so at work today i did some mental math and realized i spend a little over 1000$ a year on tobacco, which i instantly thought was insane. i decided i was going to quit. this was at 11:00. so i go the rest of the day without nicotine, but when i got home i was just so damn irritable i just about choked my little brother out over absolutely nothing. so i just came in from a smoke and am just feeling down on myself about my rather speedy failure so figured id come here and vent it out a little.

That’s funny Smack, you told me last month you quit. Yet another lie I’ve caught you in. 

Anyways, don’t feel bad stretch squiggy, at least you don’t live here in Massachusetts. I smoke about 2 packs a day with a price of a little above 8 bucks a pack and just found out I spend almost $12,000 a year for the priviledge of killing myself slowly. You’re doing way better than I am, look at it that way.

I’ve known a few people who used the gum to quit. It works for most of them, but unfortunately, most of them end up addicted to the gum. Nicotine’s a bitch to get off of, just enjoy the ride. I believe that if you’re really a smoker and you quit, you’ll always be miserable. Do everyone around you a favor, smoke.

i just might have to… i’m usually a real nice easy going person, but today after i flipped out i just hated what i saw so i had a smoke before i got violent.

Yeah, that makes sense. Nobody likes to fail at anything. I was just saying don’t be hard on yourself, it’s a bitch to successfully quit smoking. You’re in good company, and just because you failed at it once doesn’t mean you’ll never kick the habit. I was just saying don’t be so hard on yourself, that’s all. Nobody I’ve ever known has successfully quit smoking the first time they tried.

6k is 3/5 of my income XD i don’t know what you make a year, but i’m willing to bet 1k to me is about equal if not greater than 6k to you.

Stretch have you tried being hypnotized? I am in the same boat you are right now and am seriously considering it. I watched a video that said if you have ever zoned out driving down the road and missed an exit, then you had hypnotized yourself so it is possible.

I dont quit shit I just stop.  I stopped doing coke…I could start but I choose not to.  I find that the majority of everyone I know who has quit doing something fixates on it and it leads to them relapsing.  If you just stop you hypothetically could start again at any point…you just choose not to.  I stop smoking every now and then and start back when I feel like it.  If you try this and only manage to stop for every other day…you just reduced costs by 500 bucks and by choosing when you stop and start cut down on the guilt trip factor.

 

I have a few homies trying to get off that needle which is fucking hard so kids dont shoot shit….One of them listened to me and took the stop start method and has relapsed but wasn’t overcome with guilt so he was able to admit it to us and we helped him detox.  The other quit and made a huge point (pun intended) but we all know hes still copping in secret..sure hes just nodding cuz he works too much…my ass…

@Slumerican(Just A Realist)502 never thought of that, seems kinda… Hoaxy to me

@LuckyNumbrXIII that’s how i did it whit drugs, but i haven’t been without nicotine since i was 12 it’s SO MUCH HARDER cause i’m not using tobacco to repress or run from anything i can work out… i’m just addicted…

You are quite welcome homie Im my own worst critic as well. I have a voice in my head that critques literally every interaction I go throw internally and externally and it used to cripple me with anxiety.  It still takes me out here and there but the single best tool to overcoming it I have built is using it constructivley when I can.  It doesnt always work but I try to harness that nervous feeling into energy…which admitadly sometimes backfires but also works sometimes to help me push myself.  Taking guilt out of occasions as often as possible like I do with stopping bad habits instead of quitting is another trick I use…its hard though bruh sometimes I get no sleep and sometimes I cant get myself outta bed cuz its too much…luckily my girl doesn’t allow that shit and makes me get moving wether I want to or not…

I quit smoking four years ago, cold turkey, without any gum or patches. This is after smoking for 15 plus years. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Never got the point in cigarettes, shit is nasty.  Go huff paint and glue or something.  At least marijuana and alcohol [… and some pills to top it off… >.>] are semi enjoyable.
