Posted: 8/10/2005 11:06:02 PM | | Does quitting drinking coca-cola count? I just finished day 5 So far so good but I miss it so much. I have yet to find anything to replace its flavor. Water is so blah and juice has to much sugar too. I just keep drinking the water. | |

Posted: 10/6/2009 10:19:16 AM | | Why anyone would want to torture themselves by quitting smoking is just beyond me. OMG there would be no joy in life if I couldnt smoke. Just give in and make yourself happy. There is no habit as great as smoking. One of biggest simple joys in life. Say what you want, its totally worth the risk, and I find as long as I workout I dont have shortness of breath or anything like that, and I first starting inhaling and smoking at 9 year old. So quit making yourself miserable and have a smoke, youll thank yourself later! | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 6:10:57 AM | | I'm just getting to 5 weeks (1 without the patch - couldn't keep em lit). I stopped because after a hospital visit for chest pain I was told I only had 25% of my lung tissue left. The doctor couldn't understand why I wasn't on a ventilator. I get the urge now and then but don't plan on doing anymore smoking. | |

Any edge that gets you through another "smoke-free" day is needed.
Good for you...and good luck. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 8:47:07 AM | Day 17 for me, I'm not going back this time. I have different reasons this time....now that I'm free again, I don't want to turn off prospective dates by being a smoker. Getting my health back seems the sexy thing to do also. I was at a social function, and when I told people I quit, many people, who just stopped themselves, gave me a high five, it was sweet, and made me feel part of something again.
The ultimate test was Sat night, went drinking and dancing at the club, and nope, didn't have one and didn't want to bum one, it feels right this time...good luck to everyone. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 4:01:43 PM | I tried to quit smoking but it was too hard. So, I figured I'd take up jogging to get healthier but my smoke just kept going out when I would run so I had to quit jogging....
At least I quit something? | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 5:10:13 PM | If you really want to stop ,wait until you get a cold or the flue ,they usually taste like crap then & you can go for a week without them, cold turkey, then just follow through from then on .
its been 32 years since I quit I was at 2 packs a day. hang in there, but you have to want to quit for any type of stopping to work. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 6:03:16 PM | quite 4/03/03.....Join a support group that is the biggest help.
Get away from all the places that are/were your smoking spots
change your routine as to what you do so you dont smoke.
Many of us smokers would wake up get a cup of coffee sit in a certain place and have a cig. well change where you drink your coffee. change where you take your breaks.
Believe it or not changing your routine a bit and keeping out of your old smoking places really helps. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 6:41:03 PM | I am quitting now too. I quit for three months twice recently. The gum works but still is an addiction. The best luck I have had is with Chantix. You don't even feel the withdrawal. Its just kicking the habit. I just got a new prescription for it and will try again for good this time. The hardest part for me is I live alone and have a lot of self thought. I find myself reaching in my pocket after I eat or coffee or when I used to smoke one. Bad habit to break. It was the worst mistake I ever made.
Talking about vivid dreams. Try chantix its like taking LSD when your sleeping.
Good luck to every one trying  | |
