Suckin on this inhaler like a 10 dollar whore in a dark alley.

Good. Now have to gave up drinking

Good luck GMU. Count the days, add 'em up. When you get to two months you're over the hump. Keep da faith.

For me its ten days. Ten days of Hell and than I'm good.

I mean I've never decided to "quit" smoking weed but sometimes I go on these long ass breaks from it. For fitness and athletic reasons, but also so that my tolerance goes waaay down and so that when I smoke again, I'm like a weed virgin lol

Currently I haven't gotton blazed in about a year and a half...

Good for you, Gramps. I quit smoking 24 years ago. Hang in there. It's worth it.

 

[Lipush]

Good for you!

Stay positive.

Think of the many advantages. Improving your health, saving money, no longer a slave to the cig, no longer stinking, coughing, putting burn holes in clothes, emptying ashtrays, having to go outside to smoke, etc...

congratulations to you

you have successfully completed the first step -probably the most difficult stage

it was for me anyways

hopefully you will start to immediately feel the health benefits of not smoking

and that those benefits outweigh the compulsivity of smoking

Good luck, I wish you success.
I quit about 16 years ago, I still catch myself patting at my pockets for a pack and a lighter.

When I look at the prices of even the cheapest smokes around, I thank the Lord for giving me the strength to quit cold turkey about 15 years of so ago after having smoked for more than 40.

It's tough at first. But, as your sense of smell and taste return, you will discover all the wonderful things you've missed for years.

Hang in there. It's worth it.

It's all about (re)establishing patterns. When I was ready a friend made the point that "it's not an addiction; it's a habit", which I found a very constructive way to think. An 'addiction' is something that has control over you while a 'habit' is a pattern you can break or reroute.

Our daily lives are made of patterns -- whatever the first thing we do when we get up is (coffee), where we leave our glasses before falling asleep, etc. Smoking for X number of years is a long-established pattern; the more you can run a new pattern to overwrite the old the further back the old one drops.

It's 32 years plus for me.

Another aid to breaking patterns: break several simultaneously. Rearrange the furniture, take a different route to work, find some new music -- give your brain the message that "we're in a different place now". It heightens you awareness and they reinforce each other.

Good for you- good luck with it- I have never been addicted to tobacco, but I have heard its a bitch of an addiction.

So far so good! Went to work today without a back up inhaler thinking it would last all day. It died before lunch lol.
Only downside is I'm beginning to get some pain in my gums/teeth. Not really sure where it is originating from but it has me convinced that I need to ditch this inhaler thing soon.

1.8 mg Nicotine & whatever else is in it I don't know. It looks like smoke when I exhale but it's odorless.
