elementx Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Exactly 1 Year ago today I smoked my last cigarette. Sorry I have to tap myself on the back for this. I know there are many people who will respond with something negative or sarcastic about my accomplishment. BUt I just figured I would let everyone who is actually trying to do it. It is possible. I used to smoke 2 + packs a day. On an average day. And when I partied it was more... I feel a whole hell of alot better. Loaded with energy. And I saved a fortune in the past year. Instead of spending the money on cigarettes. I put extra money into my 401K at work and my companies stock. And of course a little extra into savings. That is all... And good luck to anyone else who is attempting. It is possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoked for 9 Years. From when I was 14 till I was 23. Yeah I was pretty bad. But I went on the patch for about 1+1/2 months. And dropped the habbit all together.

elementx Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Originally posted by joeg yeah, people gotta do that shit on their own... i have a friend whos quittin and i'm damn proud of him... You are right. People tried to get me to quit for the longest. When people finally left me alone. I woke up one day and just figured that it was the last day I would smoke. And that was it. I tried to quit once before when my Grandfather Passed from Lung Cancer. That only lasted 1 Month. So in reality the person has to decide on there own. And they really have to want to do it. Basically you have to get to the point that you cannot stand the habbit yourself. And anyone in my eyes can quit when it gets to that point. One of the main things that I recommend for anyone who tries to quit. Try to cut out things that you associate with smoking. Only for a short time. Cause it cuts down on the urges a little bit. Example - Drinking. Also after meals chew on a piece of gum. Or put a tooth pic in your mouth. That is one of the things that helped. I went through toothpics for some time.

I thought that drinking would be my downfall. But believe it of not. I don't think about it at all when I drink. Actually I believe I had more urges when I was sober. Then when I was drunk. Go figure. But if you are only smoking when you drink that is great as well. At least you cut it out of most of your life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
