i started smoking again a week ago, but now am quitting for my girlfriend. she bet me that i cannot, but i want to prove her wrong

i hope this is it for me

Find something else to put into your mouth for the oral fixation.

Such as hard candy or gum or something.

I find sunflower seeds help. I keep picking up chewing off and on. Usually because of drinking with all my buddies.

my suggestion is to put yourself into the situation to be able to get smokes, and just don't smoke them...it's really hard dude...i'm working on it right now. i've done it before, but I'm going strong. if you got a girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other...you can tell them to bribe you with sexual favors...and if you smoke...you won't get none...it hasn't come down to this for me yet, but if it does...i will go there

That's kinky

You just need to be stubborn about it honestly. I agree that putting yourself in a place that you are forced to not smoke is a good way to start. For me it was all about breaking my habits. I actually had to exile myself from the computer for a week because sitting at the computer + smoking went hand in hand.

If all else fails just use the patch. I would avoid the gum though, my uncle started using it and has been hooked on it for over a year now lol.

if you think deeply about life, you should think deeply about cigarettes and how its gonna kill you. trust me you should be blessed to be put on this planet anyways am i right? why push it? WILLPOWER, MENTAL TOUGHNESS, are you weaker than yourself in your mind? is your brain functioning properly? quit THINK DEEPLY ABOUT IT not just quitting, THINK ABOUT HOW ITS GONNA SAVE AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU, when things are that serious, you need to THINK hard and deep

ecigs work for a lot of people. they are safer than traditional cigarettes as theres no combustion process, like a high-tech remedy for an old-age problem. of course quitting altogether is the best.

I quit a while ago. Just started again after going through some stressful shit. back to a pack a day now.

Im planning on going camping by myself for 3 days during a weekend or something to get it out of my system. (That's how long it takes)

So basically.. Ill be too busy running around the woods and too far away from a gas station to worry about smoking a cig. And away from people so when i get inevitably irritable i dont take it out on anyone..

Just havent gotten the extra day off work yet to actually do it yet.. but.. thats the plan.

thats gross bro. a pack a day?? sorry 2 hear ur going thru shit
