I've been taking all the vitamins/supps and have been exercising. I'm glad to be at the end of day 7.... the alcohol and nicotine are out of my system, now it's all mental.

Never again,

Good for you Chief! Keep up the good work!

I am on day 5 of quitting smoking and am finding it heaps harder than quitting drinking!!! I mean I didn't drink ALL the time I was awake like I smoked and it is also my last crutch to deal with this fecking raw deal life seems to be dealing me atm. lol! Now, My only escape from reality is trashy paranormal novels. Which I highly recommend.
PEACEOUT!!!!

I only smoked on and off about 25 years ago, never found it hard to quit. Since then, for about 20 years, I could smoke one or 2 every other month and it never sent me into a tailspin, like drinking does. I guess somehow I never was really addicted to amoking.

I agree with endoftheline, smoking is much more stigmatized and discouraged now. Drinking, unfortunately, is still glamorized. That may make it easier for some to just stop smoking. However for others that are really hooked on sigs, it just makes it more of the "forbidden fruit" that makes you want to more.

I'm on day 8 of not smoking and I am finding that it does get easier each day. I just want to be free from any type of addiction!
