Quitting is a virtual impossibility. I've been smoking since I was 16 - back in 1962 ["ancient history"]. I've tried several [thousand] time to quit before, and the best distance I got was a "short" week [5 days] before I started climbing the walls. Those who haven't been there do not know how powerfully addictive that stuff is. It took a very bad chest cold with severe congestion to get me started on the "road to quitting". That was back in Oct of '09
It wasn't easy, but the "formula" was simple. First off, there are no ciggies and matches within a thousand miles of you, and you are at "max jones-ing" for a cig. Now stop - - - just STOP. Don't do anything. Wait........
In about 10 or 15 minutes, the urges will no longer be there. I KNOW - - it sounds dumb..... but it has actually worked for me. As time went on, the urges were of shorter and shorter duration; and the time between urges grew wider and wider. Now, I no longer have any urge to smoke at all; and people can blow that stuff in my face, and it doesn't bother me at all.
Now I can smell a smoker a mile away - even if he's not smoking, and food tastes SOOOOO much better. I'm carrying an extra 40 pounds around to prove that one.......
"BZ"............... "FOGGY"...............
Peter... I defer to Foggy on this one- I never smoked... Well, maybe one cigarette (from a K-ration packet in the military...lol)-- it was filterless and absolutely disgusting to me. My cohort (a fellow cadet who was a smoker) finished smoking that Marlboro and it made him ill... lol But, aside from that, I never smoked but was associated through work or friendship with several people that did. The ones that did quit, quit by not smoking at all, or being near smokers while they did. It took a while, and it was hard as the cravings set in, but between chewing gum, eating hard candies, and just sheer perseverance, they DID quit. One, who had a lifetime (45 year) habit.
I know you can do it. Now will be easier than later in your life. I won't minimize the difficulty because I've seen people quit, but I think it's a real good thing to be free of the addiction for your long term health prospects.
I really hope you do, in any way you can! luv, tman<3
Either you continue to try or you don't. If you don't, the long range prospects for your health are poor. Also, fewer and fewer people want to be around smokers - the smell is on you constantly. Breath is usually horrible (who wants to kiss that?), and hair smells, too. There are fewer and fewer places you can smoke - at home, hiding in the woods, or in your car. So try now to put it behind you...and keep trying, over and over. Come here to climb the walls, we got your back.
Peace <3
