[ackthecat]

Just dont smoke. You may say easier said than done, but it pretty much comes done to that.

good job. I agree it does come down to just dont do it

try buying a pack, then crushing it like a bug. its crazy, ive gone almost 14 months, and i still have dreams that i start smoking again.

Yea my wife hasn't smoked in 4 years and still smokes in her dreams. She still can't smoke dope anymore ( I never have) because it will make her want to start smoking again.

Yeah, smoking dope does the same for me, just want a cigarrette more.
Haven't had any dreams about smoking yet but used to dream
about doing other drugs after I quit.

I am in my first 8 days since quitting smoking for the third time.

I was a smoker (50-60 a day) from age 19-24 then 25-40/day from 24-30). I gave up on my 30th birthday for about 4 years. Started again a habit of 20/day last year and gave up again in October 07 only to start again in December a 15/day habit.

I decided to quit again on my 35th birthday last week and I am immensly grumpy. I am growling at people, start shouting and am generally really bad tempered.

The problem is that I don't have any weed as well at the moment. Weed usually curbs my craving for smokes and so I'm sitting here, grumpy not sure why I write this.

Giving up smoking is hard and if I ever want to smoke cigarettes again I should only remember how shitty I feel every time I give up.

The reason why I gave up again? Having met a 40 year old man who is dying of lung cancer and he had a 30/day habit. Given that I get older and don't feel as invincible as I used to this was too close for comfort.

holy shit, 50-60 a day? ive smoke for like 5 years and i feel like shit if i smoke more than 10 a day.

im at over two months now. all i can say is cold turkey is the only way to go imo and you have to be mentally strong, like a motherfucker. its not an easy task, there hasnt been one day of the 70 or so its been that i havent thought about taking a long smooth drag from a delicious cig (only one breakdown so far). ya just gotta do it.

I always think of "dope" as harder drugs, mainly heroin. Your wife smokes heroin?

OP fails.

buying packs is the only reason i keep smoking. once in a while i buy a pack because i love tobacco with my weed, but then i just start smoking the cigs. best plan is to never buy a pack.

also i bought a yoyo and got flavored toothpicks to do something with my hands and mouth on the way to places, and let me tell you its fucking sweet and works like a charm.
