    Quitting Smoking Sucks

    I have smoked for over half my life and have decided to quit. Well, with the wife nagging and the latest jump in price i am forced to. I have smoked two packs a day for 15 years and now i have been exactly thirty hours without a smoke. It sucks, my skin is crawling and i just want to beat the crap out of somebody, anybody!!!

    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    It sure isn't easy but you'll be glad you did. I quit almost 4 years ago and I'm damn glad I did.

    I was able to quit for about 3 months about 2 or 3 years ago. The first 2 weeks is really tough cuz your body is cleansing itself of the nicotine. It does get better though. You just gotta find ways to keep busy. Just dont think about it. I always kept some hard candy in my pocket for when I would get a craving. Just stick to it, alot of people try many times at first before they actually quit. It's almost time for me to try again.

    I smoked for over 10 years of my life, so I know exactly what your going through right now. I havent had a cigarrette since July!

    It wasnt about the nicotine really at all for me, more so the habbit. Smoking was my happy place, my break from reality. I have quit on several occassions, once as long as 6 months. Now Im going for the gold.

    Hang in there man!

    carry a bottle of water with you everywhere you go. it helps.

    I went from over a pack a day during the week, two to three packs a day on the weekend nights... to nearly nothing.

    I had five or so last night...first time in a long time...tasted like straight ass.

    the good thing about slowing down or quitting is that your taste and smelling sensitivity goes through the freaking roof.

    I quit over 2 years ago by going cold turkey. I was hard at first, but just kept telling myself if I really wanted one I could have it tomorrow. After awhile you start the cravings go away. I made sure I went to the bar right when I quit to get used to being around smoke. Now I can sit in a bar or around people smoking and not have an interest at all. It is worth the struggle. I also have young kids and want to try and be around as long as possible for them.
