3 day hump man....if you can make over that...you should be good. Every time you want to reach for a cigarette (which is a learned behavior with physiological underpinnings) you have to create a diversion such as drinking water or eating something. This way you are getting the oral fixation without the nicotine. You're addicted to one of the most powerful drugs known to man (second to sugar, I believe)...and you need to realize that your habbit doesn't own you, YOU own it!! So take responsability for your problem, decide what you are going to do if you 'give in,' and then have those diversions in place. If you think you can just beat it through will power alone, you are setting yourself up for failure....because that almost never works.

Good luck bro!

Actually.. after smoking for 3 years, I just quit. I was dating a girl who was ok w/me smoking when we started going out, but she didn't like it. One day, I was driving down the street, lit up a cig.. took 2 puffs and threw it out the window. Then I took the pack in my console and tossed that out the window.

I quit for the next 9 months till we broke up.. then I realized that I didn't care whether or not I smoked haha. Been off and on since then, but I've pretty much been able to quit whenever I want... and I haven't really smoked regularly for about a year... probably bought about.. 6 packs total? since last june.

those really do look like penises.

So think of ******* penis next time you want to light up. If that doesn't make you quit... then you're probablyl iceteebone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

well, you know the reason you can smoke is b/c you cant **** on anything, like a straw, or a cig, or god forbid a penis. what you need to do is take a 20oz coke bottle, cut a whole in it, get someone to **** the smoke in the bottle, and then you squeze the smoke out, and "grab it" w/ your mouth.

Thank God i was smart enough to realize smoking is a waste of money, and **** retarted.

when you started about the coke bottle, i thought you were gonna tell him to do weed instead //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

BTW, when he said he wanted to quit smoking, it assumed that meant FOREVER!! So sorry if I was wrong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Sounds like you're taking breaks, not quitting.

I just quit. Been like 5 days and no problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I havent bought a pack in 2 months

I just really don't care... like. It's not a driving factor in my life. I don't smoke on a regular basis because I don't want to. At the same time, if I want to smoke a cig, it's usually for the hell of it, and it doesn't break some personal moral code I have set up for myself...

Well maybe try the patch if you want to do it slow. That is what both my parents did and they have been smoking for over 30 years each. So it was really hard for them.

Really if you cant do it the slow way, the best way is just quit cold turkey.
