Quitting Smoking

So after smoking ciggies for a year, I've decided im way too poor to smoke and am going to give it up.

Im currently smoking a pack a day (20's) and find it hard to drive anywhere without chain smoking.

Im thinking im going to go cold turkey tomorrow as I have tried the gum before but it didnt really work for me.

Has anyone here quit and how did you do it? Someone told me to replace cigs for coffee but I dont think I would be sleeping much if that happened

ps I am enjoying listening to this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkjsBTf21FY

smoke crack.

But I like the play on words

Hello. my name is ray and im a goodie two shoes that is better then everyone else here so temptation is not a problem with me. I've never done drugs, or drank, or even had sex yet, since im saving it for marriage. I just wanted to post, saying how I am better then you in every way. Now I must pass gas and then smell it, because I am that smug.


aheyyyyyyyyyyyyy

on a serious not tho mark. thats good yur qutting, or well trying. best thing I can say is just keep yur hands and yur mind busy.

How the fuck do you know my name? haha.

Yeh but worst possible situation is going to be driving.

dude, u added me on facebook. and the first thing, and well only thing u said to me was "michael slavin, yur a odd fellow" or somethin like that.

edit - and im tight with jack

Oh I thought it must be facebook related.

Oh really thats nice, he txts me from time to time asking to get high.

use sunflower seeds, every time you have a craving, pop a handful in your mouth. I havent tried this method, but I have tons of friends that swear by it.

next time I try to quit, that will be what I try.

ive also heard that cinnamon candies work too.

Well, hey, at least Mike's clever enough to come up with his own ideas and descriptions.

Comparing yourself to me will only make you feel worse, as you clearly do, based on the unprovoked personal attacks. Don't worry, Mike, you'll get on my level eventually. You just don't have the capacity or opportunity to at the moment.

Word, I've always heard that the best way to do it is to slowly ween yourself off of them. Cutting back gradually until you don't need them at all. Every time you get the urge to smoke, just wait a half hour, and then light up. If you double the amount of time between smokes, and continue to do so more and more, it won't be nearly as physically or psychologically devastating. Fewer cigs you smoke a day will help you get off them for good.

Plus, actually sitting down and adding up how much you spend weekly/monthly/yearly on cigs can really motivate you to quit.

An eat em or just let them sit there?

Ill give it a go sounds good.

To be fair though, he is better than you. Sorry, but Ray is awesome.

hahaha you think your so great eh. dude I never ever want to be like you. your a tool. thank god im not a yur level, I wouldnt wish your life on anyone.

edit - and matts just a poof
edit 2 - and lol I just thought it would be funny to say somethin like that cuz you think your top shit. nothing about personal attack. was kinda just inb4 u said it yurself. since in yur mind yur top shit

I feel for you Michael, I really do.

I feel for you 2

See, Mike, you can't even recognize when you admire someone else. Once you accept me as someone you strive to be like, then you can start to become a better person. Until then, you can keep trying to knock me down to your level. It feels good up here, though.

Word, I'd suggest Nick's idea with the sunflower seeds. There's a lot to the idea of having something else to concentrate on when you feel like you really want nicotine. Especially something like sunflower seeds or a strong mint. The intense flavors of salt or mint tend to take your mind off of the thought of wanting the cigs. I would suggest that along with gradually quitting. Doing it all at once really decreases your chances of being successful.

yur a joke haha

Hmmm yeah possibly just cutting down gradually will make it less harsh on my system, cheers ray

Damn, I didn't see the TV on the Radio song you posted. The whole Dear Science album is fucking awesome.

Family Tree is a great song. I'm a sucker for piano, and these guys always take the road less traveled for anything, and they make it work so well.

Edit - That video worked so damn well with it. Wow.

stop flirting with word

I quit cold turkey buy using the method Ray suggested. I dropped from a pack a day down to about 5 a day in a few weeks, then eventually down to nothing at all.

I smoked a few when I was drunk however, but for a while that was the only time I smoked, so it wasn't too bad.

After a while I didn't like the taste and smell of cigarettes anymore. Some mates would offer me a smoke and I would light it, take a few puffs and give it back because it tasted and felt like shit.

It may take a while, so don't feel guilty if you have a smoke or two, but if you're really motivated to quit it will defintely happen.

Good luck.

I was joking but is that saying you would if you could aford it?

Yeh I would give it a go, why not. You only live twice.

how comes you havnt tried it by now? you was promoting it all over the place at one time, which I didnt really understand, care to explain so I can rest in peace?

Is Crack, crystal meth aka P aka ice?

"P" is pretty big here, I saw a friend inject it into his arm in my car, via hypadermic needle and although I was very interested in the whole ordeal it put me off a bit. Granted if I was at a party I would give it a jam through a pipe aka glass cock but I don't really hang with a druggie crowd. Also $100 for a point is far beyond what I would pay to be hypo, but free? yeah why not.

I had it as my name for a while cause I thought it rolled off the tounge a bit. Simple as that.

If you're just tight for cash, switch to rollies. I've started this year and it saves me so much money. Then again, I'm more of a social smoker anyways.

Rollies are so dirty though, I've brought em a couple times before and they just dont really do it for me. They taste different, and it dosent feel like im getting nicotine.

But currently smoking a rollie now haha

lets hang out word

<3

Try leaving them at home, or only take like 3 with you at a time.

Only smoke after meals or at night.

Just try to make rules to test your will power, then gradually phase them out.



Rollies are for fucking fiends.

eat them.
