Quitting smoking....

[ChilliwackGuy]

I quit smoking cold turkey on April 15, 2000 @ 3:30PM PST - and I made April 16, 2000 - 3:30PM my official date - as to me 24 hrs is enough time to lose the last bits of niccotine / dopamine from blood / neural pathways.

No pills / inhalers / water vapor decoys - just plain old cold turkey.

Along the way I lost friends - gained a ton of weight then lost it - but I am still cigarette free - 10 years later.

MAJOR TIP - avoid cigarettes at all costs - i.e. don't even volunteer to buy smokes for a friend or offer to hold a cigarette for a friend

^ + 100 !!! That's how I went back to smoking the second time.
Plus it was around finals, a lot of stress going on, but in the end ... f'n cigarette won

But you know, even if you have to quit a couple of times, that's OK. It's a process, you know, so be patient with yourself and keep trying, you learn every time.

OP please let us know your thoughts after yo'uve had time to think about it some.


YOU CAN DO IT!!! :D
