Quitting sucks

I'm really interested in how you feel through this process. I never felt like I had a nicotine addiction as much as a habitual system, at least not a physical addiction like other smokers I've known have claimed. I liked the sensation of inhaling and exhaling, which is why the whole full strength to medium to light to ultra-light isn't effective. You get to ultra-lights and you start cutting the damn filters in half because to get anything you have to suck on it harder than a whore trying to suck the bed sheets up through your *******.

I don't think you'd have that problem with the e-cig as the sensation stays the same regardless of nicotine levels? If that's the case then get used to the e-cig first (I hear that takes time) and then weaning the nic shouldn't matter nearly as much. If you get to zero then why care if you're addicted to inhaling chemical free, flavored water vapor.

If I go more than a couple hours without nicotine I start to get anxious. After 4-5 hours I act like a kid that has had too much sugar or someone that has been awake too long. After about 12 hours I will get a headache. I definitely am addicted to nicotine.

I like the whole sensation as well. I like ************ with people while we smoke. I really enjoy being a smoker and wouldn't quit if it wasn't bad for me.

Good luck, just keep reminding yourself that if you make steady progress your body will eventually will lose that physical addiction.

From what I understand, that's the part that may make this a very difficult process for you--the social and psychological aspects. As someone earlier in the thread said, in order for you to succeed you'll likely need to change your habits, hang out in different places, and so forth.
 
So, lots of duplicate posts lately. Not just this thread. Hmmm.

I think heyhey has some sort of setting where every time we reply to one of his posts, he gets a message. When his Inbox is full, the error I get often says something about not posting a duplicate post.
 
So the solution is everyone ignore heyhey.



*shrug* alright.
 
When my dad was younger, he used to smoke a lot. One day he reached back into his mouth and felt a lump in there. He quit cold turkey right after that, and he had been smoking since he was probably 12-14. And he met my mom like a year later, and she would have never dated him if he smoked, so that was motivation for afterwards as well.
 
Duplicate post?

I don't think I repeated myself.

Kinda confused tbh.

Nah bro, I just made a duplicate post, then forgot to delete the quote too. It says you have some sort of inbox full thing or something when I quote you, btw.
 
Quitting really isn't that hard. You just have to want to do it and really set your mind to it. After 3 or 4 days all of the nicotine is out of your system and the physical addiction is gone...it's all mental from there on out. I've quit 3 times due to being young and stupid and starting again after quitting but as long as you make up your mind and commit to it it is not nearly as hard as most people make it out to be, IMO.
