Not weird at all - For the first 30yrs that I was quitting, I did it by not smoking between cigarettes too.

LoL. I'm not saying I smoke on a regular basis. What I'm saying is that I'll have 2 or 3 cigarettes while I'm drinking, but I go a week or two without having one. In fact just on Saturday I was with my 2 friends that don't smoke, and I got pretty hammered and didn't have a cigarette all night. I don't crave it at all. After the first 3 days of quitting I didn't crave it. I only do it while I drink because my ADHD gets worse when I'm drinking, and I like to have something to do with my hands.

So you're saying 3 months felt like 20 years without the cigs?
Good on you, John. Stay strong!

Yes, and looking for 20 years more

Good for you. Are you off the patches yet? Once you get the nicotine out of your system, your home free. It's been 4 years for me and I do not miss them at all. Good job quitting and congratulations.

I quit in 1989. At the time I was smoking as much as 5 PACKS a day. I used gum (wrecked my teeth, but it worked). I also used some "tricks"... like if I really wanted one, I'd smoke a little cigar or a tiny pipe. That helped with the psychological affects and I could still tell myself I wasn't smoking I finally threw the props away sometime in 1990 and haven't had a cigarette since BUT I still say that if my doctor told me I'd die tomorrow, I'd go get cigarettes today Man, if *I* could do it, anybody can. good luck.

Well good luck.. tried just so see how i felt without cigarettes here the other day went 20 hours without a cigarette ..hehe was like walking on clouds and high on some stimulant quite funny actually then smokes a cigarette not for the craving had them in my pocket for a while... and came back to earth still i might quit later in life.. but for now i just like smoking a lot and the smell of tobacco ..ahhh the smell always loved it even i clothes.. so next year is year 11 of tobacco heaven.. but i do wish you luck.. But somethings in life is just to relaxing to just give up just because your told its bad... if you get sick sure thats another thing but hey.. you can get a piano dropped on your head anytime anywhere.. you never know.... all you know is cigarettes increases the risk allot of getting allot of diseases related but not caused by cigarettes. ...i love my ramblings.. dont listen to them do your thing be strong vstyler.

Four months ago I chopped from 4 packs a day to less than half a pack, but I can't seem to take that last step. Even taking Chantix and putting up with the nausea it creates doesn't deter me. I did quit in house smoking and that help a great deal. I'ts the post meal and computer break smokes that are throwing up a brick wall. And I've had lung cancer 3 years ago. Clear for the last two. I guess sometimes you can't fix stupid when it comes to addictions.
If anyone has any great tricks, please let me know.

I don't know how my Mom did it she smoked for like 30 yrs, but she was running out one night on her way to bed and smoked her last one, she hasn't touched them in 12 yrs. I have considered quiting because I know it's bad for me, but here's the catch, you first have to want to do it and I just don't want to..lmao, don't ask me why but I really don't. But good luck to you vStyler hope you can do it!

Try vitamin C and grapefruit juice Angus. Worked for me.
I'm actually thinking about starting up again...

There really are no *tricks*...you just wake up and say to yourself... "Self , you will not smoke from this time forward."
I hope vStyler is still not smoking....I am looking to Jan. 15th I think, and it will be a year. Yes I still want a cigarette, but I say
no.
