and just a warning, don’t replace your nicotine addiction with another addiction! thats why you hear people say they get fatter when they quit smoking. they just replace one addiction with another. or at least find a healthy addiction. mine was working out and running.
Yeah i know im already ahead of you on that i used to weigh 230 pounds before i joined the core
Its Corps, not core:confused:
sorry, but some people do call it core espically my father hes was also in, i guess it rubbed off on me
It’s spelt “Corps”, pronounced like “core”. We’re talking about the Marine Corps right?
yes we are, sorry for my lack of grammer or what ever you want to call it
This is the only way. Quit once for 5 years and now its been 6 on the second quit. I will never go back to smoking. It killed my uncles and my father. It will still probably kill me.
Your a hacking junkie, if you want to keep it that way then whine, cry and chew gum with an electric cigarette, with a patch on you.
Make up your mind, be a man and just do it. Otherwise your a mindless worm that needs to die of lung cancer for the good of man kind. JK, sort of.
well its been 3 hours with out one so we will see how the night goes
Good luck.
One of the things that keeps me quit is the time I have invested in being quit. When you were three hours quit, you had three hours, one drag takes you to zero. You get a day in, you have a day, one drag takes you to nadda. Remeber how miserable it is, remember how much the craving sucks & then remember that you want to quit. You take a drag you gotta go through that again. The longer you are quit the easier it gets, the stronger the pull of say, being a month quit. Take a drag and you have to do that month over. Now I have over 14 years of quitness. . . . starting over wasn’t even a temptation in the midst of divorce, in the midst of family tradgedies . . . I walked through without a single drag, because I didn’t want to have to quit again. Fight it like you never want to have to fight it again!
Just keep thinking about that tumor you’ll get at the Y of your lungs. Your family get’s to watch you turn into a skeleton before their eyes as you wear a diaper and cough up blood. You will welcome the morphine in the end as your family slowly poisons you to stop the agony.
There will be plenty of guilt to go around.
The physical withdraw only lasts a short time, the mental issues will take longer. Just realize that you will be thinking of them ever minute, hour, then every day, then once a week and finally never again. I sometimes smoke in my dreams but, that is it.
You can do this. Don’t just do it for yourself do it for your family. I would die if one of my children took up smoking. Especially, because of my influence.
Good luck, we all wish you a long an smoke free life.
Beer was a big trigger for me. I didn’t have a drink for 9 months. I also had a lot of pent-up energy and found myself fidgeting with stuff all the time. Find stuff to keep yourself occupied.
