I've always been a fan of "spicey V8".  I just went to Stop & Shop and bought a 48 pack.  They will be my new butts.  I'm really glad I am going forward with this though, and I appreciate your support.

hang in there.  if you have gone this far you have what it takes to make it permanent.

keep it up!!! way to go!!!!



In adition to drinking lots of water, DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING WITH CAFFINE IN IT!!!! Caffine can and most likely will trigger a craving for a smoke. Alchohol should be avoided as well. Sport drinks are ok, but ice water is the best thing. In addition to flushing your system it will also help maintain your weight or even help you loose a little weight. Keep a big jug of water in your fridge and add ice before you drink it. As it enters your system it cools your bodies core temp and causes you to burn more calories trying to warm back up.

Best of luck to you guys trying to quit. I did for a couple of years and then started again. Pretty stupid thing to do and I need to quit again since I have already had one heart attack. Going to try Zyban this tima around and see if that will help. I have my appointment with the doctor in 2 weeks so wish me luck.

Yea looks like its getting on time for me to try to give it up also

I dont even enjoy it anymore. Between that and the prices $6+ per pack here in Jersey. Its getting to the point I cant even afford it anymore.


Thing is. it never seems ot fail.
Right when I think Im about ready to quit.

someone pesters me or tries to lay some sort of guilt trip on me about smoking.
And for some reason as soon as that happens. It just makes me want to smoke more.
I dont know why. but it does.

I guess maybe cause I know it has to be in my own time and on my own terms.
And if I do it I do it. and if I fail I fail.
but its gotta be on MY own terms

I just hate whe people pester me about something. It just makes me want to do it all the less.

Dreidlock, I totally agree...Smoking, and even moresoe, the military.  Whenever anyone tells me how stupid I am too smoke, or how "I really don't want to go into the military....just not now" blablabla, it pisses me off to no end.  I try and kindly tell them that I appreciate their concern, and their single comment will suffice, but most of the time they continue to try and lecture me, and it is the most annoying thing on earth.

Hmmm, or maybe treat yourself to your favorite beer or drink after your successful 1st week.   Smoking while drinking is one of hardest habits to break and the booze makes you weak.  IF you go into it realizing what the battle is gong to be, you can start to train yourself.  Dont go to a party after your 3rd week off of cigaretts without practice in the booze-n-cig divorce.

Been a year for me, and I have dreams of smoking.  Cigarettes dancing around my dreams like efelumps and woozles.

On the bright side:
Once you get to the point you can drink a beer without a smoking fit, the beer is 100 times better.

heh, I'm exactly the same way, it still pisses me off that there is a special "waiting on the short bus" area for smokers at work now.  

"Quit smoking now" commercials drive me to distraction.

I quit about 10 years ago.  I relapsed about three or four times after several months, and once after about a year I think.   After the third time, I was certain that nicotine is addictive.  I quit without patches or any aids, which probably would have helped.

Good luck with your quitting and don't get discouraged if you relapse.  Part of my issue was really understanding nicotine addiction. It's subtle.  I remember dreams about smoking for at least five years after quitting.

Day four and mentally i'm holding up extremely well...I have no mental craving for a butt what so ever.  Physical effects are still very strong though.  Headache is still constant, and I find I am now constantly hungry.  I'm doing like everyone said and consuming massive amounts of water and V8 juice to crave the hunger and clean out the system.  Furthermore, I did a complete clean out of my car today.  Took me a couple hours, but the inside looks and smells like it's right out of the dealership.  I think this is important to me because this is a place I would ALWAYS smoke, and changing the routine may help.

thanks again

Day four for me too. Been smoking for twenty plus years. But I promised my Grandson I would quit, and when the urge becomes strong I think of him. It helps, alot. I've cleaned my office top to bottm, and my car, to get rid of the smell. I'm looking forward to this summer being smoke free. You can do it Cav, just gotta stay focused, and get out of the routine. I've found that when the cravings strike their hardest, If I settle myself and perform deep breathing exercises, it helps tremendously.

Went to buy some smokes the other day.  4 packs came up to $20.61.

WHAT????

"The state added a buck to every pack, sir, starting January 1st."

Ok, fine, I'll take 2 and smoke them very, very slowly.

I figure it's my incentive to quit.

Yeah I know, a chick**** excuse, "money", but it's better than nothing.

Good luck to all, I'm right behind you.
