nj,
I wish I saw your post Sunday. As a matter of fact I quit this weekend as well (Fri night was my last one). I'm on day 4 and I tell ya, Its not getting any easier. I've had really strong cravigs today but managed not to light up. The thing that helps me get through the cravings is knowing that they'll subside after 5-10 minutes.
I've tried to quit before but have never been as determined as I am now.
If anyone has any tips to help fight those craving I'd love to hear them.

Hang in ther nj, I hear it gets easier after a couple of weeks.

Just wanteed to add my support. I smoked for almost 20 yrs before quitting. (seems like several ex-smokers on this board). it's really hard but it is so worth it, and one of the smartest things you'll ever do. Best of luck.

nj, Az & twofingers...how goes the battle?
I'm on day 5 and feeling great. I'm eating more, but feeling better.
How are you guys doing? Knowing that we're all still smoke free will help us get through this a lot easier. Fletcher was right, there IS strenght in numbers.
hawk3675, I'm happy to hear that you've decided to join us...the more the merrier.
GL all.

way to go, guys!! just fight through that first week and it does get easier. this is day 51 for me and i still want to light up but won't even consider it. i have a buddy that can smoke when he drinks. i'm not even going to try that shit. just throw them away forever. forget it. gone. over. no more. that's how i'm doing it. good luck!!

 

[fletcher]

great job to everyone

as for breaking the snuff habbit just keep hard candy between your gum,it is the feeling that you miss,its an oral thing,and if you have'nt stoped yet spit the jucie in a mason jar put it outside each day when not in use with lid on ,then when you stop and get an weak moment take a drink of that hot nasty smelling spit and that will get you on the way of breaking the habbit.i promise you on that.

[Nick Douglas]

Good luck. I know you can do it. Just stay positive and have patience when it becomes tough for you. Know that we are all behind you.

thanks fletch, all started with playing baseball, but its gonna end with capping baseball!! I will definitely try that. I tried the non-tobacco stuff and it sucks. thanks

One week in the books!! Had a couple cravings this weekend but not too bad. Hows everyone else out there doin???

 

[Juice]

Today is day 10. I think I will continue to avoid the bar scene for a couple more weeks, until I feel comfortable that I will not have an overwhelming urge to light up when I have a drink.
The past 9 days have been pretty good for the most part (I did have a few real bad nic-fits, but I think the Nicorette really helped).
How about the rest of you guys, are you still with us?

day 56 as a non-smoker

i had a good week and it seems to be getting easier. maybe one or two strong urges a day and it's gone after a few minutes.

the highlight of the week was a party i attended on friday. there was drinking and lots of smokers there and i didn't light up. i had a severe urge to, but layed off. THAT was a test i passed with flying colors. i don't think i'll EVER go back if i can make it through that night.

my next BIG test will be superbowl weekend in vegas. if i make it through that it's a done deal forever.


keep up the good work guys!! this is serious chit.

Heres a trick that helped me look at the positive side

i took the average amount of money that i spent on smokes everyday. and put it in a jar. EVERYDAY!! cash.. At the end of the month i would buy my self a gift or something for the little lady. you wouldnt believe how full that god damn jar gets!!

good luck
