That sucks dizz, sorry to hear that... Keep it up.
JUST WAIT.......
I know quite enough of people that are complete non-smokers even if they did smoke like crazy for decades so I wouldn't agree with you. If someone says - never again and really means that, it's doable.
But if you quit and left a tiny option that you would do it again, than it's a problem. I did it 2 times, first time for year and a half, second time for one month but failed both times unfortunately.
Well, going to have to quit another way... This patch just isn't cutting it...
To quit smoking one needs a lot of determination. Being able to handle both the spirit and the flesh. The spirit is always willing to quit smoking but the flesh is always shouting and saying "I WANT MORE. GIVE ME JUST ONE MORE". In most cases, the spirit gives in to the yearning of the flesh.
Train the spirit to always have the upper hand. Read more books that teach how to quit smoking, associate more with people who do not smoke and always have positive thoughts that it is possible to really quit smoking. That is the only way to train the spirit to always win over the flesh. It is natural in every human for the flesh to always desire things which are always wrong and could lead to physical damage to the body. When you nurture the spirit in the right way, you will quit smoking easily.
I am trying to... Hard... Its requiring a lot of determination, and of course, as I am quitting, all kinds of other health problems are arising.... Go to the bottom for further explanation..
I am ex smoker so I have been there, but there is a very big reason too give up. It is REALLY hard - it is an addiction and it does not want to let you go, alot of the time it can be enjoyable and it appears to deprive stress. BUT it is killing you and no matter how hard it is to stop it will benefit you tO do so - think of it as a battle!
I know its hOrrible tohear and when I was a smoker I HaTED people dictating to me about stopping, but my girlfriend nagged me for about 6 months to stop - I hated her for going On, but she was the driving force that made me stop - and I'm so glad I did!!
To the battle comment: I just got blown the fuck up.... The side effects have reached a point of seriousness, that nobody could have foreseen... But I am going to do this a different way, just don't know what way I am going right now, I have so much I have to worry about besides just staying quit.... Cigarettes are going to be easy at this point. Amanda has nagged me for........... well....... 3 years or so..... Whatever, its working now.... And I know that you have to quit for yourself, not just because your gf nagged you to, because if you do it for someone else, its not going to work out. and thats true of all addictions.
I smoke like 10-15 cigarettes a day, for 3 years now. I quit last year during my 9-week school break, but on the first day of school i started again ^^
But tomorrow this year's 9-week school break starts and i will quit.
I won't use any patches or stuff...
I think you really need to want to quit, otherwise it won't work.
I will also do a lot of sports, go running etc. I think that will help a lot.
If I could do sports, i would... anything to make some of the stuff better...
I work at a smoke shop, and have been smoking for about 8 years. This old guy that used to come in here EVERYDAY came in one day and told me he quit after smoking for almost 40 years.
I've been wanting to quit really bad lately, so this was a shock to me and I asked him how he did it. He said he used pills called shantex, and they give him about a month supply for about 130$. That's less than what I spend a month on cigarettes, so I'm really thinking about doing that.
EDIT: It's called CHANTIX .
Chantix, is not for me.... No way jose... LOL.... too many medications I am already taking.
the shit! i've been smoking for the last 15 years gawd.. i know the risk but i'm struggling to quit. i'd really have to look at this seriously.. i now feel the side effect..
Just smoke and chill not more than 3/day.....
REALLY????? REALLY???? Are you going to make me talk to you like Roddy Piper? I'm sorry, but obviously you don't smoke, or if you do, you don't inhale... And if you do inhale, you obviously aren't old enough to have done something day in and day out for 25 years.... Its not just a cutting down thing....
You're obviously not a smoker. If you were, you'd know that just isn't possible.
4,665. That's how many cigs I would have smoked form February 19th until today had I kept smoking. And I LOVED smoking, even more than the average bear. You just need to make the choice and stick with it. It'll suck but you'll be thanking yourself down the road when the long term benefits are yours.
I tried cold turkey painkillers and cigarettes at the same time.
Not a great sight.
Yeah, my painkillers (I actually take them as prescribed), and quitting cigarettes aren't working out as planned...
I have had to stop using the patches, but I am struggling to keep myself from smoking... I have nearly bit Amanda's head off, she told me no, she wouldn't go get me another pack of cigs... I even told her she could get the cheap kind, but she refused.....
Since I am still having her type for me, I have had bad medical issues, and cant really sit up or type at the moment, it's not like I can just drive to the store to get them myself, so I'm just kinda stuck out, and that's how it feels... The patch along with my medicine seems to have caused bad sleeping issues, which caused lapsing of taking my medicine, which seems to have caused me to have seizures.... YIKES, right? That's just the short of it... The thing is, I'm very sick now, so I am going to go back and talk to the doctors and the quit smoking people and explain what has gone on, and see what they suggest.
Talk to y'all later,
Dizz
