    Default Since im already sick...

    I figured I might as well quit smoking...

    Yea im floored right now with a lung infection and the flu.. I cant smoke(havnt in 4 days now) and the smell of smoke irritates me right now so I figured this is the perfect time.

    Though I admit I was craving one after I ate yesterday lol..

    Anyway I was really hesitant to say anything about this... I mean I may very well end up caving but I really want to try this... im on the whole 'fresh start to life' thing so quiting smoke might as well be a start to it.

    I wont give up smoking weed(no way nuh uh I am not givin the weed up lol).. but I want to give up cigs.... I quit drinking so I can quit smoking too.

    So help me out girls

    Yay, good for you Cally! Yes, it is verrry hard to quit smoking but with some will power and a LOT of weed, you can get through it. Roll up a bunch of one paper joints, and light it up whenever you get the urge to smoke. Put it out when you feel you're high enough. Lol. If your open to suggestions, take a big glass of water and ice, and drink through a straw. You might need a full glass or two, but you won't want a smoke after! I guess smoking and water don't mix. Good luck girlie!

    I know I took it up again, but I had quit for a year and half. When I stopped, I just took the whole 'one day at a time' thing. Just get through one day, then another, then another...also helps in winter, when it's too fucking cold to want to go out and smoke. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

    Yay cally!!!! You're better then me.

    I had a conversation with a friend yesterday, we were watching tv, and a comercial was offering cheap life insurance, "even if you live to 100". Well, I said to rachel "I'm going to live to 101, at least" just joking. She replied "Well, then you better quit smoking..." ouch....

    Yay! I quit a few years ago, it was totally worth it. Now I never crave 'em, but for awhile I did. I kept an open pack of cigs that I let get stale, and then when I absolutely had to have one, I'd light up one of those. If that nastiness won't make you quit, I don't know what will! lol

    Thanks guys!!!

    I've had a craving a few times today... and was seriously tempted to smoke and oh so close.. but I didnt give in!!!

    The hardest part is im in a smoking room lol....

    I wanna change to a non smoking room at the hotel so then I cant smoke, but I cant be bothered to pack up. Plus its just a good test of will power.

    I still feel like shit.. and I wanna hurl whenever someone lights a cig close to me so this is promising!!!!!!

    Yay go girl go!! Here's what happens to your body when you quit smoking..

    -- In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
    -- In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
    -- In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
    -- In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
    -- In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
    -- In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
    -- In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
    -- In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
    -- In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
    -- In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.

    *thorws out her ciggys* Hehe, hope you're holding up okay!! Get some candy or gum or something. Personally, I don't like sweets (yay teeth!) but something like sunflower seeds would keep you occupied. Or water. With ice and a straw. Lots of it!!

    Congratulations! I've heard good things about the water-with-a-straw method, and I've also heard that nibbling on celery sticks works. You can do it!
