Yeah I normally dont post here or even read too many posts. However I thought that some was pretty interesting. Also I thought that I would like to share a problem of my own. And also wanting some advice.
I'm trying to quit smoking right now since I dont have the money to buy any more smokes and it's the perfect time. And so I'm removing any and all stuff that I can find related to smoking out of the house. Includng ashtrays and the works.
I've already been away from smokes for a entire day and I hate the withdraw effects. Quite nasty if you smoke yourself.
I tell myself the positives like better health and more money and all that. And all of it's true. I've been smoking heavilly for 20 years and now I think is a good time to quit. Wish me luck lol
Good luck! It's mostly about will power... if you really want to do it, you can.
I stopped smoking recently too, but I didn't smoke much to begin with, so I didn't have to go through withdrawal symptoms or anything. I feel healthier already though... if you want to quit, it's totally worth the effort. Good luck again <img src=smilies/thumb.gif>
My buddy's going through the same thing. He just had his wisdom teeth out so he's using it as a catalyst -- not supposed to smoke for 4 days after the surgery. <img src=smilies/cwm11.gif>

As bad as it sounds, that's perfect for him if he wants to stay quit after all that.
I have some motivation myself. I dont have any money. However I could go and borrow some. I'm not going to do that. And I for sure dont want to do that.
I'm going through the withdraw effects right now and it sucks :-(
I quit smoking for 3 weeks once. It sucked. Just don't do this one thing: DON'T HAVE A CIGARETTE. I know it sounds weird, but even after you just have 1 after a few days, everything gets shot to hell.

I can't believe I took 3 years of Latin for this...</P>
Yeah I know what you mean by DONT HAVE ONE. When I was smoking for 10 years and I quit for almost a month. And I smoked one and omg it felt so damn bad. Like all those chemicals was back and I was so light headed I almost fell over lol. However now I'm trying again and I dont want to have that feeling again say if I do manage to pull it off for a few weeks like I did the last time.
I tell ya I'm in the process of quitting. I wont call it over till I get past the withdraws and all that. To the point where I cough when someone is smoking arround me. Then I will say I did it. Untill then it's a battle all the way <img src=smilies/cwm27.gif>
Man! I have the same problem. I have tried to quit smoking many times but NO... My record was a week without smoking. The withdraw effects SUCK...
I'm trying to quit again but I'm afraid that it's not gonna happen

Oh, I applaud you and I'm sure you'll do fine. I was just continuing the Simpsons reference.
Gil, don't go off smoking "cold turkey". Find something less dangerous to help you gradually get off the addiction. I once heard of nicotine lollipops. I wonder if they're stil around.
