Insert moral support here...

[Kayak Jones]

Quit smoking 2 days ago after about 32 years of the habit. Just having a really weak moment here. It will pass. Holy shit this is tough.

[THE BOUNCER]

You want some support.

Have you heard about the man that lost his wife and 3 daughters in the cali mudslide while he went out for icecream?

Thats tough.

When stopping smoking gets tough for you think of this man. He has lost his whole family.

If that commercial of the grandfather that's not there as his grandchild is walking toward him doesn't do it, I don't know what will. That commercials sad. Those things kill you slowly-the sooner you quit, the better.

Your avatar is enough moral support for me.

Your breath won't stink anymore.

It said the next time i go for ice cream I'm damn sure taking my family with me!. But, That ain't really funny is it. I'm just trying to be careful about what I say around anybody because when I start talking to anybody it comes out like I am seriously pissed at the world. I'm not really, but the nicotine cravings are screwing with my head.

Congradulations and you've got a PM.

Here's a link to something that may help you. They have a chat board too.

QuitNet


The first few days are the toughest, after that you will begin to feel good again!

Nicotine is a very addictive substance, so I can understand the way you feel. But, smoking is a choice just as drugs and alchohol are. So when people develop a problem with them, I can't be all that sympathetic

Bro...I don't know if you have a wife and kids but just think of the time you are adding to your life by quitting! If you did by chance smoke around your family think about the years you were taking off of their lives by doing so and now that you are quitting the years you are giving back to them! Have you tried the patch or the gum yet? Don't know if those things are worth a damn but they may help!

Cory that was lame.

Sorry man, just being honest. If something bad happens to someone that is out of their control, then I can sympathize with them.

[Tinfish]

i have quit chewing about 84 times.

Good luck to you. Its a mother fucker.

[Stonecold54]

Find other things to do that are not "quiet" time. You need to be out of stressful situations but also you want to do things that keep you preoccupied.

[Kayak Jones]

Update: Starting day 6 smoke free. Thanks to those who have offered support. I've read it before too but whoever said that all nicotine is out of your body in 72 hours is so full of shit they should be shot. Days 4 and 5 WAY worse than 1-3. I also have little sympathy (usually) for those who bring this kind of stuff on themselves, but the next time I get called to some junkie or some strung out mf because they're having withdrawals or dt's or some other screwed up shit because they ran out of dope, well now I know sorta how they feel. My nose is startin to work better already cause I passed by this woman at Krogers and DAMN she smelled good. Unfortunately while at the same store I smelled ass from another one a couple of aisles over. I'll continue updates for a couple of weeks for those who are interested along with some things that have been helpfull for me. Might be of some use for anyone else interested in giving up this disgusting habit.

[Puddles]

Keep up the good work. I think it's fantastic that you're willing to share this with everyone. It can help someone else who's trying to quit as well as give some insight to people who don't smoke but have someone they know quitting.

Good luck and take one day at a time.
