Going cold turkey on tobacco

anon94176359 · February 21, 2021, 10:40pm

I really want to quit so have just binned my remaining tobacco. Things might get a bit hairy but am convinced it’s worth it

Best of luck …

Good luck!

Quitting smoking is beyond worth it!!

Good luck @anon94176359! It isn’t easy, both my parents used to smoke so I’ve seen how hard it can be. However, should you fall of the wagon, get up and try again. Research has shown it takes on average 12 attempts before being successful.

It is. I’m rooting for you.

Hey, I’ve been on a mission to quit too… how about that we’d share our thoughts in this thread and post here and support eachothers out too?

Good idea man! Has been 1 hour since my last cig

It’s totally worth it. I quit and I’m so glad I did.

Heigen5 · February 21, 2021, 10:53pm

I’m just smoking my last one atm. then I’m out of having any tobacco anyways. I’m not gonna buy any tomorrow.

I downloaded a budgeting app and was shocked how much of my income was going on cigs

CoCo · February 21, 2021, 10:54pm

Yeah. They’re way too expensive

Mountainman · February 21, 2021, 10:54pm

I’m cutting back before the quit, don’t think I could just stop

Good luck though

My dad has had two heart attacks and a stroke. Won’t quit smoking. He has a pacemaker

I’m showing good progress on my quit… I’m past the 48 hour mark, and cold turkey is my best approach historically, to add my two cents.

Oxygen tanks. Part of a lung. Cancer is expensive.

I used to smoke a pack a day for 8 years. I stopped smoking 3 years ago. Best thing I’ve done. It was dificult. I tried many times. Last time I used nicotine patches and I had success.

Good luck! You can do it!

Heigen5 · February 21, 2021, 11:12pm

Yeah, well I’ve been trying to quit smoking for years but felt like my free will isn’t quiet there, because of my Sz. I know I can quit though, so I’m gonna post here and chat about it now on.

cigarino · February 21, 2021, 11:12pm

me too brother we can keep eachother motivated to not pick up the cigs again. life has more to over. i want to try drinking more tea (i know u have some kickass cups lol) and i will cut out soda

Newlyborn · February 21, 2021, 11:14pm

Try nicotine replacement therapy, mouth spray is really helpful, once I stopped smokimg for 4 months

anon64158233 · February 21, 2021, 11:20pm

I’m past the ‘drowsy’ stage and into the ‘cranky’ stage which is tough terrain!

I’ve tried and failed so many times… it’s serious stuff. Especially since the people around you get their hopes up.
