Hope I Stay With It

[DirtTime]

Just used the last of my tobacco for ciggies. Not buying anymore, I really want to stop smoking again. Mind over matter. Cold turkey is hard, but I did it before, I can do it again! OH, for the super health conscious, please don't post stats on what tobacco does to the body, don't bother. I know.

You can do it Rob. We're pulling for you. Give the gf your bank card and cc for a few days so you can't buy any. Never mind her shopping excursions with them 

[grampy]

You are really doing the best thing for yourself.  Best of luck! You WILL do it!

[ATbuckhunter]

The good thing is you'll be out in the woods hunting again, so you have something to take your mind off of it

I quit on 2/18/08. Of course it took a stroke to finally provide enough motivation. Yup, full recovery on the stroke, but it did scare the hell out of me. But I have to say that there are time even now when I would like to light up. I have heard some other ex-smokers say the same thing.

Good luck the first few days are the worst but it's all for the best brother.You got this .

I smoked my last one back in January, cold turkey and so far zero problems or cravings........you can do it. In the beginning I replaced it by drinking ungodly amounts of water and coffee to replace the need to do something, but eventually I reduced the coffee intake and now I'm even down to one or two cups of that a day as well.

Good luck Rob, you can do it.

I started vaping two years ago on October 1st and haven't touched tobacco since. I feel a lot better and didn't gain any weight.

If my lungs aren't thanking me enough, my wallet sure is!

I tried the e-cig a few years ago. Maybe it was because it was not top of the line, the charge didn't last very long.

Sitting at the PC one day I put it in my mouth and out of habit picked up the lighter and burned the tip ruining it. LOL

[Steuben Jerry]

The better ones make a whole lot of difference. I smoked for 40 years, and quit many times but never more than 6 months.

I did try a cig about a year ago and didn't finish it, just wasn't as satisfying as the vaping. That pretty much told me I'm done with tobacco for good.

[jjb4900]

I say give it your best shot before you start sucking some other substance into your lungs to replace it........nothing you can't do if you really want......toughest part is if having a drink brings the craving on, it was with me so I gave that up too. I lost about 30 pounds and feel great because of it.

Well rob.........., how's it going?

Be strong......................

Either with car windows open or on motorcycle you can smell cigarettes. Sometimes they smell good and sometimes not. I quit six years ago and sill want one. 

I would love to sit out back with my morning coffee and have a Marlboro. 

Oh boy

[The_Real_TCIII]

When first lit they smell amazing

[NYBowhunter]

15 years for me and dont miss it one bit. Used a friends car last week that smokes and it smelled like an ashtray, nasty.. Be strong Rob, just keep telling yourself its for your best interest/health to quit. I quit cold turkey approx. 15 years ago the day after i buried  a good friend of the family who was a heavy smoker and died from cancer.

[Paula]

Yes, and when the smoke flows into the sun it seems like the the cigarette taste smooth. Lol

[NFA-ADK]

I am with you, have to do it for the season and most of all my health, dam bad habit makes us stink, literally. 

[DirtTime]

Almost 24 hours. Craving, but not caving.

Alright let's split a pack. We can quit whenever we want!

I won't go the vaping route. IMO you are still putting crap in your lungs. Sucking mist into your lungs can't be very good for you either.

 

Actually, I just had a couple beers, and it didn't bother me.

Gotta want to quit, i did it for my family and my health. Be strong, keep telling yourself why your quitting and dont look back. You gotta hate it with a passion to quit, if that makes any sense. Gotta make those cigs your worst enemy. Its a mind game, thats all it is.
