    Default 2 Days without a cigarette...

    I hesitate to post this as it's not safe to say anything until after 3 days, lol--but it looks good so far. Except reading and posting on SW is the sort of activity that makes me want to smoke! So bye for now...

    Go Djoser!! Congratulations and hang in there! If you're trying to gain a little weight, go ahead and snack when you feel the urge to smoke. Or just drink water. I'm a compulsive water-drinker and I'm the same way with my water bottles as other people are with their cigarettes.

    YOU CAN DO IT!!! I've been smoke free for 19 months now and I still occasionally get cravings. They pass just as quickly as they come, but they still happen.

    Let me know if you have smoking dreams. I'd have these dreams where I was sucking down Marlboro Lights while lounging in silk robes... it was very opium den-esque. I seem to be the only person who suffered from that!

    Well, I know about those smoking dreams, lol--this isn't the first time I have quit...

    So far so good, but it's dangerous to stay longer than a short time here! It's so funny how certain activities make you want to smoke--writing, drawing, etc...

    Yeah the food sounds good now--my appetite had been returning before, but with this now, my old ravenous hunger is coming back strong.

    Good for you!!!! Keep it up. And I'd suggest trying to avoid those 'triggering' activities for a while. When I quit (a real long time ago) drinking was so hard to do without smoking. But I just went out with my nonsmoking friends and that made it very easy. Good luck!

    2 days is a good start-I'm proud of you, Djoser! I have never been hooked on cigarettes, but I know people who have quit smoking or who have attempted to quit, and they said it's one of the most difficult things they've ever had to do. Keep up the good work!

    Stay motivated. You can do this. Keep thinking about the bad things smoking can do to your health whenever you have a craving.

    I still have dreams where I smoke, and am so disappointed in myself, then I wake up and am so glad I didn't really smoke. Quit for 19 months as well (Mia M, did you quit for my 25th birthday too? lol).

    Djoser, the first month is going to suck, I'm not going to lie. But it's SO worth it. If you do nothing else worthwhile in 2006, you'll always be able to look back and be like "I quit smoking!". It's the most important thing you could do.

    Hey I've been off the nicotine for 2 days too!
    Although I occasionally have a smoke made with herbs (instead of tobacco) to help replace the habit of going to smoke while the nicotine leaves my system. It's working so far but herbal smokes taste like ass.

    Keep up the good work DJoser & don't give in!

    Well, I should have been more clear about it, lol--this will be the 10th time or more I've done this. Once I quit for many years, the time before this, for almost two years. The quitting itself seems to get easier every time, but obviously it's hard not to start back up. It's true, though, you never stop missing it, not for a while, and even later in dreams.

    For me, a big motivation has been that when I smoke, I don't work out, and I am really missing that--it's been almost a year now, so I'm definitely ready. I even moved into a not-so-nice place temporarily, just so I could quit, it's owned by a guy who runs a martial arts school adjoining it, and the deal used to be that you could use the bags, etc. If I hit the bag, I quit--this is a proven fact, lol...

    Well, the rules have changed, you can't use the bags here, but fuck it--I quit anyway--now I'm looking for a much nicer place with a good tree to hang my own, so I make damned sure I don't start again.

    And no clove cigarettes! Ever! These have gotten me started way more than half the times I've slipped up. They're not real cigarettes, right? No, they're fucking worse, lol! Thank god no one has one here in front of me right now, I'd be in serious trouble.

    Sorry...Day Three and 1/2 rambling--and thanks for the support, everyone!

    The first time I ever quit, I smoked a lot of weed instead, lol--it really helped, especially since I smoked it the same way you'd smoke a cigarette, which is wasteful of weed, but who cares.

    I don't smoke weed so much anymore, so that's out...

    I don't know how you are doing, but I have found that the first 3 days is by far the toughest spell. Then the month after, not to start back up--especially if you are in a club like mine, where they hand you cigarettes they just lit as they go onstage, lol--that got me once.

    OMG! I do the same thing! I beat myself up in my dream then I wake up so relieved that it was only a dream!

    I've replaced smoking with (more) shopping and, unfortunately, food. I knew food tasted good, but after I got my taste buds back DAMN!

    It'd be nice to take control, make it a 'lucid' dream, and smoke 3-4 of the damn things right now, lol...

    I actually used the 'sleep method' of quitting this time, which entails reading really good escapist books in bed and trying to sleep as much as possible for the first two days.

    Congratulations Djoser!! Keep it up! You can do it for good this time!! If you do slip up (you won't) tell yourself you cannot smoke indoors! Having this rule helps tremendously. You have to really want one to go out in the heat for it. Plus then your place will smell sooo much better (who wants to live in an ashtray, yuk!). Good luck. We're proud of you!
