I've quit smoking!!

[Ecthe|ioN]

I suddenly found out, after sucking on the cancer stick for 4 years, that this was my final cigarette. Been clean for 9 hours ATM. I thought I'd just tell you all, since I'm a bit proud

 

[Rupertvdb]

I quit by accident about 2 weeks ago, i was too poor to buy fags, from then on every time i have had a craving i forgot it when i did something else, quitting smoking was piss easy.

I wasn't that bad though about 4 packs a week for a year.

Well done, although i am a bit disappointed you started in the first place

 

[Bio]

My grandfather has a lounge capasaty of about 35%, all because of the smoke, but backin the old days they didnt know that it was a real danger.

Sorry spelling.

Yeah. I know. I had a deal with my parents that I wouldn't smoke or drink until I reached the age of 18. I earned $1500 for that. They didn't expect me to start smoking the day I turned 18 though. I know it was stupid, but after saying no to party's for several years I just had to try SOMETHING. I will never taste another cigarette again. I will probably have to stay away from beer for a few weeks as well. I can't drink beer without a smoke.
Maybe vodka is the new thing for me ... I know Vodka = Bad headache ..

Thank you for caring people Didn't expect any answers at all.

EDIT: I feel the craving coming over me, so it's time to take a walk. I need to get my mind on something else .. I'm gonna do this. I will reward myself with a DVD-Recorder

 

[DoctorGordon]

Ahh self-control...good, good

We'll see if you can resist it though

 

[Rupertvdb]

pfff... screw it go smoke, that's what i'm gonna do.... Sigh

 

[Varg|Hund]

Yes Ecthe|ioN, vodka is good. You wont regret trying it

Anyways, good job! Never smoked myself, tried a few times, didn't like it =/

 

[ZeeM]

smoking sucks!

 

[hasan]

good luck budd.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

A walk in fresh air helped me out. I just get a craving every now and then. I won't give up this time.

 

[outpost]

Just remeber kids. WWGD! What Would Gordan Do?

 

[FoB_Ed]

Yeah, its best when you feel the craving to put your energy and fury into something else, like a punching bag

 

[kiwii]

good for you! i stopped smoking 4 years ago... but i started to use snus (swedish tobacco that you put under your lip) instead. dont know withch ones worse

Ugh, that's so nasty. I don't 'understand how anyone could do that shit

 

[Varg|Hund]

Actually, some girls find snus sexy :O

Hehe, I've done both the last 4 years .. I'm from norway myself, and especially after the government decided "NO SMOKING IN RESTAURANTS AND DISCOS AND BARS AND EVERYWHERE EXCEPT OUTSIDE, BESIDES SOME ARENAS", I always used snus when I was out. General (C) Snus. Now I won't have to worry about anything. Good for me that it's forbidden to smoke "on the town" or whatever you guys call it Easier to keep clean next time I feel like getting a little dizzy on that bar-stool.

 

[j__]

when i stopped smoking cigs i went from about 7-8 cigs + about 6 jays a day to 10+ jays lol

cut that down by a few now though

 

[Bio]

Never used any of them, and i cant say im sorry for that.

Btw im from norway too.

 

[Vegeta897]

You all already know my opinion on all this.. -_-

Well good job anyway...

And who cares if you get girls with this "snuff" crap. If you have to resort to that you don't deserve girls.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

Nice. En snusfornuftig type

Strange people norwegians.. Situated in such a small country, but still they pop up here and there.. Good to have another fellow norwegian on the forums.

*** Been clean for 11 hours ***

 

[craig]

Well done! I'm at 1 year and 1 day today, and if I can do it anyone can

 

[Gunner]

good for you! i stopped smoking 4 years ago... but i started to use snus (swedish tobacco that you put under your lip) instead. dont know withch ones worse

I bet you used the "girly man's" snus with the pouch bag, hehe just kidding

From what I know, snus does have its' own set of health risks, can cause gum disease and damage to the teeth. And of course the nicotin can cause heart disease and a myriad of other complications.

Most people I know who take Snus think it's perfectly risk free (including my uncle) when in fact it's just as bad as smoking.

Anyway congratz to Ecthe|ioN who quit smoking!

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

Going clean for the 25th hour now .. It's getting easier .. Now I actually think about something else than smoking every 5 seconds. Sigh ...

 

[JunkieXL]

I've been clean for 47 hours now

agreed. its like you're putting a shopping centre in your mouth, and the girls will follow you like flies to ****. talk about desperate measures.

anyway, why the hell do people smole anyway??? its cancer in a stick ffs. 'your funeral' i say...

 

[Aceallways]

perhaps it would be easier not to think about smoking if you didn't post about it 'current quiters'.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

It feels good to talk about the process. People that I know, that used to smoke, gave me the advice. Count the hours, and tell people how you're doing. It helps keep the motivation when you realise that you're keeping clean hour after hour. I just had dinner, and the craving was back when I finised eating. I just took a 15minute walk, and the hardest craving was gone.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

I've been clean for 47 hours now

Nice. You know it's the first 72 hours that are the worst? good luck mate. You can do it. Yay for us.

 

[Deadline]

congrats

 

[Korgoth]

really really wish i had the will power to quit before its to late...
Good luck guys, i know how tough it is, but fight the good fight damn you! This thread is actually making me muster the courage to try and quit myself.

pureball do u entertain some kind of eternal life fantasy?

hey congrats, hope you manage to quit for good. I keep meaning to but meh stress n stuff

 

[Hazar]

Good job. Keep it up.

 

[iamaelephant]

I gave up couple of months ago, haven't felt better. Still have the odd tar bar when I'm on the piss, but otherwise nothing.

 

[Rupertvdb]

bah, smoking gets such a hard rap, stick it out i say, it can actually be quite nice.

 

[craig]

Actually the first 3 weeks is the worst. After 72 hours your body is clean of nicotine thats all.

 

[Inanimate]

Im trying to stop snusa.. snus is a swedish creation.. tobacco thingy that you put under your upper lip... it´s healthier than cigarettes, and more manly..

If it was a Swede creation why was it being used in England hundreds of years and, and as now pretty much died out?

Agreed!
