Originally by: keepiru One thing to be careful of is not to replace an addiction for another - Ive found your body will try to latch on to anything, games, tv.. cake :D
Its happened to me a few times when quitting.. uh.. stuff worse than cigarettes :)
So far, chocolate cookies, and gum are the only things i replaced for cigarrets ...are they FoF (Friend or Foe for the newbies)? :D

good luck on your endeavor. Nice to see someone giving up the vice. Lost a brother to smoking, a sister to drinking. Think about the people who lose themselves over stupid life-shortening (or in this case, -ending) vices.
Once again, good luck -

I just decided to switch my cigarette addiction out for a nicotine gum addiction if I can find enough nicotine gum cheap enough.
Healthy (well, healthier), easy, delicious.

I just came across this thread... best of luck in continuing your endeavor, BB!
I've been smoking since '92 and I really need to finally quit. I've tried on a few occassions over the years but it has been hell.
Glad you're making it well so far... I hope I can have the same strength.

Glad you're doing so well - stick with it.
For anyone trying to get up the courage to quit let me tell you; I smoked 30-40 a day for 13 years and it took me 2 weeks to give up.
The first day I got up and threw all of my smoking paraphenalia away, ashtrays, lights, ciggies, tobacco, rizla - everything. Then I had nothing to tempt me.
I often found that if I didn't have a Ciggie first thing in the morning, then I could go for a while, so on that day I managed to about 2pm before I felt like hurting someone. And heres the thing that worked for me.
I had a Nicotene lozenge, one of the 16mg ones. As soon as I'd finished it, I felt the whole urge,pain and anguish of not smoking go away.
I had two more that day, and for the following days I had 3 or 4. then I cut it down to two then one a day. By the end of the fortnight, I didn't need the lozenges anymore and I hadn't gone through the horrible pangs that I thought I would.
After that it wasn't long before I didn't worry about going into pubs or being with smokers! I tell you what, nothing smells worse to an ex-smoker then the smell of cigarettes, you don't realise how much you stink of it 
I've never felt better and I've got more money then I ever had 
Seriously, I don't consider myself to be the strongest willpowered person in the world, I think I lasted being a Vegetarian for a month!

I have those patchs at home, but I'm a very strong-willed person, and I intend to quit smoking using that, like I do in very other subjects i put my mind too. Thk u for the bump :) and i have started to notice other ppl smells (shampoos, conditioners, perfums, whatever.. even the smell of people) ... and its quite pleasing to do so again :D ... though as u said, tabaco smells like crap for me, and i can hardly breath when some one is smoking right next to me :S

Congrats BB. I had decided to quit this year before it started and now that I have read the posts I feel more charged and confident.
I wanted to also thank all the folks here who have posted their experiences with smoking and/or quitting. The one that I found the most helpful was Capsicum's. I have nearly the same results from prevoius attempts at quitting.
As long as I didnt start my day with one, I was good for a while but very dangerous later in the day. So I will have to try lozenges. I know that I wont do it with willpower alone but as long as it gets done is all that matters.
Best of luck to all whom this thread inspires.

Remember the basics and you'll be fine.
Hey now...I didn't say what those activities would be. For all you know they could involve things like 'cleaning the dishes' or....or...umm...'taking out the trash'.
Or not. I'm not really going to disclose such information on the eve-forums. It probably doesn't involve a tin-foil hat though.
Thats the only hint you get. deal with it  YARRRR!!

Edited by: Coniglietta Magica on 18/05/2006 19:49:49 I have been off the foul things for 1 and 1/2 years... I still have the urge to smoke every once in a while. Usually when I am stressed out. I think that is the hardest part. Although I feel better then I have ever felt, I dont get sick any more I can run and swim and scuba...
I quit by finding a very strong woman (my wife now) and by replacing smoking with sex.. Thats right! Every craving for allmost 2 months!
You are past the really hard part now. Congratulations!
