just take one out of that pile.

For instance, it would be easy just not to buy chew.

I've been finding that the more I excercise my drunken will against smokes the stronger it gets. I always just said "fuck it, I can't resist when I'm drunk anyway so why try? Its only a couple smokes anyway".

Since I've been actively trying not to "socially smoke" the ability to resist while drinking has been increasing a lot.

See thats my problem...I chew(dip,whatever) unless I am drinking, then I smoke. So if I quit drinking, I automatically quit smoking, and then I have to stop chewing because thats the whole point of this, quitting nicotine, and so I will need something to keep me from going insane and take my mind off of it, so I am gonna start working out alot.




For 2 days, then I'll get some tobacco....

[cerveza_fiesta]

ah...i see.

Well it is just a habit, and habits can be broken.

Its an association thing, and that's what I was getting at above. I associated getting drunk with having a few smokes for too long...and then my willpower instantly evaporates with my first consumed beer.

Since I've been disassociating smokes from beer its been a lot easier to resist smoking.

Plus think how good you'll feel when you come back after the weekend and can tell all your internet friends how you resisted the urge.

This thread is boring me now. I only check RLYs updates to see if he says he has caved. We don't want tales of success. We want to hear about psychological weakness and tragic failure. What kind of freak are you?

Would it help to know that I caved after about 3 weeks? There ya go, psychological weakness and tragic failure

Add some nicotine gum and the patch, and see if he doesn't pour nicotine through his sweat glands...

Congrats to those joining the quitting club. Boo to those who have failed. I am still 100% smoke free since quitting, but then, I am all that is man and so have an unfair advantage.

Didn't sweat nicotine but did develope a rash. Ate a ton of Freezer Pops to quite. Helps that I gave up drinking over 10 years ago, other wise it would of been a lost cause.

I dont't smoke...maybe I could quit my job?

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Start smoking, then quit.

[Wry]

Well one week gone and i'm still a non-smoker.Starting the new job today which should make things easier, it's incredibly difficult not to think about smoking when you've nothing much to distract you, and you use ciggarettes to punctuate an empty day. So new job where i have not built any smoke break habits is a good thing.

Bad news is i keep finding old packs with one or two in them in various jackets, drawers, etc. I must have been some sort of nicotene squirrell or something.
