Quitting smoking...

[Atrain1]

I quit in january. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done.

January would have marked me second year if I would not have started up a few months back. My wife quit when she found out she was pregnant with my first son cold turkey and has not looked back for 6 years, so you can only imagine the looks I got when I started up again. I am sure many of the married guys on here know the look.

Think of it this way, you who are trying to quit.

Smoking used to be a sign of toughness, now it's a sign of weakness.

Be strong!

I interviewed a guy once and he said quitting smoking was one of the hardest things he has done (stupid interview question). Said he used Chantix. Might give that a try. I've gone anywhere from 3 days not smoking to 4 months (I think this story is in this thread). I don't know what my deal is. At 16:00 today I was thinking how much better I felt from not smoking for a few days. Then an hour later I'm at the gas station getting gas and buying a pack.

id be very careful using drugs too quit.....about 10 years ago i got wellbutrin to help me quit.....and while i had no cigarette cravings it turned me into a monster i was having huge rage outs punching holes in the walls etc(im like normally the calmest guy ever )it was UNCONTROLLABLE....... i stopped after 2 weeks went back to normal and quit cold turkey about 2 years later those big pharma drugs are scary as hell

bottom line is if you dont want to quit your not going to

Good luck to all that quit or are quitting. Stay strong we can do this.

I have been smoke free for 1 1/2 years now and feel ok. I gained 50 fricken pounds that I have been trying to lose but that is proving tough also. I have not have one single cig, but I have cravings still almost every day.

Those big pharma drugs are scary as hell.

Totally, I stay away from that shit. I know it helps some people though, especially those who are unlucky enough to have panic attacks, high anxiety, etc. I for one don't trust ANYTHING that causes anger management issues, or messes with my sex drive, lol!

Well, today is 2 years!! I am amazed i havnt smoked in two years. There is not a day that goes by that I dont wish I was smoking a cig. I still love the smell and get as close to a smoker as I can so I can get a wiff.

Anyway, 2 years is a huge milestone for me!!

Congrats on 2 years smoke free!

I've been chew-free since October. Quit cold turkey (went through a lot of sunflower seeds) and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Awesome and congrats! I can't imagine still wanting one. It's been 15 years for me but when I quit I never looked back. Every so often one will smell good but for the most part I hate the smell and haven't really wanted one since. I wish you many more smoke free years!
