Smoking?

[roho]

Feel free to update, especially if it helps. This forum is getting me closer to finally doing something about my decades old habit as well. Made a point to only bring a small number of smokes with me and keeping notes today.

Good luck! If you end up with a strong urge to light up that won't go away, just picture taking your tongue and licking a stinking ashtray full of disgusting cigarette butts, be aware of how awful it would taste, and then picture yourself actually vomiting from it. You can program your own mind. Or, just convince yourself that you're going to have a f&#king heart attack and die if you smoke one more coffin nail. That works too. I still havent smoked since the first week of June, and I decreased the level of nicotine in my vape 2 weeks ago. Things are going well, it's all doo-able.

Hey go ahead and update as much as you want. part of quitting is support and we are gonna be here to encourage and help you along. Those of us that have quit know just how rough it can be and know how much having someone wishing you well and pulling for you means to the relieve the lonely time when there is that "well it will be just one to get over the urge to have one to tide me over for a day or so." You just take whatever time and update as often as you want we will be there to cheer you on and give you a virtual high five way to go congratulation post.

When you were 5 years old did you drink or smoke.

Just stop wasting money and time that has ZERO benfits

You have to really want to do it. I came to a point that it was not enjoyable for me any more and I quit cold turkey. Once you do you have to fill that time with something (pick up a hobby ,do the projects you been meaning to do) . You have to keep your mind occupied with something other than thinking about smoking. I would have to say I became more productive once I stopped. I also had a dart league that was in a bar that was a smoking inside bar and that also helped me beat it because I became use to being around it and turned me off even more because you really stink being in a place like that when you get home. Now I am not saying it was easy but its now been 8 years and I have no urges anymore or any will to smoke again. Good luck with this. Hope you are able to kick it.

I stopped years ago. Didn't use any patches or gum but did use a lot of tooth picks and or plastic drink stirrers. Seemed to help a lot with keeping my hands & mouth busy. Putting them in my mouth & messing with them with my smoking hand. Plus if i got a bad urge to smoke being in a certain environment I would leave the place right away.
And 1 more thing i started trying to quit when I had a bad cold, I think the first few days were a little easier because of the coughing and hacking and throat already hurting. You really have to want to quit. And be prepared to really fight the urges.

My father was a lifelong smoker (He said he started at about five years old). He claimed quitting was EASY! He quit MANY times over the years.

I got worried too about customers thinking I stunk. So what helped me quit was taking a new focus on my appearance. Nice clothes, better haircut and getting some nice cologne. Now, I interact with them more confidently and don't have to stay a few steps away.

Hello! I am happy that more and more people are becoming non-smokers! And yes, I agree with you, that much better to focus on our appearance than smoke and not care about ourselves. I wanted to look fresher and fell in love with taper fade haircuts, here https://glaminati.com/taper-fade-haircuts-women I got ideas of this style. Of course, I started to do makeup and bought new trendy clothes. Now I even forget about the time when I did not care about my health and beauty.

The spam is getting out of hand. We need a cleaner.
