Basilisa Marie Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I don't smoke, but my boss is working on her second month of quitting. She stays super busy and works out a lot. And plays with a lot of pens - for her there wasn't so much an oral fixation as there was something to keep her fingers occupied. Also I can't stop laughing at those ads.

Mark of the Cross Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 [quote name='Aragon' timestamp='1344745210' post='2466381'] Has anyone here been a smoker who has successfully given up smoking? I'm on my first day of quitting now... Any tips? [/quote] Suffer! Actually count the days and everytime you are tempted just think you will have to start all over again. After a few months you will wonder why you ever smoked, because you are not actually getting pleasure from smoking you are just alleviating the withdrawal. And you will feel a sense of shame when you experience someone smoking near you and think. "Did I do that to other people?" But don't take any advice from me I tried chewing nic chewies and still smoked. Took 2-3 years and numerous attempts. But I'm 20+ years a nun smoker. (that should be non!) Just remember smoking anesthetizes your lungs so you don't feel the burning searing heat and chemicals burning your lungs. As a non smoker when you go near a heavy smoker your stomach will lift at the smell of burnt rotting flesh from blackened muck filled lungs. Scary eh, but true. Think about that every time you're tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanheart Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm trying to quit right now. I made the mistake of going to some of the heaviest, richest smokes on the market (that you can find in just about every shop on the corner). I'm having a harder time kicking the habit than ever before. (I've quit before for a few weeks or a month at a time, never much longer -- too many social environments where it was totally okay to light up again.) Do you mind me asking how much you usually smoke? I was never a heavy smoker like jaime, but it's still been difficult to kick this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragon Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey Franciscan Heart, I started smoking when I was 17 (21 now) and was on 10-12 a day. On my third day without them now. It's going good, I'm about ready to attack anyone who so much as looks at me, but it's going good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) both my parents quit cold turkey because cigarettes got too expensive. (i believe my dad's words were, "when cigarettes got to be more than 75 cents a pack, it was too much. ) my husband used to be a chain smoker, but he's gotten a lot better. he smokes each cigarette a third at a time, makes each pack last longer. i think he's down to a pack for every couple of days.
