Quitting

As most of you know I'm quitting smoking right now.

I'm 11 days without a light which I'm proud of, but this past day I've started having what I would call withdrawls, my body has been shaking and I've been having cravings really bad.

I've started to keep a toothpick in my mouth to get my mind off of smoking, but I realised yesterday that I had started removing the toothpick more often, but the way I hold it is just like I would with a cigarette. Thank god I have Nivvy to talk to about it, she seems to be able to take my mind off it.

Has anyone here ever succesfully quit smoking?

er... you smoked? I didn't knew that 😖

those symptoms will be there for a day or three

I thought you knew I smoked.

Hmm...

I know other people know I did.

well, I'm not good at remembering 😖

The next step in my quitting is to get rid of all my lighters.

All 30 of them...

good, you should have done that earlier though 😉

congrats lance! I hope to be joining you soon my quit date oct 6,I am taking a quitting class with some friends sure hope I can do it!

I'm still doing good with cold turkey.

As long as I have someone here to keep me busy, I usually don't think about it at all.

It's not like I could have a smoke anyways. No money.

hey lance, wanna go out for a drink? 😉

Not really, I don't want to drink much either, some people may think I'm a party pooper, but I want to be healthier later in life...

Unless you're talking about sodas or something.

party pooper 🙄 😛😉

Whoo hooo! Go Lance! You can do it!

*waterboy*

I can do it all night long

drinking?

Uhh..quitting

im sure 😉

but that's not fun 🙁

my sister just stopped in February, but she had been trying to quit for years

good luck, man

you're lungs and taste buds will thank you one day

I quit when I was 18/19.

It was okay until I had a beer, then it was almost impossible. A serious bout of illness helped me kick the habit though.

You may find this shocking, but I started smoking when I was 8. I smoked 5 or so a day, that doesnt sound like much, but for a 8 year old thats a lot. Then one day i smoked too much and threw up, (when I was about 11 or so) and have never looked at a cigarette ever since. I'm not lying, compleete and utter truth. I hhate myself for ever doing it. Now I think back and say to myself, 8 years old, my god! thats like a friggin toddler 🙁. Thank god I stopped.
Now that youre all shocked..........GO LANCE, You can totally do it, man. Its all about will power. Dont let those ASBESTOS, CANCER CAUSING, FILTHY TUBES beat you down! Youre stronget than that. Think about it, man! TAR in your lungs, COUGHING fitts every morning for the rest of your life! Liver cancer, lung cancer,, tongue cancer, throat cancer!!
Dont let it consume you. You have it in you, just keep going. WILL POWER!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!
