I'm trying to stop atm...
Also I can get free Nicorette lonzenges for those of you in the USA if anyone's interested just PM me...
I got into smoking while I was in boarding school at around 13/14 and I really regret it... I smell, I'm always broke despite how much I earn at 17...
but on the other hand there's the time where I feel like I'm glad I smoke...
What about you guys...
Hey Mate,
I was a smoker for 6 years... first 3 years 5-7 cigs per day (in college)..next 3 years 1-3 cigs per day...I had never been more than 3 days( continuously) without smoking! .... You can say i was not a chain or heavy smoker...But i tried & failed many many times to quit!
Finally on June 24th 2012 I decided to quit smoking forever...and I Did! 12 days without smoking at all! Now i don't have the crutch or urge to smoke! No more slavery!
I had heard that many heavy smokers from hollywood and various celebrities used a system called "The Easy way to Stop smoking by Allen carr"..
including ashton kutcher, Richard branson etc... so i naturally downloaded the book and tried to read But i couldn't complete it due to work, fear of missing smoking, laziness etc... So postponed infinite times..
So i understood reading a 100 page book is not going to work...Luckily i found a video based on the book by the same name...which i downloaded using torrents... So i watched the video and read some parts, which i needed to understand better...
Now my perception of smoking is completely changed...I'm 100% sure that I'd never smoke again..I'm not feeling the urge though my friends are smoking around me...
Smokers smoke due to two reasons
1. Due to a drug called Nicotine, which is the most addictive Drug known to Humans
2. Every smoker forms many misconceptions,illusions about smoking. like I enjoy smoking right after a Full Meal, I enjoy the taste of cigs with coffee etc.
So basically in order to quit ... you need to flush the nicotine out of your body and Destroy all the misconceptions you have formed over the years!
My advice:
Read the Book "The Easy way to stop smoking by allen carr"...And don't postpone reading the book! The author actually encourages you to keep smoking which reading the book!
I'm in NO Way Associated to that book...I'm just a happy non-smoker and found this thread to share my 'Quit Smoking" experience!
