I quited many times, that's so the easy part that I so enjoyed every single one of them, the best being when you relight a cigarette and smoke again.
Only, there is a difference today, I know why I wanna quite.
That, alone, could make it: Two kids. And not only that.
Allright, I'd remember that...
Yeap, today, I want out.

No, you tried to quit many times.

Quitting means to stop.  Permanently.

What it does not mean is - stop for a little while, then start back up again.

After the physical addiction resides, the psychological addiction remains. 

Forever.

Only by resisting it when it comes around to tempt you, can you stay cig free.

Luckily for me, quitting damn near killed me, it was so bad and hard.  Every time I feel the urge to smoke a cig, I think on those withdrawl days...and get as far as possible from cigs.

That's funny, I thought of you, and all we've been talking about here, right in the streets of Paris when I was dreaming walking them with a cigarette, like I used to do.
That made the "resistance" quite easier, lighter, funnier almost.
You're my only external patch.
'works great.
I can see the good side of it already. First I feel like 10 years younger.
Just a bit heavier maybe.

I think we can all agree, Quitting is the hardest thing you will ever do. Even Web said it almost killed him. I'll say it again, Chantix is the way to go. You take the pill, and you keep smoking. You take the pill every day for 4-6 weeks, and you smoke the entire time, like normal. Sometime between 4 and 6 weeks, you will stop smoking, it will be when you decide your done. You will feel your done, and yes it will still have a bit of the anxiety, " the I need a smoke now or else feeling" but it won't be quite as bad as before. You'll be able to get the upper hand on it, for me, I popped a jolly rancher. A couple of months later, without smoking, that feeling lessens, the urges still come, but they are shorter and not as intense. After a Year, they are pretty much gone. Now if I could only give up the Jolly Ranchers, the truly nastiest habit ever.

I love jolly ranchers...

Man, wish I could get them here in Germany!

[jmlzemaggo]

Jolly ranchers? You mean the candies?

Why not buy them over the internet? They are now availiable in the UK. You might be able to order from UK to Germany, certainly it's not such a great distance


Merry Christmas everyone

'Quitting' was always too negative for it to work for me. One day, I made it a self-discipline thing and just stopped. I carried a fresh pack of smokes with me everyday in my shirt pocket for a year. Kept a fresh pack in the freezer for years afterward (all in the even the end of the world would be declared - I could light one in a jiffy).

However works for you - you can do it.

Be well. Game on.

*** @ ehye_khandee
Hummm, just wandering, would you happen to still have that pack somewhere by any chance?
I suppose you don't really need the extra 19 smokes, do you?
Oups, 'almost forgot: which brand? ***

Yeap, self-discipline seems to be the only way out for me too. I'm now having that strange feeling what I want being only what I think I want, or what I wanted once.
Like I could please myself to believe I would enjoy smoking again, only today deep inside...... I kind of know I wouldn't even like it so much. Liking resisting much more... which isn't even truly resisting anymore. Today, it's more like just not doing it.
And that's new.
(I'm not trying to convince myself, only kind of digging daily reporting.)
Welcome to my new addiction...  

Happy Holydays, NWNers!

Hang in there friend!

Lol, I'd help you out but a RL friend, late one night, ran out of smokes and asked if he could 'borrow that pack' I said OK and never replaced it. Ages ago. Just hang in there.

Hmmm...need to check that internet thing!

Thanks, oh truly tremendous one!

Merry X-Mas, everyone!!!!

I think if you can trick yourself psychologically, which isn't really all that hard, if you consider advetisements and how they do it, into associating cigarettes with negative things it helps. The nastiness of it for one, if you are a fastidious person, the smell, and other bad things. Which is why, I suppose they want to put awful pictures on packs of smokes. The flip-side is how much better you feel after just stopping for a few weeks. I gradually cut back until one day I went cold turkey. So Happy Christmas, and New Years!

Thanks for posting the information back there on the first page. I had recently found my password not working, and had tried the password reset and a webmail form contact to the admin, with no response, but once I saw here that those forms weren't functional, I emailed the admin with the address you gave here, and it was all straightened out the same day. Thank you!
