keep GOOOOING!!! your cars interior will love you MORE for it

 

Go Greg, Go!

 

i did well tonight. i actually really didn't even think about cigarettes the whole time. i think i got this **** haha.

 

For me it took not smoking for a while, and then having a cig on one of those "weak moments" and then feeling physically like crap and having ashtray mouth for the rest of the time. Done and done. I still pick up a pack every now and again, usually on a road trip. The last time I smoked 5 or so American Spirits and then just tossed the pack due to lack of interest. Never smoked inside or in my car so that has never been an issue. I smoked mostly due to environment but I truly enjoyed it for a bit - when I was in England. Since then I have grown to really thoroughly enjoy not smelling like smoke anymore. I was actually in London the day they outlawed smoking indoors (July, 2007) and I have to say I thought that day would never come!!

I also notice that as soon as I get back into anything active that I would just stop smoking. I have been seriously into mountain biking again, so that could have something to do it. Actually going out to Skeggs at around 10 for a "go big" ride with food and such - hoping to get around 15 miles in today without dying.

 

As weird as it sounds one of the best ways to start to quit smoking is to drink more alcohol than you have ever drank before. Yes this may not be the smartest idea but if you wake up so ****ing hungover that you want to die, usually those hangovers can last up to 2 days. In that time there is no way that you would want a cigarette because it would only make you want to throw up. It makes the first 4 days or so really easy.

That or having a severe cold where you wouldn't smoke for 4 days anyway.

 

 

8 months i still want to smoke lol


good luck buddy

 

yes to teh sunflower seeds

that works well

 

Good job!

I did Mt. Whitney last July. Going up where there's little air KILLED ME. I had one more after that (celebratory) and kicked it. Granted, my preparation for Whitney already had me cutting down to a few a week.

Hiking is awesome to quit smoking. As is running!
And since you're digging on bananas (I used carrots and apples) -

 

i did that as well. i knew it would hard watching people smoke and smelling smoke, but i knew i would be stronger if i was able to overcome that. when you find cigarette smoke stinks, you know you truly quit.

good job! keep it up, it's just going to get harder and harder (for me at least). just watch out for stressed out days.

 

Careful with the bananas... eat too many and you may never poop again.
Try alternating with the carrots

 

haha, i just have like 2 a day. anytime i feel very weak i eat one. so far today im good though. my buddy who quit with me came over and was like "dude, let's just have one we don't have to tell anyone" and i told him no. no one would have known either.. i can't believe how strong ive been through this so far.

 

^Good stuff!
Kickass. I couldn't do the "hang out with smokers" part, I'm weak like that.

 

^^ Srsly, that is amazing will power! And with all the money you will be saving on not smoking you can buy yourself a present as a reward for being so awesome at not smoking

 

not a day goes by i dont want a smoke but i have quit for about 3 years now more or less. but i do have the occasional cig whilst i drink
