Congratulations... I hope you succeed.

 

congrats!
i quit about 4 days ago..
i feel kinda bad for the people i work with.. i have a feeling ive been a biatch

 

It's an inevitable part of the process. Congratulations and good luck to you as well.

 

Congrats.

I went three weeks without a cigarette.

Then, I chose to buy a pack of Newports.

Do I feel bad about it?

Not really.

But good luck to you. I understand how hard of a struggle it is.

If you are still off the cigs a month from now, change your name to Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and you have won.

 

thanks john

 

newports are what i smoked for about 4 years.. then i was broke and bout Basic Menthols... and never smoked another menthol again.

 

You are never free from the burden. I've quit for stretches of 3-4 months on a few different occasions. I'm still a smoker.

signed,
former 3 pack a day to 1 pack a day and currently ~1/2 pack on week day smoker

Best of luck OP

 

ya its been hard but less hard as usual with the patch. Ive tried quitting many times one time even for 2 months n I started again , not even for the craving just cuz I liked it. but Ive been coughign more lately n find yellow teeth unappealing.

 

Crazy, I finally took the plunge 2 days ago. I have been smoking maybe 10 years and I am only 24, so that's probably not so good. For a couple years, in my rebellious late teens, I had a pretty heavy habit.

I was standing around smoking cheap cigarette tobacco outside a club the other night, as all my other friends were inside NOT smoking, and I couldn't help think how futile it was. The stuff tasted horrid, and I was hurrying through it to just get back inside.

Makes you wonder why you even decided to go out for a fag in the first place.

 

Every now and then...

I buy a pack of Newports...

After smoking one or two of them, I give the rest away...

Just to prove to myself that I don't need them.

 

I would do that once, but man that's an expensive way of self gratification

 

i agree. :/

 

In the past, when I struggled with quitting weed...

I'd buy a half ounce...

My conscience would tell me that I didn't need it.

And, just like that, I'd throw away a half ounce of weed.

When I would finally give in to my urge -- perhaps three or four days later -- I'd return to the very spot on the side of the road where I left it...

Most times, it was still there.

People walk with their noses up and never discover the treasures before their eyes.

Praise God!

 

Next time you have the urge to throw away the half ounce I invite you to these here parts as my walking has eyes cast downward... and I wouldn't miss such a treasure.

Of course I'd share when you changed your mind... assuming you knew where to locate me!

 

That's either the most stupendous thing, or the most stupefying I have ever heard

 

damn I second stinkfoot man lol
and congratulations and good luck to all the quitters!!!~*~

I don't see myself ever having a reason to stop smoking cannabis, but cigarettes are nasty and I am happy for all who have chosen to move on and leave the habit behind!!!!!! I never understood the appeal to cigarettes to begin with, really. I love the act of smoking in and of itself, but there are tons of other things to smoke that aren't all nasty and addictive lol... so yeah just my two cents (first time I've ever used that phrase that I can remember lol)

 

congrats wish i could give the up too

 

i quit 6 yrs. ago. first time since i was like 8yrs old. not all the time at eight. but a few times aweek.hope ya make it. i feel a holr lot better. i tripled my pot intake at the time. i don't smoke that much now. good luck
