Quitting smoking (HONEST!!) - Page 11

You could take a small dose of strychnine daily as opposed to smokeing and it would be healthier.

The Stickey here is just as good of a support site as anywhere else.

Best of all it's free! And as we all know anything free is worth saving up for...

I have heard three weeks and I've heard much longer, I've also heard it was about five days, that would make sense as when people I have known have tried to stop, that's about the time some of them have a cigarrette 'just to check'. Has anyone else done that - smoked one just to see if they are over them?

If you take arsenic in small doses and gradually up the intake you will develop a resistance to it. I read about it in a Sherlock Holmes mystery book.

I've never smoked in my life, unless secondary smoking counts, but I am trying to cut down on my coffee intake down to about three cups/day. So far so good.

Her cooking must give you insomnia. You have been on line today forever Jim. And I should talk. It's 3am here and I booted up and came here off and on since 10 am this morning.

But we have so much fun.

From what I understand just trying one is enough to get a smoker going again. It is the mind game. I can have just one and no more. I have quit and it will not hurt. After the first the smoker says not so bad how about another. Then it goes to more and more. It is recommended to just stay away. I can say with honesty that this has happened to me three times.

I have had spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung) three times. Two times on my left and once on my right. A hospital stay with chest tube to help the hole in the lung heal is 7-10 days. Of course you can not smoke in a hospitals therefore, laying there for that long rids any physical or mental thought of a cigarette. All three times I have come home and have not smoked anywhere from 2-3 months. Then I pick up just one, then two, then three and then a pack. I'm right back at time. It is best to say no, not interested.

Yeah. Kicking the physical jones is the easy part. It's the psychological addiction that is the real battle, and in that patches and gum do not help.

I turn 50 this year and it's been 1 Year 10 months since my last dose of nicotine. Only 23 more years to go and i'll have been a non smoker for over half my lifetime.

How are you guys doing? I agree with August here but I think you also need something to "click" in your mind.

Keep it up.

Jimbuna · 06-03-09, 07:47 AM

I'm now on day three without a fag....but if I'm to be totally honest, I do curently suffer from a chest infection

McBeck · 06-03-09, 07:52 AM

Yeah...its funny how you realy dont need a smoke when you are sick

AVGWarhawk · 06-03-09, 07:52 AM

Tomorrow will be week number 2. I believe it is correct that pulling one self from any form of nicotine is the only way to go. Yes, something needs to click in your mind. The book McBeck offered up worked for me plus the fact of coughing and generally knowingly killing myself smoking.

The worst part was waking in the morning and wanting that first cigarette. I'm now over that and good to go!
