I will be watching your progress. I too am planning on quitting within the next week after 35+ years and I'm ready to take the plunge. My biggest concerns are the weight gain and quitting drinking at the same time. I have to quit drinking too because every time I've quit smoking in the past, I've started again after having a few drinks. Since I don't drink much anyway it shouldn't be a big deal. The last time I quit (for over 3 years) I went to a party and was back to a pack a day the next morning. These fucking things suck, and I want to live long enough to meet my grandchildren some day. eidolonFIRE, Wild Fire, baldie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know that you can never...ever have one again....for if you do you will be right back at it. I quit Cold turkey without any patches or e-cigs....I feel that is the best way due to not using a crutch. If you can make it through a week and then a month you will be good to go. baldie, eidolonFIRE, sabreeyes and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

That's my plan unfortunately every time I have tried cold turkey I have failed badly... But the nurse at my Doctors is going to back me up with a weekly visit to the surgery to check my peak flow and weight and to give some encouragement so there is no excuse this time. I have been told as well that as I stop I should start doing some gentle exercise one to keep weight down and two its a great way to demonstrate to your self how much more energy I will have over time as my lungs slowly recover. sabreeyes, ChknFngr and little_old_man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that nurse can help you with the "light gentle exercise" area too. One goal you should set for yourself is to take all the money you save in the first year and buy yourself a big kickass gaming rig. baldie and sabreeyes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First things first....you have to make up your own mind 1st, you want to stop !! I carried a pack of cigs (unopened btw) in my pocket, for days/weeks, saying I will have one later from there it went to have 1 the next day, and b4 I knew it was over. I guess the feeling I had 1 there if I wanted it maybe helped..... But is very tough and good luck !!!! COLD TURKEY I say but they did not have all this new e cig ect.... when I quit years ago.

Even lighting your lighter is a trigger..... BTW Nicotine is not the problem.. it is the other shit in tobacco that is the problem. I proved it to myself this last time. Here in the US........ some folks of low income will go pay 50 cents (used to be 25) for one New Port cig. One at a time. They wont smoke anything else. Not the same to satisfy their addiction. Vape to quite.... not to create a new habit. Gunny and baldie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
