Let's quit smoking! - (screaming internally)

[Mnutu]

I’m so fucking nauseous. Tried to kick the habit again, made it three days before smoking a whole pack yesterday and slamming 2 Red Bulls. Woke up vomiting. Kidney still screaming at me. It’s not worth it

 

[sorrycharlie]

My last puff of my gay ass Juul was last week, wish me luck /b/ros. I've been going for a quick jog every time the cravings get bad. Today I've run four miles, so far.

I recently quit drinking and a pretty nasty weed habit, too. Nicotine is much harder, but it already feels worth it. We'll see how the next few days go though, I've heard that's when it gets really tough.

I tried quitting a few years ago (might have even posted about it in this thread), made it 3 months before I gave in to the cravings like a retard.
I think it's the stupid little habits I've made for myself that really kick my ass. Morning coffee? Must smoke. Done with a meal? Must smoke. Stuck in traffic? Must smoke. Listening to music? Must smoke. Out drinking with friends? Welp, there goes the whole pack.

Tried to quit twice. I have more of an incentive to quit now because I'm trying to get fit so I can play baseball without being less than useless. Been working out often, eating a healthy amount of calories (honestly pretty tough for me, considering my past disregard for my physical health) but I'm struggling with the ciggies. Smoking the ciggies I've got left very slowly to sort of "taper" but honestly I don't have much faith that I won't just buy more when I run out.

Didn't have any nicotine for about 6 hours earlier today and I have never experienced a more wild roller coaster of emotions. I was OK for a while, then I got angry at everything and got massive brainfog so I couldn't concentrate, then I got tired, then I got sad, then I got angry again, then I went and bought more vapes. I can't tell you how many times I called my computer a niggerfaggot cuntfucker in that short period of time. I'm gonna give a quit another good shake.
I'm gonna do 3 things:
1. Pick a day to start and look forward to it
2. Keep busy with personal projects
3. Walk outside or nap whenever I get bored/tired

The simple plans are the best plans but I actually have to try this time instead of pussyfoot around. Wish me luck.

If you can make it past day 3 you're golden since it'll just get easier from there and you have that to look forward to.

Otherwise, yeah, the weird combination of being incredibly tired but also feeling the need to climb the walls and fight God is some shit. I hate nicotine withdrawal.

Update: I'm on day 5 no nic right now. Keeping busy by reading documentation for various radio frequency communications methods. Laughing at Lossmanjack lose all his money and choke out wet coughs. That dude reminds me why I'm doing this.
The tiredness has come and gone, but the irritability is the most prevalent symptom as of late. I need to remind myself not to get pissed at every little thing, but I hear it gets better after a week or so. Currently just trying to STFU at work and in my personal life while keeping my head down until I'm less of a pissy little bitch. Also I get lightheaded/foggy sometimes but if I just start doing something else it goes away pretty quickly.

Had a dream last night that I was smoking. Woke up in a panic because I thought I caved. But it was OK. Just a dream...

Daily workouts are keeping me sane. I look forward to them every day. Sometimes I go for a walk in the evening for some more physical exertion, but strenuous exercise is amazing for coping with withdrawals. IDK what I'd do without my pull-up bar + the local park.

If I can get to a month I'll consider that a massive milestone but right now we're goin' strong.

I've been too gay to post here for a while. I keep fucking up around the 4 month mark, just when my sense of smell comes back and other smokers are starting to repulse me. Last time I was stuck in a hospital, and my room mate asked me to wheel him outside to smoke, and here I am 6 months later mouth breathing at night again.

Switching to vapes, then gradually lowering the nicotine content to 0, then quitting altogether has worked for me before. So did alternating other replacements (patch, gum, snus) and then just getting sick of it after a month. As many have stated, being busy and living healthy are the most effective tools.

No more excuses. The perfect storm, I don't care, I'll be the guy that has all the reasons to go back and still doesn't. I'm on snus again while dealing with some shit the next couple of weeks, but no more smoke from now. WAGMI

If you just got pinged let me know how it's going.

 

[gongwonkyeye]

have just quit, and it was easy. two months in, for me, and yeah, am still getting the odd little... ooh, wouldn't a cig be nice typa craving, but nothing that will see me do time for fags. it's been way easier than I feel it should've been. My top tip: valerian: but... cut down first. then, get rid of the 'habit cigs'. the one after dinner, the one before work, etc. then, a week of valerian, and boom: no more smokes. I'm waiting now for the ciggy-demon to bite my ass and force me to smoke, but so far, so good.

 

[Diapershit]

I just went like 2 and a half weeks without, and was feeling alright craving wise. Then, retardedly, I have a friend who smokes over and blew it all by buying us both some.

 

[Battery Low]

I'm on day 3-4 after going the reducing nrt route. I have quitter's flu, insomnia and a burning lack of patience for everything and anything.

It's such bullshit.

Keeping on going because I'll be fucked if I'm going to go through all this again.

It's crazy how bad of a choice this was, now I'm back in the craving zone but smoking is also making me sick to my stomach.

 

[hawkisnight]

Someone mentioned it in this thread but there's a book called "Easy way to quit smoking" which really helped me.

 

[CowPox]

Has anyone told you how bad you smell today?

 

[Mellisuga Helenae]

I miss you and think about you everyday, baby... But we just can't be together anymore. You were killing me faster than the fat BPD Mexicanas I used to pork. I could quit them with ease, but you will always haunt my psyche. I yearn for you everyday after a big meal or an orgasm.

I still love you. Everyday without you has been a war. We'll never be together again, but my heart still beats for you and you alone.

 

[Banana Cat]

Probably going to be super unpopular here but I smoked for 11 years a pack a day, I started vaping haven't had a smoke in months, don't feel like one even when I drink. I've tried multiple times in the past, cold turkey, patches and medication and could never make it stick but I've finally done it bros.

Officially been smoke and vape free since may of this year giving it up cold turkey

 

[Nique la mere de Macron]

I still have a nicotine free vape but finally kicked smoking, this time very easily, by quittng drinking. Fingers crossed!

 

[4EB]

I'm once again gonna try to quit for the umpteenth time. I smoke un-filtered Camels, and Lucky Strikes. My biggest issue is my coworkers I supervise. Biggest bunch of retards I've ever had the misfortune of working with with only one being the exception. I don't even smoke at home just at work, and while I drive. Wish me luck.

 

[Battery Low]

Made it past the 2 month mark. I'd be lying if I said that I no longer crave it. I think about it every day. However it's way easier than it was at the start. Not wanting to suffer like I was at first, with lack of concentration and irritability is a large part of sticking with it. That and not wanting to be spending like I was on it.

I'm proud to have gotten this far, but fuck me, I'd like to have a day without wanting to go back and have it again. Trying to remember all the reasons I wanted off it in the first place.

 

[Watchfuleye275]

I'm throwing my vape in the trash right now, I've been smoking on and off for the past year and I won't have too bad withdrawals this time quitting as I've only been smoking for about 2 weeks consistently. Here goes.
