So i'm trying something new. Quitting smoking
i'm going cold turkey. i planned to start today anyways but i started premature. i wanted to take some morning cigs from my roomie today before i left so i can have one with my morening coffee before work. so i forgot them and then i started. so thats pretty funny
well, i have a headache, i want to punch a hole thru the wall, i'm making all kinds of mistakes and i feel like i have a fever. the hairs on the back of my neck are constantly up and i've got constant goose bumps.
there was nothig i loved more every day than a ciggy. i used to be 2 pack a day smoker almost up to 3 a day. i calmed down so i could quit mostly because i coughed up blood for the third time since i've started. i've tried to quit before but this is the first time cold turkey.
this hurts. really really hurts.
my tummy is warm. on the inside. and my arms feel real loose.
not a funny post today. because i'm really antzy.
man, this was a bad idea. i should hoensly go back and flame my lungs. nothing sounds better right now.

Quitting smoking is incredibly difficult, and quitting cold turkey is one of the hardest ways to do so.MrPotatoes wrote:i'm going cold turkey.
With that said, you have ENOURMOUS benefits if you succeed, so stick with it!
Remember that statement, and think about how wrong it is. You *love* injesting a poison that is proven to kill you. You *love* it more than anything else. You *love* it more than living life itself.MrPotatoes wrote:there was nothig i loved more every day than a ciggy.
NOTHING is that good.
Imagine that the day you turn 61 would be the happiest day of your life - great food, relaxing day, beautiful views, comfortable schedule, wonderful friends..MrPotatoes wrote:nothing sounds better right now.
And then picture being dead a year before because you kept smoking instead.
Still think its the best thing possible?

I think this is true for only the first 72 hours, beyond that I think it's tougher to get rid of the niccotine dependency of 'the patch' or 'the gum'. You're just replacing one bad habit with another (albeit not nearly AS bad), but you're not actually addressing the real issue.Roja wrote:Quitting smoking is incredibly difficult, and quitting cold turkey is one of the hardest ways to do so.
stay with it, just push through these first few days and you're golden...
