pstone11 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I started smoking in 1992, I quit 3 months before my son was born in 2003. Since then, I still haven't even tried to go back.. It's a whole new world. I'm not gonna say that the urge is ever going to go away, but after a while, it's not even worth it.

cmrs2k Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 No offense meant, but I just don't see using a substitute habit to quit one. When I quit, I used a similar principle, but something not so addictive. I bought a bunch of the beef jerky "snuff". I did that because I could "dip" it like snuff, but no nicotine and not addictive so I would be able to get rid of the nicotine from the smoke and no new addiction formed. I chewed some gum and what not, but to me, gum triggered my mind to think, "I just ate, so I should be smoking now." I also only "dipped" the jerky when I was really wanting to smoke. Now, it was my wife and I so the number is more, but I still put $70 per week into a money market account. We use it for vacations, cars, etc. Also, for me, another very helpful part was martial arts. I had been into martial arts since I was 5, but while in high school I let it go and started getting high and that ended up w/ regular smoking as well. I quit the drugs eventually, then gave up drinking (by seriously 2 weeks before my 21st birthday) and the only thing left was the cigs. I got back into martial arts and started working out again (little bit of strength training, a lot more cardio than anything). Believe me, there is no better way to not want a cigarette than to work really hard. I have since added a few more credentials to my martial arts list, I have saved a lot of $ and I am a lot better off than I would have been as far as I can tell. Compared to when I smoked, I almost never get sick. No constant hacky smokers cough either. What you are doing is unlike anything that I can think of. Only someone who has quit smoking can ever understand what it is like. I have tried to explain to people who never have smoked and it is impossible for them to understand what it takes to do it. Please know that you can do it and that while it is not always easy, it can be done. Every day that passes is one more step toward easier days. Don't get discouraged when you have those moments of craving. Fight through them. Rest assured, if you work yourself out like crazy, the craving will die. As time passes, you will have less and less cravings. For me, it was not until about 3 months of not smoking before I really felt like I was going to be successful, but indeed I was. At six months though, no problem, I knew that I would never return to being a smoker. I wish you the best of luck. You will be very glad that you made this decision if you stick to it.
