Thread: Just had my last cigarette.

That's it, as of 21.16 Jan 3rd I shall not smoke again.

Its been 1 minute so far, going pretty well!

This thread isn't for plaudits of course as I haven't acheived anything yet, but just want it as public as possible for extra motivation.

2 mins now. Think the cravings are starting! Haha. If I can do the first three days I know I can do it. I quit once before for 3 months then studiply got dragged back in by testing to see how digusting it would taste after that period - not this time - once bitten twice shy.

My heart is actually racing. Any success stories from ex-smokers would be appreciated!

Wow it must be 5 minutes now? Well done!

I've gave up wanking for that long once. Never again though.

How many do you usually smoke per day?

That's a point, maybe I should replace it with wanking.

I smoke rollies so I'm not actually 100% sure, but I'd say its over 20 and under 30.

Wow, typing that actually brings it home that i'm not the light smoker i liked to think I was.

Before I went to jail I would be a social smoker I fucking hate that " social smoker" basically have say four or five cigs when having a beer, went inside and have never had a cig since, I think the fact inside all you can smoke is rollies put me off for life!! Been just over three years now.

Yes that is quite a lot of smoke there mate, Can't really give you much advice just remember when you get a craving it is usually for only 10-15 minutes so just keep telling yourself that you only have to wait for a short amount of time.

All the best with it mate.

Cold turkey is always the best method. Goodluck!

It's all downhill after the first week or so. I used to smoke a pack to a pack and a half a day, and look at me now - the most beloved member of the best boxing forum on the planet!

I had my last cigarette last night. Been smoking for more or less 13 years.

I also had my last cigarette about 2pm today!

But back on track now, found the smoking stick and ready for it.

Decided to also have a fagless spliff to take edge off! First day back at work tomor, need to chill.

I notice the others just let this go but can we have an elaboration here? I won't let you just casually mention such a thing without my drawing attention to it.

I had my last cigarette 11 yrs ago...

I smoked heavy for well over 2 yrs. I only smoked Djarums.
1 to 2 packs a day everyday.

One day I just stopped. I don't even know why I stopped I just did.
Maybe I had several reasons to and I can't pin point one.
I know family and friends would comment on the smell and on several occasions I though about my health so I'm certain it was a mixture of a couple things.

Good luck.

I started smoking cigs in junior high, stealing em from my mom. By the time I got to high school, was smoking around a pack a day, a little less. I have quit and started back a few times, mostly due to changing a job and having smokes with people on breaks got me back. The last time I quit was about 5 years ago, havent had one since. Good luck man, just think about cancer, and shitty health when you get cravings. Get some chewing gum handy, that helps a little when your first quitting and get cravings.

He's talked about it before, I think that's why most of us just let it slide.

I obviously missed that. Must have been during one of my self imposed exile's....

I know why I quit. One day I was sitting on the shitter and I hacked up a quarter-sized wad of half-congealed blood. Watching that shit run down my hand and drip on to the floor was enough for me.

I had smoked for about 10 years at that point.
