bobbywithani 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I quit smoking cold turkey. It's been 25 hours since my last smoke and I've been losing my mind. I've eaten 6 full meals today, although I'm not too concerned about gaining weight because I'm like 6 foot 120 pounds so I can afford to gain some. I've gone through three packs of gum and chewed through about 5 straws. Hopefully I'll make it through. Link to post Share on other sites

beans-n-icewater 18 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I tried the patch once...It was ok but it was hard to roll a tight smoke with itThe Prince Albert wouldnt stay in and I couldnt get it to stick together with spit so I used a rubber band in the middle...Had to smoke it from both ends due to the band melting/stinkingAlthough the nicotine rush was good, expense and aggravation doomed the experiment Link to post Share on other sites

beans-n-icewater 18 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Patches worked wonders for me.After further investigation, I've learned that the patches have a peel-off area that contains a sticky substance allowing easier rolling...I might just have to try smoking another onegeez...Iz iz drunks tonite Link to post Share on other sites

It was sheer hell. I was an intolerable biatch, and I can't believe Dave stuck around for that shite. The first couple years were pretty tough, but hang in there.My friend Missy did Zyban and had good results. She was less mean and suffered less. Link to post Share on other sites

ricker 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 just switch it to other things you can smoke...better high, less addictive more filling... Link to post Share on other sites
DMBroller 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 My significant other is on my a.ss about not smoking anymore. I tried for a day and then lost my motivation when she lit one every 1/2 hour. I don't know if she was pushing my limits or what. I would say that having some good support around would be extremely helpful. Not that she's horrible or anything, but smoking incessantly around someone who just dropped it cold is a little shady if you ask me. GL with it man! Link to post Share on other sites
1sickpuppyx 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Great job getting through day 1!There are a lot of good resources available on the internet that can help. Also talk to your doctor or pharmacist - there are some good products available that significantly increase your success rate.Two tips I find very useful:-identify patterns or things that trigger a craving and change them in some way (such as sitting in a different chair, doing things in a different order - anything to break the normal trigger routine)-put all the money you would have spent on cigarettes aside and reward yourself - could be each day to start, then a week, then a month - it's amazing how much money you'll haveGood luck! PM me if I can help with more info - I have some experience in this area.Puppy Link to post Share on other sites
