Quitting Smoking...
shardian:
When I got sick as a kid, I associated certain foods with the sickness. I had a smores pop tart one time right before I came down with the flu, never touched the things again.
I say this because if you can get yourself to associate cigarettes subconsciously with sickness, then you have a good shot of quitting. So here's what you do: tell your significant other to do something to a cigarette in your pack one day in the near future. Something really, really horrible. Then after you smoke the pack they can tell you what they did. After finding out you smoked a cig that had been dipped in the toilet, you just may get the will-power to give them up! :laugh2:

When my friends and I wanted to quit smoking we just started making brownies.

Day 6 is just about over with...and it was actually pretty easy. To say I didn't have a craving would be a big ole' fat lie, but what the hell...I can do this.
Dogs still love me...
Wife still loves me...
Hell, I bet Cheffo still loves me!
:laugh:

Just don't get cocky. I have a friend who quits periodically and he always says he has quit smoking after a week or two, rather than that he is quitting. He really believes he has kicked it and so, when he's really stressed or he's drinking at the bar and decides to have a cigarette or two, just this one time, it seems like no big deal to him. Of course, a week later he's smoking a pack a day again. At six days you have a long way to go, not to minimize what you've already done. Good luck.

I gave up shmoking 8 months 2 weeks and 2 days ago. I was a pack a day shmoker and went cold turkey. I shmoked for 20 years. I tried about 10 times to give up but always returned to that sweet sweet shmokey goodness.
It really sucked giving up. Even all this time later it still sux at times. Cravings still spring from nowhere and without warning.
There have been a few occasions where I have shmoked while party drinking, maybe a total of 3 times but I DO consider myself a non-shmoker and I am confident I won't ever take up shmoking again.
According to my little firefox pop-up I have avoided shmoking 6539 shmokes and saved $3008.00
I feel no different. My health does not seemed to have noticeably improved. If anything I have just gotten angrier with the world.
Good luck. It will get harder before it gets easier. :badmood:
