SMOKE!

I really need to quit smoking.

My grandfather was an avid smoker. He was playing basketball with me at the park when I was only a kid, probably six or seven years old. As he was smoking a cigarette, he looked at it, and I suppose it dawned on him that it tasted awful. He proceeded to flick it and never smoked since.

My father is also a smoker and still smokes to this day. He did all kinds of drugs in his day but the hardest one to let go of he says, are his precious cigarettes.

    I just told you about Allen Carr. Let me know if that works for you.

    You can expect a VERY difficult time with this, it is no joke about nicotine being the hardest drug to kick.

    Nicotine withdrawal is no fun, I'd think. I pray for your success in this endeavor.

    I like what I see on this blog, though. Keep up the good work! Follow't.

    Best of luck to you man. It's great that you are trying to quit though. That shit is seriously. SERIOUSLY bad for your health. My father's been a regular smoker and his health is just terrible right now.
    Definitely following man. Supporting in all the ways I can.

    Good luck man! I know it must be hard. My grandmother had a hard time stopping. In the end it's a really good choice for your health.

    I'm glad that I never got hooked to cigs, they do not seem to be worth the time/money/lifespan you pay to smoke em.

    Maybe try switching to the Blue electronic ciggarettes and gradually decrease nicotene?

    Oh, I wish I saw that moment when your grandfather quit smoking.
    The problem with nicotine addiction is that no matter how strong your will to quit smoking is (that helps you to overcome the psychical aspect of the addiction), you will still feel physically ill from the withdrawal. I don't actually know how it feels, but I think it might even be comparable to actual pain, which is terrible.
    Best of luck to you. Nice blog, followed. And keep us updated on your smoke-quitting status :)

    It's really hard for the first 3 days. Once you commit though, it gets easier! The withdrawal though is very hard...headaches, irritability..

    how i quit smoking: through pack of butts out my window (lighter included) to a homeless man with a coffee and a meal. im sure it made his day, as it made mine. from then on ive been living off of +karma points feelings, and i must say its the easiest and greatest way to stay in shape mentally and physically. hope this helps.

    Feed your addictive nature with something else. When you give up smoking, take up another hobby that can fill the time.

    Blogging? Online video games? Gym?

    You can do it! Just exercise instead of smoking, you'll be in better shape and it will distract you.
