yeah I gave up coffee too for me coffee and fags are a pair. so for a while I drank tea instead.
in the morning you could look up a healthy lung compared to a lung of a person that’s smoked a lot just to give you the motivation.

I tried smoking in sixth grade. We used to steal my friends sisters Marlboro’s. No filters. Smoked for awhile, but I quit before 7th grade.

I smoked a real lot for greater than 50 years. I haven’t smoked anything in greater than six months at this point.

It is, Up From The Ashes For Me!

I’ve tried multiple times to quit with no success yet. My schizophrenia gets a lot worse when I try to quit. I use nicotine lozenges to help in not smoking. Now I’m trying to at least cut back on smoking. I’m taking extra zyprexia too. Good luck with quiting.

I don’t like the term quitting smoking because it implies your losing something your not when you stop smoking you are winning. or so many reasons its an addiction and the de nile is a river in Egypt.LOL

16.06.06 is my first day off cigs
I was in hospital and someone who had just come in 10 days earlier said to me I didn’t know you smoked… That was my last cig I’d been trying that trick for months of someone in there never having seen me smoke.

I got to 60 a day at times so I had to quit
No impulse control.

Used a lot of nicorette products for 2 yrs it increases your chances to use a replacement

I thought I would bump this as it is relevant for so many. I gave up for 75 days last year but when I was hospitalised I started again. I stopped again 2 weeks ago.

Anyone else trying just now?

I see that river is in Egypt, and it is also in planet Earth :slight_smile:

I quit inhaling tobacco smoke in 1983. I quit puffing on tobacco smoke in 2006. I quit for good then.

Four years ago I had a roommate quit with me — never smoked since

Have you quit for a day? I cant

I usually quit cold turkey every time ive tried to quit. Longest i went was 1 year i think. Distractions are needed, i also started buying candy to snack on when the cravings hit.

I end up smoking again from getting stressed

I couldn’t quit for a day, but I’m stopped now. I asked for and received help.
