It was my 19th birthday on sunday and I've decided to quit smoking I've past the 48 hour mark and going deep into my 3rd day as a non smoker

I enjoy smoking and don't really want to quit but I always feel tired and my health is at risk so I thought I owe it to myself to quit this shit and quit smoking cigs and start getting addicted to smoking more pussy

if there's any smokers out there who want to join me in this quest to freedom post your shit here

If anyone has quit before share the light

Techniques and shit

I gave up smoking about 6 months ago, but every time I have a drink I crumble. It's really fucking hard when other people are smoking and your'e sipping on your pint. Think I might have to knock drinking on the head for a while if I'm gonna do it proper!

Hey man, what are you doing to help you quit? are you going 'cold turkey' with no patches or anything? I've known people to give up with will power alone but those people are often few and far between. One of my best mates recently gave up smoking (it's been over a month now and he used to be on 20 a day) by going to see a hypnotist. I laughed at first when he told me this but he assures me it's working for him so he's proved me wrong!

Well done Jynx. Monday was 1yr to the day since I stopped. I was proper 20 a day for a million years. 3 days. 3 days was all it took. 3 days of horrible discomfort. After that it got easier; kind of like a half-life thing. After two or three weeks I hardly thought about it. Maybe once or twice a day.

You're pretty much there, although all evidence says that it affects everyone differently.

I quit when I was about 17 but I still smoked weed so I wasn't that hard for me but I know a few friends who have told me about this book (i'll find out the name for you) that goes through all the reasons why you smoke and helps you along the way. I can't remember exactly what was in it but by what I remember people telling me sounds as if it works.
