Originally posted by Nagis :p I've never heard of a bump from a thread being posted in after only a week.

Just because why make a new thread and disregard what everyone has already said? That's just me though...  
Seriously though, dude, you're doing amazing. I didn't expect you to stop cold turkey anyways, but that's because of your age. People around our ages (our = the board members) are at a tough time. There's so much stress, we're going to school, some working at the same time, and we're trying to find our own place in life pretty much...so add that stress to your quitting smoking? Yah...cold turkey would be too difficult and you may have ended up hurting yourself in the end. So, I'm UBER glad that you didn't do it that way, and as far as I can tell, you're doing wonderful! I've seen so many people try to quit smoking and one person that I can remember in my whole life, actually has. That's sad. =/ |

If its alright with the Staff, Im going to put a weekly update on my quitting situation.
so if I bump this thread, I promise ill put alot of imput on this. After all, Im quitting, and I wouldent mind sharing with you guys on this...May be able to help a few members here and there. 
Ok, Its been a week since my attempt, and all this week I have had 4 Cigarettes. Only time I would have them is before I would go to bed. So yeah, its kinda hard to quit cold Turkey. Day 3 was seriously hard. I had this "URGH" feeling right before I would go to bed...normally, a quick dip in the Hot Tub helped out alot, but I would still be awake feeling flustered. But the rest of my days, it was only one sig for me every 2 days. Just now I got done with a half a cig, Im saving the other half for down the road of a few days. Another thing that would help me during the day was lifting weights. Getting all of my frusteration out by lifting as much as possiable. The feeling was still there, but I had my mind on my fatigued legs rather than taking a puff.
So, this goes for week one, Week 2 consists of me heading to Washington....for a month |

Some places here sell gum for 35 cents a pack now. 
**nods** But yes...I too am proud that you're quitting. And I'm glad that you're not both a woman AND living with me. **eye twitches** I remember those times my mom tried quitting...She put my head through a screen door once. O_o |

Hmm... I must learn to read better. Well then, I was the first one to come up with chewing gum! Might I suggest Juicy fruit or Winterfresh? 
25 cents a pack, can't go wrong!  |

It's good you're quitting (or rather, trying to), smoking is a no-no for your health! May I recommend video games or pr0nz. Then you can have fun then just smoking on a cigarette.  |

Well I absolutely loved the music!!!
>_< No more generalizations! Bad form! ^_^ Anyways... yes... o.O I want a carrot stick... |

I am proud of you for quitting, I know it must not be easy.
Okay, quick message from staff: Take the music out. Never do it again, it's annoying everyone. |

There, I made it visible, so you can stop it. Now you just need to take it out of the quote |

Originally posted by Nagis The patch costs money for gum? Yeah, it's good that you quit. I don't mean to be one of those people, it is your body to do with what you wish. But seriously... |

The patch down here costs 45 dollars for a pack of 21 pieces of chewing gum.
Screw that. RIght now im doing alright...Not exactly "Jonesin" as some people call it... Honestly, I can be in a pissy mood sometimes...But it all goes away when I take my mind off of things...Like dear sweet Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. |

Originally posted by Xeojin I agree here with Xeo, another habit is a good thing to do, it will help you get cogs off yer mine.. or try to get one of those electric shock collars.. O_o evertime you think anything remotely about a cig.. BbbUUZZZZ lol a lil painfull.. but effective.. you will never want one again.. |

Originally posted by Xeojin Not too weird, a lot of people, like colossuss mentioned, try gum-chewing. While that isn't bad for your health, really, it CAN be annoying, so chew respectfully! I think the best thing to do is what you're doing. My father had tried to quit many times cold-turkey and failed. However, his most recent attempt has been more successful because he only smokes when he comes into town and sees his othe daughter.Not only that, but it saves him money because he always bums a cigarette off of her. TRUST ME, you are right in thinking this will be a money-saver! (I know someone who's been to Spain twice, greece, cruises, france, etc off of JUST the money they usually spent off of cigarettes!!!) |

I thought of that song too...
I would highly recommend the patch, or gum, or something like that. Few people can go cold turkey. My dad used to smoke, so I'll ask him how he quit when he comes down this weekend. Best of luck good luck to you. Oh, and maybe you could try finding a support group, kinda like AA? I'm sure they exist, and I bet they help. |

Carrot sticks will become your best friend. Either that, or your fingernails will. *shrugs* |

Although maybe it'd be a weird way to do this, but maybe try finding another habit? Whenever you feel like smoking, do something else. Drink some water, eat something, I don't know.
Just try making it so whenever you have the urge for one, do something else. |
