A long time ago I said I quit smoking which is true…I stopped for almost three months but I started again and didn’t want to say because of my pride @shutterbug said I couldn’t stop so I didn’t come forward…I was too ashamed…
I keep trying to stop. I made it all the way today until tonight and I couldn’t stop crying because cigarettes are so expensive…I hope to stop tomorrow. Can you guys forgive me?
Nicotine is a nasty drug. Many fail who try and it’s common to try multiple times. No shame on you. Do your best and try hard. All you can do and if needed talk to a gp. Chantix worked great for me.
Quitting is hard,
And sometimes takes multiple tries.
I switched to vaping about a month ago and it was a pretty easy transition.
Maybe you could consider that as an alternative?
Good luck on trying to quit tomorrow.
I understand. Maybe just continue to cut back. Hang in there! 
@rogueone thanks man…I have no business smoking cigarettes when we have such little money…
@GoldenRex I can’t vape…I cough too much plus I want to try cold turkey…
Cold Turkey is the best way juke box. Only way I’ve succeeded. It’s okay I can think of a lot worse you could do then tell a little lie like that.
Try to find a positive habit to replace it with. You can do it
Nothing to forgive, it’s an addiction and a ■■■■■■■ of one. I’ve wanted a ciggy everyday for the last 27 years. Tomorrow morning is a whole new 24 hours, best of luck in it.
thank you @shutterbug I am so relieved to see you reply to me…I feel like I let everyone down…including my girlfriend and my dogs. They deserve better. I just feel totally defeated right now.
I know cigarettes are expensive but they are also very addicting. And in there own weird way they do help us find comfort which is addicting. So don’t beat yourself up! It’s okay that you slipped up tomorrow’s a new day!
I’ve tried to quit over 8 times and I just gave up and kept smoking.
Wow… Just wow. What kind of weird relationship you guys have?
@anon92220549 we haven’t spoke to each other in a long time, that’s all.
Hell, don’t feel bad; your dogs are probably sneaking smokes in the back yard when you’re not around.
My dad smoked two packs a day for 30 years. He quit cold turkey after his second heart attack. It’s good that he quit but don’t let it come to that @jukebox. Don’t wait until a heart attack, or a stroke, or lung cancer to quit.
i quit smoking and vaping around november last year, for some reason i feel like picking up the vape again so i ordered some cheap disposables a couple days ago because even if im vaping again i dont want to spend much money on it
Some people on here can be real ass holes, myself included. Try not to take it to heart. I know you can quit.
I don’t think you need to put yourself under pressure. Sure it’s bad for you and costs money, but I think you actually get some therapeutic benefit from smoking when you have mental illness like sz.
Making yourself upset about it isn’t going to help your mental health. Perhaps you should give up trying to quit and get your head right before trying again?
My pdoc doesn’t want me to quit yet, as he thinks I won’t cope with it at all well. That might be true for now, but I do hope to stop in the future. I am just not in a rush.
If you try to do too many things at once you will fail. Just focus on a couple of achievable goals and you will get around to it.
All this shaming people for smoking has to stop. So much is unhealthy, and smokers are vilified for their habits, which makes people feel like this. It’s not fair. We can make our own choices and we don’t need to be told all the time how bad it is for you. We know that.
You’re being to hard on yourself and you don’t owe anyone an apology nor do you need to justify what you do. It’s your life! Don’t worry about what other people think. I don’t think anyone here has the right to judge anyone!
No one’s vilifying anyone. There are tons of evil things that people do, but smoking in and of itself simply isn’t one of them. It’s just that smoking is like the most dangerous way to get nicotine, you know? Like, you’re inhaling a bunch of sh it along with it, aren’t you? Whatever. I’m not a specialist and I’ve never studied this. All I know is that my grandpa would still be here if he didn’t smoke.
Don’t be hard on yourself… Szs smoke a loot… Its a nasty habit, but life is so difficult 
Plus its not so bad if you can smoke around 10 cigarettes per day…
If you want to quit, just try it again, but don’t feel guilty about not quitting. Me personally, I have no will for example, but you have something to fight for 
. Hugs
It’s hard not to smoke when you’re a smoker and your nerves are freaking shot. I don’t blame you, I had a similar situation when I tried to quit smoking by vaping and a buddy did it with me. He got off of cigs and was so happy and kept crediting me for the vaping idea, I never told him I fell off the wagon and started smoking cigs again.
