how long have your withdrawal symptons been lasting? I've never gotten addicted to either, I have used both a few times but never understood the appeal.

I quit May 9 1997, was alot easier than I thought it was going to be, after a week it will all be better, JMO.

later

Smoking is for weak lemmings. I will never understand smokers. But really, what's to understand? If you are a smoker, you are weak.

I respect you more if you smoke crack. If you smoke crack, there is a payoff. If you smoke cigs, you're just a weak pussy. And it doesn't if you're some 6'5", 270 lb street thug from slum in Paris who smokes... Smoking is for pussies.

I had a coworker who smoked for about five years, hadn't touched the stuff in over a year, and is a huge prick because of it.

this guy was already a pessimist so i think quitting only excerbated his personality, and he still chews the gum. biggest complaints were the headaches and drinking wasn't nearly as fun for him without cigs.

Been like 15 days still getting fuking headaches.

OmgUrMom · 04-08-10, 01:38 PM

damn that seems like a long time, try and stick with it though bro, it will be worth it. Don't have to worry about getting lung cancer when you are older plus the money you save will add up.

jpowderly · 04-08-10, 01:40 PM

took me three times 1 year, 7 months finally quit for 12 years . had to almost give up drinking before I could quit for good

Do you exercise, Patty?

Most smokers have terrible diets and habits. They eat shit and smoke shit... and don't exercise. So you likely need to change all of that. Not just for your smoking, but for your overall health.

I imagine you eat a lot of processed garbage American food. Hell, combine that w/ no exercise and smoking... might as well put your heart in a blender.

Hang in there Patt, stay strong.

i eat healthy (for the most part) and go to the gym 4-5 times a week.....i still love inhaling cigarettes more than air

French Tickler · 04-08-10, 03:07 PM

I quit smoking last summer, so almost a year without it.

First 3 days were horrible, once you hit the 4th day its all downhill!! And I quit cold turkey, no pussy ass nicoret patches or gum, be a man, grab your balls, and just do it!!!

Good luck

michalis · 04-09-10, 06:55 AM

been 3,5 years since i quit, it gets easier every day, at some point it will not appeal to you at all, it will be as if you never smoked before, just hang in there

MonkeyF0cker · 04-09-10, 07:04 AM

You may be like I was. I had headaches for 3 months because of a sinus infection after quitting. I actually had to go to the doctor and have a catscan done. They couldn't find anything. Then, about a week after I got the results, my sinuses drained one day and my headaches went away. They were so congested I could hear and feel them drain from my temple all the way down to my nasal passage. Once they drained, it was the best feeling in the world. Try using some sort of allergy decongestant and see if that helps at all.

hugh_morris · 04-09-10, 07:29 AM

i used to dip copenhagen..it was pretty hard to stop, but had to after it started to put a hole in my gum..been off the nicotine for about 6 years, but everytime you walk into a store..its right in front of you...its always a struggle..smoke a little herb once in awhile, itll get you right back on track..G/L..

out...

TheLock · 04-09-10, 08:06 AM

Haven't taken a puff since late July.

I was miserable for months but now I don't feel like I'm going to go into cardiac arrest when I run in the morning.

Best thing I did in all of 2009 was stop smoking

jjgold · 04-09-10, 08:11 AM

If your real strong willed you can do it

Patty your not so light up a fukkin Cig

urge2kill · 04-09-10, 11:35 AM

I quit 4 or 5 years ago and haven't had a cigarette since. I still have cravings on occasion.

exstatman · 04-09-10, 11:43 AM

Quit dipping 2.5 years ago, and am really pissed the price now is much less than when I was using!

pat venditto · 04-09-10, 11:55 AM

I didn't smoke I dipped. Never got into smoking. Fuking hillbillies hustled me into trying dip. Going on about 15-20 days right now clean.

hugh_morris · 04-09-10, 01:53 PM

these general stores dont make it easy on ya'...the dip rack is right by the register..those tins are just screamin' at ya' to buy it..just have to be strong willed..what made you stop...was it making a hole in your gum?....anyways G/L...Its been 6 years for me...

out..

pat venditto · 04-09-10, 02:05 PM

No holes in my gums. Just not a good habit to have.

geebert74 · 04-09-10, 02:11 PM

It's been 2 months for me...

badnews111 · 04-09-10, 02:29 PM

mr. leisure · 04-09-10, 02:34 PM

Good stuff Driller, I've been dippin Cope for about 13 years now, tried to quit on a few occasions but couldn't do it and have now accepted the fact I will always dip until the day I die. I'm a tin per day dipper by the way. As for what Driller said, I have noticed when I'm in training and shit, running, lifting, and eating healthy, that I will dip less frequently that if I was on my regular routine of doing **** all as far as exercising and eating burgers and pizza weekly. Its not quitting but I go probably from a tin a day not working out to a tin every 2 days when I am working out, adds up over the long haul and at least gives me a little extra time on Earth and a few extra dollars in my pocket. Don't know the reasoning but have to agree with Driller here, working out cuts down the cravings IMO.

working out doesnt change the fact i love to smoke, not 1 bit...sure when im running and about to fall over dead from lack of oxygen, the thought crosses my mind that maybe i should quit, then i get done and light up right away

B1GER1C828 · 04-09-10, 04:21 PM

You dip pretty much any time you are not eating or having sex, sounds familiar, can't wait until my lip falls off

The General · 04-11-10, 06:52 PM

I have abstained from smoking several times in the past for days never having any ill effects like withdrawal symptoms. Last time I ceased for any length was a month ago for 5 straight days. I am hoping to abstain from smoking for the remainder of my life beginning April 12th, 2010. Wish me luck.

Jock Ross · 04-11-10, 06:57 PM

Started smoking at a late age (27)... smoked on and off at first then up to pack a day in my 30's... Went to the hospital and was told my dad would be dead in hours. Stopped cold turkey that day and had no withdrawal symptoms at all. Then met my wife and started again and can't stop. It's brutal. I'm told the nicotine crave impulses the brain at a higher rate than Heroin. Good Luck. I'm trying to stop myself.

Chi_archie · 04-11-10, 06:58 PM

you can do it patty.... start a group with patemanbatrick..... he just quit smoking too I think
