Quit Smoking

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Hi,

I am considering giving up (tobacco) smoking and I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on stopping and staying stopped as I have tried many, many times!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Dan.

    Hey there, I smoked for about 6 years and I tried to quit heaps of times as well. Then one day I finally did it. My best advice is to do it cold turkey, serious. Sounds awful but it works. Also, to be honest you have to REALLY REALLY REALLY want to quit. Not just half-assed kinda want to quit. Also make sure you know why you want to quit, it'll help to keep you focused. Good luck! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt;

    I currently smoke rollup (just started on em). Much better than fags. can't be bothered to stop or even try. Everyone at college smokes so its to hard to try.

    This is my 500 post on these boards. Lets drink a bottle of vodka to 500 great posts, some drug induced ravings, some well constucted advice. But all an insight to the fucked up and twisted workings of my mind.

    (for the administrators, this is just a joke not seriously ment, dont take it wrong)

    How old are you Harry? I'm just curious and I understand if you dont want to tell me.? You know so much about many different kinds of drugs and I was wondering if they have had any kind of effect on your health or mind? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/confused.gif"&gt;

    Don't flatter yourself <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    I was just curious that's all. I was wondering if drugs were such a necessity in your life as between you and Daze, you both seem to be quite an authority in the subject. I am not being judgemental so please don't start getting paranoid, I just wondered if you ever liked not being on drugs? I like feeling healthy most of the time. This question applies to anyone who is on this forum btw and not just you dirty harry (with the persecution complex!) <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    Yeah I'm only 18 n claim to b real no authority on drugs.. I've probably used em all.. many of the in excess..
    I got 6 years of expierience really.. started smoking dope at 12... crack for the first time at 13... a lot of speed round that time to.. 14 chilled out a little bit mainly little use of speed mayb crack pot... 15.. smoking brown... got speed addiciton... OD'd on base quit speed permanent... started injecting for a while... 16 on crack... prety much of everything else.. discovered Acid.. started taking shit loads..... 17 too much acid still... started doing more abstract hallucinigenics... came off them got a job... started taking pills... too many of them... quit job quit pills, quit pot, quit everything till, went back to colleghe... started smoking crack again a couple of weeks ago..

    That's pretty much my expierience of drugs so altho I cant really give medical advice on em.. I know what's going on cos I've probably been there.
