Quitting Smoking tomorrow after 6 years.

[CarolinaAllDay]

I quit last july for 4 months, one stupid ass night i drank 6 too many shocktops and fell back down the hole. I already have gotten 3 teeth root canaled and crowned, so that is my motivation to stop. I should be in my physical prime but instead i wake up every morning feeling like a buffalo slept on my chest and im wasting $80/week due to this dangerous habit.

Ive got 3 paid days off im gonna use this week, i do 80% of my smoking at work so it wouls probably be best if i didnt go in there for a while.

So did everyone who pledged to quit still holding strong? Or did ya bitch out?

I'm fighting still, you?

Yep, today was pretty rough. But i made it through. I had some insane urges to smoke today. I read somewhere day 3 is the worse. Hopefully so. Nicotine should be out of my body completely by tomorrow, so i'm pretty stoked. Already breathe, smell and taste better. Crazy.

Yeah, caving in was tempting today, Hopefully tomorrow will be easier

Not sure how accurate this is, but I remember reading somewhere that after approximately 7 years your lungs will be completely healed and as if you had never smoked to begin with. Something to look forward to.

I'm looking forward to not paying $5+ a pack.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but whenever i'm at home and craving a cig. I go outside and I throw a baseball up in the air until the craving passes. Sounds dumb but it has helped me a lot.

Going outside might make it worse. I didn't smoke in the house and several of my neighbors sit on their porches and smoke. Thanks for the suggestion

I used Floppin's advice. I put myself in my trigger situations and didn't smoke. It will make me forget about cigs faster. I went out to the bars this weekend, I drove around, I sat outside on my front porch for long durations.  I just want to be completely over them, I don't wanna not do things because there will be smokers around.

In an hour and a half It'll be a full week for me.

 

Trust me guys this is a long journey. Like I mentioned earlier I made it 3 weeks a couple months back and caved when the stress reached a boiling point (lost $2300 over some b.s. at work).  

 

Just don't ever cave and say I am having just 1. (Remember you never want to go through this torturous detox again!!)

 

Remember those things stink to hell to non-smokers which you will soon find out if you haven't already.

 

Stay strong and keep a pack of gum handy for the next couple weeks.

I want to put myself in the position to decline smoking because I've come to far.

today I also begin my journey of getting rid of my 20 year habit...I'm smoking Blu E Cigs and man these are great they taste like coffee.
