i started again but i,m attempting to stop again... vicious circle lol

Re: smokers

damn smoking... i want to quit but every time i quit for a week or two, i get drunk and start again. it doesn't help that my gf smokes either.

tis a vicious circle indeed. Keep up the good work on staying clean!

Re: smokers

I am down to two: One in the morning, a spliff before bed.

Not consciously though, it's just too cold and I can't be bothered. I find my smoking fluctuates and I seldom crave one unless I'm drinking and among smokers.

Re: smokers

Such a tough vice to give up. Addictive on many different levels. I smoked for yrs and then decided my new addiction would be staying in shape and eating clean, working out daily. Smoking naturally didn't fit my new MO. Still tough as hell to stop .

Re: smokers

I'm already addicted to staying in shape and eating clean but somehow still managing to smoke :lol:

Re: smokers

Quit cold turkey in 2004. The 1st 6 months is the toughest, 12 bittersweet and 18 odd. After that you say shit like, "Quit cold turkey in 2004." Good luck.

Re: smokers

Worst addiction ever... just can´t quit smoking 5 - 10 cigs a day .. i promised on my 30th birthday i´ll quit smoking.. i have a whole year lol

what?

Re: smokers

post modern humour

it all made sense in my head and I am too lazy to decipher my own drivel now.

I am on a real health binge at the moment...actually lost weight, not like previous attempts.

Agree with Feather, only when drinking and with smokers is there any urge...

+1 with Flo OJ...no room/time for it when you are on a health trip.

Good luck people

Re: smokers

I stopped 26 months ago and counting :lol:

Never touched one since! 8)

Re: smokers

8 yrs for me. felt better almost instantaneously.

Re: smokers

So I bought a pipe today and had my first pipe smoke ...

Re: smokers

It's a nasty habit for sure. Personally I've been on and off for while now, I've never got to the point to be considered a heavy smoker.. I think i've been smoking 2 -3 cigs a day for the past 4 years but still i want to quit for good.

Just about a week ago I bought those e cigarettes which so far are really doing the job for me.

Re: smokers

About 3 and half months now...

Re: smokers

I am smoking shisha....not the greek crystal meth variant either.

Re: smokers

what's the word on those e-cigarettes? has anyone tried them?

Re: smokers

I tried them today coincedentally, it felt oddly like a cigarette. Burned my throat and I'm still feeling short of breath. Lol. My friend chain smokes them... It's sad. BUT! They are better than real cigarettes, I think. I've been told they are just as bad though.

Re: smokers

the e cigs help me not smoke in my car... that's primarily what i use them for. they do help me curb not smoking before i go to bed too. so in some sense, they do help me not smoke as many regular cigarettes. if you do decide to use them, just gotta be careful how much you smoke them because it's easy to get way more nicotine than a regular cigarette and before you know it, you're craving more and more nicotine.

Re: smokers

Dude did I live through that, smoked 2 packs of Marlboro Reds (best cig eva) for 2 years between 1995 - 1997 (yea I know I started real young). The Tar in those cigs is off the charts and I just couldn't slow down. Got to the point where if I didn't fall asleep in 15 min - 20 min from my last cig, had to get up and smoke another. Got so bad, I started smoking at home (when I was still living with my parents). Quitting was downright impossible because drinking chucks your willpower out the window and being in the company of smokers makes it a nightmare on your self-control.

Eventually, I just quit cold Turkey, stopped drinking so I didn't have to make it harder on my willpower and stopped hanging out with my friends for nearly 4 months. First 2 weeks were a nightmare, a month later it became easier and the weight came pouring in. It was all downhill (in terms of ease) after that but still, when I went out for my first night-out for drinks, while I didn't necessarily feel like I would cave in and pick up a cigarette in the beginning, a few drinks later, the smell of dem Reds was just too much and I had to leave the party.

Been clean since end of 97 but now I love having a nice cigar once in a while.

Quitting drinking tho, that's a nightmare on an entirely new scale for me :(

You smoke???! All these years & I never knew! mind = blown

You need to quit Mr!!! smoking = bleh!

Re: smokers

surprise!! :)

definitely don't like the habit. it's surprisingly tough to drop, unfortunately.

Re: smokers

[QUOTE=feather;1091839]No way! :shock:[/QUOTE]

Way, the draw of a nice Californian Red after a long ass day mixed in with a spicy Indian meal from the mrs. is nothing short of a slice of heaven.

Re: smokers

^its great having a nice craft beer every now and then.... Getting a buzz off a few sips vs a few glasses is the jam :).

Soo question for those of you who have used E-cigs with any regularity: can it cause weight loss you reckon? My buddy was super fucking skinny and the only thing different about him that I know of is he quit smoking cigs and started smoking e-cigs.

Re: smokers

p.s. my buddies wives sister has 16 months to live on chemo and loosing hair and is in her 40's. She was diagnosed with lung cancer like a month ago. Fucking gnarly as hell.

Re: smokers

way to go kamal! that's some superhuman willpower that you have

Re: smokers

most people that quit smoking actually GAIN weight... i don't think the e-cigs help with weight loss, but who knows. just might be his diet or maybe quitting had the opposite effect on him.

Re: smokers

I stopped smoking this past new years. After about a month I went back slowly. Chantix really helped with the nicotine cravings but the habit part is what I couldn't drop. People who have quit successfully, have told me after about 6 months smoke-free, the cravings go away.
