Im on my 3rd day NO SMOKE NO DRINK. And it aint easy, Tomarrows another day.
Good luck.
ladies and gentlemen let me introduce mine frind and yours------runs without beer----
Good luck RW/OB,quitting the smokes is hard to do by themselves.
you dont need em!!!
I quit smoking first, a dozen times. Chewed also, drank plenty. Beer don't taste right without a smoke, neither does coffee. I finally whipped the cigs then the booze. Only took a few bad days for the booze, quit coffee also. Its been 15yrs now. I had as much trouble with the chewing tobacco(not snuff) as the cigs. I drink coffee again, took a drink now and again of beer but NO way will I take one puff. It still gets me even now, especially when I drive by myself. Good luck, I made it up to 8mos. at one time before I broke over.
It is in your head. You have to tell yourself you are a non smoker. Think like a non smoker, act like a non smoker, learn to hate smoking.
Worked for me.
Good Luck it does get easier but you have to be tough.
8 years this April
I got rid of all my bad habits at once, back in 2000....quite smoking and got divorced...best year of my life.
Thanks, I slep good last night for the first time in a few days, The cigs and the beer kinda went hand n hand for me, Feel alot diff.Today Thanks for your InputQuote:

They say the first 7 days are the hardest,you are passed the halfway point. Good luck!
Always remember,only your brain wants them.Your body doesnt.Your brain can undermine your body and ultimately ruin it for what?pleasure?its a bad trade.People are dead or in prison because they listened to their brains first thought of action instead of rationalizing whats best for the body as a whole.
Thanks you guys, And yes I would like to Choke the living *%* out of that damn Monkey.
Good luck, I am on day 4 myself. grrrrrrrrrrrr...
Oh, and might i add, this really, really, really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coffee is not tasting at all right, the french vanilla creame doesn't help in the least.... am drinking it black! I LIKE THE TASTE OF MY TOBACCO!!! sorry....end rant.....
Sorry about the hijacking..... and I agree with wanting to choke the living S*&^ out of those who desperately deserve it!!!
Well, day 5. Good luck Runs With Beer...I am walking right along side you.
For Runs Without Beer and Laughing Beetle - I know that you've probably heard this before, but take it from a former smoker - food is going to taste much better.
The best thing I ever did was to give up smoking.
I feel SO much better now.
Keep going guys it really is worth it.
I'd like to be able to do the same with the beer but it's SO damn hot here and a really icy cold one is the only thing to hit the spot.
Like I say 'Good Luck' keep going you can do it.
Never had the habit myself, but keep on with your trials, your tribulation will be at hand
You're both doing SO well, it can be tough but stick with it, its definately worth it.
The first 3 days or so the chemicals are getting out of your immediate system (though tar on your lungs takes longer). After that, habit and cravings decline over the next couple of months.
If you feel weak one day and succumb to a quick smoke - don't give up, just allow yourself to not need any more and keep going with your plan to take back control of your life.
Tobacco is a very powerful plant, widely missunderstood esp by westerners.
Well done for even taking this first step, its difficult but you are on the right track.
Thank you. Had a mistep today actually... bought a pack on my way in to work... smoke half a cig then threw the lit cig out. chucked the pack too. gave me a wicked headache!
Here's something to try. Take the money for the smokes you would have bought and put it in a jar or can. Do it every day. One pack, two packs, doesn't matter - do it every day without fail. Don't count it or keep track of it. Do this for a period of say 6 months. Then treat your self to something that you've been wanting (NO NOT CIGARETTES) but couldn't really afford. When you open that can and have over $1000 it'll kind of put things in a different light. Not only will you feel better, but you'll have some extra $$$ in your pocket.
Good idea! Been doing that actually... i just got real twitchy today... Oh well, I have such a headache right now that I don't even want to look at a cigarette, much less actually light up! Take the good with the bad, and a cup of coffee to help things roll along!
Yah, that's for sure - unfortunately!Quote:

Amen to that!! the twitches are the worst.
I herebye claim this thread to be the official quitting smoking thread for the pack!! LOL! at least we have a place to vent, without actually driving eachother crazy with the crankieness.
