Quitting smoking

[The_Meach]

Everything pretty much went smoothly and I think it's over. Had one cigarette on Saturday (it was on the floor of my car in a near empty pack, couldn't waste it), lost interest and flicked it. I realized I gained 10 pounds in the short time that I quit but everything is cool, this sucked but wasn't so bad at the same time.

High-five! </Puddy>

Alright it sounds stupid but it really works, i used to smoke over a pack of reds a day and then i quit cold turkey, felt like shit but then whenever i got the urge i would eat a whole pack of bubble yum watermelon in my mouth at once and the urge went away, its been 3 years and im still smoke free. I quit pot 2 weeks ago but thats a whole other story.

Dealer left town eh?

That worked.
But take the NO SOCIAL SMOKING rule seriously! I didn't after a year or so, and I'm gonna have to go through this shit all over again.

This is true.

Here is what is working for me.

On janurary 10th i smoked my last cigarette. It was one of the good ones that taste like candy.

I went out and got the date tattooed on my wrist.

Haven't smoked since then, never going to again.

It works, I guess because I'm not willing to break a promise to myself, especially when I have a constant visual reminder of it.
