Quitting Cigarettes...

[Ames]

REALLY FUCKIN SUCKS. Im going crazy. Im only 16 hours into this thing and i want to rip my hair out already. I quit opiates cold turkey after being addicted for three years, This was two years ago. I withdrew from taking 200mgs a day..It lasted 5 days and was probably the hardest thing ive ever done. Ive been clean over 2 years now...So WHY IS IT SO HARD TO QUIT SMOKING!!??

I wouldn't play project 1999 if I was trying to quit cigarettes; it's not exactly good for reducing stress.

Long term nicotine and SSRI (or quite a few benzodiazepines) are a real hassle to deal with. I recommend you go to a walk-in clinic, or your general practitioner and explain to the doctor that you're trying to quit smoking and having issues doing so, and that you'd like a prescription of buspirone to assist in curving the cravings and mental fatigue.

no smoking for two years. Cold turkey. To succeed, you need to really want to quit. Not because your sig other is nagging you, not due to the price, or because the surgeon generals says that smoking can cause low birth weight, or the skull and crossbones on the cover, or whatever. You have to get it cemented in your mind that you don't want to smoke. Don't bother with the crutches, work on your head.

Statistically, you're bound to have a relapse so you should probably just go ahead and start now to have as little aggrevation as possible.

Relapse on cigarettes? Lol wut.


Yea...I really just want to stop. Its one thing i really dont like about myself..its a pretty gross habit. Not to mention they cost 11.25$ a pack here. I tried to chew a few pieces of that nicotine gum but that shit was just straight up nasty...ughhhh

Quitting smoking sucks, I've been "clean" for nearly 8 months and just recently fell off the wagon. Bought 2 packs this last week, I know it won't last though. After a few weeks I honestly couldn't stand cigarettes and I don't really care for them now. After a few days you lose the taste, after a few weeks you lose the craving.

It Gets better!
