Coffin Nails

Anyone battled with quitting? I have a month to do this. I've tried everything from cold turkey to the patch. Suggestions please...topping myself is not an option.

Why do you have only a month?

The only way you can quit is through sheer will power. It's not pleasant. You basically have to force yourself not to light one up.

cig nazi's...

Smoking is big, clever and makes you look cool in front of your friends.

It also keeps down taxes for non-smokers like myself, so please carry on.

*offers light*

Will power - stop the craving but having lots of s3x...

Chunt Funter, what the hell is s3x? A clever way of saying sex?

Maybe you should change your name to RTard Junior.


@ Whoever the hell started this thread - I just gave up quitting. I was good for about 18 months.

Basically, I said "I can't afford to smoke anymore!" It worked to get me to quit, then I stayed off for a long while. My wife never gave it up, which made it harder on me, but I shoulder the whole of the blame for starting up again.

Good afternoon Chunt Funter.

Fantastic, now all they need to do is block your posting and will be well.

Tom.

@ Tom: You would be bored sensless without me here, plus you need to be taught how to punch properly.

Good afternoon Chunt Funter.

Your girlfriend likes my punch, my donkey punch.

Tom.

I was trying to avoid that association. That and "s3x".

Tom, the only thing I can ask is that is it beer by itself, or only when you are out and being social? Sometimes it is not the substance, but the situation (I have seen people get "clean" tanked just fine in some situations, but absolutely needing a smoke at a party).

Screw it. Start smoking pipes or cigars. At least throat cancer is more easily operable than lung. It ain't pretty, not by a long shot, but this is a kind of "choose your poison" situation.....

Sadly TS, that is the case for me sometimes. Wife and her friends are all typical asian blushers that can't drink more than a spoonful before becoming radishes, so that usually leaves me at home watching the tube or playing games while having a few fingers of some good stuff (or a mug of some choice brew).

I prefer going out, but sometimes that is difficult on the weekends when your drinking buds live across the water (Queens, The Bronx). It is usually easier to meet on a friday and get something.

So, whatever.

Dear Tom.

I wish you lacked you

Love chunty...

Dear Tom,

What was that? I was drinking a cup full of I don't give a fcuk.
You wish you were me you scouse, then you'd be a better person.

Every little helps

Chunty.

Sure it does. Try eating 3 or 4 and see what happens.

I have a month to quit because I’ve set that as a goal, and I’ve been given an ultimatum by my health freak ex-smoker boyfriend. He will not live with a smoker. I can’t blame him. Also - I’m tired of all the unpleasant things associated with smoking, not to mention being a social pariah.

I will miss having a cig with my morning coffee, lighting up while drinking a Sammy with my girlfriends at a bar, and sneaking one in with my outcast co-workers. I will miss looking cool, and getting my essential vitamins/nutrients. Naphthalenes, Cadmium, and Arsenic are among my favorites! Blah, blah, blah.

@ RobD – yeah, fkrs do get rich of selling people BS crap like “you can quit in five days with my fantastic audio hypnosis!”

@ Llamaman suit whatever – you are among the lucky chosen few. Live long and prosper.

DirtyB… more s3x ?? What if I’m already a nympho?
NH…. YES! I’m gonna whine - and b*tch. Be a b*tch…worse than Selma [/Simpsons]

*goes back to work*

I believe the biggest strain on the NHS is pasty faced fat Jocks and their love of Mars Bar Fritters, Pie fritters and even Pizza fritters. Fcuk 'em, I'd happily turn the cnuts away to die in the street like the animals they are.[/good to be good]

That's Glasgow sorted anyway.

wtf? does this seem odd to anyone else?

I think the general consensus for smoking cessation is will power. I sincerely thank those of you who made that very valid point. Thank you Mugz, RobD, and Ninjahedge. JustPlainJeff very amusing. I'm going to give it a good shot.

Back to the regularly scheduled program

...*yawns*...

we all can't be know it alls

chantix eh? might try that. i enjoy smoking and i am also a complete addict. been smoking since before i was born. my whole family 20+ that i see regularly smokes. for me smoking bans are like air bans for non smokers. sorry i know you have done it your whole life and your body ahs been dependent on it your whole life, but the fish say it's killing them and they dont like the smell. so we have to ban it. becuse they are the majority. my keyboards broken so fcuk off.
