As some know I have been smoking for 10 years as of Jan 21st of this year. I am trying to quit cold turkey. I used to smoke a pack or so a day and now only smoke a few a day, but with past attempts of quitting I made it a few days and broke down. Well now I am on day 3 of the cold turkey plan and it's either everyone must die, or I need something to eat. This post is sane due to lots of sherbert ice cream, chex mix, chilli, celery and ranch, cheese and crackers, plsu whatever else I could find to eat.

So anyone else ever try to break a bad habbit and win?

back to eating!

Are you quitting smoking or are you pregnant??? :razz2: Just kidding!!!!

Best of luck to you Allan. I know it's tough to do but the rewards are worth it. Stick with it and you'll have plenty of money for mods and cars.

Quitting cars is pretty tough. I always ended up giving in . :razz2: :rant: It's 20x more addicting and more time and money consuming than any drug or cigarette will ever be.

I don't see the problem there either....lol

I tried to cut the caffeine out of my life, and couldn't. I was home sick for 2 days of the worst headache of my life. I wanted to shoot myself. I don't think I will ever do that again. I have just cut back, and cut pop out instead. I only have one cup of coffee in the morning and I'm good to go. I know some people say coffee is worse, but at least I'm not taking in a couple cups of sugar a day.

My stepmother teases me about that all the time. She's from VA and they only know it as SODA. She also teases me about ending sentences in prepositions. Kinda like "Oh you guys are going to the track, can I go with?"

my dad did it cold turkey as well.. smoked for 22 years before that.. and at certain points he was up to 2 to 3 packs per day..

Now what helped him is a lot of candy.. just throw it in your mouth and suck on it..
now since you are young and have a girlfriend/fiance dont know which of the two.. a steady relationship is the word i guess.. sex can help as well to get your mind off the smoking too..

gaming as well...


no masturbating for 3 months.. man that must of been hell.....

Eating is helping. I haven't stopped all day/afternoon/night. Everything else doesn't happen often enough. LOL

And no spanking for 3 months. Fuck that.

Why, were you caught? That must have been difficult.

My mom quit cold turkey ~4 years ago on easter. She hasn't smoked since. Sunflower seeds helped her through the addiction. You can chew on them instead of eating everything you see.

My dad used filters and then switched to cinnamon sticks. Nawed on those for a year or two after he quit.
