tj1187 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Get yourself a bag of peanuts in the shell. Put some in your pocket and when you get the urge you have something to do with your hands. It worked for me. Smoke free 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzzyLoader Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You're doing great Wooly... Keep up the good work (and it is work isn't it?)! Soon you'll be a month smoke free - I'm rootin' for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
132 eight pointer Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Good luck Wooly! My only suggestion is try chewing gum when you get a craving. Lame but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hey thanks again for all the support. I gotta admit, today it seemed a little easier than the last few days once I got busy. The hardest part was stopping at the gas station today and not buying a pack just because that's what I've always done. Pretty sure I know how that would have ended. : So it looks like I'm going on 4 full days and starting day 5 in the morning. Much better than I thought I'd be doing at this point. My biggest problem now I think is that I just miss smoking as the cravings have subsided quite a bit. It is a pretty good feeling to take such steps towards kicking the habit but I could probably kill a pack in 2 hours if I had it right now,lol.

Dave Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 My old man smoked two packs of Camel no filters and quit cold turkey. But had to have lifesavers in every pocket. So gum, straw or lifesavers will work ,hang in there Wolly we need more of your wonderful pictures. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sounds like you are getting it done, keep it up and keep busy with things to keep your mind off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinson446 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 When you get the urg for one, go and do something productive where your not thinking about it. Helps alot. But like they said, Take it day by day. dont think of it as, oh i havent had one in 2 days. think of it as, i havent had one today and dont need one...

Moosemaple Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I used to smoke 2-packs a day until I caught my Son trying to smoke at age 12, I quit cold turkey this was back in 1975. I have not had a smoke since then, and no one in my family smokes. You have to do it one day at a time. Good luck I know you can do it.

Single_shot Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I recently tried to quit. Been smoking since I was about 10yo and now am 47. I recently went 4 days without a smoke. But when I went for a weekend trip to the cabin,...well,the beer made me do it! LOL Tried the patch once....made it for 2 weeks...till I visited the local pub,that was it. SOOOOO......my worst enemy is beer/whiskey and smokes. No,I won't quit drinking for the sake of smoking. I am going to give it another shot though,and try harder this time.My breathing seems fine to my Dr. but he don't hear me in the morning when I get up.Big difference.I know I need to quit,I spend about $200-$300/mos on the damn things and see no good from it. Nasty habit is all it is. Hope you faired well Wooly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You just really have to want to quit. You can say it over and over and try and convince yourself, but if you dont truly want to stop, you wont. Took me a whole bunch of trys, but I have finally been smoke free for over 2 years and running. Best thing I ever did. I drink form time to time socially and never have a craving. I am 100% repulsed by the smell anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
