A guy I do business with quit cold turkey. Said it was not a problem. All it took was looking at the ones he loved. He knew if he kept going cancer, lung problems etc would diminish his ability later in life. He wants to be able to enjoy everything to the fullest.
He finished his pack and said that was it. He has not touched on cigarette yet.

In my experience, bullshit "support" and hand-holding only makes quitting worse. The only way to do it is to stare in the mirror and tell yourself you are a weak failure if you cannot quit. Not saying you aren't doing all this, but having a support structure to fall back on is dangerous, IMO.
Also, do you really think you can afford the inevitable weight gain, tons of fun?
there are two sides to the addiction. 1st there is the psychological dependence - i.e. smokgin out of habit or in certain situations. I thiink I can definitely beat that. Then there is the physical dependence. Thats what has me worried. The withdrawal symptoms which leave you really really craving that nicotine.
I have taken appropriate precautions and I think Im going to be ok. BTW, there have been studies which have shown that for some reason, men are more successful at quitting cold turkey than females.

lol, just clicked the link in your sig............awesome
It's all in your mind. I haven't had one in over 3 months now. I don't even think about it. Only if I'm in a bar and a buddy lights up do I get a slight urge.....and that's after a few drinks.
An addiction to a chemical substance is a weakness in your mind. Just think about that.
It also helps to go do something physically active if you have any cravings, and think of how hard it would be to do if you were still smoking.

Nicotine has the most useless drug effect of all drugs, especially in cigarette form. The buzz is so short lived and doesn't do anything for the user, really. Pointless.
Im feeling ok so far. After dinner, instead of sitting with my mom and sisiter and lighting up, I went and did all the dishes and washed all the pots and pans. That pretty m uch got me distracted enough to make it thru the urge to smoke. They say each urge really only lasts 5 min or so.
Awesome.
I'd also like to wager 50,000 k points on you doing it with the karma bookie. This should be on the wagering forum.
Here's a tip. Take all the money that you would have spent on cigarettes, put them in a jar every week, then at the end of the year, count it, write a check, and send it to me. Thanks

i quit over a year ago. i've smoked prolly a pack's worth in the year since then, but that's better than the pack or so i was up to at my worst. the only time i have an urge is when i smell and see other people smoking. if i see them smoking it don't bother me, and if i just smell cigarette smoke it doesn't bother me, but if i see it going on and smell it going on, i want one
good luck on your endeavor
good luck on your endeavor
KillahBee's right Smurfy, I quit 27 years ago and it wasn't until I sucked it up and said thats it, that I was able to do it. It's like taking a deep breath before jumping out of an airplane, you just say that's it and never look back. I wont say good luck cause luck has nothing to do with it.KillahBee said:

Good job, Smurfy!
Also, you didn't tell me your sister was a smoker.
big up ya, Smurfy!
I quit for kid reasons and, well, i didnt really feel like choosing to die a slow agonizing demoralizing self inflicted totally avoidable death... i might go through that anyway, but to walk into that room is too fucking stupid for description...
You know what keeps me 'quit', even though when i get ass-over-epiglotus shit-faced i still smoke a couple (that adds up to about a pack in the last 7 years): The idea that some comercial product ruled my life. FUCK THAT! like I am not strong enough physically or of character to NOT be a slave to some orchestrated commercial addiction? FUCK THAT< SQUARED!
For better or worse, i would like to decide my destiny, not some chopped up dried weed that is sold to me to make somebody else rich at the calous expense of my life.
Cheers to you, you ARE strong. When the urge strikes, go look in the mirror and ask the question: who is stronger? me? or that calous old fuck that runs Phillip Morris? Who runs my life? Me? Or them?

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to Smurfy again.
You can do it!!
Best of luck.
I haven't had one since last November. I quit the easy way. When i could no longer breath & was almost passing out from coughing, I realized I don't wanna die on my wife. There's no way I'm leaving my plastic model collection to her LOL. You just need to identify your motivation & concentrate on that.
If I could do it, anybody else can.

Awesome! I was tempted a little before my first year mark but actually haven't thought of it much at all. A couple times in the last month I imagined lighting up and smoking one outside at night but ehh.
