Smoking

[tgzerozone]

Thought with the good gains I'm making, maybe I should quit smoking. So yea, wish me luck. Had the last one last night and have the shakes today. hehe.

Always best to quit bro. How many you usually smoke/day and for how long?

[tgzerozone]

20-30 a day, about 12 years.

Nice bro, good luck. Any aids (patches, gums) to quit, or trying cold turkey?

Just using these electric ciggies for now, not sure if it will help.

I suggest you go and get a copy of Allan Carr's easy way method. The books is fucking amazing.

[tgzerozone]

Agree 100% AgentOrange. I read his book and quit for a year. Still kicking my own ass for starting again. Was cold turkey, just the book.

I read the book 8 years ago and stoped completely. Eventually I started having the odd ciggy when I was drunk and now it's continued like that for the last few years. I don't drink very often so I often go extended periods without smoking which is better than everyday, i can kinda live with it but I'd prefer i didn't do it at all.

I wish they would just outlaw the fucking things.

Good stuff AO. Alan Carr's book helped me also.

The most important change I made was that I consciously decided not to hang around with other people who smoked. That made it easy for me to quit.

Good for you bro- hope it goes well! Make sure you surround yourself with positive people. :nod:

[Jpayer]

Me too!

The mrs made me do it! And I wanted to do it.

Finding it pretty easy.

I just find what I associate smoking with, for example when I smoke I go on my balcony because I like being out there but only go there to smoke, so I found something else to do in the same area.

I now BBQ on the balcony instead of smoking on it, and I drink coffee on the balcony instead of a cigarette.

Working so far, not missing it at all.

Best of luck quitting. Enjoy the benefits of being a non smoker

That must be expensive :shock:

Not sure if the products around anymore but i used Nicobrevin 10 years ago and havent had a smoke since. Cold turkey and there is no nicotine in the product, all natural. Best thing you can ever do man, nasty habit.
