Quitting smoking is like quitting anything else you have to be honestly be ready to quit and do it for yourself. If you arent ready no matter what miracle drugs you take you will start back. Been smoke free almost 2 years now :)

Indeed its not easy. I started when I was 17ish, now I'm 19 and I find out I'm going to be a parrain under one condition, that I give up smoking.

Damn Blue. Good Job! I tried to smoke one yesterday and couldn't finish it. Once you quit for an extended period if time they really do taste like ****. Makes you wonder how you ever liked em.

haha true...but in all reality, cigarettes are ALOT worse than crack. More people addicted, more people that can't quit, and more people that have died from smoking cigs than crack.
maybe chantix is for me then...i was really hoping that i wouldnt need it:pissed:

Good job. Keep up the good work.
My college pshyc proffessor spent a few days talking about quitting and how to do it. I used this when I quit 12 years ago.
The main thing was to stay away from the triggers. Gotta figure out what they are for you.

Exactly..... I quit a couple years back, but i was ready. Smoked until new year's eve and a midnight i quit and that was it. it bothered me when i drank at first, but after acouple months it was like i got over the hill and all cravings were gone. Once I get to the point when I could smell the smoke on people or in their vehicle, I wandered how i ever smoked in the first place.

If I ever made up my mind to quit smoking....I'd have to include coffee drinkin' to the list. Gotta have a cig with the java.

I have been cig free since Jan 1st this year. Believe me it was tough for awhile but getting through it is worth it. I put on a ton of weight though as I am now eating everything in sight!

Does anybody have a theory as to why most people grab a smoke immediately after eating? :confused: I actually light a smoke with food still in my mouth. Can't help it! Also, I've heard many people (men and women) say that their best cigarette is right after sex. I don't know about that cause I don't smoke while sleepin'. :rolleyes:

I used to like to smoke after I ate just relaxing. Now, with three kids and one on the way the only time to relax is to sit on the can! What kileed me with the smoking was on the road so much!

5 or 6 weeks now without a dip!!!!! Had been dipping for almost 11 years. Never thought I could do it but surprisingly it was easier than I thought after a couple weeks. I can drink beer or eat and even go fishing and not get the "itch". Very glad I did it!!!! Congrats to all on quitting.
