Day 2. No easier than Day 1. Anyone have a pistol handy?
Keep on going - suddenly one evening you'll think to yourself, holy shit I did not think about smoking at all today…...
I cannot wait! The maintenance guys were up in my office today trying to get me to smoke their crazy Russian Cigs. I held strong. Just trying to think of the money saved and the fact that I actually might be able to run soon..
Hi Lando and PJ yeah hold strong. I smoked for 17 years and stopped from one day to the other on a New Years day, my daily average was 1 package (sometimes more towards 2). I was pretty f**** up for some months but I have never regretted at all that I quitted. Now after some clean years I still have this kind of addiction behaviour but can control it without problem and without smoking. So good luck, keep strong

We quit the same day, L. How are the headaches and sudden drop in energy treating you? haha. Fack.
Great! We can use each other as a support system. Yes the Headache the first two days was INSANE! Day 3 is not as bad, yet. We shall see how I do over the weekend. I can't even believe I am doing this. No excessive flem yet, but I am sure it is on the way. And oddly enough, I have not been more hungry. Was worried but it has not seemed 5to be a problem thus far.

Thanks davito! My plan is to substitute the cig addiction with Water. Well, that and the ecigs for the moment. Cheers

It has really struck me how many more people smoke over here in Europe than back home in Australia. The last week or two I've been in Paris and northern Italy, and it seems like everyone smokes! Even at a medical conference plenty of the doctors were heading out for smokes between lectures, which I found amazing.
Good luck to any 'quitters' out there! -
Got a wedding come'n, I can't wait to step out with the boys and disrobe a Romeo y Julieta with the help of this little guy..
I quit tailors about three years ago.. This will be my first pure 100% tobacco smoke since then.. -
@LandoCal126
man i feel your pain i just quit smoking cold turkey and it has been 6 days now.i am loosing my damn mind but it seems to be getting a little easier.been a heavy smoker for about 12 years now and boy it sure is hard to quit.
the worst is waking up fighting the urge to have a cigarette with your morning coffee.
the good thing is my nose isn`t constantly clogged and i sleep way better!
have you tried nicotine patches? -
have you tried nicotine patches?
When I was 16. Fell off in the middle of class (High School). Headed straight to the corner store at lunch and bought a pack.
In other news, I am fully back smoking. Shitty. Still determined to quit, just not sure when it will happen.

Oh no Lando, sorry to hear: it happened to me as well about three times until I quitted but then I quitted for real and since then no more nicotine/tabac. you have somehow to be ready to quit, your health and body will show you when it is time. The sooner you quit the better for your body. Mine showed it to me pretty hard, so I was kinda forced to quit. It was a transition period of about half a year until I stopped finally.
But as others stated: it is really worth it, if you want it. take care man -

damn sorry to hear that man!
smoke that pack(if you havent already) and try again. and try those nicotine patches again but this put some extra gorilla tape over it so it doesnt fall off;) -
I've been "stopped" for over three years now, and I've gone from 20 - 40 cigs per day down to 5 cigs per year. I read the Alan Carr book (Easy Way To Stop Smoking) and found it really, really good.
I just want to add, that I had my years allowance of cigs when drunk last Saturday night, but did not feel a single urge to pick one up the day after, I'm a none smoker who still genuinely enjoys smoking, but I can now take it or leave it. It took me quite a while to reach this point.
Just learnt to deal with it.
