    No More Butts...The Beginning..

    Awesome K9, I did it the same way you did...
    Cold turkey and ride it out, NF since December 31st 2012.

    AF with a few speed bumps during 2014 & 2015 but will succeed.

        :sofa:

        Getting ready to attempt serious quit number 5.

        I need to remember my own words from last week "cold turkey/white knuckle works best for me..." and it does...just gotta stick with it.

        Sorry, Fallen - I have NOT given up...just hit a glitch.

          Can I join you? I just quit yesterday. I have only (ha! only...) been smoking for past 7 - 8 years. Started up again when I started drinking. I quit way back when I was 18 (the first time) due to panic attacks, scared me straight so to speak. Similar thing happened this time, I feel my body is seriously unhappy with it. Now that I'm not drinking, I can actually be aware of the signals my body is giving me. Similar to the alcohol, I don't miss it (yet anyway). I think my body is just tired of the bullshit I've been putting it through and THAT can be a powerful tool if we let it. All the best in your Attempt #5!

            Perse...yes, please...let's do this together. I am embarrassed to admit all my failures. I have to say that giving up the cigs is WAY harder than alcohol...probably because the cigs don't make me act stupid and sleep with random men (see "You Know You're An Alcoholic When..." thread! LOL)

            I read somewhere that it takes an average of 6 SERIOUS tries to quit smoking. By George that means I should almost be done with this nonsense! I made it 81 days towards the end of last year. I seem to easily rack up 30-40 days, then bam!

            I'll be honest, my quit date is Monday, February 25, 2013. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it (this time!)

                Actually smoking was a lot harder for me to quit too. :l

                  Fallen - You've given me so much advice and words of wisdom...thank you!!

                  Fly - Thanks for the "lashing"....lord knows I need it! WHY can't they make a pill that gives you a reaction to nicotine like Antabuse does to alcohol??

                    K9, I agree...the effects of nicotine are much more subtle, though hard core damaging. My mom recently passed away from cancer related to excessive drinking and smoking for 50+ years...talk about a wake up call.

                    So, your target date is Monday...what do you do to prepare? (just curious )

                    And yes...a successful pill would be brilliant. Although my mom took one that caused pretty severe suicidal ideations; thinkin' it's not worth it! LOL!

                            Thanks Nora...I went home at lunch and it didn't even occur to me to smoke. Granted, I don't have ANY at home and if I did I probably would have! LOL

                            So that's the key...don't BUY any...no matter what!

                            6 HOURS AND 18 MINUTES...
