I havent had a sig for 12 hours now and im gonna take it one day at a time.
Its horrible tho, ive been smoking for 12 years and im not lookng forward to the next weeks and months. I do however have a record for finishing what i set out to do so i hope ill be able to this time to.
I would like some success stories from those of you that has managed to quit :)
I already miss that nice sig after breakfast and coffe....Lunch and dinner is comming up soon to :(
-
U are not drunken at the moment ? How come lol :)
-
Ya, been thinking about quitting an while now... been smoking daily for two years now i think...
But i dont know if im motivated enough right now... They are gonna ban smoking at bars/restaurants over here in a year and then i think i definitly will quit...
But right now i dont have the motivation...
-
I did smoke about 20 years (1-1,5 packets of Camels/day) and quit at sunday between christmas and new years eve.
I run out of cigs and I was too lazy to get out to buy more...
-
Hehe they are gonna ban smoking in bars and resturants here to this summer...
1 good point that i had not even thought about Maniac...thx :)
And no, im not drunk now and i usualy only party every other weekend. I am gonna slow down even more in a few months when the baby comes :D

I quit 3 years ago, after nearly 20 years of smoking, after reading Allen Carr's book The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140244751/qid=1075721025/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_11_7/026-2633839-4948424).
I tried to quit several times before - always a cold turkey nightmare, but after reading that book, I quit and it was surprisingly easy.
Best of all: I don't miss it, and if other people do it, it doesn't bother me - it smells a bit, but that's smoke for you. So I haven't turned into the holier-than-thou ex-smoker, a fate I always dreaded.
The book just cons you out of smoking by making you pay attention while you smoke - and you basically realize even the morning/nice-cup-of-tea-and-a-sit-down/after meal/with beer/after sex/or whatever "special cig" that you can't do without is actually no fun at all.
End result: I'm as certain as you can be in this uncertain universe that I won't smoke again.
So try it out - might work for you too - it worked for 4 out of the 5 people I know who read it.
-
Thx dead.
I got the best one ever tho.
My mom had cancer from smoking. She still has it but it has stopped growing and the tumor is "sleeping" now and has been that way for about a year.
Scary stuff.
-
Yeah G
I have snusa before, and if this gets to hard ill just get a box to relive myself :D
Ill try to avoid it, but id rather do that then to crawl back to the smokes.
Would be nice for my baby to be born into a 100% smokefree home and family :)
-
I quit about 2 years ago. Smoked for about 12 years prior to that. The easiest part about quiting for me was that I convinced myself they were making me sick and I'd feel much better without them.
No more morning cough.
No more "smoked waaaay too many cause I was drunk" sickness.
No more smoke scented clothing.
The hardest part was drinking, I always smoked more when I drank. Think it's that way for a lot of people. Basically I didn't go out for the first 2-3 weeks. After that I went out got plastered "tried" to smoke a cigarette and couldn't. By that time it tasted horrible and made me feel ill. So from that point I went on without em.
It's been my experience that giving yourself a good reason helps the process, it feeds the will power. Otherwise it can be a long hard road. I quit many times before that without much thought to reason and never more than a few weeks.
Good luck man

smoked 3 packs of non filtered camels a day for about 20 years. Quit a dozen years ago and have no desire to ever smoke again.
oddest thing.... while I have no desire to smoke... on occassion, a chew sounds good... not gonna do it but.... odd. I only chewed for a couple years...
lazs
-
I get the same urge lazs, agree it is odd since I barely did that for a year. Of course it probably doesn't help that my boss does.
-
seems to take a few years before we form new habits to replace the old habit/addiction but after that... you have to be an idiot to start again since there really is no urge.
There is no problem that you can have that smoking will improve.

nobody likes a quitter!!!!!!!!!!!!
jk GL in your endevor. I tried to quite a month ago and it nearly ended my marriage.

I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years....5 years ago I quit (on December 7th) and have not had one since. Used Zyban..worked like a charm. Good luck

Nilsen, snus helps a lot in beating the cancer-sticks.
Show some real self control and quit posting. :rofl
-
Thx for all the advice :)
............Just went out and bought me a pack. Its sitting on the TV and it will stay there.
-
Those of you that quit smoking, how much money do save a year that you use to spend on cigs?
-
20 pack (aprox what i smoke a day) costs almost 9$ here....you do the math :)
-
Having a beer and a smoke djust now...
Hows it feeling Nilsen? :D
-
Actually im starting to feel kinda crappy.
Started missing a sig bad after dinner so i went to the gym and that worked well until 2 hours after i finished.....but now :(
-
Smoked (before that Copenhagen) for several years. Finally quit about a 1 1/2 ago. Still miss them. Especially after meals or while grilling. But you get over it. And it's nice not waking up feeling like my lungs are full of goo.
-
Good luck, man! I've heard it's difficult, but worth it. My best wishes are with you, the health benefits significant!
-
Quitting smoking sucks. I smoked 2 packs a day and quit cold turkey. After numerous tries, it finally took pride to get me to quit. My buddies told me there was no way I'd ever succeed, since I never had in the past.
The resolve to prove them wrong was enough. That was 10 years ago. The key for me was to just do it one day at a time. Every day I'd decide I couldn't do it, so I'd promise myself I'd start back tomorrow, but I HAD to finish today smoke free. Just the thought of having that cig "tomorrow", got me through "today". Then I'd do it all over again.
-
Been 23 hours now and im counting hours, not days yet :D
Sucked bigtime after dinner. Rest of the day it has just plain sucked.
-
My Wife smoked for 30 years but quit cold turkey Jan 1st 2003. The previous year she had slowly backed off the amount she was smoking.
She hasn't slipped up and is still going strong.
-
Get the nicotine patches, they will help greatly in controlling the
urge to smoke. Then think of all the money you will save by not smoking.
-
Just started day2....not as bad as i had thought.....yet :)
Ive decided to do this without nicotine gum, patches or other remedies. It may be harder, but the nicotine addiction will also leave my body sooner i suspect.
Gsholz.....ill get a _snusboks_ for saturday just in case i get the urge bad when i drink.
-
Damn....today is BAD :eek:
Lol can't get anything done today.

You know what did it for my Dad, who smoked for 15 years? One of his friends is a nurse and would do presentations of the dangers of smoking. She had in a sealed case, 2 preserved lungs...one from a long time smoker and a healthy lung. My Dad could never get that image out of his head after that, knowing what his lungs could look like if he continued.
Kind of a "shock n awe" approach...but it worked, he's going on 20+ years free of em.
-
Lepaul. Dont really need that.....my mothers lungcancer is enough "shock and awe for me" :)
Im just gonna count the minutes and ride out the day. This has to be rock bottom....can't get any worse than this :)
-
will be bad the next 3 month. After that its getting better and better. I quit 2 years ago and i am done with it. Totally.
-
I actually feel good today...looks like the worst is over.
Its prolly far from over, but im able to function as human again and my gf spotted a ---> :) on my face this morning for the first time since sunday night.
-
Good for you Nilsen10. Im down to a pack a week or almost myself. Thats from being a pack a day chain smoker. Dont have as much craving as I used to because I've set it in my head that Im gonna quit. I'm ultimately gonna stop smoking completely.
:aok
-
Outstanding 212 :aok
Don't think I have enough selfcontrol to just reduce the numbers. I have tried it that way but i always seemed to gradually increase thenumbers again. I had to just stop.
Don't think there is one single way thats easyer, so if it works for you then its :aok
Good luck dude, lemme know how when you finally quit them :)
-
WTG Nilsen !
Just look out for the party trap, when you get drunk and thinking ahh what the heck 1 sig cant hurt can it?, and from there we go... :)
I need to quit that stinking habbit too, once in the future or somthing like that :D (yeah you can hear how motivated I am grr)
but saving 3000$ a year should help motivat me too.
-
Thx Airguard :)
Comming your way soon btw, well almost... Kvitfjell in March 5-7th
-

Been there and raced down, dont know if you been there before but those hills are steep. You can standup and lean toward the racetrack (must be about 70-60 degree).

-
Yeah, going for the WC races. I have been there every year since 94 i belive.

The 60-70 deg parts you are refering to are prolly Bukkespranget, Russispranget and Winterhogget (64%).... Dont remeber all the degrees but its pretty scary to to go down and not "ploge" :D :D

I only smoke after a few beers, and I had, had a few.
My wife made me a cup of coffee this morning, and so I went outside, coffee steaming, to enjoy a smoke and reflect about things only philosophers reflect upon.
Anyway, it was a crisp, clear morning air, and I lit a cigarette. It tasted so good. Cheesecake good. The wisps of smoke cut through the clean stale air and it smelled like only a fresh lit camel can. Even better than the nicotine rush that went sudden and all threw my veins. Almost a high.
Then I smoked the whole pack philoserifing about womens tennis.

Here ya go, Nielsen. Count your blessings.

Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Introduction by Steve Dunn
xxxx xxxxxxxwas an extraordinary person.
Although he died of his cancer in May 1997, he not only far outlived his prognosis, but he also inspired many people with his ability live fully even with such a serious disease, his sense of humor, and his willingness to help others despite his own situation. What follows is Chuck's story in his own words from May 1995 with an update in 1996.
DIAGNOSIS
I first suspected that something was wrong over a year ago. I could feel a swelling above the sternum. After an appointment with my local doctor I was referred to several doctors and ended up at in a surgeon's office at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville. The surgeon was to see me at 1:00 PM after I had a CT Scan. I never met him because while I was waiting in his reception room a young nurse's aid came out and asked who was Mr. Crawford. She told me that I would not be seeing the surgeon today but he has made an appointment for me to see Dr. Murphy at 3:00 O'clock. "Who's Dr. Murphy?" I asked and she told me he was an oncologist. I didn't know what an oncologist was so I asked her what an oncologist does. She responded, "Oh, he treats cancer." "Cancer ... Cancer!" I shouted and jumped to my feet and started pacing around the reception room full of people. "Cancer!" I shouted. "You're telling me I've got Cancer.....Sara, What am I going to do?" The people in the reception room must have had strange reactions to this man running up and down the isle shouting, "Cancer...Cancer!" I'm sure this is not what the doctor intended for his patients waiting to see him.
The next two hours were the longest two hours I have ever spent. I was terrified of the thought that I had cancer. When I finally saw Dr. Murphy he was kind and patient. He carefully explained to me what he had seen in the CT scan and in his opinion the tumor was malignant. He said it had invaded the surrounding tissues and it would not do that if it was benign. He said he would need a biopsy to be sure. He suggested that we would probably start radiation treatments after the biopsy and the final diagnosis was made. He also suggested that I visit the Cancer Center on the lower level of the Hospital where the radiation treatment would be given. I was terrified. I looked at my wife, Sara, and said, "I want to go home, I don't want to visit the Cancer Center." Dr. Murphy was understanding and suggested to Sara that she take me home.
THREE BAD DAYS
My memory is missing for the next three days. Somewhere in there I had the biopsy done and I guess we visited the doctors office. I was scared stiff. I paced around the house all night and after a day or so became catatonic. Now I know what they mean by "Scared stiff." All I could do was sit in a recliner. I could hardly swallow and Sara worked to get nourishment in me. Our friend, Diane, was at the house with her father, Buddy within an hour of learning of my diagnosis. She brought a juicer and books on nutrition. Sara decided that she would concentrate on the nutrition factor. She studied the books and came up with a nutrition game plan. She fed me milk shakes with raw eggs and protein powder and who knows what else in them. The doctors told her that they had to snap me out of it or the catatonic state would lead to pneumonia and I could die from it. During the days I would escape from the house and wander around town or try to go to work. Friends and fellow workers would bring me home and Sara would acknowledge that I had escaped again. At night I would pace the floor. I remember wishing the sun would rise. I dreaded the night time. But, it only lasted for three days. The diagnosis was confirmed as stage IIIb squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and we were ready to start treatments. I began to see some daylight and the stiffness disappeared. The tumor was about two inches in diameter in the mediastinum and was protruding from above the sternum. It had invaded the lymphatic system and the sternum. It was inoperable.
TREATMENTS
I had radiation treatments five days a week for 6 weeks. I didn't have many side effects from radiation but this was mostly due to the job my wife, Sara, did in maintaining my nutrition. Most people lose 30 to 50 pounds during a radiation series. I gained nearly 20 pounds. The doctors and nurses would laugh as they weighed me. My spirits were picking up rapidly. I got to know the people at the cancer center and looked forward to going in for my treatments every day. I worked full time while taking treatments. I also attended aerobics classes three times a week and taught classes at the local community college
PROGNOSIS
When the radiation series was completed they sent me back to Dr. Murphy for consultation. I had never really asked or understood my prognosis. I asked Dr. Murphy what my chances were. He said, "Without further treatment you have no chance of survival and six to twelve months to live." "What about with additional treatment?" I asked feeling that additional treatment would make a great difference. He went on, "With additional treatment you can expect to live twelve to eighteen months ... I think you have about a year to live." he said. I paused for a moment. I didn't expect to hear that the time was so short. Then, I thought about Sara sitting there listening to this. "Are you OK, Sara," I asked. She responded that she was. I turned to Dr. Murphy. "I'm not afraid of dying," I said. He put his hand on my arm. "That's good," he said. As I sat there a feeling of peace came over me. It seemed strange even to me. The doctor had just told me that I had only a few months to live and I was at peace. Why didn't I panic?
BUYING SOME TIME...
Dr. Murphy told me that the chemo would be "hard". I asked what he meant by hard and he indicated that the side effects could be difficult to cope with. It wasn't too bad. I would take chemo on Fridays and would be sick on Saturdays, better on Sunday so that I could go to church and back to work on Mondays. I was a little puny on Mondays but I was back on the job and I really didn't miss much work. I had to spend the entire day at the doctor's office because I was taking cisplatin and it could damage the kidneys and liver. They spent the entire day flushing me out with IVs. I would push the iv stand around the doctors office and get involved in things. On one occasion., they were having a staff meeting and I wandered into the room. The explained that they were having a staff meeting. I asked if I could join them. They looked a little surprised and then said OK, I guess so. I learned a lot about how the office operated. Of course, they thought I was crazy but they put up with me. I was cleaning things up around the office one day and the receptionist said, "Hey, Mr. Crawford, when your done putting things away, how about going down stairs and washing my car? Chemo lasted about 5 months and then I was on my own. Dr. Murphy told me to come back in three months and sent me on my way. That was about a year ago and I have had good news on each visit to Dr. Murphy's office. On one of the visits, I made up my mind that I was going to read my entire file no matter what. I waited until the nurses were not watching and took the file from the rack in the hall outside my room. I was reading it when the nurse came in and told me she had been looking for the file. "Oh, I'm checking the rads," I said. She looked puzzled and left the room without the file. I finished reading the it and then put it back in the rack. I have been at peace since my diagnoses and my prognosis and I understand a lot of things that I would not understand if I had not read the file. Some parts of it were somewhat scary, but I wanted to know the whole story.
LIFE GOES ON
People think I have a weird sense of humor but I started finding humor in the things I was experiencing. I even found ways to make people laugh about my prognosis. The stories I told are all real life experiences like the time the hospice lady was looking for me at the bank. I had moved my office up to the second floor and when she inquired about me, they told her "he's moved upstairs." She paused and looked down. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said. "No, no" shouted Denise, "he's OK, he just moved his office to the second floor. I started giving humorous and spiritual talks to local church and civic groups. People didn't know what to make of me at first. Here was this guy with a terminal illness telling jokes. Well, the doctor still says I have a poor prognosis but I am at peace, working every day, going to aerobics, feeling good, in good spirits and enjoying life.
... UPDATE ...
NOVEMBER, 1996
Well.......I ain't dead yet!!!!!
It's been almost three years since I was diagnosed with lung cancer and I'm doing fine. The two tumors in my lungs and sternum are gone. The cancer that had spread to the lymph glands has not metastasized and there is no evidence of cancer in me. I'm in full remission with no symptoms, no treatments and no medication. I'm working full time at a bank, teaching at the local community college, active in several civic and church organizations and go to aerobics classes three times a week. My prognosis is still not good and I'm prepared to accept whatever comes next. I just live one day at a time and am thankful for each day that I have with my family.

Update.
Still a non-smoker :)
Anyone else quit after I did in 2004?
-
i quit.
i am still quit.
kick it's everloving bellybutton nilsen.
good luck.
:aok

Congrats Nilsen!
Always good to see smokers quit. I lost my father when I was 2 to a heart attack related to smoking and now I'm watching my brother do the same thing to himself.
The only thing I have quit since 2004 was being a horrible a pilot...but thats a hard habit to kick.

A real good friend of mine used to smoke. A pack and a half a day, it was funny because we would be driveing around and he would pull other by some bunches get out and smoke in the rain snow 20 degree weather etc(he hates the smell of smoke in cars:lol ). So one day i asked him, "why do u smoke, what does it really do for u". He looked at me and said nothin, it doesnt help when im stressed and all it does is waste my money. He stoped right there and hasnt smoked since. Funny thing is that i smoke cigars now. BUt i ask myself the same question and came up wit the same answer. If i smoke now its when im reallyy bored and it might be once every couple of months.
I dont know how anybody can smoke with those anti smokein commericals on tv, the guy wit the hole in his neck buggs me out.

wtg 88 :aok
You seem to be alive Curval so atleast your flying skills have not gotten worse.... Ill take your word for it. ;)
Feels good to have gotten the crap out of my system and beeing "clean" for 2,5 years have sertainly done wonders for my health. Didnt feel like the smoking had done anything to my health, but now that i dont smoke anymore I have noticed some real difference.
More energy, less drinking actually and my skin has gotten real soft and more color. That last part is actually the biggest visible improvement.
I havent noticed any improvment in my teeth, but my dentist has commented on how much cleaner everything is in there. I also like some other foods that I didnt enjoy as much before so i guess what foods and flavors tastes like have changed too.
I do less workout, but it makes more difference now than when i smoked so im a winner.
I do enjoy a cigar one or two times a month with some Havana Club 7, and the odd cigarette when i have a drink, but its not something i then miss when i wake up the next day. I would say that i maybe have smoked 50-100 of them over the laste 2,5 years while drunk.
-
The trick is, if you want to quit you will quit... if you HAVE TO qiut - it won't happened.
After 11 years of smoking i quit because i wanted... then after 2 years off i wanted to smoke again (my life changed) and i started to smoke... then another 3 years passed and i quit again... then i changed the job, and realised, that the only thing i can do, to have some time off during the work hour is to go out for a cig (1-2 per day) so i started to smoke again and i enjoyed it.
Then my daughter apeared ;) I dont' want her to remember THAT dads smell, so i quit again, but once for a while (like a week or a month) i'm smoking few cigs when i'm sure my lil one won't smell it, but now i'm starting to thing about my health... i wish i enjoy my family for a long time, so...

WTFG Nils! Happy for ya, and you'll never regret it. My old man smoked Pall Mall Red Non-Filters for 37 years, he regrets not having the willpower to quit sooner.

I quit 6 weeks ago. I've cheated a couple times, usually while drinking with friends that smoke, but I'm averaging less than 2 cigarettes a week, which I think is acceptable.
BTW Nilsen, how many quits does this make for you? It's gotta be at least half a dozen for me.

Only once Neubob.
I had to give them up for just about a week back in 94 during "hell week" at the Officer Candidate School/Navy but as soon as that was done with i got right back on em.

I quit for good on Feb 1, 2003 (no relation to the Columbia accident) and have not touched any form of nicotine since. I can't tell you how good it feels to not be a slave to cigarettes.
Congratulations to you guys who have quit. As a former smoker, I fully appreciate what it takes.
-
For those of you that quit....did you notice any weight gain? As of now thats the only thing keeping me from quitting....terrible logic I know.
-
I am going out for a smoke break.
-
like I said.... smoked 3 packs a day of unfiltered camels for decades.... Never noticed any ill effects except slightly sore throat once in a great while and some throat clearing issues.... no lack of wind etc.
I quit because I didn't like the dependency.
It was not that difficult.... least..... no compared to how some would tell you.... any person with normal will power could easily do it.

I quit about 2-3 years ago. Not my first attempt, but this time it worked.
Now it does not bother me to be in a group where ppl smoke. I have no urge for a cigaret. It is great :aok
I have smoked one or two cigarets when drunk, and I have no urge to smoke the next day. That is also great :aok
Before, even if I had not smoked for a year, it took just one cigaret to be hooked again ! Smoked at a party and had to buy a pack the next day.
But now I feel that I am in total controll about smoking.
Yesterday I had a tooth removed. The dentist gave me instructions how to heal, and mentioned that I should not smoke, but that he can see that I am not a smoker. That was nice to hear :D
Tho it will take some years, before my lungs are cleaned from all the cigarets I have smoked during my life :(
Before I tested the nicotin patch and gum, did not work for me at all.
But the nicotin "mints" worked great. When I was at work, and got that "I want a cigaret" feeling, I took the tablet, and 15sec later, I forgot all about it.
One week later, no need for the nicotin mints.
I was a smoker for 25 years. Tried to quit for 10 years !
Yes ten (10) years ! My longest period of not smoking was 1 year, but all it took was ONE cigaret, and I was hooked again !
But now I do not have that problem. Even if I smoke when drunk, I have no interest to continue smokeing.
(I strongly recomend not to party smoke, cos it has destroyed 4-5 attempts to stop smokeing for me!)
I did pray for help this time, and I realy think it helped, cos I am realy amazed how easy it was to finaly quit.
I hope all of you who like to quit will succed, cos its a great feeling being in controll of your own body / mind.
Nicotin effects your brain directly. It is a physical thing. It is as strong a feeling as hunger / thirst and you know what.
Be in controll ! Give nicotin the finger ;) You can do it !

:aok
I read some where that the amount of cigarets smoked is not that important.
Even if one smokes just one cigaret a day, you may get same amount of damage as if you smoke a whole pack !
Cant remember where I read this 2 years ago, but is very suppricing.
So one can "feel good" smoking less, but actualy it does not help the healt at all !
I also used to smoke those light cigarets. Turns out that those generally make more damage, as ppl tend to inhale it deaper into their lungs, to get that nicotne.

My Wife quit 8 years ago on New Year's Eve and has not touched one sense. A few years ago, I thought, "Ok, it's the least I can do. I will try". Now I never told her I was going to quit.
So, one week later she walks in with a carton and tells me, "You may not live as long, but the time will be better spent." and tosses them at me.
I thought I was doing well. Guess I did get a bit edgy.

Very intellegent wife....I gave up cigarettes because they were over 25 bucks a carton and it was mostly tax. I now smoke 50 dollar Cuban Cohibas. Go figure. They just go good with Johnie Walker Red .

I started smokeing when I was 15, I quit when I was 21 and found out I was pregnant, going on 5 years now without one.
