Quitting smoking - Part 37

[MonkeyF0cker]

So I had quit smoking for about three months earlier in the year only to start again. What I do makes it really hard to quit. Between stress, a lot of sitting around playing cards, a lot of work on the computer, waiting for numbers, watching games, etc., it's really easy to slip back into it. However, the other day I bought the patch again to give it another go. I'm absolutely sick of waking up with a cashed throat, sore chest, and coughing up shit. Today, not only did I wake up with an empty pack, but some sort of cold as well. It's a perfect time to start the quit. With patch on arm, here goes day one... Again.

Good luck MF

Yeah kick that shit to the curb. The early days are the hardest so you just have to gut it out. You can do it. Be free.

good luck

Have you tried dipping?

You're still dealing with cancer, but at least you don't have the effects on the lungs and your breathing. Plus it's easier to do inside.

I used to dip when I played baseball. I'd rather just kick the habit altogether though, dj.

I've quit the nicotine gum, for now. That shit is worse than cigarettes in some ways. Going back to smoking.

I recently threw my e-cig away. Didn't do anything for me.

GL Monkey. You can do it bro!



I think the dipping thing is a good idea. I've had multiple friends go that route. Better than smoking and you usually get sick of it after a month or two.

 

[reno cool]

I just need a nicotine inhaler of some sort. Those vapor cigs seem harsh on the throat too.

I've tried that and chew, I prefer chew to dip but I would catch myself lighting up right after.
so it was a failed attempt

I guess there are all these methods and gums and patches these days. E-cigs? That's a new one on me. My girlfriend quit by tapering. I don't want to poo poo any of that. Specialists generally agree that they are better than cold turkey.

But that's how I did it - cold turkey.
