Help me quit smoking

[vtemti]

I need to quit, but have smoked for a long time. Have any of you quit and what helped you?

 

[Stevo]

uhmm............we could break your fingers?.....

no seriously Boss, my S.O. would also like to give it a rest, there's a support line in VT, i'll dig it up....

PS~ so what shall we addict you to in order to keep leading us ? heroin?

~S~

I've been trying for 5 years, if you find something that works let me know...

I quit just by throwing all of my cigs away. If I wanted to smoke another I had to go out and get a pack. I didn't want tos spend $1.50 just for a quick smoke. (That will tell you how long ago I quit.) I may sneak one every now and then if I'm bored and others around me are smoking, but I'm not a smoker anymore.

Basically, get rid of the temptation.

I quit in 1996. Here is the trick.

I joined a different karate school where contact kickboxing was a must. I was getting beat by people that couldn't even hit hard. I had no wind.

I got tired of sucking wind, quit smoking and was motivated by winning. Find something you love to do, find a way tha smoking interferes with it and give it a shot.

Some sort of physical activity will really help the decision making process.

Or a fiesty red head that says, "You can either smoke or date me. Not both."

Bwahahaha!!

Yup!! That would do it too!!!

Get pregnant.
That's how I quit. I found out, threw the pack away, was very angry for about a week and never looked back.
It can be done - you just have to be mentally ready to quit.

Good luck to you!! B)

Whatever u do dont try Welbutrin. Thats the most evil drug out there.
I have recently quit smoking. Yeah im talking under 2 weeks and still going.
I tried the welbutrin and it worked great got having no cravings but ya know i just couldnt deal with feeling like i was on acid.
Cold turkey after that. It was hard the first few days but the local store loved me for buying all their gum.
And no i havent cheated yet.

Good Luck Quitting and i hope you have some support because that means alot when u need it.

We bribed my Dad with a 26 foot MacGregor sailboat. Worked wonders, he hasn't smoked a single cancer stick in 20 years.

I'm working on getting my boyfriend to quit, you have to find someone willing to help you get over the oral fixation. :wub:

Tootsie Pops!! You may get cavities, but you just asked to quit smoking. LOL

No really, I know a guy who would buy tootsie pops, and rather than lighing a cig, he would eat a tootsie pop.

Me on the other hand, I fear for the people around me when I decide to quit.

Good Luck!!

Get pregnant.

Now that would really be a milestone since I don't have the correct parts!!!! :blink: :lol:

I have tried the welbutrin, worked great while I was on it. Then we went into the winter season where I spend more time in a plow truck than at home. I think you get the picture especially you current and ex smokers.

Haven't done it yet, but it will be soon. I may fall back to all of you from time to time to give me a kick in the A.........posterior end if that's ok.

OK, this could work. How long before you deliver it to me?

And about the oral fixation thing, ummmmmmm....................that could work either way. With the right partner I might just like the fixation, but it would be worth quitting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stevo]

are both you and the wife quittin' Boss?

 

[Phridae]

Cold Turkey.

I mean eat cold turkey. They had to get that saying from somewhere, right? :huh:

The same boat with smoking, except that I don't think the person in question has red hair....
