Not sure if there is any truth to this or not, but I was once told to me that if you took a teaspoon of "creme of tartar" and mixed it with a glass of orange juice it was "suppose to help flush out the nicotine from your system over night.
Anyway.....I'm going cold turkey so far...but I gotta stay away from this thing (PC) a bit more...when I was on here I'd smoke like a house on fire.

I know just how you feel John....nothing crazy about it...nicotine itself is more addictive than heroin...so its going to be a really hard struggle...just hang in there. I'm to understand that if you can make it 3 days the nicotine is out of your system and then your just fighting against the mental habit. Oh...and the toothache is also smoking related...it destroys your gums.

I tell ya, the psychological side effects of this are just unbearable sometimes. It's almost like your two different people.. an internal good against evil..sounds crazy i know.

With each day that passes that's one day further away from where you were when you started. Keep going John.

Congrats on sticking with it - it really does get easier. The harder moments will become less frequent.
It's a very liberating thing to do.

See...that was part of my problem....I was buying them online for $12.49 a carton and while sitting here at the pc I was smoking like a house on fire....well actually the cigarette was....I'd light one...take a drag and it would then burn out and I'd light another one.
But consider what I'm going through now Seldom...and since you got kids that should be even more of an incentive to quit. In fact, since you can't really even tell if you have an aneurysm it might be a good idea to get an upper and lower CT scan just to check...because there are no real symptoms. If you do and they catch it then it can be monitored....otherwise you'll know when it burst and you bleed out....then its to late...something to think about!

Oh I think you would be surprised how long it takes to get anywhere near feeling any better than day one.. 3 days in, I want one more than ever...
However, I am about 15 bucks richer than I would have been and damnit, I'm gonna beat this thing.
Day 3 - 7pm ..

This along with really wanting to quit, I mean really wanting too. I'm 52 soon to be 53 and I started smoking in the 3rd grade. I've tried many different ways/types to quit but I was never able to until I finally decided it was something I needed to do. I have smoked a cigarette in over a year now and I don't want one either. You can do it if and when you are really ready to quit. Good Luck and don't stop trying.

hey V man, hang in there mate, giving up smoking is probably one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. keep in your mind all the good things that will come out of it.
1 you get your sense of taste back
2 you will live longer
3 you will save money
4 your clothes wil no longer stink of smoke
5 those annoying nicotine stains on your fingers will disappear
6 the proud feeling you will get from having achieved something so difficult
good luck bro, i hope it all works out for you
