I've been reading up on it and, apparently, it is bad for you?

Just chained smoked the last couple of cigs in my pack to get rid of these evil things...

[MendozaLine]

Good luck. Are you going cold turkey or are you gonna ease into it with gum, patches, or an e cig?

Im sure you have tried to quit before and know how tough the first few days are. Proud to say that I haven't smoked once in the last 5 months

[Bo$$ Bet$]

GL I tried 100 times before I finally got sick of it and went cold turkey and am now 3-4 months w/o a smoke

I tried all of the above and wasn't a big fan so doing the cold turkey method... Only times I had any success was when it forced on me (joining the military so probably not a viable option) and after reading Allen Carr's book...

I have his book on audiotape so I think I might relisten to it tonight while I do some other work...

[hawley]

GL bro. Cant say I have ever smoked so have no idea how hard it would be to give up but stick at it.

[bigboydan]

This in the one vice I just couldn't break the habit of gentlemen. I stop drinking, lost all the weight but never could quit smoking unfortunately. Maybe the coach can give me some advice on this subject via a video?

Once a smoker, always a smoker..

You should try reading this book.

Easy way to stop smoking - Allen Carr

I smoked 1 1/2 - 2 packs a day for 16 yrs and this book helped me quit.

[SportsMushroom]

quit smoking 5 years ago

all I can say is tough it out, its hard at first but every day that goes it becomes easier, and at some point it would be like you have never smoked, I get no cravings any more, I actually wonder now why in the hell I started that disgusting habit

[Glitch]

just recently quit quitting after being off them for 3 months or so. have also quit for 7 months, 2 months, 5 weeks, 12 days...but its hard to not drift back.

guess ill try again soon. not making excuses but gambling and drinking does not help at all.

I did read that book but didnt help me at all

[Glitch]

also- not sure if someone said it yet but the first 3-4 days is pretty f*cked up then once it gets out of your system, its about 8 times easier after you pass that threshold.

Nicotine is good. Go buy some cigs

[MC PICKS]

Smoked for 17 years and quit 7 and a half months ago cold turkey, did the patches for like 5 weeks and then just stopped wearing them, had cravings once or twice a day for a few weeks after stopping the patches and now get a small craving once a month if even that frequent, wife still smokes in front of me and everything too, it doesnt bother me. Good luck bud.

Good Luck Herbie, i stopped smoking for a while, but i always light up when im having a drink or on vacation, CR was no exception, but im off em again and im sticking to it, good luck again pal

[chilidog]

Me too, man. Herbie's chain-smoking got the best of me, hah. No problems since the bash though.

[jjgold]

I wonder if spot smoking is possible?

[Skidcom]

Good luck Herbie. Been there. quit three years ago after 22 years of 1-3 packs a day. I still use the commits (3-4 a day, nice crutch when out with the drinking/smoking/golfing buddies)and even though I relapsed in Costa Rica (when in Rome I suppose) I didn't take up the habit again. You can do it and you'll feel a 1000% better every day. I can breathe again, I don't cough every 5 minutes and climb stairs without stopping and I am way more active and I didn't gain much weight. It is hard as hell though I offer you a world of support. It is definitely worth doing.

[ronibrown]

What about artificial smokes?

[rkelly110]

I used the patches. Buy the name brand. Generic don't work.

Get rid of everything smoking related. Ashtrays, butts, etc.

Put the patch on in the morning, not before bed. Very vivid bad dreams.
Even with the patch, you will be irritable. I used St. John's Wort (herb) to get rid of irritability.
Use the patch as directed and to the end. Wal-mart has the best prices.

My Aunt quit with the lozenge, but is now addicted to that. So it's best not to get the nicotine
from the mouth.

Worked for me. GL

[babyjesus]

that ish is just gross

[FuzzyDunlop]

Switch to the 72s or American Spirits to ween yourself off.

[MEATHEAD]

Try chewing skoal, it will help. It also contains vitamin c and other important healthy additives.

[notsosharp]

Cold turkey is the way to go. Becareful gambling when you first quit. It will be will easy to tilt because you can't smoke.

[Hoja Verdes]

I'm not a weirdo, but I'm seriously considering trying hypnotherapy.

[Louisvillekid1]

the hardest part is being out drinking and not having a smoke, i barely smoke when im not drinking but a night out drinking ill easily smoke 10+ cigs....

[zert]

Good for you. Hope you can do it.

[jose21_us]

GL man. Cuz in CR you guys smoked so much it made me want to start lol...
