I had the intention just to start again after the week but then thought why after I didnt smoke for a week, may as well give up. I smoked 40 a day for many years, I had a bet with my missus that I could easily quit for a week and she said I couldnt. The only worry I have is that I will actually end up getting addicted to the gum, and then having to quit the gum on top of quitting smoking.īasically, have any of you lot also given up smoking at any point, even if it wasn't for good, and if so, how did you do it? Was it through willpower alone, or was their an aid that was used to overcome your addiction?Īlso, anyone else notice that you get really vivid dreams whilst going through the withdrawal? So far, I'm on my 6th day without having anything to smoke, with the use of some Nicorette gum that I chew when I feel the cravings coming on, and it's helped a lot. Recently, I've been staying with family and ran out of money, thus resulting in me not being able to afford a pack of cigs, so thought this would be the best time to actually try it out and see if I could give it up for good. So, the recent budget saw a 37p increase on cigs in the UK, and this finally forced me into wanting to give up smoking for good. Look forward to being free from the cravings. Look forward to being free of the slavery of finishing a pack and needing to go and get another pack. Set yourself a date when you want to have your last cigarette, and look forward to it. Successful quitters don't feel the craving, and that should be your objective. If you feel the craving, you've failed, it's better for you to just have a smoke and try to regroup. The best chance of success in quitting is to quit the addiction, quit the craving, and stop being a slave. That's when the addiction starts to do its best work, telling you everything will be OK if you just have a smoke, "You'll feel a lot better," You have a smoke and it's true. There are many benefits to giving up smoking - health and money being the biggest two, but if you try to quit for those reasons it adds so much pressure that it makes you anxious. There is nothing better than a cigarette, because it is the cure for your addiction.your nicotine addiction! It takes over your mind and bends you to its will. Nicotine addiction is the strongest of the addictions. The same thing happened when I gave up in 06 - I got a bit blase, thinking I could have a smoke and not become addicted - but it just draws you in. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, because it is just so easy to get hooked again. I just started smoking again a few months ago after quitting for about 4 months. The only person who ever looked kind of cool smoking a cigarette was James Dean and he's dead. In the meantime your breath smells like ass, your clothes smell like ass, your teeth and fingers turn yellow, and you don't look cool. Just because you have to die of something doesn't mean it's "bullsh*t" to warn people of how bad cigarettes are. the ONLY thing a cigarette does for you is provide you with additional ways to die faster. there is literally not one halfway good reason to smoke cigarettes. even the mild nicotine buzz disappears once you're an addict. Yes, if it's not one thing it's going to be something else.īut this doesn't excuse the fact that cigarette smoking is still one of the single most retarded things you can choose to do as a human being. Why not focus on these, rather than trying to scare a person with some bullsh*t? There are a lot of good reasons not to smoke. If you don't die of smoking, you will die of something else. Honestly, ads that focus on how many people die from smoking are absurd. There are seven billion people on the planet.
