Tight-Lines Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Keep it up my man. I quit chewing about 8 months ago and still have to keep toothpicks around to chew on when I am working. Hopefully your craving goes away more quickly than mine has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beez Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I first started sneaking cigarettes when I was twelve, but didn't have enough access on the regular to be a full-time smoker 'til I was 15, and then I was off! Always a chain smoker, from the day I was able to get actual packs of cigarettes in my grimy teenage hands! Anyway, I was finally able to quit in Oct '11. I was dating a non-smoker and hiding how much I smoked was annoying/felt like high school/kinda dumb - a friend of mine had found an e-cig that she really liked, I tried it and decided to give it a go. Best decision ever! Having the e-cigarette was the ticket. I could still blow 'smoke' rings and pull it out and go for a smoke when my cigarette smoking friends went out. At some point I got really sick for 6 days and didn't smoke the e-cig et voila! Non-smoker. Lost the nicotine craving. @Tatanium2012 I keep an e-cig with me at all times. I haven't actually taken a puff of one for close to a year, but having it is helpful! I don't drink anymore (believe it or not, you can develop an allergy to alcohol!), but when I did I could never quit smoking, I tried! Those two go together! The minute I started sipping a drink I would start thinking/obsessing/searching for cigarettes. By the time I quit smoking I had already had to quit drinking - functioning at parties was still a new and curious thing for me. I found that my e-cig allowed me to hang out with the smokers like I was used to without having a smoke. Worked for me!! Congrats to all the non-smokers etc out there now! It was hard but I am really glad to be a non-smoker now. Brock Varty and MGblues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 The weird thing is this was the easiest time I've ever had not smoking. Only a couple blips of cravings. I still have partial packs scattered around the house/car and probably half a carton sitting on my dresser. The only major difference between this time quitting and the ones in the past is I really just got fed up. I wasn't quitting for single reason like cost, health, girlfriend, family, etc. I just simply didn't want another cigarette for whatever reason. One weird thing I have to get used to is actually being able to smell cigarettes now. Before I could never actually smell cigarettes, smokers or pretty much anything to tell you the truth.

Trust me, when you are a reformed smoker you can smell a smoker from half a mile away. The smell will turn your stomach. It's quite odd really. Keep up the good work man!
