Quit Smoking... (A Discussion)

[mudpuppy]

^Hey! I used to run marathons too, but I started smoking! Right after the Marine Corps marathon, 2005, I started smoking again. I still smoke but I've been doing some running lately. yesterday I was at the track and I really hit a good stride and I was like "Yes! THIS is why you must quit!"

Oh boy am I ever gonna need anyone and everyone's help here!!! We were buying bags of tobacco that we rolled ourselves so as to save money, within the last two days every single store that sold it around us, has been completely wiped out. We cannot afford to buy regular packs/cartons of cigarettes, my signifigant other and I have been smoking for at least the past 25 years. We have both tried quitting a number of times, and it was not pretty at all. We both tend to have tempers, and this time we are literally being forced to quit because of the lack of product. It has been completely taken off the shelves all around us, we do not have credit cards or debit cards, so getting it off the internet is an impossibility as well.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!!!

I wish you all the luck in the world LadyHitchiker! So far I've only got one day behind me. I'm not doing all that bad at the moment. Certain circumstances make it a bit more difficult at times though. But, one baby step at a time I suppose.

I keep a pack of cigs in the cupboard above the stove. I only smoke when I'm mad at the world..

I questioned myself as to why I can't just store lollipops up there instead of cigs..turns out I might be addicted to that moment. Bad or good, I'm addicted to the idea that when I'm totally upset, I can have a cig that will release it's toxins in my body, and secretly kill me...

I think after typing this, I'm gonna go downstairs and throw those cancer sticks away..maybe take a walk or something, next time I'm mad.

One day is great progress--change your routine if you can--deep breaths when the urge strikes. You are fighting a battle with something that has a grip on your body...but this is your body and you will win.

I smoked from the age of 8 (yes EIGHT) and although over the years I tried to quit I always failed, that was until April 2006. That was when I gave up the dreaded weed and I have not smoked a *** (cig) since. My wife smokes and she is banished to leper corner (the back garden) the smell is putrid and I cant believe I spent the best part of 30 years pulling on these things and smelling like an ashtray. Do I feel better for giving up? Nope, better off or fitter? Nope but I am glad I kicked the habit and all through will power alone
