FWIW, I smoked for 25 years. Tried quitting a few times, and wasn't ready (obviously). About 5 years ago, I decided enough is enough, used the patch, and quit. Did I fall back a couple times? Yes. What was the secret to me quitting? 2 things. I noticed that I always lit up at the same time (or circumstance). Get in the car, lite up. Work on the boat or rod, have one lit. THAT was the hardest thing to break. The physical addiction wasn't nearly as bad.
The other thing that REALLY sealed it was, one day I cheated and lit one up, after having quit for a month or two. Took a couple drags, and instantly got light headed, nauseaous, and started to sweat. Took another deep drag and spent the next 45 minutes puking my guts out. No more urge whatsoever. (kinda like that night ya drank too much Southern Comfort, and now you can't even SAY Southern Comfort without getting sick to your stomach!)
Hope you're ready to quit and get over the hump.

I cant imagin how you guys feel right now. I have never smoked anything ever in my life. Last weekend we stayed at the Nautical and my friend brought his Hooka. I gave into the peer presure and gave it a hit. It was fun but I dont see this turrning into a habbit.

I too smoked, for years. More than a pack a day. One day I up and quit. Cold turkey.
That was around 11 years ago.
Now, I enjoy cheap cigars when I drink, mostly at the river.
Really cheap cigars. They make me lightheaded and shit. Few silvers...couple cheap-ass cigars....I'm feelin really mellow.
The next day I feel like shit.
Keeps me from wantin to smoke again.
(at least till I get a beer buzz on again,....sometning about the boat makes me wanna smoke:confused: )
Stay with it Dave.

If you can't do it cold turkey, just keep cutting back. One less stick every day......should be done in a month and ween yourself off the cravings.....
Or only smoke one after a meal......and that's it. If you have low willpower, don't do it so fast. Be realistic and understand that you didn't get addicted in a day, so you may not be able to be un-addicted in a day.
But ya gotta quit.

You know RD, I am practicing "tough love" with you, but I think you might be on your way.
The guy in my office that quit, started by throwing away the cigarettes and dipping. That way his poor lungs could heal and he could still get the rush. Maybe you can try that. Then he tapered off the dipping and how he has not smoked in three months, or maybe it's been six.....
Anyway, if HE can do it, so can you. I lost some money betting that he would puss out, but it was money well spent if you ask me.
