Good luck! They say I couldn't smoke till I was 18, well I am 18, had a trip to the Dominican Republic with some friends, most of them tried it, coughed like crazy, just wasn't their day, girls, ladies, beautiful tanned w.e watching me, screw it, didn't even take one puff. It's all about your will bro, and you have a lot of it, keep that up. + Rep for trying, + Rep for giving in, + Rep for succeeding.

I'd say it's the first three to four days that's the hardest, it gets easier after that. :thup:

You've probably gotten like 100 rep from this thread :p

Apparently it's very hard to stop smoking.. So good luck.
My dad used to smoke about 40 a day. Then he decided that he couldnt be bothered, and never smoked again. No stress, No worries. He made it look so easy xD

Goodluck Dude :D

I take anything I get for free. It's a difference between use and abuse (I think), as long as I don't buy anything I hope I won't get myself addicted :p everyone I know that has stopped smoking just stopped, without any problem. Well, some gained weight. Some didn't. heh.

I stopped smoking with no problem. However, I admit that I only smoked about 3 months, during a summer. I decided to stop when, in one night, I coughed a lot from one cigarette and I got a really nasty headache. No, not like those you get when you just start. A nasty one. And then I realised how bad it is and stopped.

However, I wish you a lot of luck and be strong against the addiction.

I started smoking when I was 11 and eventually got to a point where I was downing at least 3 packs a day. I think my friends realized how bad it was when I woke up at 7 AM and went through a pack and a half by 3 PM. At least, 3 was when we NOTICED I was out of ciggarettes [and money to buy them with]

I still get cravings, even though it's been awhile. I don't know how long it'll last, but it seems like the cravings never really "go away". I get them almost every day.

I have a few, from time to time. Mainly at work after we unload a truck, I go out with the rest of the boys on the team to have one of someone else's. I refuse to buy them anymore because living money is tight enough that I don't have to feed a habit.

Overall, I'd say I only shaved a few years off my life ^.^ Never wanted to be old anyway o_O

I wish you all the luck in the world man...
So you're not using any patches or anything? Just going cold turkey? I think you should make a real blog instead of just editing your post, I know I'd read it..:thup:

I agree with the above poster concerning a blog.

If you want me to set up a blog for you to post on, I can.

I never understood why people enjoyed smoking, a force of habit, maybe.

Or a necessity, I reckon. After a while.


I once tried smoking. I didn't like it, the smell on my hands and my breath.

However, if to be honest, after that one try, I kept thinking about doing another one, for three days.

It was so addictive.


But I didn't.


Anyway, I wish you good luck stopping smoking!

...No, I don't wish you luck.

I wish you willpower.

The buzz is known to be a stress relieving. Now a days people with a lot of angst or problems turn to smoking. But we still have the it's-cool-to-smoke thing going on. Of course there are other reasons why people smoke, but I believe the most common is stress.

So, I believe enjoying is the wrong word to use. Cigs are drugs just like anti-depressants, sleeping pills, or alcohol. They have a purpose to improve human life or personality, but they also have some side effects as mild or as extreme they may be.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
