Quitting sucks

Quitting really isn't that hard.

For some people. Nicotine reacts reacts differently in different people's brains. My mom stop smoking once, and never needed or wanted to back. My dad tried to quit probably a dozen times over the years before he made, and last I heard, he still feels cravings.
 
I was a smoker, for more years than I care to remember (roughly thirty years). I quit once in 2000, made it to 2003 then started back up again, bad idea. Quit again in 2009 and have yet to start back up again.

I quit cold turkey both times, using hard candy as my replacement. it wasn't easy either time, and there are still days when I smell someone smoking, and I think, oh I'd like to have a cigarette, but most days, I have no desire to restart.
Looking at the prices on cigarettes also helps to keep my away.

I wish you luck, as I know it's not easy, but you can do it!

Eh, like I said I started smoking again a couple times and believe me I have my days where I definitely crave them but I haven't bought a pack in years...but if you really wanna quit and make up your mind it's not that hard. I think most people that struggle with it just aren't fully committed or don't believe they can quit.

Nope

I've been an irritable jack ***. I had to go buy a prime time yesterday because it was either that or go pick a fight with a stranger. For my wife it was easy and I don't understand it. I was a raging alcoholic for 10 years(a fifth every day for myself) I quit that and it wasn't nearly as hard as this is, even without the shakes.
