The package of Varenicline said I was supposed to quit smoking between days 8-14.
Today is day 9, and I’m 12 hours now without a smoke. We’ll see if it lasts.
This sucks. In fact everybody sucks today. I’m due to play squash in an hour, poor Joe, hopefully I won’t hurt him.
Share your quitting story here…how did you do it…
Good for you! You probably are adding 10+ years to your life… Your family will appreciate it… I have never smoked in my life so no story… Recently took a break fom drinking, been about 2 months… I tend to drink too much in the winter and then more or less not much in the spring/summer… Still bummed about my mom and it probably contributed… Oh and I think you know but she died of lung cancer, from smoking… Don’t start again bud…
Quit just before turning 18 - used the patch. I had smoked pretty heavily for 3 years before that.
11 years later and haven’t had a cigarette since. Although my friend got me into e-cigarettes - the menthol ones are awesome. I would give that a try, as they have nicotine but just none of the harmful/toxic stuff.
I’m more a story of not quitting and I suck for it. The after 9pm runs to McDonalds. I despise them and also love them. Still doing them despite all the reason not to.
?
I’m 20+ years in…every day, haven’t gone a day without one yet. I was vaping for 3 months and was down to only a few a day but it got way too weird tasting by the end for me.
Yes prime I’ve thought of your moms story for sure, and others. It helps, thanks.
Bruno, McDonald’s may be the answer, it’s true eating is helping a LOT. May be a fat fuck in a couple months but hopefully that’ll be an easier issue to take care of…
Yeah saki is helping for sure. Keeping my thumbs occupied lol
Empathize with you man. I lived pretty fast and free through my late teens and early 20’s (didn’t we all). Unfortunately, mine took a much deeper delve into scary places and I have actually been clean n sober for 15+ years!
BUT, I cannot put down the damn smokes! Smoked a pack a day+ since I was 17. Have been smoking more of my life than not. Shit is not easy. Best of luck to you!
I quite twice, both times using Nicorette. First time took me 2months of chewing gum then tapered off the gum, 6 months later I went to Vegas and ended up smoking again for another 3months. Back on the Nicorette for another month and then tapered off, haven’t had a smoke or the the desire for one in almost 4years
9 years clean and sober here, I too went to a couple of dark places
Never smoked, but my mom does and a few close friends do. They have all tried to quit and they all failed so major props to you if you can do it.
Good on you J!
I smoked for 7 years and one day I wanted to see if I could quite cold turkey and never touched a cigarette or cigar since… The cravings go away in time… Just take it day by day and you’ll do fine!
I’m currently too depressed to quit. Maybe when my situation improves and my mental state gets better I can give it a shot.
Thanks guys. Yeah was looking for stories just like that. Haven’t caved yet.
Well I decided to take a tip from thenewbruno and cave on every other craving I have for now and I decided fuck, I want Taco Bell.

I went to three different Taco Bells and they all were closed by 9. Sucks. So I’m raiding my fridge now.
Try the taco bell at trafalgar and cross in oakville. Open more regularly.
You should keep smoking too. It suits you.
The night is young, Sak. This one?

I’ll hit it tomorrow. Come for a gordita Sak, lol, I’m no longer looking to chat, yeah beem is right a nice righteous argument about race gas or tire warm-up or the struggles of an athiest is better for me right now…
ROFL, you truly are a dick Saki
I have never smoked but the smoke doesn’t bother me. Oddly I actually like the smell of black and milds but can’t spend the money to be miserable and kill myself faster. Wish you the best of luck.
Bad Saki.
Hit up a Korean bbq or something. Most are usually cheaper after hours on weekdays.
the gordita went downhill when they got rid of the santa fe.
What the duece? Closed by 9? That crap shack is open 24/7 in the states! Guess overweight 'merica is overweight…
