it out.

Still haven't bought any Marlboros yet......... I still can't get my head around not smoking. The physical craving stuff ain't no biggie, it's the "well, I'll have a cig now" that runs through my head every 2 minutes.... This is definitely a more mental thang for me than physical addiction at this point. Wonder what'll happen when the weed runs out? Uhoh!

uhoh is right only on day 2 here and i want to have a cigg sooo bad, person that shares my house still smokes and i know there are 2 twenty packs on the fridge, my lungs can sense them calling to me.

And just to make things worse i promised the better 3/4's that i wont smoke (ciggs ) again so here i am folks dying for a cigg and even if i really wanted to take 1 puff i cant.

Thank god i waited untill i had a nice amount of weed before i quit, without it i'd be screwed.
I should of stuck to cookies!!

Stay strong folks there is hope for us yet and we should all thank MPD for the encouragement.

Edit: i have found that not carrying money when i go out helps seems stupid but if you know you cant afford a pack you dont think about it as much.
