Her words made me good one not like my dad. Now i'm 24 & still following her words & first of all i mostly dislike these things. I don't want make her sad.

I'm the same, want to stop, but don't want to stop. The difference is, i can happily go days without one, last week when i wasn't feeling to great, i never had one for 6 days. i had 1 yesterday and haven't had one today. Breaking the routine is the key in my opinion. I used to have one with a cup of tea after my breakfast offshore, before i went through to my office. Last trip i broke that cycle. At home i usually have one with a can of Red Bull just to kickstart the day, and that would usually be the only one of the day, if i wasn't going anywhere or doing anything. The biggest problem is at home...........introduce beer and its game over, especially when the weather is fine, and you happily go outside and sit in the sun.

GOOD FOR YOU! I smoked a pack and a half a day for years. I quit smoking January 1, 1991. I quit 'cold turkey', with no patches, hypnosis, or drugs. I realized very quickly that if I ever smoked another cigarrette, I would begin a never-ending cycle of quitting and relapsing. Suggestions: 1. Drink lots of water and/or fruit juice. 2. Toss out all of the ash trays, lighters, and other paraphernalia. 3. Clean and vacuum the car. If you can, get it detailed where they will clean the upholstery. 4. Stay away from your old hangouts where you smoked. The physical symptoms of nicotine withdrawal fade in 7-10 days. The mental withdrawal takes a lot longer, I'm afraid. In my case, I substituted a positive addiction for a negative one: I became a runner. I now run 15-20 miles a week. I'm old, fat, and slow, but at least I don't wheeze going up and down steps. The dumbest fucking thing I ever did in my life was start smoking, and quitting was one of the smartest.

Fantastic! In my books, that act is a brawny display of confidence and inner strength. :thumbsup:

I've never smoked, but a lot of people I know stopped smoking this year, as the price of cigarettes nearly doubled on the night of December 31st. They have also stated that this book proved helpful.

Alcohol is about the worst thing you can do, at least for me that would be the case. I always smoke more when drinking so... Best thing is keep your mind busy and away from thinking about it.

Thanks :-\. I've been running for 18 years now. I've run two marathons, several half marathons, and more shorter races than I can remember. I've probably run somewhere around 12-15,000 miles in training. Some people find it hard to believe, but I actively enjoy doing this.

Take a puff of that golden tobacco leaf. Imagine the soothing flow of tingling sensations of that uplifting smoke and the very real satisfaction it gives you seconds after. The fresh smell of a newly opened pack of cigarettes, packing them down, pulling one out, and sparking it up. Breath in, breath out, ahhhhh... In all seriousness, try Swedish snus.

On Friday it will be a year since I stopped. I was 32 then and started when I was 15. I dont know how much of an incentive it is but waking up in the morning, not coughing and not rushing outside to have a ciggy is fantastic.

You tried to pull the same stunt with me when I made a similar post a year ago. Guess what fucktard? I still don't smoke :)

I lived in a rural village when i gave up smoking, having a drink meant I couldn't drive which meant no access to cigarettes
