I searched and saw this topic created a long time ago...but this message came up...so I decided to start a new one.
Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.
As of right now, it has been 35 days since my last cigarette. (5 weeks to the day)
Smoked from the time i was 17 until last month (31)...14 years. I never once thought about quitting in that time. Until some time in april, when out of the blue, my wife asked me if I would consider quitting. I said sure, I'll do it May 15.
So the night of May 14...i finished my pack. And bam....cold turkey. Havent smoked since.
I did go about a week with those nicotine losenges. They made me nautious...
Overall, other than 3 or 4 days of some mild headaches, nothing that tylenol didn't help get rid of, it's actually be quite easy to quit. I still drink as much coffee and beer as I did before.
Actually, the hardest part of quitting is realizing how much free time I now have. It's like I now have 2 extra hours a day that I don't know what to do with.
Congrats....I guess.
I dont think Ill ever quit. I like smoking too much. Cigarettes too.
Why are you telling us this?
looking for support...maybe?
damn congrates so far with the cold turkey thing. i don't need to smoke at all til i hit the bottle, then its over i can easily smoke a pack of cigs if drinking. horrible and wish i could just stop cold turkey but the cravings come on strong when i drink. have to be a double whammy for me to totally quit. prob a good idea...

QuoteI was really addicted to hot turkey. I loved eating it right out of the oven nice and warm. I had to get off the stuff, so I went cold turkey.
Hilarious joke from Last Comic Standing. :boom
I finally quit a while ago. I'll still have one occasionally when I'm really drunk and won't be around my kid anytime soon... which means I've had 2 cigarettes in the last year or so.
I really have no desire to smoke until I'm drunk. It took about 2 years to get to that point, even.

What's the difference?

Since I've had my first kid (February), I've tried quitting. I once quit for about two years, then had a spell where I went partying in Dewey Beach, DE for about a week and a half and smoked about three cartons.
It's been a farging bitch quiting since, I get about two weeks into, stress over something and that'll do it, that and if I so much think about drinking a beer, and I get insatiable cravings. Like the first time I did it (for the two years), I'll just have man up and not touch booze for about a month and suck it up until I'm out of the woods.

This wasn't even that long and yet (http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/didntread4gd.gif).
It was more for me than you anyway.
I figured that.
ive touched a cigarette (lit or unlit) once in my life...that was in high school playing that drinking game where a paper towel holds a quarter on top of a glass you you gotta burn holes in it until it falls...just having to touch the cigarette a few times during that one game repulsed me

Jesus, tighten up you delicate rose petal.
I've never smoked a cigarette in my life either. But I dip Copenhagen so whatever...I thought about quitting it and tried a few times but didn't do it.
I'm actually in the process of quitting right now. Or trying to anyway. I'm down to roughly a half pack a day which is pretty good progress for me. The only thing that really pisses me off about the whole thing is that I've basically stopped going to bars and doing a lot of heavy drinking because I know I'll burn through a pack in a few hours. I feel like a Hoyda.

I can hear his vadge growing all the way here in delaware.
I smoke, primarily at work if i have cigs and need to get away. When i go out drinking i smoke often, thought its reduced because of the smoking laws.
All i can say is good luck wing, keep it up.
Easy solution: Move to NH (http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/06/20/nh_prohibits_smoking_in_bars_and_restaurants)
Well I haven't had a cigarette so far in 2008. Granted, that's only a little over two days but this is the longest I've went in years.
Good on you. If you start again, don't sweat it. You're going to die either way.
I quit twenty or so times I suppose, but the point is that if you keep trying, the law of averages is on your side. It's been five years now, after 16 years of smoking. I look forward to picking it up again someday...miss that shtein still.
In barely related news, a new $1 per pack tax just went into effect in MD yesterday. Yay for sin taxes..looking forward to the extra $1 per tax on Big Macs
North Carolina is, shockingly, one of the cheapest states in which to buy cigarettes.
I still smoke about 2 or 3 nights a year but am able to avoid it the other ~362 days or so.

It's been since May since my last cigarette, after 15+ years of at least a pack a day.
the 2nd week was the toughest.
So you think..just wait for the 98th week. Awful, just farging awful.
perfect time to start on Kodiak then.

I have done both--smoked for a long time--quit that. Just chew now, and i have to say that cigarette is the worst. Anytime you can come back from the outside or wherever you are and smell like a dirty wet ashtray to the rest of the world, you rank above the rest...and forget about getting ass if your single..unless that girl smokes
Dipping--yes it will crush the breath, but I can disguise it with ease in the corner of my mouth. It is longer lasting than a cigs, so that is the downfall..unless you get a quicky in. Spitting is a little trickier but can be done as well.
Both = garbage
I've rarely had problems picking up women who don't smoke. Of course, it probably helps alot that I'm not you.
Ive seen pics of you Sarge...trust me, Im overjoyed Im me

Cancer.

You have cancer of the femoral artery, Florida boy.
Cancer > shot in the dick.
I haven't smoked in about 5 weeks, mainly because of a heart attack.
So, uh, you had a heart attack? That doesn't cut into your bacon consumption does it?
considering I rarely ate bacon, only a little.
So are you saying that since I eat a whole lot of bacon that I am immune to heart attacks and generally indestructible otherwise?
I don't see any holes in that logic.
That's because it's holeless.
so i just finished a 9-day trip, getting drunk in san antonio, los angeles, and vegas, and still have not had a cigarette. i didn't think i could do it but i'm pretty sure i'm a non-smoker now.
however, i think my body is severely confused because i get nose bleeds about once a day now, and am coughing up some really nasty shtein. i've been blaming it on the dryness of LA and vegas, but if blood keeps coming out of me, i might have to go to a doctor. it would be so awesome if he told me i should start smoking.
Sounds like you traded smoking for coke.
It sounds like your body finally has a chance to try to flush out the horrible shtein that you've been coating your lungs with. Both times that I went from regular smoker to mostly-quit-smoke-on-rare-occasions smoker I've gotten a zesty cough during the process with gross rainbow colors being hacked up. Sexy.

Quitting smoking is easy. I don't understand why people view it as a major accomplishment. It's so easy in fact, that I've quit smoking at least 4 times in the last 6 months.

I've never heard that joke before!
Hey, did you hear the one about a chicken crossing the road?
Yo, word on the street is that quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health.
so i'm almost at the three week mark, which is pretty good, but this morning i woke up with my upper lip and chin all blue, so i called a friend to figure out what happened, and i remember now, but i was snorting a whole bunch of speed last night. i'm going to have to confirm with my doctor, but i'm pretty sure that's not good for you either.
And here I was going to share with everyone the drinking bet that I won last night. Matt's already out-storied me. farger.
what was the bet?
I had to drink one each of the nine beers on tap at the restaurant in 2 hours. I've had nine beers or more at once about seventy five hundred times before but I was never under time constraints and it was surprisingly difficult. Anyway, it made me drunk and we went out afterwards and I ended up passed out on my neighbor's shteinter. Again.
I drank Coors Light last night. By myself!!!1111
15 1/2 Months smoke free..Had to add cigars to the list FARG. Feel good but certain things (MMORPG computer games) still have me reaching for the pack thats not there :puke
So I didn't touch a cigarette from Jan. until about Sept., so like 8 months, then I started allowing myself one every now and then when I'm out at the bar. so i'd have 3 or 4 a week for about a month, and now it has culminated with me buying a whole pack for a bachelor party last weekend and going through about a pack and a half this weekend in cincinnati. my voice is almost totally gone and my throat feels like i swallowed the cigarettes while they were still lit. time to go cold turkey again.
It's getting cold out, so im done smoking at work after this pack, i'll probably still smoke when we go bar hopping. I'm weird and so is the wifey, we just do not have an addiction to Nicotine. It doesnt matter how long i smoke for, i can just stop without thinking about it.
I started up again at a wedding a couple months ago after 5+ years off. I'm loving it. And hating it. That's the problem. If I'm smoking, I wish I weren't. If I'm not, I wish I was. It's a hell of an addiction.
If they shaped cigarettes like mini-penises and the butt was mushroom shaped and instead of smoking they called it, "lighting up another peenee"...most men would stop smoking, but some wouldn't but most women would start and love it but it would still probably lead to lung cancer and stuff.
I have no cravings until I drink. Then its over. I can go as long as I can go without drinking with no problems. I don't want to quit drinking but would love to quit smoking, but I don't think its going to work that way

Anyone quit Caffeine? I'm having some healthy problems and the Dr. said to gradually cut back until I'm off for good. farg it's hard.
I recently got back to chasing the caffeine dragon. I missed coffee more than I miss cigarettes and I'm happy to have it back.
I only smoke when I drink & try to keep the drinking to weekends. I have zero cravings for cigarettes otherwise. I drink coffee on the reg, but again I can go a few days without it. I think I crave coffee more than cigs.
i've tried quitting several times and for the most part, it's not the going without cigarettes that's hard for me. but there are a few things that i associate with smoking like morning coffee and afternoon bourbon. i could go all day without a smoke but if you put a cup of coffee in front of me or a glass of bourbon in my hand then there has to be a cigarette to go with it otherwise i start going nuts inside my head.
i could go the rest of my life without a cigarette and not miss it but i'll be damned if i'm giving up my morning coffee or bourbon. thus, not giving up the cigarettes. at least not yet anyway.

Don't need to depend on caffeine or nicotine (or weed) like most of the people I know do to get through the day. Just doesn't seem like a fun way to live life.
It's amazing how many people can't function properly if they don't get their coffee or their smoke break.

Day 1 of Caffeine withdrawal:

And this is exactly why even when on my shteintiest most tired days, I will not start drinking coffee in 5, 10, or 20 years.
Caffeine doesn't have much of an effect on me anyway.
Again, I don't really think depending on something like that to get through the day is a very enjoyable expierience, as evidenced by the whiney bitching that ensues from the people in my life when they don't get those things.
You are probably at the age where if you don't drink caffeine now, you probably never will.
You'll also be the insufferable douche in the office drinking water and tomato juice in the morning.
I started drinking coffee at 18 working for my uncle doing Landscaping. I really only drank it when it was days when we had to start work at 4am because of the heat. I typically have one cup a day, but if i dont have coffee for days it doesnt bother me. I also can smoke 5 times a day for months, then stop without any problem. I'm going to try heroin, since i dont get addicted to anything except spanking my wang
I have what is known as an addictive personality and as such I tend to overdue things just a tad. At my first job after college I found myself drinking 7-8 cups of coffee a day. It farged with my sleep and made me feel like shtein so I quit cold turkey, which sucked but whatever. Now that I'm drinking caffeine again I can already see the steady progression upward. I've gone from 4-5 cups a week to 2 or more a day in the matter of a month... moderation is for boring iceholes.

That's crazy. Bud Select and Miller Lite bottles both come in 20-packs here. Coors Light sucks and only has 18.
you sure youre not talking about a case (24) not 20
20 = MA
I'm sure. I buy enough cheap ass light beer. They sell 12-packs also, but the "case" is only 20. Distributors sell in 24's, but it's usually just two 12's on one piece of cardboard.
we only have 24 cases of bottles or 12's. Cans come in 30packs. I know down in the outerbanks they only have 24packs or 18packs of cans. I have never heard of a 20pack
They have 20 packs of BL here in PA, they had them when I lived in CA too.

can someone explain to me why you would buy a 20 pk but not a case....im having a hard to explaining it to myself
A case of bottles comes in the form of two twelve pack containers whereas a 20 pack is in one single box and costs less per unit.
huh?
who the hell lives where they dont sell cases of beer as one unit...two twelve packs is two twelve packs
i also find it hard to believe that the per beer price of a 20 pk is cheaper than that of a case
god youre also so trashy
They could sell 3-packs of Miller Lite ponies for $1.75 a can and I would buy them.

My dad loves ML Ponies, if he see's them he cant help but buy them.
During my grandfather's last months, he would buy the 8 ounce ponies of Miller Lite, and drink what he could. I fondly remember sitting there having a beer with him as he sipped through a straw from his pony while I drank mine.
And we have 20-packs, not 24's. I think it's dumb, but I still get to drink. The method of how I get them from the store to my liver doesn't really concern me.
I buy a five pack once a day generally, on the weekend I plop down for a 13 pack because liquor stores are closed Sunday.
In other words, this conversation is fascinating and I just love you guys.
you goofy guy.
bakers dozen!

You're getting ripped off somewhere, and you need to get to the bottom of that.

can someone explain to me why you would buy a 20 pk but not a case....
Come to the Panthers game. Saturday night, we'll take a field trip to a Harris Teeter, and I'll show you exactly what the options are.
Miller Lite bottles: 6 pack, 12 pack, 20 pack
Bud Select bottles: 6 pack, 12 pack, 20 pack
Coors Light bottles: 6 pack, 12 pack, 18 pack
Cans, however, do have 24 packs.
You like it in the can
Get Liquor stores that sell beer weirdos
I buy cans because they are cheaper and keep pint glasses in the freezer.

There are a few distributorships around, but they mostly deal in kegs. When beer is available at every gas station, grocery store, Target, Wal-Mart, and preschool; there is really no need to go to a distributor.
you pay a premium at gas stations, i go to the liquor store, walk in, and they run into the back for a 30pack for me
Your face pays a premium.
i have nothing
You have a face!
so i'm trying to quit smoking again and just picked up an e-cigarette (http://www.electroniccigarettesinc.com/vapor-king-electronic-cigarette.html) to see if it helps at all.
got it in the mail last night and brought it with me to work today. so far, so good as i've only smoked 2 actual cigarettes. because it's smokeless, i could "smoke" at my desk but i still take a smoke break with my buddies just to get out of the shop for a few minutes. i can smell their cigarettes when we're out there but haven't actually had the desire to smoke one. so far this thing seems to do the trick.
anyone else ever heard of these or know anyone who has used them?
I quit dipping 3 weeks ago and haven't had any real cravings. The first week it was tough but i have been chewing gum and sunflower seeds a lot.

so it's been a week and so far this thing is actually working fairly well. over the first 4 days, i only smoked about 3 or 4 cigs a day. saturday was a bit of a set back because i put my dog down that morning so i was chain smoking most of the day. then i actually went a full 24 hours without an actual cigarette on sunday and had 3 smokes yesterday and i think 3 today.
since this thing seems to do the trick, i think i'm going to set some actual goals now so that i hopefully have it completely kicked within a few weeks or so.
if any of yous are considering quitting right now, i'd recommend giving these things a try.
So it's working fairly well to help you quit smoking except for the times you decided to keep smoking?
Sign me up.

I quit cold turkey about a month ago, no I have had a few relapses while drunk. But now I have no real desire when sober, that took about 2-3 weeks.
I made it two and a half months until today.
The only relief I'm ever gonna get from this addiction is death.
I've been tempted as hell to buy a can of Cope. Its been since Feb 21st since I had a dip, but since my chick left I've been wanting to toss a dip in like crazy.
so day 3 exactly since my last one. i stopped at midnight on tuesday. i'm wide awake, my heart is racing, and i have the craziest anxiety to the point where my eye brows are frowned down. hopefully this is my body reacting to that i'm dead serious about quitting this time. i've already drank alcohal, drank coffee, farged my brains out, and eaten like its thanksgiving so all the hard cravings shouldn't be that big of a surprise when i get them. kiss my ass, cigs. and now of course i'll drop from melanoma from all the years on the beach without sun screen. winning.
My last cigarette was after the Eagles-Packers playoff game. My next cigarette will probably be sometime before the Eagles-Giants home opener.
Why not wait until the Eagles win the SB?
