Im 2 inches away from going to the store and buying a pack of smokes. its been nearly 5 hours and im trying to quit (im serious this time!). I have a can of cope long cut thats just not doing it for me. any advice for a nicotine fiend? im gonna end up deleting this, just watch...
get on the patch, or have a friend to watch you, and if you smoke he kicks ur ass so bad u'll never smoke again.
or do weed.

I encourage smoking. You don't want to hear from me....
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
I feel your pain....alllll too well. For me, patches help a LOT. Also, don't smoke at all ont he day that you plan on quiting. I can't quit 'cold turkey' in the middle of the day.
cant smoke the happy herb. i have to pee in a cup. i tried the gum and that was awaste of hard earned green backs. no friends around right now.Canadianloser wrote:

I really dont wanna quit. but Im starting to feel lumps where I know I shouldnt be feeling lumps and I make a clicking sound with my lungs everytime I inhale deeply. and I have officially been smoking for half of my life on Oct 13th and that kinda erks me.
but the main reason is that since Im in the army again, and I was infantry before but now psy-op, I gotta be able to run 6 minute miles to show off all those poges (even though im a poge now).

The Cope probably isn't helping, you're replacing nicotine with nicotine (plus chew is just as detrimental to your health). Try the patch or the gum, no one way is going to work for everyone. My friend at work quit smoking and drinking on the same day. He's been clean for a year. He had the willpower to do it cold turkey, but he say's he misses the smokes the most.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

Get a newsreader ( or google groups ) and try alt.support.stop-smoking - I hung out there a lot when I quit, helped me a lot. They are a good bunch there! I've been off the smokes for 8 months now - best thing I ever did - alt.support.stop-smoking helped a lot in the first few weeks.
just chewing regular gum got me to stop the cravings, when i gave up. that took care of the of physical compulsion; i just 'mapped' chewing onto the 'light up' impulse by substituting it everytime (now i chew gum all the time). half the battle is psychomological - you really have to believe you want to stop
Have a dog shock collar on you. If you touch a pack of smokes, zap yourself. Simple Pavolvian training.

on a more serious note, the patch is what worked for my grandmother, so i'd say try that.
Bah you take the piss lol. I probly could of done it in 8 or somert. Since i quit basketball and did no fitness. I lost all fitness and now i cant run 5 minutes without being knackered lol.

Masturbation is the only cure.
Every time you get the urge for a smoke, go knock the top off instead.

Heavy smoker. Lost voice, waiting about a month to go to the doctor. He got diagnosed with lung cancer and was only able to work about another week after the chemo started. He still can't resist 1-2 a day. His denial is such that he doesn't even have a will.
lol
not.
/me smacks Gunsmoke.

well, infantry standard is something like 5 miles in 30 minutes or something. if you are what we call "A" group. I was never in "A" group because to tell you quite honestly, i fucking hate running. BUT, my prior MOS is setting the standard for what is expected. to tell you the truth ive never ran faster than 7 minute mile, but Im setting the bar high, know what I meanscottomus0 wrote:

fuck this, ill stop tomorrow
Chew normal gum just to get a new habit; which is the hardest part - breaking the habit. When i (first) quit i found just having a pen inbetween my fingers and spinning it helped when I got that oh so regular urge. If you do manage to quit don't ever do it again; especially when drunk and "one cig won't hurt" as you'll be straight back on - avec moi. curses. GL!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow...... Not a good way to set goals...GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
