Also don't do the pre-planned finish. "in two weeks, after i get back from vegas I'm quitting." That also doesn't seem to work.I don't think you every really quit, it just gets easy to say no to cigarettes over time.
Congrats on quitting smoking.
It took me 4 days going at it 8 hours a day. I had quitting easy, because I have a long list of hobbies, not learning that song. And Dream Theater? Are you mad man?
Thanks, man. I won't consider myself entirely a quitter until I stop wanting them. Which, according to Serssia, may take quite a long time...
Seriously though, for those of you not yet old enough to smoke or who haven't tried yet... DON'T START. Smoking is more expensive than cable, harder to quit than breathing and less healthy than consistantly eating out of the trash can. The only reason we keep smoking is to avoid the cravings... there isn't even any positive "high" to it.... just lows.I'm 26-years-old, smoked for 8 years now, and every morning I cough worse than a middle-aged coal-miner. Every time I lay on my back, I feel my phlegm shifting from my esophagus down into my lungs, and wake up 5x a night sitting up to cough it all out. I have more spots on the inside of my car's windshield than the outside covered in bug guts because of how much I cough, and I live in lovebug country. So kids, don't try tobacco. If you do, every time you get stressed in life, you'll check your pocket for a pack of smokes, look around frantically and start stressing out even more so you can smoke some more. Then you're health will start to deteriorate and you'll stress about that some more, which of course leads to more cigarettes. The Willsave DC to quit is at least 22, and 90% of the people who quit wind up relapsing any time they're stressed.And worst of all, if you smoke, people who don't buy cigarettes but manage to smoke a pack/day will target you for their parasitic sustainance. At least 1/4 of the smokers out there seriously do not buy their own, they just walk around all bug-eyed looking for other people smoking who they can mooch off of. Then when you politely refuse, they get ANGRY and follow you around on the street griping at you, as if it was your fault they spent all their cigarette money on other drugs. They will even ask you for "extra cigarettes" as if the packs you bought mysteriously came with 21 per pack, and the 21st had a little label that said "this is a promotional cigarette, give it to a friend!"And the absolute worst are those moochers who tell you that they're trying to quit, so they don't buy cigarettes, but still ask you for one EVERY TIME they see you smoking. It's like "awww, give me one. I'm trying to quit" and if you tell them "sorry, you're trying to quit, I shouldn't give you one" they go all feral and gnash their teeth at you, cussing you out belligerently. They're even worse than all the coughing.
I cut down from 2 packs a day to around 1 pack every 3 days. Might not have quit yet, but at least now the bucket of phlegm I cough up every morning is a healthier shade of yellow-orange.
