0 Guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I tried it - one puff - it was easy to stop I wonder why people suffer pressure to do it, either by example of coolness or the big push #It's a bad drug but it's tax is useful - expensive coffin nails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Dang. Am I the only one here that ever smoked? Guess that makes me the dumbest person on this forum Oh well. At least I'm honest about it As for giving up, I'd say it's all about having a good reason. If you really want to stop smoking, you'll stop. If you don't really want to, you won't. If it's January 1st and you've decided to "try to give up", forget it. You've failed before you even started. Me, I stopped smoking when I found out my sister was pregnant, so I was going to be an uncle. Apart from setting a good example to the kid, I wanted to shame her and her bloke into giving up. And it worked. I stopped smoking the moment she told me on the phone. No last ciggy. No ceremony. I just stopped smoking. I made a decision and told myself that if I went back on it I'd be betraying that kid. Of course I was ready to give up anyway. I resented the fact that smoking was starting to get a hold on me and I just needed the right excuse. But when I made the decision I knew it was final. Do, or do not. There is no 'try'.

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Do, or do not. There is no 'try'. Yoda I think that is the way to quit. I've not smoked but thats what i did with alcohol. You either do or don't. To try is an opt out to make you feel better with failure (putting it icnredibly bluntly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 watching my mom die due to her 4 pack a day habit was cause enough for me. it made me realize that she loved cigarettes more than me, her only child and i felt there was no way i could be that selfish. it was easy. yes i still get cravings but then I think about my mom dead at 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 unreality Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 that sucks man... but at least you learned and can set examples unreality's lesson of the day: DON'T SMOKE! DON'T DO DRUGS! EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 akaslickster Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I thought it was gonna be difficult to stop. My co-worker was doing the patch for a year and she started up again. I should quit buying smokes. I can eat like a pig to kill cravings and not think about smoking so, I'm lucky that I can stop when I want. My next feat will be to quit for good(forever). I know I can. But this spare tire needs some sit-ups. I'm the skinny guy with the beer gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
