Day Four of No Smoking

[The Notorious LOL]

I am fairly irritable even with the nasty ass gum to chew. God damn.

Nobody likes a quitter. Shit, that reminds me. I'm scheduled to try to quit smoking again soon.

Good on you.

Stay at it! (y)

[The Notorious LOL]

at four months I will get all cocky and mock the smokers who have trouble quitting.

[Waus]

How much did you smoke before you started quitting?

[The Notorious LOL]

it varied. anywhere from one to two packs a day. At its highest maybe 5 years ago I would occasionally smoke 3 packs a day.


been smoking since I was 18, so 7 years.

[QueenAdrock]

Yay, Nick!

Aren't you and Lara quitting together? I dunno, I think I read something when I was stalking your myspace. Either way, good for the both of ye. (y)

[Waus]

One of the most bizarre things to me is 'who smokes.' Like, finding out that your pastor smokes or your cousin. Still weird to me.

[QueenAdrock]

^ Yeah or your ex-crush from high school who WAS Mormon but now turns out to be gay, drinking, cursing, AND smoking.

I remember the days when we used to mock our smoking friend so badly. And now he's one of them. I now have no one to mock with. :(

[The Notorious LOL]

Lara quit sometime late last fall I believe, I dont remember the exact date or time frame but its been some time now.

She smoked less than I did overall and hadnt smoked as long. Nontheless, smoking less or for a shorter period of time doesnt make the addiction any more or less tricky to deal with. Its mostly psychological, so big ups to her on quitting (y)

[Rock]

i'm afraid i will never be able to quit. i was sick for about 5 days last week and didn't smoke at all. the first day i went out....i smoked a pack. i am the stupid. good luck.

[Echewta]

please stop making echewta cry and everyone stop smoking. If not for me, for the children. If not for the children, then for the new brownie shake at Dairy Queen. Are you ready for the real brownie taste?

[The Notorious LOL]

someone walked by that smelled like cigarettes and man was it a delicious scent. Steak and potatoes I tells ya :(

[icy manipulator]

hit up the lozenges, they do the trick

[beastieangel01]

best of luck. you can do it. :)

[Dr Deaf]

i remember reading somewhere that after the initial 48 hrs the actual physical addiction is over.

i hate the "nicotine is more addictive than heroin" angle. everyone knows someone that quit cigs successfully. it makes smack seem less dangerous.

good luck on staying quit, fucking nasty habit.

i smoke about 20 parliment lights a day. they're so not delicious i wish i wasn't such a slave to addiction. if only i had a tenth of the supreme will power you've already exercised.

/cough, wheeze, hack, spit

edit: :D

[The Notorious LOL]

please edit that so it says "I hate my parliament lights, they are not delicious. I wish I could quit jesus god I hate smoking" :D

[Dorothy Wood]

parliaments are buy one get one free at some shops around here. when those deals run out...so will my habit. I hope. please god, I can't spend $8 a pack on those evil bastards.

[monkey]

good luck in quitting :) are you getting the coughs yet? drinking A LOT of water helps to curb the craving a bit, for some reason.

i sorta...replaced the addictions. though i never smoked for long-- months on, months (or years) off, now im off. but in the spirit of replacing, i just smoke something different.

[Dr Deaf]

here too. a carton worked out to $20.40. that's like $7.50 cheaper.

plus parliment sends us coupons for $3-$4 off a carton every couple of months just because they love us.

d. wood i really don't think your habit is going to run out when the promo is over. it is nice to pretend tho.

[The Notorious LOL]

are you getting the coughs yet?





yes! :mad:

[abcdefz]

Keep at it, buddy. You make me proud. And a little jealous. Mostly proud, though.

[YoungRemy]

you can do it!!

just don't smoke!

[The Notorious LOL]

you can do it!!

just don't smoke!



yeah Im already doing that.

[monkey]

yes! :mad:

it's your cilia rebuilding. that's a good thing. in a week or so, you'll notice your sense of smell starts to rebuild too.

[beastiegirrl101]

see when I see a girl with a cig hanging out of her mouth it looks so trashy to me, but men...not so much. But still I would never date a smoker. Unfair maybe but sorry thats just nasty.

Good luck NLOL....just dont replace the cigs with food...I have seen that happen to a lot of my friends.

[The Notorious LOL]

I think rather than trying this 12 weeks worth of nicotine gum shit Im just gonna get used to getting nicotine from the gum, then when most of the habits of smoking a cigarette are gone I will stop chewing the gum and let the whole physical addiction shit run its course.

[The Notorious LOL]

I am eating a lot at times but Im trying to just drink a ton of water instead (see post from earlier)


its sort of getting easier.

i've never tried the gum but with the lozenges you do drink a shitload of water. do you find you have to constantly have to drink water when on the gum? it really really makes your mouth dry hey

[cosmo105]

you should get some of them thar tea tree toothpicks. they're great for people that wanna quit smoking because they help with the oral fixation and shit. so you can keep all those dicks out of your mouth and all.

[QueenAdrock]

was he complaining about the dicks?

[cosmo105]

no, but i figured he might want some variety.

[The Notorious LOL]

day uh.....10...or so...I dunno.

[QueenAdrock]

WOO NICK!! :) (y)

[Justin]

day uh.....10...or so...I dunno.

Nice work(y)

Your making progress when you forget the exact amount of days you havent smoked. Keep it up. Your lungs will thank you later.

[DustSucker]

Good luck quitting! They say it's not hard to quit, but to stick with it. Many people hold out for years and then something bad hits them and they go back to 2 packs a day all of a sudden.

I only smoke clove cigarettes (Kretek). Or tabacco with weed (:
