I works best to not only announce it, but talk a bunch of shit about how you can't be tempted. The idea of how stupid you'll look if you start again helps a lot.

[Adjutant Stormy~]

The not looking stupid incentive is pretty good.

For me I have my father's encouragement: "You smoke and I'll cut your nuts off."

cool. I wondered if it had to do with a new year resolution that just started late or something.

Did you announce it to eveybody? It's a lot harder to go back on it if you do, I find.

I told my partner (who still smokes!!) and kids I was giving them up, and the crowd I work with. As someone said above, the best part is not smelling like an ashtray. I'm still coughing up crap and I've had 2 chest infrections since stopping, but other than that its all good.

it'll pass.

Feels good to clear it all out though hey?

Yeh as i said its all good. the best thing aswell is I have a hell of a lot more change than I used to. At €8.40 (euro) for 20 blue per day and then maybe more at the weekends it all adds up...

Wow... I would have quit ages ago at those prices. (even though I rolled my own and bought the tobacco from Indonesia at like $100 a kilo, so it's more of a mental thing)

Oh, and guuds work on the quitting thing.


Now, for the most important question of the day : is it permissible to have a cigar to celebrate things when 'quit' or does that make one a dirty quit-go-back-on-bastard?

Somehow I'm guessing that's counter productive.
Why not have brownies instead.
You know brownies.

[Jusentantaka]

But but but but... its business, not a damned PTA meeting.

*does get the 'brownies', oh yes*

Nicotine is nicotine.

That's like asking if champagne is okay for a drunk celebrating his 2 month sobriety.

[Jusentantaka]

BAH. So I'm gonna have to go to one of those crappy little SoHo shops and buy some kinda cheap knock off nicotine free organic piece of shit cigar to lalalalalalala celebrate-smoke?


How about I just don't inhale... that's good too, right?

I always hated cigars, so it was never much of a bother for me.

Maybe other quitters have a different viewpoint on the matter than I.

I was always under the impression you don't inhale cigar smoke anyway...

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

You are a recovered nicotine addict. All nicotine is off limits. Even if you don't inhale cigar smoke you still absorb nicotine through your mouth. Not allowed.

Finally quit chewing after 10 years. Been about 3 weeks now. Does anyone else who has quit nicotine still want to fly into a rage over little things even though its passed out of your system or am I just unstable? Seriously, I'm fine most of the time, but every now and then I lose it and I wasn't like this when I was chewing. Its very annoying to say the least.

[Darkwatch]

Three weeks doesn't sound like enough time to have purged all physical and psychological aspects of a ten year addiction.
Though I have heard other ex-nicotine addicts having short tempers. This can last for a bit, it varies from person to person.

[Jusentantaka]

The first two times I quit for more than a week I went absolutely insane. Throwing shit at people, yelling, bitching out cops and drunks and idiots... it was actually good fun, though I feel pretty shit about the whole 'glass incident' with the Toyboy.

This time I've been more or less balanced. Itchy and grousy, but the only yelling I've done has been fake.

[Eddie Dean]

Well, I asked Google and he (or she) said that it can take 8-12 weeks to get over withdrawl symponts completely and in some cases up to 6 months. So I guess I'll just have to bear down.
