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. :cool:
My heart is actually racing. Any success stories from ex-smokers would be appreciated!
Re: Just had my last cigarette.
Wow it must be 5 minutes now? Well done!
I've gave up wanking for that long once. Never again though.
Re: Just had my last cigarette.
How many do you usually smoke per day?

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.
Re: Just had my last cigarette.
Cold turkey is always the best method. Goodluck!
Re: Just had my last cigarette.
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 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. ;D
Re: Just had my last cigarette.
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. :)
Re: Just had my last cigarette.
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 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.
