it's kind of the same for a compulsive eater, a cutter, all of those.

I initially read this as "The tendancy to eat is much harder to overcome than many under stand." and was going to point you at a source which "teaches" one to live off sunlight - Breatharianism. Cmon guys! Lets go photosynthesize for a bit! Anyway, it's the brutal work from a scam / jokester named Wiley Brooks, charging anywhere between $10,000 - 1,000,000,000 for his living off sunlight courses. http://www.breatharian.com/ |
just quit and don't make a big deal out of, tonnes of fat.lazy and semi-retarded morons have quit smoking, do you really want to fail at something than any old jackass can do?

I quit about 6 years ago, they still smell good. Oh, well. It took me about 4 years to really feel a LOT better, but I do now. I bike 8 miles a day and work out 3 or 4 days a week, run a mile and a half, lift some light weights and stretch. I gained almost 70 pounds, but I was real skinny back then, and have lost 40 of them, so now I'm 6'2" and 210, so not too bad. If I ever get really sick, like with terminal cancer or something, I think I'll go ahead and smoke again, but not otherwise. really, the best decision I ever made (except for not getting married to a couple of weird girls) |
In the process of quitting again myself tough days day 3 day 7 day 14 then
3 months. Atleast from past experience. Not a heavy smoker but I've got COPD so I really don't feel like carrying around an oxygen bottle in five years. So right now that's my memory trigger think of the oxygen bottle and the desire goes away...... |

see, if think this is going to fuck you up here, i mean if you went to the psych. and they told you that you had an imbalance that specifically relates to smoking, that's one thing,and they could help you with that. but just assuming you're unable to quit smoking on yr own is self sabotage and a total copout |

it's true, if nik wants wants to quit smoking so badly and he can't even do it, he's basically a pseud or something there's no insight needed,a fuck of alot of people stop smoking |
have you quit smoking?
|
Have you tried just weening off them slowly instead of cold turkey? Try cutting down to about 6 or 7 a day. Once your body gets used to it you can try having 1-3 a day. Then just simply stop. When you go two months without then have one again, do you zip back up to smoking 20-40? or do you have a few and it just snowballs back up?
I only have about 1-3 a day and can barely even stomach having more than 6 in one day. "Quitting smoking is easy! I've done it 12 times!" |
i'm not sure, i smoked really heavily until a month ago when i moved back here, i still smoke in theory but cigs are stupid expensive and there's no where to actually smoke.
so i guess when it comes down to it i still smoke but just don't actually do it, if you could send cigarettes through private message i would gladly accept a donation but you're a douche for bringing my personal life into this when millions of people smoke, i'm not really relevant considering how many people have smoke. i have known two people however who smoked heavily for more years than nik has been alive(i remember that he's a few months younger than me),it's well possible. actually if you're having serious trouble,i can tell you how a heavy smoker for almost 40 years quit(i recommend trying conventional methods first) he tripped and fell on his face, and his cigarette got caught in his throat, apparently he still wants to smoke but can't bring himself to do it |
i plan to move in a month or so and I'm going to try and give up once i'm in my new place.

so I'm the douche for pointing out that yr toxic advice is not only worthless, but completely unsubstantiated in yr own life?
which is it then? are you the retard that can quit or the one that can't? en boca cerrada, no entran moscas. |

i can quit, i don't want to, but i'd imagine being a week with no cig i'm not physically addicted yes you are the douche i repeat you are the douche |

but you already have a good reason to quit, it sounds like you feel like shit as a result of smoking, that's basically what's going to happen when you stop is you'll feel bad because yr body is convinced it needs cigarettes.
did you cut down yet though? because if you're over a pack a day then it's a huge part of yr routine and that will cause you problems |
I quit smoking cigs cold turkey. It took 6-8 weeks before all the twitchy nerves and the pangs of want went away fully. I used any time I normally had used to smoke to instead draw. I would draw out of nervous energy and eventually would forget why I was drawing and not notice the jangly nerves anymore.
It helps if you take something up to pass the time. the hardest are those times when you used to ritually smoke, after a meal for example, or in the car on the way home from work, or after sex. habits are programmed into our brains by ourselves. There is a good bit of study done that shows a ratio betwene how often you do something and how long it takes for NOT doing t to feel normal. The ratio is between 1 to 12 and 1 to 16. a daily habit takes 12 to 16 days of not doing it to "break" the need/desire. a weekly habit takes 12-16 weeks to break. something like that I have talked to many ex smokers and they all say that if you can get through 3 weeks without a cig, you are 3/4 of the way to quitting for good. |
I've cut down to about 10 - 15 a day.
|
i manage to do 1-3 a day.
I really think if you can limit yourself to 5 you'll manage no problem for now. |
