I Think Its Time

[cashierbex]

Its time to quit smoking once and for all. I have done it before for almost a year. I have a couple of things to look forward to next year. A niece or nephew (my Godchild) due in January and meeting my girlfriend (DW) in person. I might use the money I'd spend on smokes and save up for a couple of tattoos I have been wanting for a while.

I hope it works out this time, as much as I love smoking. And pray for the poor souls that have to deal with me.

Try the electric one?

Congrats on the decision. Sticking to it is the hardest part. Keep your goals in mind. Good luck.

Quitting is easy. I have a coworker who has done it three times already this week, and it is only Tuesday.

Seriously, good luck! It is a decision you will not regret.

Good Luck!

Just had a friend quit at the beginning of the month, he just went cold turkey, hope you both make it!

If you have any tips or tricks, let me know! I haven't actually made the decision to quit, but past experiences have shown I turn into an emotional wreck and a complete bitch.

Also the whole wanting to eat everything in site and I'm already a bit concerned to gain anymore weight.

Depending on how much you smoke a day, for the first week establish a limit (I will only smoke X cigarettes per day this week). Then every week drop that number by 1 or 2. And stick to your limit. It might make things easier.

If you have any tips or tricks,

A former employer offered to pay for a stop smoking hypnosis session for any takers. Eight people went. Four succeeded. Said it was easy. The other four only lasted two days.

Most of us figured that the heavy smokers would fail and the light smokers would make it. It turns out it was totally random. Two of the heavy smokes quit, two did not. Two of the light smokers quit, two did not.

By those results, it does not matter how bad your habit is. In two days you will know the answer.

Good luck to all of you who are trying.

Congrats! Not a smoker myself, but I know from when my sister quit you're probably gonna want some kind of fidget to occupy your hands and/or mouth. I'm told lolly pops are good.

If going cold turkey start at the beginning of the day when you don't have any cigs in the house. I've done cold turkey and then after a hellacious few months I started again. The second time I was in a test study for a new Nicorette flavor. That was ~7 years ago.
