I quit smoking

[MikeMike]

yes, I quit... just up and done it.

Did it for my health
Did it for my senses
Did it for myself

I have not had a cigarette for 44 hours.

helps to have some crutches... when craving I will text a friend and just say 'chewing on a toothpick' the toothpick is my other crutch, it gives me something to do with my mouth and well, my dentist said that using a toothpick is better than not flossing at all, so 2 birds 1 piece of wood...

I have been pissed off all day today and expect to be tomorrow. However I have quit. I am not quitting (you can't be quitting, you either quit or smoke). I am now an ex-smoker.

here is to no relapses

Good for you! Just stick with it.

 

[HAL9000]

Awesome! I quit smoking once...

 

[MikeMike]

Hal, you are on my ignore list, please do not post in my threads I do not like having to see that you have posted in my threads. I have asked this before.

Congrats and good luck. I quit smoking 11 years ago and am thankful I did. Plus I can't even imagine how much money I have saved.

 

[XJustMeX21]

First 3 days are the worst, at least they were for me anyways.

 

[HAL9000]

Hal, you are on my ignore list, please do not post in my threads I do not like looking over seeing that you have posted. I have asked this before.

You've asked, I've read, I've ignored. I'm not being offensive to you or anyone for that matter, if you don't want to read my posts that is your choice, but you don't get to choose where I post.

Your #1 problem is self control in every area of your life.
That will solve alot of your problems.

Yeah, the first couple weeks will kick your ass on that. Think I was a jerk to just about everyone for that timeframe too.

You need to learn to stop posting this.

I have a seriously huge amount of self control for certain things, for example I don't repost things over and over again to no avail.

Read my posts, you'd know why I'm still here.

Agreed.

 

[MikeMike]

ok, ill just ignore this... Soundmanred and everyone else, can you please not quote Hal... that way I am unable to read what he said?

 

[HAL9000]

I'm a troll.

Agreed.

 

[Soundmanred]

Keep it up MikeMike, it's only going to get more difficult, but it's worth it.
It's a physical addiction, not a mental illness, so you'll be fine.

I'm genuinely curious now, insults aside. Is this fun for you? You insulting me because of a mental health condition, then me defending myself, is this fun? Is it what you enjoy doing of an evening?

Edited out for MM

Not everything is about you.
You really do have issues with self esteem and self control.

yea... My last cigarette was at 4am(or so) on Thursday night/fri morning driving home from a buddies... Since then I have not bought a pack... I have thought about smoking, I have wanted to smoke, I have craved it badly. But I know this is the best route... I did cheat twice... with left over butts that were in my ash tray, but I have since thrown those out and have no signs of smoking in my apartment or outside my apartment. I have not gone and done anything... however I did do a walk from my apartment to the building my class is in, which i normally smoke on... I craved it, but did it without and then rode my bike which I had left on campus back... Went for a bike ride (like 2 miles) and came back... craved it, but did not... I am trying to do things I normally would smoke after and get the tie in out of my head... I really hope i can make it through the week... I have a lot of freaking homework and stuff due this week and I don't want to be an ass to all the groups I am in!

The toothpick trick is fucking amazing though... better than gum for me... Gum helps, but not as much as a toothpick because a toothpick you can play with more...

Sure sure, not everything is about me, but one of two things are happening here:

1) You are moving from thread to thread where I post, trying to upset me by insulting mental health.
2) You are moving from thread to thread trying to upset people with mental health conditions, and I happen to have posted in all of them.

Either way, is that fun for you?

Keep cigs (and butts!) away, chew gum or candy, and just try to stay otherwise occupied.
It can be done, lots of people do it!

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Good going Mike. Just stick with it, at this point it's going to get worse before it gets better, but keep at it. If you do manage to stay off the cigs, this will seriously be one of the best things that you'll do for yourself.

Oh, and chewing gum helps. It gives you something to do to take your mind off.

Not everything is about you.

You sound like you have issues with OCD yourself. Talk about calling the kettle black.

Let's keep it on topic and not bring race in to this.
I have to go make sure I locked my door and that the fridge is closed. (for the hundredth time today...)
