I've done good so far. It's been 10 days since I made the descision to quit, and i've only had 4 cigarettes, down from at least a pack a day. I was wondering if there were any successfull quitters on these forums that could offer some tips/advice.
My worst cravings are after a few bad matches on Dust, lol
*after bad matches*
Me- God f*cking dammit!!! Thats f*cking bull sh*t!!! Did you see that sh*t???!!!
RestlessSpirits- Yea, we saw it, its all good Dunk, just chill out.
Me- Oh my god that f*cking pisses me the f*ck off. I need a f*cking cigarette!!!!
RestlessSpirits- No, Dunk, you don't need a cigarette.
Me- Yea, I f*cking do!!
RestlessSpirits- No you don't.
Me- AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Anyway, some craving and frustration control tips would be welcome. Gum doesn't come even close to working, and my once loved cups of coffee just aren't the same anymore.
congratulations on quitting smoking the cigarettes, I smoked at least a pack a day for 16 years and quit 5 years ago last month. It was not easy to quit but I stuck with it, I did treat my self with mini-eclairs for the first couple of weeks. best advice is to "just do it", I lost my father to C.O.P.D. and watching him die from cigarettes was harder than quitting cigarettes.
" Why don't you have the restless spirits take a portion of that 10% corporate tax and fund a quit smoking program" (joking since I quit the corp over the taxes)

Trying not to be to rough on myself but damn, last night i was at 4 cigs in 10 days, and i've had 4 already today. I am really perplexed that the craving was so strong so far in, figured it would be worse in the begining. Is that normal?
Anyway, i'm trying not to let it get to me too much, trying to look at it as a speed bump rather than a failure, but i'm not pleased with myself. I'm trying to feed off the stories and insperation you guys have put up here in this thread, gonna do some e-cig window shopping this weekend, I may not have the will power for cold turkey.

dont be hard on your self, I tried to quit many times, many many times. Finally I switched to a all natural cigarette, the light blue American spirits till I got used to them (im sure an E-cig would be just as well), then I set a date a month out and started cutting back and when the date came I stuck with it and after 16+ years I quit and im not going back. Cravings can be horrible the first couple weeks and even the first couple months but you will always have to deal with stress and after I quit I realized I made up reasons to stress just to justify having another cig and now I stress much less, it gets easier just snack, or exercise, or drink some water every time you have a craving. dont give up

^^ This. Currently my mother is in the final stages of acute obstructive pulmonary disorder, fluctuating between 27 and 32% adult lung capacity. It isn't pretty, it's scary as hell, and the worst part is it had a genetic cause for her that was triggered by smoking: It would have never effected her had she never started. Knowing that, and knowing my daughter has been diagnosed with the same genetic disorder, makes it easier for me to quit. If she never starts, she will never have to live through that. Actually, that brings up a good point: Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency. If you have a family history of emphysema, or other lung disorders, or tend to get lung infections easily, get tested. That **** scares me more than cancer.....
choked up a little, kinda hits home, I am sorry. there is to much of this, to much of cigarettes stealing the best years a kid can have with there parents. I wish I would have just quit years sooner.
