I did the all or nothing thing last time I quit..I did it well and stopped for 2 years..dumb me picked up a tiny cigar..lol

This time I find I can't do it that way..but I was smoking way more this time than then.

I figure even if stopping is slower for me, it is better than what I was doing and consistant.

I have slowed from almost 2 packs to this now.
Hope to be smoke free soon..smiles

And thank you very much....It is nice to others doing the same or the same process..it really does help during the hard times.

Atleast it does for me!

Well, I did make it to Harris Teeter and back without a stop at the tobacco shop I use to frequent. Teeter had a special, buy 3 coke 12 pack cans and get 3 free! Coke Zero, Caffeine free diet Coke and 2 Digornio Pizza were purchased for this evening football watching!

Go you OS....you can do it...no reasons only excuses remember.

Well, like you lot I'm giving up something (else) that is so very bad for me. It's day 6 for me and I'm hanging in by the skin of my teeth and by jingo! it's hard. I'm gonna do it though. By hook or by bloody crook!


May the force be with you :tinfoil:

Fantastic!!! That is way cool.

toothpicks to play with help alot.
remember to breath, get rid of all smells on smoke or ashtrays.
And when you really desire a smoke, get busy doing something.


Today is my 23rd day of cutting down...SO FAR I HAVE HAD NONE.

My daughter started today as well to not smoke...way cool

OS Butch 02-05-2012 03:42 PM

Good for you, Dude. Hang in there and remember all that great advice you are giving us!

So far so good! Only problem is today I am eating everything in sight. Last time I quit I didn't have this craving thing. I am guessing I will find the 15 pounds I lost:blink:

That is way cool!!! It is hard as hell but well worth it!!

I stopped other things years ago, and omg it was no easy ride! But well worth it I tell you. I do not know what yours is but I am sure the struggles are intense. Keep it up!

A few tricks,
Unsweatened greatruit juice,toothpicks, drinking water instead of eating that has ice in it,crushed ice to chew on in a cup,cinnomin everything helps..fireballs are good, get up and move, breath deep, change all habits you used to do to not have them, allow yourself breaks like when you did smoke but breeth fresh air, sugar free cabdies, and fruit and veggies are a free food, You can eat all you want of them. Just be careful of what goes on them and how much...smiles


Your doing great!

OS Butch 02-05-2012 04:01 PM

Thank you and those are really good tricks....wish I had them when I went to the store. Today is Super Bowl watching and the house is filled with chips and salsa...Apple pie and ice cream...I do have Coke Zero..LOL!

Just a question to everyone else.
Have any of you noticed horrible heart burn since you have tried to quit or when you quit before?

If so, what did you do for it? Nothing seems to help yet that I have tried.

OS Butch 02-05-2012 04:15 PM

Sorry I don't have anything to pass on for this, I never had that out of all the times I have quit.

Not sure how to reply to the message you left! I don't have a particular team to root for this year....pretty much the Super Bowl this year is just a reason for friends to get together.

Another day with no smoking :) Great job everyone! Still using the nicotine lozenges, but less and less each day :)

Fantastic!!!

I am still on a cut down program but haven't smoked 1 today at all...smiles

uniquetobeme 02-06-2012 11:25 PM

Despite it being such a long day for me...8 hours work, and then a class in the evening, I have only used 3 nicotine lozenges today! I'm looking forward to being completely nicotine free soon!
I hope everyone had a great Monday! Keep up the great work! We can do it!!

Tottally awesome!
Don't knock yourself out for using help...The big key is your not smoking...good for you!

Lady Pamela 02-06-2012 11:40 PM

Having a hard time today..But I am offically 2 days without a smoke.

Does it get worse? Or does it get better from here...ha

Wooohooooo! Well done! 2 days it brilliant. I'm soooo glad you've got past the intermediate cop out thang of 'well, I am cutting down'. (sorry if that offends but I tend to say as I see it)

Be prepared for the worst then if it doesn't happen it'll be a bonus. :cheesy: Use all those techniques we've all spoken about in the thread. The best things we do for ourselves are not the easiest. It could well get worse but you have this thread for inspiration and hopefully you've developed your own internal positive self talk to get you through the 'wilderness' times.

I'm so stoked that you've made it to the non smoking part. Only another day and the nicotine will be entirely out of your body.

Go you!!

May the force be with you :tinfoil:

OS Butch 02-07-2012 07:51 AM

Everyone is doing so well! Keep it up. I didn't fair as well. On Sunday, my non smoking friends arrived....with a friend I have previously met and she is a smoker without any inclination of quitting. Well, I did bum 2 smokes and justified it by being a good host, not wanting her to be outside smoking all by herself!

The good news is I did not go out and start buying a pack, so here I am on day 2 of not smoking, again!
